Games like these are only the gateway to the many award winning designer boardgames available that will have you gathered around the table with your family and friends for gamenight.

Mystery of the Abbey is a new kind of "whodunit" game of deduction and intuition, set in a medieval abbey. Players compete and collaborate to solve the mystery by moving through the Abbey's beautifully rendered board and questioning their brethren. Gameplay is in turn fun, captivating and tense; the atmosphere, vivid; the immersion, complete. Constant interactivity between the players, intelligent questioning and dynamic intrigue make Mystery of the Abbey the game of choice for an hour of fun with friends and family alike.

Senji is the contraction of "Sengoku Jidai", which means "the age of the clan wars" in japanese. This boardgame intends to take you many hundreds of years into the past, to the time of medieval Japan. The Emperor is aging and his family is weakened. Each player takes on the role of a Daimyo trying to gain the much-coveted title of Shogun. To do so, he will have to prove his worth and skill by accumulating, over many seasons, honor points, which may be won through military actions, diplomatic dealings or economic trading.

This game has a little bit of everything as mentioned above. From card set collection, military actions, trading, negotion and diplomacy.

 

Contact me if you would like me to demo this game at your next game night. Plays best with six players.
