With the darker evenings settling in, this is the time of year when enthusiasm for playing board games picks up again. Modern board games strive to be simple to learn and stimulating to play.

This year the Spiel Des Jahres, the most prestigious board game award, was won by Ticket to Ride from prolific games designer Alan R Moon. This and previous award winners are profiled at the website. There are separate pages for the 1995 winner Settlers of Catan and the groundbreaking tile laying game Carcassonne.

The old favourite metal cricket dice game Owzthat seems to be your new favourite as well. The executive edition has metal pieces in a wooden box and for Christmas we have some luxury sets which come with a nice pen for keeping score.

Every Tuesday from now until Christmas our shop in Greenwich Market will be open until 8:00. Of course many of you are not in London, but if you want to send somebody down to get things for you we hope Tuesday evenings will make it more convenient.

We’ve added the rules to Blind Hughie to our website. This simple dominoes game is fun for younger children and good for adults too.

If you want to receive our games, as well as giving them, now’s the time to tell your friends about www.compendia.co.uk, perhaps with a small hint about what you would like to see under the tree.

And finally…We will run out of things in December and the post will become more unreliable so it is more relaxing to shop early and you will get more choice.

As ever, if you have any enquiries, get in touch.

Yours,
