Altiplano (Reiner Stockhausen)

The game that introduced me to 'bag-building', it's an entertaining struggle to gather and use the resources you need (alpaca, anyone?) in the high valleys of the Andes: £36.00 Special offer: £28.00 (£23.33 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Alubari (Tony Boydell)

The Himalayan foothills are a great place for tea plantations. Now, how to get your tea to market? How about a railway line? A development of Snowdonia, this is another terrific game from Mr Boydell: £36.00 Special offer: £30.00 (£25.00 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

The Castles of Tuscany (Stefan Feld)

Feld has transformed his dice-based The Castles of Burgundy into this faster, less complex game that's powered by cards. And based in Tuscany rather than Burgundy: £36.00 Special offer: £30.00 (£25.00 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Corrosion (Stefan Bauer)

An ever-present problem with the steam-powered iron engines you build in this game is the way they corrode. You need to build rust-proof machinery in nice shiny chrome. Which is tricky: £36.00 Special offer: £26.00 (£21.67 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

High Rise (Gil Hova)

Time to re-develop the city with some exciting new skyscrapers. First you need blueprints, second the right materials and third the right permits. Greasing a few palms should do the trick – though corruption is punished... eventually: £45.00 Special offer: £38.00 (£31.67 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Humboldt's Great Voyage (Remo Conzadori and Nestore Mangone)

I had fun with this at Spiel '19. Players use a clever Mancala-style mechanism to voyage from port to port around the planet, collecting goods to fill their ship. With lots of bonus opportunities along the way: £26.00 special offer £15.00 (£12.50 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Maglev Metro (Ted Alspach)

A tricky game of delivering passengers and managing resources as you upgrade subways in Manhattan or Berlin: £50.00 Special offer: £40.00 (£33.33 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

MegaCity: Oceania (Jordan Draper and Michael Fox)

Gorgeous-looking game that's a terrific mixture of dexterity (stacking pieces on cardboard tiles that you then have to slide into position) and tactics (getting the right pieces and tiles). More clever stuff from the Hub guys: £32.00 Special offer: £25.00 (£20.83 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

The Networks: Executives (Gil Hova)

This is a substantial expansion that changes The Networks by having an Executive (each with their own advantages and disadvantages) at the helm of each network. There's also a 'Pilot Season' for players to draft their starting line-up of programmes: £24.00 Special offer: £15.00 (£12.50 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

North American Railways (Peer Sylvester)

I played this clever card game of railways and company shares at the UK Games Expo and was very taken with it. Players take share cards, Company Directors take city cards that provide income for shareholders, but both involve some careful decision-making: £13.00 Special offer: £10.00 (£8.33 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Pax Viking (Jon Manker)

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...).
 

Quartermaster General: The Cold War (Ian Brody)

The QMG series puts supply at the heart of warfare and this one pits NATO, the Warsaw Pact and the non-aligned nations against each other. The threat of nuclear war hangs over the three groups' manoeuvring: £45.00 special offer £32.00 (or make me an offer...).
 

Red Alert: Carrier Escalation Pack

Like other capital ships, the carrier is accompanied by three fighters. However, the Carrier can launch its fighters, separately or together, to attack enemy ships. The pack contains models for both sides, markers and a couple of scenarios: £12.00 Special offer: £9.50 (£7.92 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Red Alert: Dreadnought Escalation Pack

The pack includes an 11 cm Dreadnought model and fighters for both sides. Unlike the Flagships' cap fighters, these fighters attack, making the Dreadnought unit seriously powerful. Also in the box are the appropriate markers, along with a couple of scenarios that incorporate the Dreadnoughts: £13.00 Special offer: £9.50 (£7.92 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Red Alert: Logistics and Space Platform Escalation Pack

A space station and transport ships that can be used by either side. The former has a long range when attacking, the latter have minimal combat strength, but score double points for planets or exiting the battlefield. Plus markers and scenarios: £12.00 Special offer: £10.00 (£7.92 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Red Alert: Meteor Storm Escalation Pack

Now there are meteors randomly appearing. This adds a hazard for both sides to avoid – though ships can try to destroy any dangerous meteors. The zip-lock contains the tiles and rules (plus a couple of scenarios): £10.00 Special offer: £7.00 (£5.83 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Sheepdogs of Pendleton Hill (Max Michael)

This game from the Stratamax collective is professionally produced to a high standard. It is a simple game with brightly coloured wooden pieces: small sheep and tall shepherds for each player and a black, black wolf! It's an entertaining game that isn't as light as you might think: £30.00 £20.00 (or make me an offer...).
 

Undaunted: North Africa (David Thompson and Trevor Benjamin)

The second Undaunted game moves the setting to earlier battles in North Africa. This time, it is the soldiers of the Long Range Desert Group raiding against the Royal Italian Army and introduces tanks to the infantry fights: £24.00 Special offer: £20.00 (£16.67 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Valparaiso (Louis and Stefan Malz)

The eponymous Chilean port is the setting for this game of nineteenth century trade. Players buy, sell and export goods to gain 'Achievements': £30.00 Special offer: £24.00 (£20.00 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Wormlord (Jonathan Bittner and Andrew Cedotal)

Wonderfully bonkers real-time game of grabbing territory with your 'worms' (shoe laces, effectively). It takes just ten minutes: £23.00 Special offer: £18.00 (£15.00 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
 

Bonfire (Stefan Feld)

Another heavyweight game from Feld,this one is really tricky with a lot of options and decisions – and a dose of luck. (I'll draw a veil over the odd fantasy theme.) Special purchase: £24.00. (RRP ~£60)
 

Expedition to Newdale (Alexander Pfister)

A fascinating campaign of exploration in eight chapters with the mechanisms from Pfister's Oh My Goods! at its core. Special purchase: £24.00. (RRP £54)

UNDO series (Michael Palm and Lukas Zach)

I really like this series of co-operative deduction games (there are eight in total). Players must decide how to alter past events so that they come to a 'better' conclusion. The debate and discussion around the table is great fun: £6.00. (RRP ~£12)
