6 nimmt! (Wolfgang Kramer)

A classic little card game where the bad news is playing the sixth card in a row. The problem is that you don't know where your card will end up until everybody reveals the cards they've chosen. So simple, so annoying! £9.00

Players explore and trade around the desert, aiming to be the first to collect three artefacts. Interesting stuff: £15.00.

A fiendish solitaire game of summoning the devil. Well, Baphomet anyway. The problem is getting the ritual right and timing its climax correctly or the consequences are hellish! £23.00.
 

Amul (Remo Conzadori and Stefano Negro)

I really like this card game of trading in the eponymous Persian city. It has some clever mechanisms coupled with scoring that depends on what cards are in your final tableau. Even better, the game is different with different numbers of players, providing a variety of challenges: £24.00.
 

Amun-Re (Reiner Knizia)

This 20th anniversary edition of yet another terrific design (with a central auction) from Reiner Knizia has been blinged up and expansions incorporated. It's still a great game: special offer £32.00.

Apiary (Connie Vogelman)

Bees in spaaace! The continuing adventures of highly evolved bees, seeking out new sources of pollen and new technologies. Boldly going where no bee has gone before! There is a certain daftness to the theme, but it's a cracking worker placement game: special offer £45.00.

A new faction, new Hive mat designs, extra tiles, new seed cards and more. All you need to add more variety to Apiary: special offer £17.00.

This is one of my favourite dexterity games as it's so simple and so much fun! Just remove one of the odd wooden shapes from the carefully balanced board... Oops! Great fun: £50.00.
 

Battle of Hoth (Richard Borg)

Yes, it's the start of The Empire Strikes Back with the players marshalling rebel fighters on one side and Imperial stormtroopers (and AT-ATs) on the other. The game uses Richard Borg's 'Commands & Colors' system to provide a fast-moving, not-too-challenging battle: £40.00.

Black Forest (Tido Lorenz and Uwe Rosenberg)

A re-development of Rosenberg's Black Forest, this is a big game that has the same theme of glass-making in the Black Forest region. This time, worker placement is the central mechanism, but players have the same challenge of gaining and using resources effectively: £45.00.

Bohnanza (Uwe Rosenberg)

Clever card game of bean planting and harvesting (and puns) that's all about managing your hand. It's been around for over 25 years, but it's still a challenge: £8.00.
