Three different landscapes from Lookout
When springtime meets Irish greenery
Outside, the first tender leaves are sprouting. So why not let an entire landscape bloom indoors? No need for space - just grab your phone or computer, and off to Ireland you go!
In Tipperary, let the magical stone circle guide you as you craft your perfect vision of an Irish county. Combine the pieces it gives you cleverly, build mystical ruins, fire up the whisky production, and gather your sheep into a large flock.
Tipperary is now live on Board Game Arena !
Who will piece together the largest landscape from the wonderfully varied tiles? Who will best harmonize sheep, bogs, ruins, and distilleries? Dive into Tipperary to find out! But be warned: one round is almost never enough!
We hope you have tons of fun exploring!
A dragon-filled summer and a wild autumn await!
This spring and early summer, we’ve got some lovely highlights in store with Gretchen’s Garten (April 2026), Adventurers Required (June 2026) and Forest Shuffle – Dartmoor: Exmoor (June 2026). However, the rest of the gaming year is shaping up to be just as exciting! Here are two new releases to look forward to:
Dragon Overload | Jay Bendixen | Nele Diel
The latest instalment in our Games for Two series. In this tactical card game, you’ll send mighty dragons to conquer and achieve majority in five home areas without letting these powerful creatures become too overconfident. Who will tame their dragons best and claim victory?
Forest Shuffle – Smoky Mountains | Kosch | Judit Piella, Toni Llobet
The third standalone game in the Forest Shuffle series takes you across the pond to the popular Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Expect new species and terrain cards centered around water, plus large animals like black bears and bobcats playing a bigger role.
Sounds like a great package you can’t wait for, right? To help pass the time, you can try out all the games at various events over the coming months. We’ll announce details in good time on our social media channels where you can find which games on our gaming tables.

2025 comes to an end
Monster fun in the mineshaft
Deep underground, monsters are roaming in an abandoned mineshaft! But, unfortunately, it is quite boring down there. What better way than to build a ghost train, to give their existence meaning once again?
In Ghosts Galore, you can join the spooky (and fun!) construction crew and show off your monster-coordinating, track-building skills. Find the best route for your ghost train but always keep an eye on the monsters’ wishes. Balance both successfully, and you’ll rack up the big points!
This game will win you over in multiple ways: First, with its adorably striking monsters - so charming, you’ll almost forget how spooky they are! Second, with its fun drafting mechanism, delivering plenty of strategic fun.
Ghosts Galore, designed by Michael Luu and illustrated by Nele Diel, is a quick, fun family game for 2–5 monster friends (ages 10+). The game will be released late February 2026.
And for the finale: a look back!
Only a few days remain until 2025 comes to a close. But before we head off for our well-deserved break, let’s take a moment to reflect - and what we see makes us very happy!
This year, we celebrated our 25th anniversary at various occasions with all of you! On social media, we revisited the highlights and favorite games of the past 25 years alongside our wonderful community. The absolute highlight? Our big anniversary booth at Spiel in Essen. And to top it all off, a wonderful team event in November served as the perfect finale.
Beyond the anniversary celebrations, 2025 was also an amazing year for games! We released Great Western Trail – El Paso, a beginner-friendly version of the classic. Forest Shuffle: Exploration packed a nice package for fans of the series, while Sir Ocelot’s Cave challenged puzzle lovers. Forest Shuffle – Dartmoor invited players to explore the beauty of Dartmoor National Park in a standalone experience. And with MARVEL: Skirmish! In New York, we let you rewrite the eternal battle of good vs. evil with every playthrough.
Next year, we’ve got exciting new projects lined up for you - starting with Ghosts Galore (which you’ve already met above!). More surprises are coming soon, but for now, it’s time for a little winter break to rest, recharge, and - of course - play a game or two with loved ones.
Please note: Our office will be closed from December 15, 2025, to January 6, 2026 .
We wish you relaxing holidays and a fantastic start to the new year!

SPIEL'25 at Essen, from October 23rd - 26th
Celebrate 25 years of Lookout with us
2025 is a very special year for Lookout as we celebrate our 25th anniversary. And after we have already celebrated on a smaller scale at Tabletop Day and on a somewhat larger scale on social media in recent months, the big celebration is now taking place at Spiel'25 in Essen, Germany!
For the anniversary, there will be two booths this year!
Hall 3, 3V300 – Our anniversary booth
What better way to celebrate a birthday than with a get-together at Spiel? We can’t think of much, which is why we’re hosting an anniversary booth in Hall 3 this year. There’s a lot happening here, and this is what you can look forward to:
- A Forest Shuffle - Dartmoor promo card with every purchase of Forest Shuffle - Dartmoor (also available in the Asmodee shop in hall 7)!

In New York, German copies of Eppi Teil 2 - Der Schokoladenschmuggel, stylish Forest Shuffle t-shirts, and adorable plushies from Eppi and a few friends from the Forest Shuffle universe (German copies are available at the Asmodee shop in hall 7).
- A cozy meeting place: Join us here for signing sessions and meet-and-greets with various authors. Or swing by to chat with the Lookout team, grab a bottle of “Moorwasser,” and ask us your questions. “Moorwasser”?! Yes, you read that right! This limited-edition cola mix (cola & orange) will be given away during the fair in exchange for voluntary donations. All proceeds will go toward supporting the Biological Station Osterholz e.V. in Lower Saxony, Germany.

These, along with many other fun prizes, are waiting for you! Every spin is a win!

You can get this card by doing various things at our booth, e. g. spin the Wheel of Fortune, test a novelty at a demo table, donate to a good cause (and get a "Moorwasser" additionally) or post an image in front of our Anniversary wall on your social media.
