New to the web is the strategy game Sequence. Sequence is a combination card game and board game. The board shows playing cards laid out in rows and columns. Each player is dealt a hand of cards. When it’s your turn you pick up a card and play a card. When you play a card you cover the corresponding space on the board with your piece. The aim of the game is make a line of five pieces; a sequence.

A cross between rummy and connect four, Sequence is a fun family game with simple rules and logical strategy so you can get into it right away. You can also play with two people, a few people or as teams. This versatility can be rare in strategy games, so Sequence is a versatile addition to any games cupboard.


The Settlers of Catan is one of the most successful games of the last twenty years. After the success of the original board game, fans clamoured for a two player version and the Settlers of Catan card game was born. A nomination for the Spiel Des Jahres, the German game of the year award, shows this is no cheap spin off but a great game in its own right.

The card game has been out of print for what seems like an age but thankfully both the game and the card game expansion set are now back in stock.


Another modern favourite, the dice game Pass the Pigs is now back in stock after a few moths of absence, a good thing too as the tiny pigs make a perfect pocket size game for travelling.

Happy holidays,
