Exciting gifts at a reasonable price
Board games are an expensive hobby — myth or truth? When we enter a board game store, we first see the largest game boxes, costing tens or sometimes even hundreds of euros. However, that doesn't mean it's impossible to buy exciting board games at a reasonable price.
Cheaper games are usually found in smaller boxes, but a smaller box doesn't necessarily mean there's less "game" inside.
Card games
Undoubtedly, the widest selection at a reasonable price is on the card game shelf. Most of these games cost just over ten euros, and they often contain more than a hundred cards specially created for that game.
The most popular card games are “Karakum”, “Saboteur”, “6. Take!”, “The Mind”, “Ligretto”, “Black stories”, “Similo”, “Bohnanza” and “Game of Trains”. All these games are perfectly suited for various life situations. If I had to single out one game, it would definitely be the 2023 game "Karakum", which is produced right here in Latvia and has become one of the best-selling games in our stores.
In "Karakum", players collect resources, which they exchange for camels, from which they form a caravan. But there's a catch - each subsequent camel can only have the same value or color as the previous one. An exciting game that has been highly praised by buyers across the Baltics!
If you're looking for lesser-known card games, it's definitely worth checking out our latest new arrivals. In the number guessing game “Deductio”, players will try to guess other players' hidden numbers, gradually revealing more and more information about their own number. A game with very simple rules, but it will also make strategic thinkers ponder.
Families with younger players will enjoy the magical creature game “Zing-a-Zam”, but for fans of intrigue, we recommend “Carnival”, where players can play cards not only in front of themselves and in the middle of the table, but also in front of other players to disrupt their plans.
Two strategic fleet commanders can embark on conquering the mystical “Eridanos” islands, while those who want to chat in a larger company will enjoy “Mimic Octopus”.
Escape adventure in a box
Also, the so-called escape room in a box, the “EXIT” series games, are available for less than 20 euros. These games are escape room simulators where you'll have to solve various puzzles to escape from the Abandoned Cabin, the Pharaoh's Tomb, and the Tunnel of Horrors.
“EXIT” games have different themes and difficulty levels, but they all have one thing in common — a fun evening is guaranteed!
Roll and write games
One of the most popular game categories at a reasonable price is roll and write type games. Both “Clever” and “Railroad Ink” will cost less than 20 euros, but they are excellently suited for both four players and a single player.
In "Clever" you'll try to score points by filling in different values with different colored dice, while in "Railroad Ink" you'll plan road and railway routes in your small town.
Moreover, if you're looking for a small gift for someone who already owns these games, it's worth checking out some of the small expansions. For the "Clever" series games, new notepads with different field layouts are available, while for "Railroad Ink" dice expansions are available, each adding a new die to the game with its own rules.
All these and many other games can be ordered from our online store, or purchased at one of our physical stores, where the salespeople will be able to tell you more and help you find the most suitable gift for you!
