Surprised Stare logoSurprised Stare Games

Surprised Stare Games is the brainchild of two game designers: Tony Boydell and Alan Paull. With track records going back a couple of decades, they set up Surprised Stare Games in 1999 to publish their own games from their base in Gloucestershire.

They made a good start with their first publication, Bloody Legacy, which was great fun. Since then, Surprised Stare has produced a fine mixture of entertaining and strategic games, including the brilliant Snowdonia. Find out more on the Surprised Stare Games website.

The table below lists the Surprised Stare games available from Games from Pevans. Click on the title or picture to find out more about them.

The Cousins' War (2nd ed) (David Mortimer)

Will Lancaster or York rule England? This is a two-player game of the Wars of the Roses with a clever bluffing mechanism at its heart. You need to keep your wits about you for the 30 minutes it takes. The second edition is 's in a larger box with larger cards and includes the Events expansion: £14.00.

The March of Progress (Alan Paull)

Warfare through the centuries is how this particular progress proceeds. Players use the same core cards to resolve battles from the Thirty Years War to WW2: £13.00.

The Ming Voyages (David J Mortimer and Alan Paull)

The Emperor wants to complete the Chinese fleet's voyages of exploration, but keeps being distracted by these pesky barbarians making trouble on the borders. That'll be the other player, of course: £14.00.

North American Railways (Peer Sylvester)

I played this clever card game of railways and company shares at the UK Games Expo and was very taken with it. Players take share cards, Company Directors take city cards that provide income for shareholders, but both involve some careful decision-making: £13.00 Special offer: £10.00 (£8.33 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).

War of the 3 Sanchos (David J Mortimer)

Latest in Surprised Stare's "Pocket Campaigns" series, this is the war of 1065-67 between the three kingdoms of northern Spain, all ruled by Sanchos. It's about outwitting your opponents and making best use of the celever combat system: £18.00.
