Board games now account for 32% of Thames & Kosmos’ UK sales.

Included in the Devir collection is the hugely popular Check Point Charlie – a card game of observation and deduction – and Holmes: Sherlock and Mycroft, where gathering evidence is the game.

There are titles for a wide range of gaming abilities and ages, from the kids’ game 1,2,3 to the frantic co-operative play, Fast Food Fear. Other titles are Barcelona: The Rose of Fire, Castellers, Dragons and Chickens, Dungeon Riders, Picnic and Michael Strogoff.

Joanna Drage, sales director, Thames & Kosmos UK, commented, “We’re thrilled to be the nominated distributor for the esteemed Devir Games in the UK. We’ve developed such a strong relationship with the founders, Xavier Garriga and Carlos Fernandes, who share our passion for the board game space.”

Thames & Kosmos UK will also be revealing a new board game website – www.kosmosgames.co.uk – in time for the summer, which will offer information about all the games in its portfolio and direct customers to their nearest stockist. The site will also provide a simple way for new retailers to become stockists of its titles.
