Zoch has detailed its latest slate of games, due to be showcases at next month’s Spiel at Essen.

Offering a balance of ‘fun and relaxation’ is Ananda, designed by Dirk Barsuhn. The game sees players build a temple for their monk using a combination of tactics, luck and caution.

Elsewhere, Carlo A. Rossi’s Die Trödler aus den Highlands centres on players moving their carts through the Scottish Highlands delivering goods. The game features a combination of ‘luck, observation and strategy.’

Finally, Zoch is also readying the fourth edition of Down Under from designers Anna Oppolzer and Stefan Kloß. First released by Zoch a decade ago, the card game sees players manoeuvre their underwater characters to grab coveted seats in the Beasty Bar.
