You can’t know for sure, but you might have an inkling…

Inkling is a word game with an innovative twist.

Each turn you will play your cards in front of you, hoping the players next to you can glean the words you are trying to convey - but without the perfect letters you will need to get creative.

How you go about that is up to you: rotate your cards, play them upside down or on their side, or have them overlap one another - whatever it takes to get your meaning across!

A game for 3-6 players, suitable for age 14+, playing time 20 minutes

Veilwrath

Veilwrath

Veilwrath by Tristan Hall (Hallornothing Games)

A Tabletop Gaming Magazine ‘Must-Play’

The hush settled across the land beneath the obsidian skies. There was a hissing from the trees as they recoiled from the broiling mists, branches curling up and twisting into ash, then blowing away on the breeze. As the stars faded in the sky the terrible silence was deafening.

Suddenly, a depthless chasm ripped the ground asunder as though giant hands had torn the earth apart. Buildings and entire streets buckled and felll into the abyss along with screaming hordes of bodies.

The plates of the earth shrieked and shifted, and as the giant mountains of land that had been thrown into the sky descended, a fathomless ash cloud filled the air.

And so the world ended…

Veilwrath is a fantasy card game set after the end of the world featuring deck building elements for 1 player.

Veilwrath is played over a series of games or ‘vignettes’ which together make up a campaign. In each vignette, the player, as the Veilwrath, must collect 5 keys and defeat all of that vignette’s foes, all whilst evading the watchful eye of the Archfiend. Once they have completed all of their objectives, the Veilwrath must race to reach the Portal in time to escape back beyond the Veil and win the game.

Kingdomino

Kingdomino by Bruno Cathala and Cyril Bouquet (Blue Orange Games)

The multi-award winning domino game!

A majestic twist on a popular classic!

Seek new lands to expand your territory! Connect your dominoes wisely to build the most impressive kingdom - crowns are needed to score big.

Create the best realm to be crowned king!

Each turn, the player selects a new domino to connect to their existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. The order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen, with better tiles forcing players to pick later in the next round. The game ends when each player has completed a 5x5 grid (or failed to do so), and points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and valuable crown symbols.

A game for 2 - 4 players, suitable for age 8+, playing time 15 mins

World’s Most Difficult Jigsaw Puzzle - Cats (by Paul Lamond Games)

What makes it so difficult? It has the same artwork on both sides which makes any puzzle hard but there’s more to this story. Jigsaw puzzles are cut in a press and stamped out like dough. This makes the groove in the top of the puzzle and leaves the bottom flat. Any smart puzzler would easily pick up on this and be able tell immediately which side is which…except that…

…this is no ordinary jigsaw puzzle! This puzzle is cut once from each side, cutting the vertical locks from the front, then flipping them over and cutting the horizontal locks from the back. There is no way to tell which side is which!

Each piece must be compared on both sides for size, shape, colour and fit. If the pieces don’t fit perfectly, you’ve got it wrong.
