Todays Road to SPIEL 2026 preview is actually going to be just that, a game that you will be able to preview at the show as while it’s being shown off at Essen and play the game, you won’t actually be able to purchase a copy until next year.
Salt & Pepper Games had planned to launch their crowdfunding campaign for The Book Women on Gamefound on 1st October, but that date has now moved until 1st December. So SPIEL Essen 2026 will provide an opportunity to play the game well before crowdfunding begins.
Designed by David Bernal and Eugeni Castano, with artwork by Amelia Sales, The Book Women is a medium-weight Eurogame based on the real women who carried books on horseback through the mountains of eastern Kentucky during the Great Depresssion.
Between 1935 and 1943, the Pack Horse Library Project employed local women, and a smaller number of men, to take books, magazines, and other reading material into isolated Appalachian communities that had little or no access to conventional libraries.
Riders travelled difficult mountain routes on horses and mules, delivering material to homes and schools. At its height, around 30 pack-horse libraries were serving around 100,000 people!
The Book Women puts 1-4 players into the saddles of those librarians.
Across three rounds you’ll travel through kentucky, deliver books to remote households, establish community libraries, support local families, and record your experiences in a personal journal.
I’d not heard of this before and really liked the idea, and it’s an interesting idea to turn into a game, so immediately caught my attenion.
At the heart of the Book Women is a combination of dice-drafting, route optimisation, resource management and engine building.
Each turn, players select a die from a shared pool. Both its colour and value determine the resources and actions it provides before the die is placed to generate further effects. Those actions help you travel across a modular Appalachian map, make deliveries, construct libraries, and gain support from local authorities.
But there’s another system developing alongside the map.
Each librarian has a personal journal board built around a rondel. New tiles can be added to this rondel during play, improving future actions and gradually creating an engine tailored to the routes and objectives you’re pursuing.
After three rounds, points come from completed rondel sections, deliveries, libraries, objectives, rewards, and personal achievements.
So while the theme is about taking books into isolated communities, the puzzle appears to be about making every journey work harder, improving your librarian while expanding the network that allows you to reach further into the mountains.

Historical games aren’t unusual, even historical games about libraries exist. But I’d never heard of these horse back librarians before this game, and find the idea really appealing.
Salt & Pepper Games have been developing an interesting line of historically grounded titles, and the Book Women may be one of their most distinctive subjects yet. The publisher describes it as an attempt to highlight the determination and impact of the women who brought education and reading material to places where access had previously been extremely difficult.
It also gives us a novel subject to cover on ourRoad to SPIEL, as there will be plenty of games at Essen about conquering kingdoms, running industrial empires, and building yet another railway network.
There won’’t be many about somebody putting books into saddlebags and riding into the mountains because people wanted something to read.
The Book Women will be available to demo at SPIEL Essen, rather than purchase, ahead of its crowdfunding campaign and planned 2027 release.
Salt & Pepper Games will be showing the game at Hall 3, Stand A400. The current SPIEL preview lists an English/Spanish edition, for 1-4 players ages 12+, with a playing time of around 60-120 minutes.
The Gamefound campaign is now scheduled to launch on 1st December 2026, and you can sign up to follow it on the campaigns preview page.

KANO offers us another option: collect the right pots of paint and hope gravity doesn’t ruin everything.
Published by Matagot, KANO is a colourful pattern-building game from designers Pablo Jimenez (Kai-Zen, NIJI) and Angel Pintero, with hand-painted illustrations by Kyoto-based artist Jun Sato. Players compete to create their own emakimono (traditional Japanese illustrated handscrolls) and earn recognition as a master of the Kano school.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/AQVOIIzIsp-gs5aGjrn-N-3iw5s%3D/563x401/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/393ff42f-4074-4a5a-8125-a339e7268ef8/images/kano3.jpg\")
Rather than attempting to simulate the actual process of painting, KANO has turned the process of artistic composition into a spatial puzzle.
Players collect coloured paint pots from a shared palette and place them onto their individual boards. Arrange those colours into the correct combinations and they can be transformed into artwork tiles, gradually replacing raw pigments with sections of a completed scroll.
The inspiration comes from the centuries-old Kano school of Japanese painting, but the game itself falls very much into the accessible abstract-strategu territory which has proven very popular. Recognise the pattern you need, manipulate the available colours, wokr out how to fit everything together, and hope nobody else does it first.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/s69XtwpqMJCi0csATWcNHTRkt0Q%3D/563x375/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/393ff42f-4074-4a5a-8125-a339e7268ef8/images/kano6.jpg\")
Each turn begins with the shared palette. Before collecting paint you can swap two adjacent pots, giving you a limited ability to manipulate what is available. You then take at least one pot, potentially collecting several provided they are the same colour and connected i a straight row or column.
Then you place them on to your scroll. But pots obey gravity. When added to your board they fall to the lowest available space in their chosen column, so you can’t simply put the colours wherever they are needed. You’re effectively constructing patterns from the bottom upwards while tyrying to anticipate which pigments you’ll be able to acquire later.
Complete the right arrangement and the paint pots are removed and replaced by an Artwork Tile. Larger works earn more prestige, while secret Masterpiece cards offer valuable personal objectives. Shared red and white goal sheets provide additional targets that can change from game to game.
There is also a limit to your artistic clutter. If you finish a turn with more than four visible paint pots then the excess become Cloud Tiles, spaces which are now occupied but score you no points.
So try and keep your art studio tidy!
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/iq_uxnnm0vSCVTVbPC3gOYO2DYw%3D/563x375/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/393ff42f-4074-4a5a-8125-a339e7268ef8/images/kano5.jpg\")
KANO looks like a game where the rules are relatively easy to explain but the resulting puzzle created by them is going to be considerably trickier.
The combination of a shared supply, limited manipulation and gravity means you’re not onlu collecting the colours you need but you’re also having to consider where they;ll land, what patterns remain possible, and whether taking a group of pots leaves something particularly useful for the next player..
I can just imagine what my game group will say if/when KANO makes it way to our table, as I have a bit of a reputation with abstract strategy pattern builders. I love them and the others always take great pleasure if they beat me at one.
KANO also looks like an exceptionally attractive game. Jun Sato’s artwork gives the finished scrolls much more personality than a colelction of abstract scoring tiles, while the physical paint pots look great and reinforce the theme and what the players are supposed to be creating.
Also, at around 35 minutes, the game occupies a useful space for games night: substantial enough to offer a real puzzle without requiring several hours and an emergency supply of sandwiches.

