Our team is back from Gen Con, some more jet lagged than others, but all safe and happy that we got to spend the four days in Indy, meeting friends old and new and sharing our passion for games with others.

Thank you all who visited us in our room 235–239 and played our games or just stopped by to say hi – and those of you who didn’t make it to the show, here’s an overview of the most interesting Gen Con highlights.

It’s a great pleasure today to announce another big euro-style game for this year: Deal with the Devil — by Matúš Kotry, the author of Alchemists – is a deeply thematical euro-style game for 4 players, set in a fantasy medieval era.

Players are competing to construct grand buildings in a medieval city. To be a successful ruler, you need resources. To get resources, you need to make smart deals, offering the other players things they really need. One of the players is secretly the devil and really needs a piece of your soul.

Thanks to the simple app, all identities and trades are kept secret, and nobody really knows who is who

Gen Con’22, starting this year on August 4th in Indianapolis, will bring a ton of fun. We hope you’ll come to visit us at CGE room n. 235 and check what we have there for you!

Be among the first to get your hands on Galaxy Trucker: Keep on Trucking, which is launching at Gen Con, as well as other hits including, Lost Ruins of Arnak, the Expedition Leaders expansion, Letter Jam, Under Falling Skies, and bonus items for your favorite games!

New Mode for Codenames!

Missing Page from Lost Ruins of Arnak Rulebook

It has come to our attention that our Lost Ruins of Arnak rulebooks are missing the last page, covering some very important rules clarifications. We regret this error…

To the Russian players who have bought some of our games in the past: we strongly believe the vast majority of you do not support the acts of war your president and government have unleashed upon Ukraine.

We totaled all of the profit we have ever received from Russian copies of CGE games; it is nearly €400,000 Euro. We have sent all of this money to help Ukraine.

We hope you won’t mind this decision. Perhaps you may even welcome it. Thank you again for buying, playing, and enjoying our games—in addition to the fun we hope you had with them, it will now also help a just cause.

Mark your calendars because we have a very special stream coming up next week!

Ray, our amazing content creator, will be sitting down with Arnak designers, Mín and Elwen, for a live Q&A! And we’ll be super happy to have you join us 🙂 So stop by the Twitch stream to ask your questions and just chat.

The stream will happen on February 3^rd, 3pm EST/9pm CET

at https://twitch.tv/CzechGamesEdition

We’re happy to share with you that, after its long voyage across the ocean, the container carrying boxes of Expedition Leaders has safely arrived in our US warehouse.

This means that the first English copies of Lost Ruins of Arnak: Expedition Leaders should be starting to pop-up in stores around the US in mid January and early February – and some stores might have already received their copies! Make sure to keep an eye out 😉

A similar situation should be happening in Australia and New Zealand – our partners in those two countries should have recently received their first orders and the first expansions are starting to be available for sale.

Wikinger Brettspiel auf Kickstarter » Seite 2 von 2 » Abenteuer Brettspiele

Vikings are really trending at the moment. With Valhal there is another board game coming to Kickstarter, that has the bearded, battle proven warriors as main theme.

I had the opportunity to get my hands on a Prototype of the game, and am about to tell you how I liked it.

I also did a extensive Interview with one of the developers of the game, which you can find in this article.

Valhal – Kickstarter

It’s already the second run for the creators of Valhal. The Nuremberg based Game Developers were not entirely satisfied with their first attempt. They have used the feedback of their backers to apply a couple of changes to their campaign.

I also had the chance to play the Prototype of the board game before the release. As usual for Prototypes, it’s all home made and of course not final, but the game itself is playable.

The game is all about Vikings and their raids. Each Player takes part as a Jarl on the Island Fjörnheim. They build their own settlement, recruit warriors and raid villages and towns on the Mainland.

2 to 4 players try to gain Glory and the Favour of the Gods this way. Who makes it to the seventh „Favour-Space“ wins the game.

Rules, Game Experience and Features

The 28 page rulebook might scare you at the first look, but don’t get fooled! It is a rather small, square rulebook. In normal rulebook-pages it would probably be half of that.

Also there is Flavour-Text and the access is made simple, as the play of the complete first year is explained and shown in examples. This makes it easyer to understand the procedures, as you are taken by the hand and are able to play along.

The game proceeds through seasons. There are 3 of them: Spring, Summer and Winter. The Autumn was dropped, instead of that there is an especially long and harsh winter.

At the beginning of every season (with the exception of the first summer, when the game starts) an Event Card gets played, that effects all players.

When it is summer, it is followed by a raid for loot. The players get to pick (a dice roll decides who picks first) from the layed out villages and towns, which they would like to raid. It’s also possible to attack multiple targets, if you have enough warriors and ships, of course.

Immediately the Players place the warriors and ships (each ship can carry 2 warriors) to the villages/towns they would like to attack.

The battles are fought by rolling dice, until either one of the sides has lost the fight, or the attacker decides to retreat. If you have won the fight, you get your loot, most of the time that’s glory and loot cards. Last of both brings you different bonuses, from money, over food, new troops, up to more glory or even another step on the „Favour of the Gods“ display.

After that you can use every season (Spring, Summer and Winter) to recruit units and construct buildings. This plays through an interesting building-mechanic, in which it takes a couple of rounds, until anything gets finished. I really like that (There is by the way a similar mechanism with the warriors, if they get wounded, the card is turned by 180° and has lesser strength)

To develop buildings, ships or troops, coins are neccessary and you also have to provide food in every season, in the long winter even 2. Otherwise your people won’t work.

In the third step, the change of the season, everything gets played out, the used coins and food go back into the source, and everything is prepared for the next season. Also each player gets a coin.

And just like that it goes through the different seasons, you try to build your settlement and get more troops and boats, to raid more villages and towns, get loot and more glory and favour.

The Player who makes it first to the last space of the „Favour of the Gods“ display wins the game.

My game Experience

The game is a Prototype. Even though a lot of cards already have the final graphics, there was still a lot missing. Also of course the quality of this print is not comparable to the future print of the final version. Still the game made a very good first impression. It is a fairly easy game, the rulebook is clearly structured and the game is fun.

I especially like the construction mechanism of the buildings (which of course bring you advantages) and of the troops and boats. On the backside of the cards you find the numbers 1-3 or 1-4. It takes that many seasons until a building project is finished. You just turn the card one step ahead at a time, and see how many seasons more you have to go. Using certain tokens or buildings, you can shorten the production time.

I like the artwork a lot, even though it is just a prototype. For instance there are very nice artworks on the village and town cards.

The game beeing played in seasons is also interesting, even though I missed the autumn in the beginning. The rulebook always talks about seasons, and you kind of expect 4 of them. But it’s also a good thing that there’s only 3, as you can only raid in summer.

The Event Cards, God Cards and Loot cards also bring a lot of variety and atmosphere into the game.

The fight play a bit fiddly in the beginning. You have to add things and afterwards clear them away from the battle tableau. But after a while it becomes quite fluid.

I also fear, that there might not be enough diversity on the long run. There’s always the raids in summer and afterwards 3 building phases. It would be nice, if there were even more Event cards and other things to bring some diversity.

Also the „end phase“ is unusual. The first player who has 7 glory and reaches the 6th space of the „Favour of the Gods“ display starts this phase. Afterwards all players still have the chance to reach the 7th space of the display (but cannot use glory to get there). If no other player is able to do so, the player who has started the phase, wins the game.

Pricing and Stretch Goals.

The Game will be released in German and English. My Prototype already was in German.

With EUR39 (Early Bird EUR36) for the Standard edition you can start quite reasonable. There’s still shipping added.
