Our top ten board game sellers of last year - Number 7!

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 new edition to the shop last and one of two games from local game designers Gunpowder Studios...

Number 7

The magical kingdom in which 7 Moons is set, is woven richly into the game, giving players an immersive experience with them at the heart of the adventure.

You play royal emissaries, sent out by your monarch into the kingdom of Dragon Reach to ready your city for war against the approaching Shadow Army.

How will you raise enough gold to strengthen your city’s defences and recruit allies to fight with you? Will you trade resources on the volatile market, hoping for a healthy profit? Will you risk venturing into the lawless wilderness for its magical riches? Or will you embark on a quest in aid of others to earn your gold?

7 Moons is an easy to learn, fun to play game of strategy, acquisition and adventure in a mythical magical land.

Gameplay includes a nice mix of mechanics – trading, questing, journeying, building and combat – to keep things interesting and give players plenty of choice as to how their adventure plays out.

The Shadow Army is a tough opponent at the end of the game, but if you’ve planned and played well, your city will be fine. Probably. Possibly.
