A New Era For Board Gaming

Board Gaming in South Africa is a growing phenomenon, says Eugene Vermeulen, director of SkyCastle Games, South Africa’s largest importer of hobby board games.

People are starting to discover an entire world of games out there far beyond Monopoly, Cluedo and Scrabble. Not that there is anything wrong with those games, but the scope is much bigger than just that. There are games that simulate running farms, settling new communities, fighting wars, pirating on the high seas, going on fantasy quests, surviving zombie invasions, combating global epidemics and exploring the galaxy. – Eugene Vermeulen

Even popular franchises like A Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, The Walking Dead, Battlestar Galactica and many others have been converted to successful, quality board games that have received critical acclaim.

    We love Settlers of Catan! The boardgame is growing more and more popular all the time. Exclusive Books should host competitions like they do overseas. And don’t forget Somerset West Mall please 🙂