KANO is actually getting a general release before SPIEL, with Matagot and Asmodee currently listing the game for a 16th October 2026 retail release. So this is one you don’t have to travel to Germany to get or, if you are heading to the show, you can buy it before you go and free up some of that luggage space for another title unique to SPIEL this year.
Matagot will be showcasing KANO at the IPA are in Hall 3, Stand F120/F110, where the game will also be available to purchase, or collection for those who have placed advance orders.
The edition is available in English and French with a MSRP of €35.
SPIEL Essen runs from 22nd-25th October 2026.

Tomorrow on Road to SPIEL 2026: MicroMacro Kids 2: Wild Wild Weekend - the enormous search-and-find city returns with another collection of mysteries designed specifically for younger detectives.
One hundred years after the death of Antoni Gaudi, Devir is heading to SPIEL Essen with a board game devoted to the life, ideas and extraordinary works of the Catalan architect and, rather appropriately, it involves building things from broken pieces.
Gaudi, designed by Dani Garcia (Arborea, Windmill Valley, Barcelona) and illusstrated by Edu Vallis (Bitoku, Terminus, Redwood), is a 1-4 player strategy game in which players explore the three influences central to Gaudi’s work : Nature, Catalonia, and Religion.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/_4sVnwJyl8CPn7iTDvjbpbMb0Cg%3D/563x565/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/39c84de8-d09e-420a-9dcd-78ef5bcdb951/images/gaudi2.jpg\")
Gaudi’s buildings, which include the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila and Park Guell - are all instantly recognisable for their organic forms, unusual structures, and remarkable decorative details. Rather than asking players to construct these buildings, Gaudi concentrates on the influences behind them.
Across three rounds players develop the three pillars of Nature, Catalonia and Religion, collecting cards and pieces of trencadis, the mosiac technique Gaudi famously used to cover curved surfaces with fragments of broken ceramic and tile. Those fragments are arranged as patterns on indivdual player boards, with each pillar awarding VP differently.
Specialising too heavily is dangerous though, as at the end of the game only your two lowest scores across the three pillars are used towards victory.So if you neglect one, but excel in another, you may find yourself out of luck at the final tally.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/FYpGw9GmvQ-wfvp3FfX4QkOA7Qw%3D/563x563/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/39c84de8-d09e-420a-9dcd-78ef5bcdb951/images/gaudi3.jpg\")
At the centre of Gaudi is a large chandelier, around which the players move during each of the game’s three rounds.
Where you choose to stop determines which actions are available, principally gaining cards and collecting different varieties of trencadis pieces. These resources allow you to play cards, create mosiacs, and advance along the chimneys on your personal board. A round ends once everyone has completed a full circuit of the chandelier.
Each of the three scoring pillars work differently.
Nature tends to rewards you as its cards are played, Catalonia scores primarily at the end of rounds, while Religion provides most of its scoring at the end of the game. That makes balancing more complicated than simply trying to keep three markers close together, as you’re simultaneously dealing with three different scoring rhythms, some of which you won’t ultimately know until later in the game.
Once the game finished, and you have tallied up the scoring for each one, you then remove the highest of the three, only using the combined scores of your weeakest two areas to see how successful you have been.
Gaudi famously disliked straight lines and it seems Dani Garci has similar feelings about straightforward scoring.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/g3olZ1x3crNUDDLrfxneq-1fhlI%3D/563x420/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/39c84de8-d09e-420a-9dcd-78ef5bcdb951/images/gaudi2-1.jpg\")
Devir are treating Gaudi as a major release, describing it as one of the games headlining its SPIEL Essen 2026 line-up, and it certainly sounds like a game we’d enjoy.
Designer Dani Garcia has a good track record with medium-to-heavy Euros, and the mechanics appear to have been designed around the subject matter as opposed to the subject being merely overlaid when looking for a theme to use.
A Eurogame about an architect could have easily become a game about gathering stone and constructing buildings, so making it instead about the ideas that shaped those buildings is a lot more interesting.
Edu Valis also seems a very good choice as artist, especially for a game in which visual identity matters so much.
Also making the trencadis more than decorative, with players physically collecting the irregular pieces and arranging their own mosiacs, alongside the games central movement mechanic using a decorative chandelier and the players boards drawing their appearances from Modernist rooftops and chimneys are lovely touches and also visually very appealing.

As opposed to liberating France, fighting in the hedgerows, or tank warfare on the Eastern Front, Medic! turns its attention to a different part of the Second World War - the work of treating wounded soldiers.
Described as a solitaire card game of “triage and treatment”, the game sees you take on the role of a medic on the European battlefield, where the central challenge is care under pressure. Medic! propels the people treating the wounded to the forefront who are, often in wargames, either completely overlooked or, at best, supporting characters.
Though rare, there has been the occasional game that has dealt with combat medics in the past as the central theme. Field Hospital, first published in 2010 by Diamond K Games, was a competitive dice selection game set in the Korean War, in which players gather scarce medical supplied and treat patients before their wounds prove fatal. Casting the net wider there are a few more games that deal with medics in disaster zones, such as the 2016 solitaire game After the Disaster: Triage which is set in the aftermath of an earthquake, or the more recent 2021 We Care: A Grizzled Game by BoardM Factory/CMON which dealt with hospitals being overwhelmed by a global pandemic - part of the proceeds of the games sales went to healthcare NGO’s fighting Covid-19 at the time.
The Western Front is the main focus for DVG’s Medic!, where you take on the role of an US Army Combat Medic deployed to the heart of battle, armed with only your surgical kit and raw courage. The main game comes with ten historical scenarios ranging from the arid heights of Tunisia to struggles on the Western Front. The Kickstarter campaign is also offering three expansion packs…

Medic! Airbrone Division: Introduces the chaos, isolation, and adrenaline of vertical envelopment. Emulating the historic drops of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions during D-Day, Operation Market Garden, and Operation Varsity, this expansion strips the Medic of their reliable starting gear, forcing them to brave enemy patrols to recover scattered supply crates while treating casualties under the cover of darkness.

