- New Board Games
- New Murder Mystery Games

As a traditional games shop we don’t get a new crop of games very often, but 2006 has been a particularly good year. There are four new board games on the site,

Canal Mania.
A game set in the great British Canal building era.
Players compete to build canals, simple on flat ground, but more difficult terrain will require aqueducts, tunnels and lock systems.
We say: We always like to see high quality games from British inventors a game faithful to geography and the era that inspired it.

Blue Moon City
A science fiction themed game, players work to rebuild the Blue Moon City. Different choices throughout the game mean that you can play over and over again and try out different strategies to win.
We say: It's been released to eager anticipation and great reviews. A good, get them away from that computer game.

Thurn and Taxis
This year's winner of the Spiel des Jahres
Players compete to build a postal service in old Germany. Create routes and stagecoaches and establish new offices.
We say: Great for families and people who don't play board games too often. Works well with two, three or four players.

Tempus
A civilisation building game that starts with fire and ends up with a modern society. Choose between waging war or gathering technology. There are no dice in this game, your decision making is what counts.
We say: This is much shorter then some civilisation building games and takes about two hours to play. A good Sunday afternoon game with friends or family.

We’ve added new titles to our murder mystery party games section these include…
Death by Chocolate, Paris, 1900.
Sherlock Holmes, The Silver Bullet, Hampshire 1905
Murder in Café Resistance, France, WWII
Murder on the Dance floor, backstage at the dancefactor reality show.
Murder in Las Vegas, which of the seedy Vegas characters killed off the casino owner?
