ABOUT US Spilbræt.dk is a Nordic board game distributor.

Here, our love of board games is hard to miss, the colorful, angular boxes within view of every square inch of our office building. Time is the most precious thing we have – so the games we surround ourselves with should be as precious as, if not more than, our time.

There’s much to love about board games. They serve as avenues for play, as safe spaces for pushing boundaries and as catalysts for intimacy. Where else, in a digital world of screens constantly on the go, do you get to unwind and have that most analogue of experiences; eye contact?

A good board game doesn’t collect dust – it creates memories. Memories of cozy Sunday afternoons with a significant other. Memories of drinks, good times and raunchy nights on the town. Memories of small gatherings of friends meeting for a singular purpose; to play. It is truly baffling, when you think about it, that the variously sized pieces of cardboard on the table utterly dissappear when you immerse yourself in the experience these exact pieces have invited you into. The best games exist purely between those who play it.

It is not without reason that we have stuck to our motto all these years – we do what we do for the love of games.

When (or let’s be honest, if) your teammates guess the word, your team moves forward on the board. The first team to move past the finish line wins the game!

An example: The theme is ‘Cinema’. You roll the four ‘letter dice’ which land on S P C T. Now, you have to give your teammates clues only consisting of words starting with these letters. Perhaps “superhero”, “popcorn”, “candy” and “time”, or “see previews” etc.

Strategy Game of the Year 2018 and one of the most popular strategy game-series ever!

Terraforming Mars is a fierce battle to be the first to transform the barren and desolate landscape of Mars into something beautiful – a place where humanity won’t simply survive, but thrive. Of course, this is more of a lucrative venture than it is ecological, and each player controls her own megaconglomerate aiming to, yes, make the planet sustainable, but all while maximizing profits at all turns.

Well, it is – but it is quite the nailbiter when this big and unforgiving game throws its players into the brutality of its thematic era.

As the head of each of your homesteads, you have to ensure that your family has food on the table, all while having to expand and renovate the homestead, plant new crops, harvest those crops, fencing in farm animals and, well, start a family. It is brutally difficult but it is exactly this difficulty that has warranted its status as an absolute classic.

On your turn, you may stop revealing poker chips, thereby ending your turn and netting you fewer points, or you may keep revealing poker chips to score yet more points. But if you reveal similar poker chips to ones already revealed, you don’t get to score anything – so it is a constant balance between risk and reward!

Players do this by flipping through the various sections of their ‘scoundrel book’ until it matches the clues.

Watch the clues as they are revealed to you because each accessory appears on two cards – except for the one belonging to the scoundrel. Note the missing accessory in your booklet and reconstruct the villain’s portrait...