Medic! The Forgotten Front: Gothic Line brings players to the rugged, mud-slicked Apennine Mountains of Italy (1944-45). Medics face a multinational theater featuring American, British, Brazilian (FEB), and Italian Partisan forces.

Medic! Urban Front: Civilians in the Crossfire thrusts players into the brutal, block-by-block siege wwarfare of ruined European cities like Aachen, Caen, and Ortona. This expansion introduces a profound moral dimension to the core gameplay loop. Medics are no longer just managing military triage; they must now brave falling rubble and disrupted supply lines to treat local populations trapped in the ruins, where a failure of ethics can cost you the mission.

Ravaged by Storms from Golem Productions is a 72-page campaign that demonstrates that the game’s rules can support longer-form adventures without sacrificing the fast, chaotic energy that defines the system. Staying true to the OSR Sandbox principle rather than presenting a linear storyline, the book drops players into the Death Wind Islands, an archipelago wracked by supernatural storms, competing factions, ancient myths, and the looming presence of a colossal feathered serpent. The result is a campaign that feels alive from the moment the crew makes landfall.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/hJ86PrAD3UGaW1f77zqJw4KWS50%3D/563x451/smart/filters:format(webp)/review/efb9b7f0-bc3a-4211-90ba-206196ea3d4f/images/1-karte-gesamt-mockup.png\")
The setting itself is a wonderfully evocative blending of Caribbean-inspired piracy with Mesoamerican mythology, to create an atmosphere that feels distinct from the more traditional pirate adventures. Ancient ruins, cursed jungles, forgotten temples, and relentless tropical storms all contribute to a sense of mystery and impending doom. The mythical Coatl looming over the campaign gives everything an epic scale without overshadowing the players’ own choices.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/0MJMj6AHyveGQhIwxfIfmVCthqk%3D/563x451/smart/filters:format(webp)/review/efb9b7f0-bc3a-4211-90ba-206196ea3d4f/images/2-background-infos-mood-basics-mockup.png\")
Locations and Characters are concise yet flavourful, packed with adventrue hooks rather than walls of exposition (a key approach all the Mork Borg games take). The campaign offers a toolkit rather than a script, making preparation manageable while still providing plenty of material for extended play. Procedures for travl, rumours, faction activity, and weather ensure that the world and story feel like they are advancing, even when the players decide to pursue unexpected goals. The multiple factions each poursue their own goals, while random encounters, travel tables, and evolving events ensure that no two campaigns will unfold the same way. This open-ended structure perfectly complements Pirate Borg’s old-school philosophy of player actions driving storytelling.

Visually, the production quality is equally impressive and ties in well with the core rulebook from Limithron. The original artwork, maps, and layout reinforce the dark atmosphere and windswept isles, while remianing highly readable during play. The illustrations do mroe than decorate the pages - they actively inspire encounters and help sell the feeling of exploring a forgotten world on the edge of civilisation.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/hFnCQ1eUIV8FfTzRqsuJvc9uY64%3D/563x451/smart/filters:format(webp)/review/efb9b7f0-bc3a-4211-90ba-206196ea3d4f/images/11-fraktion-mockup.png\")
One of the book’s greaest strengths is its commitment to meaningful player agency. Instead of guiding characters from one encounter to the next, Ravaged by Storms provides a dynamic environment where exploration, alliances, and risk-taking naturally create memorable stories. This is conversely the potential biggest flaw of the book - the sandbox approach expects a proactive group. Players accustomed to tightly scripted adventures may initially struggle with the freedom on offer, and Game Masters who prefer heavily plotted campaigns will need to embrace improvisation. However, this is less of a flaw than a design choice that aligns perfectly with the OSR philosophy.

Overall, Ravaged by Storms is a strong third-party release for Pirate Borg. Its combinations of memorable locations, dynamic factions, mythic atmosphere, and excellent GM support creates a campaign that rewards exploration and player creativity in equal measure. Whether you’re looking for a five-session expedition or a sprawling pirate saga, this adventure provides everything needed to unleash a memorable voyage across haunted seas. For fans of Pirate Borg, this is an easy recommendation for any collection.

Need a wound treated, some blood let, or possible an entire limb removed? … yep, apparently still see the barber!
Medico, the latest game from prolific German designer Stefan Feld, takes us back to medieval Europe when travelling barber-surgeons handled a surprisingly broad range of medical duties.
Published by Hall Games and Pegasus Spiele, with artwork from longtime Feld collaborator Dennis Lobausen, Medico is a 2-4 playe strategy game about travelling from town to town, developing your skills and building enough knowledge and reputation to become a respected physician.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/-JHnusQJ9FBUamd2VC6zdKxLPpI%3D/563x795/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/bbbf304f-1218-4812-80cf-2dc394d19c97/images/medico3.jpg\")
Players begin with modest skills and plenty to learn. During your travels you’ll collect rare remedies to sell at markets, deliver letters for the Church, search monastic libraries for medical recipes, acquire instruments and arrange training for your apprentices at bathhouses. You can also treat important local figures and, if you’re fortunate, encounter an established Medicus willing to share some of his knowledge.
Success depends on deciding which opportunities are worth pursuing and how efficiently you can fit them into a very limited number of journeys.
In other words, Medico is less about individual medical procedures than about building a career. Which, given medieval medicine, may be reassuring.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/KCmASL2QqF31sw-wH_YnxsHbFjU%3D/563x317/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/bbbf304f-1218-4812-80cf-2dc394d19c97/images/medico2.jpg\")
At the heart of Medico is route planning combined with simutaneous action selection.
At the beginning of each round, every player secretly chooses one of seven destinations. When your turn arrives, you reveal where you’re travelling and move towards it. The destination provides your main action, but getting there is just as important.
Along the route are waypoints offering secondary actions, so choosing where to travel becomes a question of not only what you want to do when you arrive, but what useful opportunities you canpick up along the way… and you don’t have much time.
Depending on the player count, the game lasts only eight of nine rounds, making every journey significant. By the end, players compare their achievements across areas including medical recipes, instruments, apprentices and other measures of professional development.

