Brand new games coming next week

Want us to put aside one of these games for you, as soon as they come in?

Flick 'Em Up (Deluxe Edition)

2-10 players | 45 minutes | £55

As dawn breaks, you plant your spurs in the dirt outside the town bank. With a loaded gun in your holster, there’s only one question that needs answering: who are you fighting for? The Sheriff, who fights to protect all that’s good and pure? Or the Cooper Clan, who fight because it’s fun and profitable? They don’t call it the Wild West for nothin'!

The Flick 'Em Up (Deluxe Edition) is made with gorgeous wooden pieces and is contained inside a wooden box with a sliding lid.

Knit Wit

From the man who brought us Pandemic comes Knit Wit, a word game with a twist.

Players are trying to think up unique answers to particular categories in order to score points, but instead of using fixed categories, players generate their own categories while playing the game and race to think of words, names, or phrases for each category.

The Gallerist

In The Gallerist, you will need to promote and nurture artists; buy, display, and sell their art; and build and exert your international reputation.

Do this well and you will draw visitors to your Gallery from all over the world. Build your fortune by running the most lucrative Gallery and secure your reputation as a world-class Gallerist!

New releases available now:

Tokaido Deluxe Edition

2-5 players | 45 minutes | £60

In Tokaido, each player is a traveler crossing the "East sea road", one of the most magnificent roads of Japan. While traveling, you will meet people, taste fine meals, collect beautiful items, discover great panoramas, and visit temples and wild places in a bid to be the most initiated traveler.

Tokaido: Deluxe Edition is the post-Kickstarter public release of parts of the Collectors Edition, that combines the beauty and gameplay of the original game with bigger features, the Crossroads expansion, and extra components.

Dalek Dice

You are part of the Dalek invasion force of Earth and nothing can stand in your way, not even the humans.

In Dalek Dice, you need to make sure you exterminate more humans than your fellow Daleks do to win the game!

Under the Mask: Time Stories (expansion)

The 4th expansion for Time Stories, Under the Mask, throws you back to ancient Egypt and the time of the Pharaohs! Can you solve the mystery and fix the temporal fault before it's too late?

Pre-order games available soon:

Dead of Winter: The Long Night

This is a pre-order product due out sometime in the third quarter of 2016.

'The Long Night' is a stand-alone board game as well as an expansion for Dead of Winter so players can start afresh or continue their epic struggle for power and survival in a zombie wasteland where nothing is safe.

Fight off bandits from another colony, build improvements to your colony, watch locations evolve and most intriguingly unravel the mysteries of the new 'Raxxon' pharmaceutical location. It is full of powerful items, but also full of Raxxon’s twisted human experiments that show up in the game as disturbing new enemies...
