European game company KOSMOS is set to launch a series of six popular strategy board games directly in the U.S. for the first time.
Lost Cities: The Board Game and Kahuna are both popular games previously distributed by Rio Grande Games that have been out of print in the U.S. market for a few years. Ubongo was distributed by Z-Man Games and is also currently out of print. Dimension and Dohdles are both new to the U.S. market.
The following information is available for KOSMOS’ upcoming game launch.
Dohdles! are riddles made of dough! Exercise your imagination in this artistic and hilarious sculpting and guessing game for families and parties of three to six players. Ages: 8+ | MSRP: $39.95 Available: May 2015
Ubongo is a fast-paced, addictive, and easy-to-learn geometric puzzle game. Players race against the timer and against each other to solve a puzzle of interlocking shapes. The faster you solve the puzzle, the more gems you get. Ages: 8+ | MSRP: $39.95 Available: May 2015
Dimension is a fast-paced, innovative puzzle game that takes place in three dimensions with 60 colorful spheres. Ages: 8+ | MSRP: $49.95 Available: April 2015
Lost Cities: The Board Game: The research teams are outfitted and ready to embark on their adventures to find five forgotten cities. Who will lead the way to fantastic discoveries? Each player guides a team of explorers on up to five expeditions. To advance along an expedition path, a card in the path’s color must be played for each step forward. For two to four players. Ages: 10+ | MSRP: $39.95 Available: April 2015
Kahuna: Who will rule the South Seas? Two Kahuna — ancient sorcerers of the Pacific —compete for dominance on an archipelago consisting of twelve small islands. Like the best two-player games, this classic card-based board game is deceptively simple and highly strategic. Ages: 10+ | MSRP: $24.05 Available: April 2015
Lost Cities: The Original Card Game: Who will discover the ancient civilizations? Two explorers embark on research journeys to remote corners of the world: the Himalayan Mountains, the Central American rainforest, the Egyptian desert, a mysterious volcano, and the bottom of the sea. As the cards are played, the expedition routes take shape and the explorers earn points. For two players. Ages: 10+ | MSRP: $19.95 Available: April 2015
Thames & KOSMOS will be at this year’s New York Toy Fair, which Purple Pawn will be attending and may be able to get a closer look at whether the reprinted games will be any different than previous versions.