The simple and obvious answer is Stefan Feld.
Designer of games including The Castles of Burgundy, Trajan, Bora Bora, Notre Dame, and Civolution, Feld remains one of the most recognisable names in modern Eurogame design. Medico is also his fourth collaboration with Hall Games, Dennis Lohausen and editor Ralph Bruhn, following earlier titles Luna, AquaSphere and Bonfire.
The mechanisms are also of an interest. and also quite Feld-like, limited time, multiple scoring opportunites, and the persistent suspicion that whatever you choose to do, there are probably atleast three other things you really should have done instead.
A medieval medical career simulator might not immediately sound like the most obvious or interest crowd pleasser, but one thing I’ve learnt over almost 40 years of playing German boardgames is that subject matter rarely really matters and the mechanics make or break the game and determine it’s replayability. The idea of playing a barber-surgeon is certainly a more interesting idea and theme than some of the games I’ve played over the years - I always remember people being amazed there was a game about potato farming (Dicke Karoffeln published by Abacus Spiele in 1989).
Hall Games don’t have a stand at SPIEL this year, but Pegasus Spiele do and that’s where you will be able to find copies of Medico. Pegasus usually have more than one stand at the show, but the game should be available on their main stand in Hall 3, Stand M120. The game is available in English, with a retail price of €59.99, and should be available through retail shortly after SPIEL finishes.
SPIEL Essen runs from 22nd-25th October 2026.

Each round the advancing knight lays out a sequence of cards and uses tactics to gain ground. Their opponent tries to predict, counter, and bluff their way to defend themselves and land a parry, reversing the roles and turning defence into an attack. The duel ultimately rewards the knight who forces their rival out of the arena or gains the most ground. The rules are simple but surprisingly hold strategic depth. Games last around 10-20 minutes and are recommended for ages 14+.

"content_html": "Catherine the Great is coming. Unfortunately, the countryside she’s about to inspect isn’t nearly prosperous enough, and there is only one sensible solution: dismantle the nice-looking villages, move them further down the river and rebuild them before the Empress arrives!
…and preferably without her noticing.
Potemkin Villages, from Czech publisher ALBI, is a fully cooperative trick-taking game designed by Petr Caslava with artwork by Ekaterina Bystron, for 1-4 players. The game, which takes around 30 minutes to play, takes on one of history’s more infamous stories of political stagecraft and turns it into a compact card game.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/iFKXpIgK2zx0fni_NN5FAbdLyaw%3D/563x788/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/4e23f113-2062-4a73-b6bd-35117e3998f5/images/potemkin-villages3.jpg\")
The game is inspired by Catherine the Great’s journey to Crimea in 1787 and the famous legend surrounding her governer, Prince Grigory Potemkin.
According to the story, Potemkin construction impressive-looking facades along the Dnieper River to persuade Catherine that the twrritory was a lot more prosperous than it actually was. The truth of the tale has long been disputed, with historians generally regarding the mos elaborate versions of it as exaggerated, but the expression “Potemkin village” survived down the centuries and is used today as shorthand for an impressive facade disguising a much less impressive reality.
Needless to say, this game enthusiastically embraces the legend.
Players become members of Potemkin’s entourahe, desperately dismantling, relocating, and rebuilding villages as Catherine travels along the river, and your object is simple : Keep the illusion intact until she reaches the end.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/jYHV9aRBAdzbSnLVR5Lq7WWIuEg%3D/563x563/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/4e23f113-2062-4a73-b6bd-35117e3998f5/images/potemkin-villages1.jpg\")
Potemkin Villages is a cooperative trick-taking game with asymmetric player powers.
Each player controls a different character, and winning a trick activates that character’s special ability. This results in careful consideration as it won’t be in your best interest to win a trick every turn, and the group needs to try and work out which players character is best placed to carry out the next action.
The Builder, for instance, is responsible for dismantling and reconstructing villages. The Painter can shift trumps to aid allies, while the Governor can amplify the Builder’s strength. Getting the combination right allows the thr group to keep reshaping the landscape ahead of Catherine’s progress , and keeps her none the wiser.
Eventually the cards will run out and, if Catherine can still look across the river and see convincing prosperity, everyone wins!
If she, however, sees through the deception, then everyone loses and, presumably, Pokemkin starts updating his CV.

