Step into our Board Game Museum and you'll discover a treasure trove of vintage games from across the globe. We proudly house timeless classics such as Chess, Backgammon, and Go, alongside an assortment of out-of-print modern games that have become increasingly rare to find.

Not only can you admire these games, but you can also play them! It's a great way to connect with others and experience the joy of the games that got us where we are today.



With the public unveiling of the Board Game Museum, we're starting by bringing Hans im Glück's Goa: A New Expedition to the platform! Long out-of-print, this classic from Rüdiger Dorn (Istanbul, Karuba) is preserved digitally and yours to play from your home.

Soul of Ankiril is a Strategic Card Game where players will compete using thematic decks of 25 cards, one of each element or Temen (Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal), with the aim of deactivating the Emanation Portals on the opponent’s field. To do this, players will move their creatures on a board made up of hexagons, then it will be up to them to make the most of the map to achieve victory.

Each player will be able to construct their deck and choose a specific Board that represents their half of the battlefield, once the two players connect their halves the game can start! Both players will then place their Emanation portals and Leaders.

Three Kingdoms Redux is a board game that seeks to recreate the tripartite between the states of Wei, Wu and Shu. You assume the role of one of the three lords – Cao Cao leading Cao Wei, Sun Jian leading Eastern Wu or Liu Bei leading Shu Han. Players start the game from asymmetrical positions, reflecting the manpower advantages Wei enjoyed in the early part of the period. The weaker states of Wu and Shu protect themselves by forming an alliance.

As a feudal lord, you manage the different aspects of running a state whilst guarding your borders against both rebellious border tribes and external enemies. Managing each aspect well earns victory points for your state.

But beware, for the balance of power shifts constantly during the game. Understand and take advantage of the power shifts, and you will fulfill your grand ambition of re-unifying China!

In Kinfire Chronicles: Night's Fall, a 1-4 player co-operative, quest-based RPG board game, players take on the role of seekers, adventurers who are fighting to push back the darkness threatening to change and destroy the world of Atios. The game plays as a campaign of 15+ quests, and each quest takes an average of 45-60 minutes to complete. Within each quest, players can expect to make choices related to adventures, battles, NPCs to speak to, and more. These choices create a branching story in the game, allowing the entire campaign to be replayable.

Each quest has three phases: adventuring, battle, and exploration. In the adventuring phase, players make choices based on options presented on the quest cards and need to accomplish something (such as crossing a river or chasing down a suspect) by flipping the correct number and color of cards from their decks. In the battle phase, players work together to defeat enemies on a physical battle map. Turns are determined by drawing chits out of the destiny bag, with each enemy having numbered tokens that correspond with different attacks and actions. Players may play action cards on their own turns to do damage and can play boost cards on other players' turns to do things like reduce damage, move players, or even return a drawn chit to the destiny bag for redraw. The game doesn't end if an objective isn't achieved or an enemy defeats the heroes, but it will affect later gameplay and choice options. Lastly, on certain quests players can return to the city in the exploration phase to speak to NPCs, purchase items, and level up their decks.

Woven throughout each of these phases are cards that require you to make a choice, such as resting before moving on or charging into battle, or whether or not to spare someone's life. The characters in the game have their own set of morals and standards, and playing according to your character can earn you Kinfire tokens that help you level up. Ultimately though, the decisions you make are yours alone.
