Two highly anticipated games from Holy Grail Games make their way to Tabletopia - Museum: Pictura and Rallyman: GT!


Museum: Pictura is a standalone set collection game for 2-4 players by Olivier Melison and Eric Dubus, in which you take on the role of an aspiring curator in an art museum.

Set in the roaring 20’s, the game is gorgeously illustrated in art deco style by French artist Loïc Muzy, while the 180 paintings featured in the game have been individually brought to life by Ekaterina Varlamov.

Museum: Pictura brings exciting new mechanics and strategies to the table, while maintaining a strong family connection to its predecessor. With a wealth of ways to score points and plenty of player interaction, Museum: Pictura’s fresh mechanics bring a fascinating twist to the original Museum game, that is sure to delight veteran curators and new players alike!

Meanwhile, Rallyman is a Roll and Move game with a simple yet exciting dice mechanic that invites players to push their luck and navigate the terrain as best they can. Will you take a risk and squeeze every last second out of the track, or will you play it cool and avoid spinning out on hard corners, bumps and other treacherous terrain? Start your Engines!

Victim is a horror board game where players cooperate to complete defined missions for 2-6 people. The game takes about 40-90 minutes to play. Each player will receive a different character with unique skills such as enhanced abilities in navigation, searching, healing, and decoding. Players will need to brainstorm and wisely divide duties for each other and find a way out within the time limit.

However, in the middle of the game, one of the players will become possessed by Evil, changing their objective to eliminate the other players or sabotaging their escape attempt. The remaining players will have to team up to overcome obstacles and escape the deadly forest.

Hey Tabletopians!

We want to invite you all to our Learn & Play event on Friday, May 22nd. Our partners from Board&Dice will demonstrate Teotihuacan: City of Gods - the rondel worker placement game. After the rules explanation you'll be able to find opponents among other attendees and play straight away.

Stay tuned to our Twitch channel to join both sessions live and join our Discord channel to play the game right after the rules explanation.

Onitama is a two-player, perfect information abstract game with a random starting set-up. On a 5x5 board, both players start with five pawns on their side, with the main pawn in the middle.

Each player has two open cards that each display a possible move for any of his pieces. There is a fifth card that cannot be used by either player. On a player's turn, he chooses one of his cards, moves one of his pieces according to the chosen card, then replaces the card he used with the fifth card. The other player then chooses one of his cards, moves accordingly, and exchanges that card with this fifth card — which is, of course, the card the first player just used.

Moving onto one of the opponent's pawns removes that pawn from the game. Taking the opponent's main pawn, or moving your main pawn into your opponent's main pawn's starting space, wins you the game.

Onitama is now on Tabletopia with its two expansions - Sensei's Path & Way of the Wind!

The third game in the West Kingdom trilogy is here! Following on from Architects and Paladins, it's now your time to lead the kingdom to prosperity (or poverty - whichever comes first) in Viscounts of the West Kingdom!

Viscounts of the West Kingdom is set at a time when the King’s reign began to decline, circa 980 AD. Choosing peace over prosperity, our once strong King began offering our enemies gold and land to lay down their axes. But peace is a tenuous affair. As poverty spread, many people lost faith in his ability to lead and sought independence from the crown. Since finding favour in his courts, our future has also become uncertain. As viscounts, we must be wise and decisive. Loyalty is to be upheld, but gaining favour among the people must be our priority, should there be a sudden shift in power.

The aim of Viscounts of the West Kingdom is to be the player with the most victory points (VP) at game's end. Points are gained by constructing buildings, writing manuscripts, working in the castle and acquiring deeds for new land. Players begin with a handful of townsfolk, but should quickly seek out more suitable talents to advance their endeavours. Each turn they will be travelling around the kingdom, looking to increase their influence among the various areas of society.

Pool building, a rondel, and set collecting collide in this race to recruit the best people for the job. Can you gain the most favour from both the king and the kingdom itself?
