WELCOME to the Reiner Knizia games pages at Convivium. In these pages you will find background information and features on many of Reiner's games, as well as free games for you to play!
Congratulations to Reiner! The 2009 Austrian Game Prize has been awarded to Ramses Pyramid. This amazing game is the first fruit of development and marketing co-operation between LEGO and Reiner Knizia:
The GAMES 100 is compiled every year by the good people of GAMES magazine. For 2010, the top one hundred games includes no less than twelve designs by Reiner:
Check out the full GAMES 100 listing, together with useful reviews, at the Funagain website. Meanwhile... the message for all visitors here - old and new - remains the same: Enjoy! |

New and original games, as well as classic Reiner game titles at an App Store near you!
Enjoy Reiner discussing the development of Roto on YouTube. More designs are being added to the the popular iPhone/iPod Touch platform every month, so keep a watch out! |
|
Callisto is Reiner's ingenious new tile placement game. Players vie to place as many as possible of their tiles - which come in a variety of shapes. Unfortunately there's not enough room for them all... so careful planning is required to outwit your opponents' moves! |

It's Heckmeck! It's in a small tin!! All the fun of original Heckmeck (aka Pickomino) but all the components fit into a miniature tin (not to be confused with breath mints)... and try not to sneeze! For 2-7 players, ages 7 and up. |
 |
|
From the ingenious Einfach Genial stable comes a brand new game of tile placement. Try to get your double-hex tiles to connect between coloured scoring towers... and block your opponents at the same time. As before, your score is your worst colour. For 2-4 players, ages 10 and up. |

In Keltis, each player can embark on up to five quests. Points are awarded for achieving distance along each of the quest paths. But starting out on too many could lead to disaster. For 2-4 players, age 10 and over. Winner of the Spiel des Jahres 2008! Please visit the Cool Stuff page for Keltis solitaire. Also available: Keltis - Neue Wege, Neue Ziele [original game expansion]; Keltis: Das Kartenspiel [card game]; Keltis: Der Weg der Steine [tile game]; and Keltis: Das PC-Spiel [computer version]. |

Wer war's (Who was it?) is a children's boardgame. Players explore an enchanted - and haunted! - castle on a quest to find a magic ring. Helped by friendly (talking) animals in each location, they must find the ring's thief before the kingdom is lost. For 2-4 players. Winner of the Deutsche Kinderspiele Preis 2008! |
 |
|
Alles Tomate is an exciting little card game. Players need their wits about them as they try to remember where they last saw an item! For 2-8 players, age 6 and upwards. Winner of the German Educational Games Award 2008! |
 |
|
Lost Cities - The Board Game is the English language version of Keltis, but keeping the adventurous theme of the original card game. Each player can undertake up to five expeditions - but starting too many can be risky! This is a family boardgame for 2-4 players. |