Cooperative trick-taking games have become pretty popular in recent years, with games such as The Crew even winning the coveted Kennerspiel des Jahres in 2020.
Potemkin Villages theme is a great match to the play style, with evryone participaing to uphold the same decption, but with individual characters needed to win specific tricks at specific times for the whole scheme to work.
The game also came third in BoardGameGeek’s 2025 54-Card Game Design Contest, and at around half an hour playtime is an ideal sort of smaller game for kicking off, or filling in at the end, of game nights.
ALBI has said that this years SPIEL is going to see the companies largest ever presence at the show, and Potemkin Villages is a big part of that. ALBI has two stands, one in Hall 4, D400 and other in Hall 6, E110, with Potemkin Villages finding its home at the Hall 4 stand.
ALBI is taking advance reservatuions for some of their English and German language games for collection at the show. The English retail release of Potemkin Villages is expected to take place in mid-November,
SPIEL Essen runs from 22nd-25th October 2026.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game brings Warhorse Studios’ historical video game series to the tabletop, but rather than casting players as great warriors or powerful nobles, everyone begins as an unremarkable medieval villager with little more than the clothes they’re wearing. Where you go from there is largely up to you.
Published by Czech Games Edition, the game is the first collaboration between Vlaada Chvatil (Through the Ages, Mage Knight, Codenames) and Tomas Holek, whose SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence became one of the big hits of 2024.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a competitive adventure game with plenty of Eurogame elements, set in the historically grounded version of 15th-century Bohemia established by the videogames.
There are no dragons, wizards, or conveniently wandering monsters. Instead, players travel between locations such as Rattay, Sasau, Talmberg, and Skalitz, meet characters, obtain equipment, develop skills and become involved in numerous storylines and side quests.
Players choose one of eight new characters, specifically created for the game, and set off on an open world openworld charting their own course and story.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game is an epic adventure game mixed with euro elements, set in 15th-century Medieval Bohemia. Over the course of several in-game days and nights, players will try to leave their mark, whether by helping the local nobility, making important connections, fighting enemies, or stealing everything from tiny items to horses. While the game is competitive, it doesn’t pit players against one another, but instead allows them to succeed through their own achievements. It uses a deck-building system and emphasizes player freedom, creating narrative through its mechanics. The starting setup may provide some direction, but the game’s open-world nature encourages players to pursue their own goals and shape their stories as they wish.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/DVFGfXjEqE4bGlAL4qRMLXKXxCc%3D/563x563/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/394f3f47-7912-482d-9baf-bf2ff68897e1/images/map-component-renders-kc-prototype-20.png\")
At its heart is a deck-building and multi-use card system.
Your cards represent the abilities your character develops. They can be played to undertake activities such as hunting, fighting, stealing, or gathering herbs, used to overcome tests, or discarded for immediate bonuses. Experience allows you to add new skill cards and gradually shape your character around the things you actually choose to do.
The game unfolds over the course of five in-game days and nights, with players moving around Bohemia purusing their own ambitions.
Ten storylines can be combined between games, alongside numerous side quests, allowing for plenty of replayabaility as each session tells a different story, and then resets so everyone behins again as an ordinary villager.
There is no player-vs-player combat, but characters can meet in the same location and team up to help overcome difficult tests. Ultimately thouggh, everyone is purusing their own story, and their own victory.

The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance video game has sold over 11 million copies, and its 2025 sequel pushed the series to an even larger audience. When this board game was announced earlier this year it got a lot of attention, partially down to the game, partially down to the design team creating it, and partially due to Czech Games pre-order system that they ran instead of a crowdfunder to guarantee fans would receive the game and they could judge print-run and demand to cater for availability without too much risk.
Pairing Vlaada Chvatil’s experience with sprawling narrative heay designs as as the Mage Knight board game,, with Tomas Holek’s recent success producing highly thematic modern Euros is an interesting combo, while I’m personally also interested in seeing the open world aspect of the game, as titles such as Kolossal GamesWestern Legends get a fair amount of play in my group and the freedom to carve your own story and destiny is a favoured subject.
The game is also large, with the box containing more than 700 cards, ten storylines, and over 200 wooden tokens, with Czech Games Edition describing it as the largest and most complicated game it has ever produced.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game will be one of CGE’s headline releases at SPIEL. Preorder collection is available on their stand, which can be found in Hall 3, Stand 3V400, and, whilst CGE warn quantities will be limited, they will also be sold directly at the show whilst stock lasts. The SPIEL piuckup pice is €149.99.
The initial edition is English only, but further languages are planned for 2027. regular retail availability isn’t expected before Q2 2027, making the show one on the only opportunities to get a copy for a while.
SPIEL Essen runs from 22nd-25th October 2026.

Three hours later it struck Antarctica.
Fortunately this didn’t actually happen. It is, however, the starting point for -60° (Sixty Below) and, entirely appropriately, we’re looking at the game exactly 55 years after its fictional meteorite crashed into our planet.
Designed by Alexander Pfister (Great Western Trail, Port Royal, Isle of Skye), and Peter Prinz (Thebes: The Tomb Raiders, Crime Story)-60° sends rival scientific expeditions into an alternate-history Antarctica to establish research stations, explore the frozen continent, and ultimately reach the msyterious meteorite impact site. Published by Nanox Games and dsitributed by dlp games, it supports 1-4 players and has an average play time of two to three hours.

The year is 1971, but history takes a different turn.
Several research teams have landed on the Antarctic coast, each hoping to build the infrastructure necessary to penetrate further into the continent. Players must gather limited resources, establish stations, develop new technologies, undertake scientific projects, and prepare expeditions cabable oif surviving increasingly hostile conditions.
At the centre of everything is the meteorite, and reching it means pushing steadily deeper into explored territory, but -60° isn’t simply a race game. Players need to develop engines capable of supporting the exploration while deciding how much risk they’re prepared to take along the way.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/SvWkNnABYacvNLLKrVvNZcs05-Q%3D/563x317/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/e0fc6676-fa11-4bd2-9691-8ccbbf493e5d/images/60-below3.jpg\")
-60° combines worker placement, deck building, exploration, and push-your-luck across six rounds.
At the beginning of a round, playwers draw from their personal decks one card at a time. Each new card presents a decision: continue pushing for a stronger turn or stop before conditions deteriorate. Storm cards can provide valuable energy, but accumulating too many of them begins suppressing the benefits generated by your other cards.
Then comes the expedition.
Explorers are places on action spaces around Antarctica but, unlike most worker-placement games, they don’t come back. Once an explorer occupies a space it remains there for the rest of the game. Action spaces gradually disappear beneath previous expeditions even as exploration expands the map and reveals entirely new opportunities. Building stations can also create new places to act, so as you develop your own network you may also be opening up possib ilities for your rivals.
So while Antarctica becomes larger as you explore it, your available options start increasingly becoming more limited.

