- Three new games
- Carrom Boards are back (nearly)
The Compendia
online catalogue has had a bit of a refurbish over the
last month. There’s now a menu on the left hand side
to make it easier to jump from section to section, so perhaps
you’ll discover some segments of the site you’ve
never seen before. Any and all feedback on the site is gratefully
received.
It’s holiday time and there are plenty
of different games to take on different kinds of holidays.
Take a look at the travel
games section for miniature versions of your favourite
games. Don’t miss the card
games, they’re light, small and fun to play.
You might also like to try a new dice
games, most have an element of skill as well as luck and
some are small enough to fit in your pocket.
If you’re travelling by car you can take
away something a bit heavier. Rediscover an old favourite
like rummikub
or tri-ominos.
Learn to play a new dominoes
game over evening drinks.
We have three new games
Shadows Over Camelot
Instead of playing against each other you and your fellow
players, as Knights of the Round Table, will join together
to defeat the game itself.
Alas your quest is further complicated by the ever-present
possibility of a Traitor in your midst, biding his time, waiting
to strike at the worst possible moment...
Louis XIV
Slip on the role of clever court attendant and try your luck
in the court of Louis XIV. Influence the King. Bribe ministers
and buy generals. Spin intrigue and spread your net in the
empire of the Sun King. Every plan is right - if it works!
Use of information discovered in the court to help you fulfill
your mission -and win the game!
Power Grid
An empire building strategy game.
The object of the game is to supply the most cities with power.
You need raw materials; oil gas, uranium, wind, to make your
power so there is a constant clash between your need to buy
resources and develop networks.
It was about this time last year that we lost
our supplier of Carrom boards. They’ve been sorely missed
so we’re pleased to announce that they’re nearly
back. At first it will be impossible for us to keep up with
demand so to register your interest, email us at info@compendia.co.uk,
or have a look at our carrom rules and information.
The most exciting thing about our new
Carrom boards is that we’re making them ourselves. We’ll
be making all sorts of high quality hand crafted wooden games.
Mr Toogood (or ‘Dad’ as we like to call him) will
be making the games with help from the ever over excited Compendia
staff. We’ll soon be unleashing a new website and we’ll
keep you informed of new products as they arrive*.
*amendment 1st August 2005, the new website
is at:
www.toogoods-games.co.uk
