However, the message for all visitors - old and new - is as always, the same: Enjoy!

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.

The Keltis CD-ROM is the computer version of the classic Keltis board game. Pitch yourself either against the computer or other players via a LAN/internet connection. Now with solitaire play mode; for 1-4 players.

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.

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.

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.

This is Reiner's first original design for the Nintendo DS game system. He has devised a set of no less than 16 mini-games and great puzzles on five difficulty levels to give one's brain a complete workout. Travel the world, improve your score and pit your wits against the master!

Strozzi is the third in the Medici-Strozzi-Bardi series of trading games. In sixteenth century Italy, players vie to bring to port the most valuable cargoes, while also supporting artistic and scientific advances. For 3-6 players, age 10 and over.

Sushizock im Gockelwok is a frantic dice game of getting the best plate of sushi... while avoiding rotten fish. If you enjoyed Pickomino/Heckmeck am Bratwurmeck, then this is for you. For 2-5 players, age 6 and over.

Convivium Publications & FRED Distribution present Reiner's classic book of original card games set in the Wild West. Grab a deck of playing cards, a cooling sarsaparilla, and join the intrepid Joe Joker in his quest for the perfect card game.