The designers of -60° alone make the game worth watching.
Alexander Pfister’s catalogue includes Great Western Trail, Mombasa, Maracaibo, and Boonlake, while Peter Prinz is probably best known for the archaeological exploration game Thebes. -60° appears to bring together some recognisable elements from both designers, engine building and push-your-luck on one side, exploration and expeditions on the other.
There is already a lot of pre-release interest in the game, with more than 1,200 BoardGameGeek users currently having the game on their wishlists. Peter Prinz has also written a Designer Diary on BoardGameGeek about how the game came to be, which is worth a read.
I also love worker placement games, so -60° ticks that box for me, and am also a big fan of Pfister’s Great Western Trail.

Timespan, from Norwegian publisher Alion - by Dr Ø, is designed by Kenneth Minda and Kristian Amundsen Østby, the duo behind Automania and Bad Company. It’s a civilisation building game for 1-5 players, which deliberately dispenses with warfare and instead concentrates on exploration, technological progress, and constructing an incresaingly powerful economic engine.
Civilisation games don’t generally have a reputation for brevity. Timespan wants to provide much of the satisfaction of guiding a society through thousands of years of development without requiring you to set aside an entire afternoon,
Each player combines one of six asymmetric civilisations with one of six technology boards, which provides quite a lot of variation before the game even begins. Across the game there are more than 175 historical people, buildings, technologies, and wonders available to become part of your developing civilisation.
And nobody needs to invade Belgium to win. There is no warfare in Timespan. Instead success comes through developing culture and science, exploring the world, and creating an efficient civilisation.

The game itself takes place across five rounds, each divided into exploration and action phases.
During exploration, players draft cards and discovery tiles from the current historical age. Cards representing people, technologies and buildings can then be added to your civilisation’s timelime, with population markers used to activate their abilities.
The timeline is particularly interesting because history doesn’t stand still. As new developments enter your civilisation, older cards can eventually be pushed out of the active timeline and into your civilisations past. Luxury goods can also be used to upgrade cards, while progress along the Culture track brings additional population and Wonders and scientific development opens access to unique technologies. Exploration develops too, progressing from ships to aircraftm and eventually to spaceflight.
Large parts of Timespan are played simultaneously, helping the designers keep a game covering thousands of years compact and to its advertised 90-minute playing time.
Trying to produce a civilisation game that accomodates five players and runs in an hour and a half is enough to get our attention by itself, especially as I’ve always been partial to 4X and civilisation games in general.
The absence of warfare in Timespan is interesting. Rather than treating history as a succession of increasingly efficient ways to hit your neighbours with pointier sticks, Timespan concentrates on discovery, technological development and the rise - and eventual passing - of the ideas and people that define a civilisation.
The game has already attracted considerable pre-Essen interest. with more than 1,000 BoardGameGeek users already having added it to their Wishlists, while BGGTV have also included Timespan among its most notable forthcoming games.
Whether it will deliver the feeling of building an entire civilisation in 90 minutes is something we’ll be particularly interested in discovering once the game has been released at Essen.
Alion - by Dr Ø have confirmed they will be in Hall 3 as part of PTS (formerly Matagot & Friends). Timespan is currently available through IPA’s Essen early-access programme, with copies available for collection at the show. IPA lists its Essen sales/pickup location as Hall 3, Stand 3F120.
The game is being published in English. SPIEL Essen runs from 22nd-25th October 2026.

Call of Cthulhu Campaign by Miskatonic Repository / Chaosium
\"It is true, we shall be monsters, cut off from all the world; but on that account we shall be more attached to one another.\"
- Frankenstein, Mary Shelley
Monsters of Gothic fiction roam the streets of London! Are the investigators who pursue them any less monstrous?
Gothic by Gaslight is a four-part campaign for Call of Cthulhu, 7th edition. This campaign celebrates the Gothic horror stories of the Gaslight era, imbuing classic themes and villains with a cosmic horror twist. Players encounter familiar monsters in new ways through an exciting and dangerous campaign in London and the larger United Kingdom.
Players portray investigators haunted by terrible secrets. The investigators are part of the Book Club, a London social club and publisher of penny dreadfuls. The club’s members delve into supernatural danger the Victorian public is not ready to face. The Book Club quickly realizes that the stories of Mr. Hyde, Dr. Frankenstein, Captain Nemo, and Count Dracula are not entirely fictional, and not yet concluded.The four scenarios in Gothic by Gaslight can be played using Classic or Pulp rules, by players of any level of experience. The scenarios, each of which is meant to last one or two sessions, can also be played as one-shots without connecting them into a campaign.

