What's New?

I've added the first Apiary expansion, motor racing game HEAT: Pedal to the Metal and its expansion and the Robo Rally 30th Anniversary edition. And I'm very pleased to have the re-print of Keyflower and the new edition of Finca.

Don't forget my special offers, and a few odds and ends (including games with dings and dents) at special prices.

This page is updated irregularly (as new games arrive – once a month or so) or sign up for the Games from Pevans newsletter.
 

Apiary: Expanding the Hive (Connie Vogelmann)

A new faction, new Hive mat designs, extra tiles, new seed cards and more. All you need to add more variety to Apiary: £20.00.
 

Cacao (Phil Walker-Harding)

I'd have said Cacao was a bit abstract for me, but I am really enjoying it. It's all about getting your worker tiles in the right place to harvest beans and sell them. And work gold mines, fetch water and discover temples: £25.00.
 

Darwinning! (Multamäki family)

Evolution is the theme and players improve their species by adding traits, adapting to new environments, producing offspring and gaining food. It's a thoroughly entertaining little game that does not outstay its welcome: £17.00.
 

Finca (Wolfgang Sentker and Ralf zur Linde)

Okay, the game isn't not new to Games from Pevans, but this edition is. It's pretty much the same game, but with bright new artwork and tweaked to support up to five players: £26.00.

Fishing (Friedemann Friese)

An ingenious trick-taking card game from FF. You score by winning tricks and the first hand is straightforward. Players' next hands are drawn from the cards they won, with new cards coming into play that add higher values, trumps and more: £12.00.

Free Ride USA (Friedemann Friese)

A development of Free Ride, this moves the railway action (building and delivering) to the USA with a little tweak to the rules: £45.00.
 

HEAT: Pedal to the Metal (Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen)

I've finally caught up with this clever motor racing game. The deck management mechanism at its heart isn't quite to my taste, but I've found the racing really compelling: £45.00. (I also have the Heavy Rain expansion.)
 

In the Footsteps of Marie Curie (Florian Fay)

A follow-up to In the Footsteps of Darwin, this game has the players as lab assistants to the not-yet-Nobel-winning scientist. It's a nice bit of light tactical fun: £32.00.
 

Keyflower (Richard Breese and Sebastian Bleasdale)

Another not-new game, but I am so pleased to have this absolute classic back in stock. This is (a re-print of?) the original edition from R&D and Huch! £40.00.
 

Kutna Hora (Ondrej Bystron, Petr Cáslava and Pavel Jarosch)

The City of Silver (as it's sub-titled) is a wonderfully complex game of mining silver and developing the eponymous city. I'm particularly taken with the clever mechanism for tracking supply and demand (though there is an app for this): £50.00.
 

Maskmen (Jun Sasaki and Taiki Shinzawa)

Six masked wrestlers, but who would beat whom? Players establish the pecking order (grappling order?) by playing cards. The aim is to get rid of all your cards, which is trickier than it sounds. Entertaining stuff: £18.00.
 

Nine Tiles Extreme (Jens Merkl and Jean-Claude Pellin)

A development of Nine Tiles Panic, this is essentially the same game of matching a pattern with your nine cards as quickly as possible. The difference is that the match may be by colour instead of symbol. It's a quick rush of panic each time: £18.00.
 

Pandoria Merchants (Jeffrey Allers and Bernd Eisenstein)

A roll-and-write standalone game based on the Pandoria board game. As with the original, players are exploring new lands for their people as they flee the Goblin Hordes. However, in this game they're rolling dice rather than placing tiles: £20.00.
 

Pandoria: Trolls & Trails (Jeffrey Allers and Bernd Eisenstein)

The latest expansion for Pandoria provides a solitaire game on one side of the board and an alternative map for the base game on the other: £10.00.
 

Rafter Five (Jun Sasaki and Mashiu)

It's a dexterity game: balance the rafters (there are five shapes) to build up the largest raft to hold you and your treasures. But dislodging the (precarious) treasures gives penalties: £18.00.
 

Robo Rally 30th Anniversary Edition (Michael Davis and Richard Garfield)

Robots racing around a dangerous factory floor! Players program their robot and then watch it all fall apart as the unexpected intervenes. The 30th Anniversary edition has been blinged up and the player count increased to 8. It's still mayhem: £100.00.
 

Sail or Die (Andreas Preiss)

Another card game where players aim to shed their cards. However, this time you start with points and try not to lose them along the way. Though I still don't understand the title: £16.00.
