Our top ten board game sellers of last year - Number 4!

Last year we had one of the best years for board games sales, but what were our top ten sellers? For the next few weeks we will take the time to look at each one and give you a brief overview of the rules.

Continuing today with a game that is very simple to play and super competitive for all ages...

Number 4




Dobble is a game in which players have to find symbols in common between two cards. It was the UK’s best-selling game in 2018 and 2019 and it has been in our top 5 games every year since we started selling it in 2011

The game is sold as Dobble in Europe and Spot It! in the US. The name is a play on the word 'double'.

Gameplay

The game uses a deck of 55 cards, each printed with eight different symbols. Any two cards always share one, and only one, matching symbol. The objective of the game is to be the first player to announce the common symbol between two given cards.

Discover 5 mini games and challenges to play together. Dobble is a game that encourages concentration and observation.

Kill Team : Gallowfall

 

In the doomed depths of the space hulk Gallowdark, elite kill teams hunt each other through crumbling passages. The space hulk is on the brink of annihilation, chunks of it torn away by the catastrophic crash of an Imperial prison barge. As it drifts ever-closer to destruction, long-confined distress signals emitted by an Ironkin of the Leagues of Votann finally break through to the galaxy beyond – and now The Reachfar, a cruiser of the Trans-Hyperian Alliance, speeds to the hulk to rescue their lost comrade. This will be no easy task, however, for they are hunted by a pack of Fellgor Ravagers – fearsome Chaos Beastmen hunters who stand among the Gallowdark’s most ferocious and cunning denizens.

Kill Team: Gallowfall is a full expansion box for Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team, the ultimate sci-fi skirmish game. It includes miniatures for two new Kill Teams – the hardened warriors of the Leagues of Votann’s Hearthkyn Salvagers, and the savage Chaos Beastmen of the Fellgor Ravagers. They’re packed together with loads of space hulk terrain, which is fully compatible with that found in Killzone Gallowdark, along with more than 500 transfers, a double-sided game board, and a rules manual including missions, background material exploring the mysterious setting, and full rosters for the two kill teams.

In this box, you’ll find:

1x 120-page Kill Team: Gallowfall rules manual: The fourth and final instalment of this season of Kill Team, in which elite warriors from across the galaxy plunge into the depths of an enormous space hulk. As well as background material, this manual provides new rules, datacards, and background tables for both the Hearthkyn Salvagers and Fellgor Ravagers kill teams, plus additional killzone rules for Medical Equipment, Escape Pods, and Stasis Pods, nine new Shadow Ops missions themed around escaping the Gallowdark, and nine Critical Ops missions for playing in the space hulk.

20x plastic miniatures: Two full kill teams, including new Chaos Beastmen miniatures available for the first time in this box, each featuring a wide array of customisation and alternate assembly options. Extra components allow for deep personalisation of your kill team, and many models can be assembled with multiple options.

Fellgor Ravager Kill Team:
– 10 all-new brutal Chaos Beastmen, available for the first time in this set – festooned with incredible details
– Components to build specialists like an Ironhorn, Deathknell, Fluxbray, Shaman, and a fearsome Vandal
– Loads of interchangeable horns and heads to customise your Beastmen

Hearthkyn Salvager Kill Team:
– 10 Leagues of Votann models, led by a Hearthkyn Theyn
РExtra components to build specialists like a Dozr, Grenadier, Jump Pack Warrior, and a robotic Kognit̢ar
– Additional cosmetic options to customise your Hearthkyn, including a Leagues of Votann transfer sheet with 555 individual markings.

34x pieces of Killzone: Gallowdark terrain: This modular system of walls, doors, and pillars can be arranged in a huge variety of configurations to create different room and corridor layouts, with glueless assembly allowing you to adjust their positioning in-game.

18x pieces of Killzone: Gallowfall terrain: New pieces of detailed, modular terrain to expand your killzone, specially designed to suit the missions found in Kill Team: Gallowfall – including Escape Pods, Autopsy Tables, Surgical Chairs, Stasis Pods, Medical Supply Table, and Iron Lungs.

1x double-sided Gallowfall game board: Set up your terrain on this folding cardboard game board measuring 30″ by 22″, depicting the battle-scarred deck plating of the space hulk on both sides.