Ace of Aces was a two-player game which recreated a First World War dogfight with two books book and a remarkably clever system of cross-referencing. It’s original Handy Rotary Series put one player in an Allied fighter and the other in a German aircraft, with each receiving a separate ullustrated book showing the battle from the point of view of their own cockpit.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/KIwxBoPk1B-5I-Rqq7Vm3Wa36vI%3D/563x600/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/3e3fc18d-34fc-47ab-aa58-512bbe98a305/images/ace7.jpg\")
Both players began on corresponding pages, each showing where the opposing aircraft currently appeared in relation to them. Along the bottom of the page were possible manoeuvres you could choose to do - turns, slips, dives, stalls, and other aerial moves. Each player secretly chose one and gave their opponent the corresponding page number. The two choices are then cross-referenced, both players turned to the new page which then showed the resulting positions, and gave a new set of options.
Get the other aircraft into your sights and you could open fire, lose sight of them and you have to work out what manoeuvre might bring them back in to sight. The basic rules were very easy, but intermediate and advanced versions adding extra complications such as altitude, ammunition, wind and jammed guns.
The game had no board, no pieces, just one book for each player representing their aircraft, with the player choices and the pictures in the book taking you through the resulting battle. The mixture of immediacy and hidden simultaneous movement helped make Ace of Aces a popular design, and as with any popular design that meant expansions and spinoffs.
Nova followed the original Handy Rotary set with Powerhouse, then Flying Machines in 1983 abnd Balloon Buster in 1985. A boxed Handy Rotary Deluxe Edition appeared in 1986, and then brought World War II into the mix with the release of Wingleader in 1988, while 1990’s Jet Eagles tackled modern jet combat.
Perhaps even better known, and more popular, than the historical Ace of Aces was Leonardi’s Lost Worlds, a fantasy combat series using the same system which was first published by Nova in 1983.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/zQAcgJZjZnzykbYZFc61p-I0_fY%3D/563x886/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/3e3fc18d-34fc-47ab-aa58-512bbe98a305/images/ace2.jpg\")
Rather than flying airplanes players chose fighters, monsters, and other fantasy characters to fight one-on-one battles using illustrated combat books. Lost Worlds wasn’t simply a carbon copy replacing biplanes with Lizardmen and Knights, Leonardi played with the mechanics, keeping the combat-picture-book design but tinkering with some of the rules. This wasn’t the first time the rules had been tinkered with either, as Nova had experimented with the concept in the western gunfight game Bounty Hunter.
Each player chose a character and then handed their character to the other player, so you would be hlding your oponents book but see the fight from your characters perspective. The first batch of titles from 1983 included quite generic titles such as Man in Chainmail with Sword and Shield, Skeleton with Scimitar and Shield, Hill Troll with Club and Dwarf in Chainmail with Two-handed Ax. Yearly releases from Nova followed, including Unicorn (1985), Woman with Quarterstaff (1985), and Manticore (1987). Nova Game Designs publised a total of 24 Lost Worlds books between 1983 and 1991.

Lost Worlds has subsequently been picked up by a number of publishers over the years. Chessex published four titles in 1995, whilst Flying Buffalo used the system for seven Tunnels & Trolls branded books over 1995-96, and returned to the system in 2003 and 2003 for four licensed books using characters from the Knights of the Dinner Table comic. Flying Buffalo also produced a range of five titles between 2003 and 2008 which used photographs instead of the conventional illustrated character represetations. They also offer a custome made service, called Be Your Own Lost Worlds Character, which offered fans the opportunity to turn themselves in to a gamebook character by supplying the photgraphs which Flying Buffalo would then use to create a one-of-a-kind Lost Worlds title.
Shadis Magazine #28 actually included two complete Lost Worlds characters in their gaming magazine, while in 2004 1% Inspiration Games published four new titles, including Gunslinger with Whip and Pistol and Bitra, the Man-Spider.

But, the single biggest publisher of English-language Lost Worlds titles was a company called Greysea who produced 23 new titles in 1997, which included Zombies and Dinosaurs alongside more traditional fantasy characters, as well as a Design Your Own Character book which allowed you to create and draw your own personalised character.
In total there were 73 English language books, not counting who knows how many titles from Flying Buffalo’s Be Your Own Lost Worlds Character promotion.
While Lost Worlds then faded from English-language store shelves in the 2000’s, a licensed version of the game was beginning to take off in a big way elsewhere.
The game, as Alphaville sang back in the 80’s, was becoming Big in Japan.

Hobby Japan officially licensed the Lost Worlds system and used it, initially, for their Queen’s Blade range which consisted of 19 titles between 2005-2009. The game was so successful that a sequel, Queen’s Gate followed wth another 19 books between 2007-2012, and then Queen’s Blade Rebellion (13 titles, 2008-2014), and Queen’s Blade Grimoire (10 titles, 2012-2016), aking a total of 61 new books in the series, which have never been seen in English.
Back in the English language, the concept wasn’t only confined to Lost Worlds but was reaching out to New Worlds. Back in 1987 Nova published the six-book licensed series BattleTech Science Fiction Combat Book Game, which allowed players to fight one-on-one battles between BattleMechs. Other variations also appeared, such as an Ace of Aces style Dragonriders of Pern game involving aerial battles, while West End Games took the concept to a galaxy far, far away with the 1989 game Starfighter Battle Book: X-wing vs TIE Interceptor in addition to their Lightsaber Dueling game featuring Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader books.

In 2024 Ace of Aces returned through a successful Kickstarter campaign by Mr. B. Games. 3,247 backers pledged $189,374, far exceeding the original $15,000 target, for the Ace of Aces: Powerhouse Series Deluxe Edition. The new edition retained the original games book-based system but replaed the old presentation with larger books and new full-colour artwork.

Now Mr. B. Games have returned to Kickstarter with Ace of Aces: Handy Rotary & Flying Machines Deluxe Editions, continuing the reprint programme with the next two classic sets. The campaign brings back both the books in the new Deluxe format, with them being fully compatible with the recently released Powerhouse edition.
Appetite for the game has clearly not disappeared. At the time of writing this, on 17th September, the new campaign has already passed it’s $50,000 target, attracting more then 850 backers and $100,000 in its opening days. The campaign is scheduled to run until Thursday 8th October 2026.
More than four decades after its debut the old air-combat game is receiving a prettier reprint, and as a game the two little books still do the job remarkably well.

Founded in 1996, Gripping Beast has spent three decades building a catalogue of more than 6,000 historical and fantasy miniatures. Along the way the company also took over the Front Rank and Lurkio ranges, while also hosting ranges from companies including Calpe Miniatures and Ragnarok Miniatures.

The reason for the decision to close or sell isn’t a financial one. Gripping Beast says its team has been reduced by recent retirements and that those remaining are, in the company’s characteristically understated words, “not getting any younger”. As such the intention is to close Beast Towers, but the team are hoping this is not necessarily the end of Gripping Beast itself.

The company is actively looking for somebody interested in taking over the business, including its extensive miniature ranges and established international custoemr base. Whether a buyer emerges remains uncertain, and Gripping Beast says further information will be released as plans develop.

