Sierra Madre Games logoSierra Madre Games

The Sierra Madre Games Company has been going since 1992, producing games that are strong on history, science, or science fiction. Main man Phil Eklund is a rocket scientist in real life, which may explain the scientific content. While an educational component is explicit in many of Sierra Madre's games, they are also very good and great fun. In recent years, their games have been co-published with Ion Game Design of Sweden.

For more information, see the Sierra Madre Games Company website.

The table below lists the Sierra Madre games currently available from Games from Pevans. Click on the title or picture to find out more about them.

Bios: Genesis (2nd ed) (Phil Eklund)

The first in the sequence of Bios games starts with the amino acids that are building blocks of life. It ends with the first creatures, ready to evolve into everything else. It is explicitly a "brutal" game as players create micro-organisms that try to survive and grow in a hostile environment: £34.00.

Bios: Megafauna (2nd ed) (Andrew Doull, Phil Eklund, Jon Manker)

The second Bios game starts as life crawls/slithers/hops out of the sea and onto land. The environment is still hostile, though, and players' creatures must evolve, expand and adapt as the climate and geography change. Hugely challenging, great fun and educatonal, too: £58.00.

Bios: Mesofauna (Phil Eklund and Jon Manker)

A scaled down version of Bios: Megafauna in two senses. First, the focus is on arthropods (insects, arachnids and crustaceans) rather than the big beasts. Second, gameplay has been radically streamlined (though the two games can still be combined). As ever, it's the struggle to survive and evolve: £43.00.

Bios: Origins (2nd ed) (Phil Eklund, Jon Manker)

The third Bios game reaches the pinnacle of evolution: us! Starting as sub-species of early humans, players develop to create Homo Sapiens and meet the challenges as we become Human: £64.00.

Greenland (3rd ed) (Phil Eklund)

New and revised edition (it now supports up to four players) of this brutal game of survival in inhospitable medieval Greenland. I find it a challenge every time I play: £32.00.

Thumbnail of Neanderthal (2nd ed) cover

Neanderthal (2nd ed) (Phil Eklund)

New, slightly revised edition of this clever game of human evolution. Surprisingly, the trick is not to "bang the rocks together", but to develop speech and a tribal culture. It's still tricky to accomplish, even when you know what you should be doing: £30.00.

Thumbnail of Pax Transhumanity cover

Pax Transhumanity (Matt Eklund)

The Pax series goes into the future and explores how Homo Sapiens might transcend its own biology. The game uses the core Pax mechanisms, along with features from earlier games and some additional tweaks. Mind-blowing: £35.00.

Follow the Viking sagas east to open up the hinterland of Europe to trade (and conquest). This is a heavyweight addition to the Pax series of games, with some familiar mechanisms at its core:£45.00 Special offer: £35.00 (£29.17 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
