KOSMOS are debuting all their hot new releases for the year - find your next obsession during SPIEL.digital!

Anno 1800 [DE]

In Anno 1800, a board game based on the popular PC game from Ubisoft, you continuously build up your own industry to develop your home island.

Ship fleets allow for lively trade and the development of new islands in the Old and New World. You have to fulfill the wishes of your own population. While the inhabitants are initially satisfied with bread and clothing, they soon demand valuable luxury goods. You must plan production chains sensibly and keep an eye on the specialization of your population. The goal: A wise distribution of farmers, workers, craftsmen, engineers, and investors — but the competition never sleeps and can snatch the new achievements from under your nose at any time! Who can create the most prosperous island?

Switch & Signal [DE]

Who is best to keep track of things? There is an incredible amount of traffic on the rails! It's pretty relaxed at first, but the more trains that are put on the game board, the tighter it gets. Has the course been set correctly? Is the train really on the right route? Is the signal green?

The railways run at different speeds in the co-operative game Switch & Signal, so players have to coordinate well to transport goods to their destination without wasting time. The journey goes across Europe, the United States, and Canada. Thanks to simple rules, the game can start right away. Time is running out...

The Crew [EN, DE, IT, FR]

In the co-operative trick-taking game The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine, the players set out as astronauts on an uncertain space adventure. What about the rumors about the unknown planet about? The eventful journey through space extends over 50 exciting missions. But this game can only be defeated by meeting common individual tasks of each player. In order to meet the varied challenges, communication is essential in the team. But this is more difficult than expected in space.

With each mission, the game becomes more difficult. After each mission, the game can be paused and continued later. During each mission, it is not the amount of tricks, but the right tricks at the right time that count.

The team wins only if every single player is successful in fulfilling their tasks.

Aqualin [EN, DE]

There's turmoil at the reef, with different sea animals forming swarms again and again.

Each turn in Aqualin, the active player selects one of six stones and places it on an empty field. One player is trying to make groups of the same color, while the other is forming groups of identical sea creatures, with players having the ability to move a stone before placing a new one to form new swarms. The larger the group, the more points it's worth, and whoever scores the most points wins!

The Lost Words Card Game [EN]

The Lost Words is a card game based on the stunning book by best-selling author Robert Macfarlane, and acclaimed Illustrator of over 40 beloved classics, Jackie Morris. The book, which highlights nature that has been lost to a new generation, has won numerous awards including the Kate Greenaway in 2019.

The game is won by placing your Spell cards over beautifully illustrated Nature cards before your opponents. The players’ quests will be blocked - or aided - by special action cards which create a most exciting dynamic throughout the game.

Simple enough to play for ages 8+ but strategic enough to keep adults engaged, The Lost Words is a wonderful addition to any games collection or coffee table.
