Best Selling Items
Agricola Board Game
GL Price:
£37.99
(RRP is £44.99)
Agricola is a turn-based game. There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvest phases (after turn 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14). Each player starts with two playing tokens (farmer and wife) and thus can take two actions per turn. There are multiple options, and while the game progresses, you'll have more and more: first thing in a turn, a new action card is flipped over. Problem: Each action can be taken just once per turn, so it's important to do some things with high preference. Each player also starts with a hand of 7 Occupation cards (of more than 160 total) and 7 Minor Improvement cards (of more than 140 total) that he may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy. This amounts to countless strategies, some depending on your card hand. Sometimes it's a good choice to stay on course, sometimes you better react on what your opponents do. Agricola can also be played without cards (family game) and can even be played solo. Contents: 360 cards, over 300 wooden components, 50+ tiles, 9 boards, tokens, scoring pad.

| | Blokus Board Game
GL Price:
£14.49
(RRP is £20.00)
Twice voted game of the year. This colourful strategy game, whereby you expand your territory and blockade your opponents, has loads to recommend it. Like originality and international awards, for starters. But, best of all, the rules can be mastered in a flash and the average game takes just 20-30 minutes. Brilliant fun for one to four players.

| | Race for The Galaxy Card Game
GL Price:
£17.99
(RRP is £20.99)
In Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Each round consists of one or more of five possible phases. In each round, each player secretly and simultaneously chooses one of seven different action cards and then reveals it. Only the selected phases occur. For these phases, every player performs the phase’s action, while the selecting player(s) also get a bonus for that phase. For example, if at least one player chooses the Develop action, then the Develop phase will occur; otherwise it is skipped. In it, each player may simultaneously select a development from his hand of cards to build. After revealing the cards, each player adds his development to his tableau of cards on the table and then discards cards from his hand equal to its cost. Each player who chose Develop discards one card fewer as his bonus. Explore allows a player to draw cards and select which of them to add to his hand. Settle allows a player to place a world in his tableau. Some worlds produce goods, represented by face down cards, when Produce is selected. These goods can be discarded for victory points or sold to add cards to the player’s hand by selecting Consume. With cards, players can settle new worlds and build more developments, gaining both victory points and card powers that provide advantages in certain phases. The player who best manages his cards, phase and bonus selections, and card powers to build the greatest space empire, wins. The winner is the player with the most victory points.

| | Arkham Horror: Kingsport Horror Expansion
GL Price:
£20.99
(RRP is £24.99)
In a sleepy little mist-shrouded town named Kingsport on the coast of Massachusetts, ancient forces have begun to stir. The barrier between worlds – never that thick to begin with in this dream-haunted place – has begun to fray, leaving rifts in the fabric of reality that can be felt as far away as the neighboring city of Arkham. However, Kingsport has its own protections. There are guardians who watch over it for their own reasons, and powerful forces atop the craggy Kingsport Head that can benefit mankind…assuming they can be bothered. From the worm-ridden graveyard on Central Hill, to the quiet solitude of the North Point Lighthouse, Kingsport is a city of wonders for those who dream, and dangers for those who dare to follow their dreams too far. The Kingsport Horror expansion to Arkham Horror adds the neighboring town of Kingsport. It includes new investigators, new Ancient Ones, new monsters, and new cards that may be used with the base Arkham Horror game. It also features new game elements including a new board, heralds and guardians, an Epic Battle deck, and dimensional rifts.
