Go on a new journey with Forest Shuffle

In the last two years, Forest Shuffle from Kosch has taken you to the mixed forests of Europe. Now it's time to discover more of this beautiful planet. In Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor, the new stand-alone of the beloved card game, we take you with us to the moor and heathland landscape of the British Dartmoor National Park.

We have remained true to the core of the game. So you can look forward to beautiful illustrations by Toni Llobet and Judit Piella again this time. And it is still your goal to create an ecological balanced habitat for flora and fauna. But with the new landscape comes not only new species, but also a new twist .

In contrast to the familiar trees and shrubs, the new terrains are played horizontally and thus offer even more variation. These and other changes bring a breath of fresh air to the forest and let you discover many new strategies.

Forest Shuffle: Dartmoor will be released this October at Spiel 2025, Essen. Even before that, you can make your first excursions into the atmospheric moorland at various events.

An epic duell on the streets of New York

In MARVEL: Skirmish! In New York, old friends and enemies meet for an epic battle of good versus evil. Who will prevail? Doctor Strange and Hulk, or Ultron and Loki? Take the side of the Heroes or Villains and claim control of the city.

In the latest entry in our Games for Two series, Matthias Cramer reinterpreted this eternal battle. The asymmetrical decks of cards offer strategic depth and high replayability. With your decision for either heroes or villains you also decide for the strengths and weaknesses of the various characters. They look fantastic, by the way, thanks to the original comic artwork.

In stores this October

Will you seize control of the streets of New York? Will you take advantage of valuable artefacts and strategically important locations? Find out in October 2025, when MARVEL: Skirmish! In New York is released at Spiel in Essen !

Cooperation with the German Architecture Museum

What could the urban district of the future look like? What do its residents need? What are the effects of climate protection, mobility, social integration and demographic change? These are not questions that usually occupy us as a small board game publisher. But when the German Architecture Museum (DAM) in Frankfurt asked us in spring 2024 whether we wanted to work through these and other questions together with them in a board game, we were thrilled.

The occasion for this is the exhibition „Stadt Bauen Heute?“ , which can be seen at the DAM from 28 June to 2 November 2025. Instead of an exhibition catalogue, you can slip into the role of the city administration, investors or environmentalists thanks to the accompanying board game „Plan.Spiel.Stadt“.

Plan.Spiel.Stadt, published by the German Architecture Museum, was created in cooperation between the Department of Education and Lookout. It complements the exhibition and offers an insight into the complex process of modern district planning and its challenges. The game is only available in German in the course of the exhibition at the DAM.

As announced in January on the Forest Shuffle card replacement page, the replacement service for the color mismatched cards has ended today. We thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Sir Ocelot's or Professor Penguin's Cave?

Explore a newly discovered cave system as Sir Ocelot or Professor Penguin and compete for precious gemstones found inside. The prize for this little friendly competition is nothing less than the right to name this newly discovered location.

On your side are your tools and your trusty companion. Place them around the perimeter of the caves. Once the visual axis of three different tools 'encircles' a valuable item, you can retrieve the treasure. Who will gather the most valuable collection of gemstones and win the game?

Sir Ocelot's Cave is the latest entry in our series of Games for Two. The game, designed by Chis Dahlmann and illustrated by Marion Sonet, will send you on an adventure at the end of May.