For the moment the Gripping Beast online shop remains open and orders are still being accepted and fulfilled. There is no confirmed final ordering date, although customers are being warned that production is now being kept to a minimum and dispatch may therefore take a little longer than usual. They have also said that there will not be a closing down sale.

The deal brings Wargames Illustrated into the same ownership group as Wayland Games, Warcradle Studios, Occam Distribution, Kraken Wargames, Battle FoamandOnTableTop. Wyld says it intends to use its commercial, retail and distribution infrastructure to expand the magazine’s audience and develop its digital subscription offering.
This is the third acquisition Wyld Holdings has made this year, after buying Kraken Wargames in March and US based Battle Foamthis summer.
It is the third change of ownership for the magazine in a history stretching back to the 1980s.

Wargames Illustrated was created by Duncan Macfarlane, already an important figure in the British miniature wargaming scene through his earlier editorship of Miniature Wargames magazine.
The first issue was produced in the summer of 1987, with a cover date of September 1987, with Macfarlane also taking on editorial duties of the magazine he also owned. The combination of range and substance of articles and often ambitious photography quickly became part of the magazines identity, with the opening issue including everything from Anglo-Zulu War material and Renaissance fortifications to American War of Independence rules.
Macfarlane placed particular emphasis on showing miniature wargames at its best. he photographed collections and games using professional lighting and large-format cameras at a time when getting high-quality colour phographs of tabletop miniatures into print was considerably harder than it is today.
Macfarlane was not only owner, editor, and photographer of the magazine but frequently delivered the magazine to many stores by hand. He was a regular sight at Leisure Games, where I was working at the time, coming in with a stack of the latest issue while he was doing the rounds of London-based game and hobby stores.

Macfarlane remained in charged for more than two decades before selling Wargames Illustrated to New Zeland-based Battlefront Miniatures, publisher of Flames of War, in January 2009.
Macfarlane’s connection with the magazine remained, as he continued contributing photography, and later proofreading, while Dan Faulconbridge (who had joined Wargames Illustarted around issue 200) became increasingly more central to running the publication.
On 1st April 2015, ownership changed again when Faulconbridge took sole control of Wargames Illustrated Ltd. Whilst the magazine initially still remained closely conected with Battlefront, with the magazine renting space in Battlefront’s UK office and Battlefront continuing to distribute the magazine, Wargames Illustrated was once again independently owned.

Macfarlane remained involved even after the second change of ownership, regularly proofreading the magazine he had founded three decades before. Sadly he died suddenly, but peacefully, on 28th May 2021 aged 73.
![\"\"](\"https://cdn.tabletopsentinel.com/dve1E3Vr0ESp5867uxJlmDKPbUc%3D/563x428/smart/filters:format(webp)/socialpost/c71d242a-08b8-4540-900f-833fe0520d78/images/wargames-illustrated-7.jpg\")
Writing shortly afterwards, Faulconbridge described Macfarlane as the magazine’s “founding father”. By that point Wargames Illustrated had reached more than 400 issuees and had survived enormous changes in both wargaming and publishing, from an era dominated by print magazines, mail order and physical shows to one of YouTube, social media, PDFs and online retail.
Wyld CEO Richard Lawford said…
By bringing the iconic Wargames Illustrated into our group, we are committed to broadening its appeal to an even larger global audience, pushing the boundaries of both content and the digital subscription service.
Faulconbridge described joining the group as allowing the magazine team to concentrate mroe heavily on creating the publication while making use of Wyld’s retail and distribution operation.
There is also an editorial change accompanying the acquisition. Industry veteran Lyle Lowery, whose previous credits include White Dwarf at Games Workshop and No Quarter at Privateer Press, has been named incoming Editor-in-Chief.

They are joined by two new Apache sets. Apaches 1 contain four 32mm resin minatures, supplied unpainted with 25mm slotta bases, while Apaches 2 adds another four figures, described by Black Scorpion as resin-printed miniatures and likewise supplied with 25mm bases. Both sets are priced at £10 each in their store, or available as part of the monthly Black Scorpion Archive subscription program, giving players eight new figures with which to build, or expand, a Native force.

The miniatures are designed for Black Scorpion’s own Tombstone Old West skirmish game. Originally launched through Kickstarter in 2017, the 130-page game grew out of the company’s existing Western miniature range and was accompanied by more than 110 new miniatures. The rules support Lawmen, Outlaws, Mexicans, Native Americas, the 7th Cavalry, and even Undead, meaning games can range from relatively traditional Western shoot-outs to much more fantastical frontier encounters.
Tombstone uses an action-point system rather than a conventional fixed-turn structure, with characters rated using dice ranging from d4 to d20. The rules cover mounted characters and horses and include scenarios for bank robberies, kidnappings, raids, shoot-outs, and quick-draw contests. Black Scorpion recommends a scenery heavy tabletop filled with buildings, crates, and cover to produce suitably cinematic gunfights.

The complete rules are available as both a printed book and a downloadable PDF, with PDF editions available in English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.
Black Scorpion Miniatures were founded in September 2005 by sculptor Adam Clarke, who previously worked as a miniature sculptor for Games Workshop and has also worked for companies including Privateer Press and Reaper. Based in Devon, in south-west England, the company has spent more than two decades producing characterful 32mm miniatures, with ranges covering the Old West, pirates, fantasy, and other settings.
The latest batch of releases continue a Tombstone range that Black Scorpion have supported for almost a decade. Proof that there are still plenty of gunfights left in this particular corner of the Wild West.

It’s a ‘Two Parter’ this week! Due to the number of campaigns that launched we decided to split the column in two to avoid a never ending scrolling feat of endurance! The first part covers tabletop roleplaying games, dice, and other projects of interest, while the second part covers board & card games, wargames, and miniatures.
Every week in Crowdfund Quest Weekly we’ll be listing a whole bunch of new tabletop gaming and miniature campaigns that have launched over the last seven days, providing links to their campaign pages.
Whilst we sadly can’t include every launch – there are hundreds each week – we’ll do our best to try and find campaigns that will hopefully interest you!
