FIVE NEW LOOKOUT GAMES ON BOARD GAME ARENA
Board Game Arena is a wonderful alternative if your favorite board game circle is not available at the moment. Our Lookout team, spread across three countries, also meets regularly around the digital gaming table. Over the past few months, several of our games have contributed to the wide range of games available on BGA:
- Before hitting the markets, Treos , our autumn release, invited you on an adventure.
- The award-winning Forest Shuffle got its second expansion Forest Shuffle: Woodland Edge.
- The Mandala series has been expanded with Flowers: a Mandala game . This entry is now for up to 4 players.
- The Lookout classic Neom now also lets you prove your knack for urban architecture online.
- And with Piepmatz another classic joins the feeder… ahem… platform ;-)
See you at the virtual gaming table!
PS: Even if it's not new on BGA, it's worth taking a look at Patchwork . You can now also choose its beautiful birthday robe as a design.

Announcement: Forest Shuffle card replacement service
UPDATE
We got made aware that a small amount of affected Forest Shuffle base games slipped through the re-call in UK and were sold at UK Games Expo . We are sorry that we didn't catch this earlier and updated the Forest Shuffle Card Exchange page accordingly.
The last print of Forest Shuffle is slightly off color on the back of the cards. Not a problem as long as you only play the base game, but mixing it with the cards from the Forest Shuffle: Alpine expansion and the color mismatch gets obvious.
Luckily, we were able to stop most deliveries of the affected games before they reached retailers and got sold to you. However, there are some countries (Germany, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) where affected games have already been sold.
We wanted to give customers from these countries an easy and simple solution to get new cards if needed. Please note that the service differs, depending on the country you bought your game in. To find out if your game is affected and how to request your replacement cards, please go to this page:
Everybody is working hard to exchange your cards as quickly as possible. Please understand that shipping out the new cards might take some time, depending on the number of requests we receive. Thank you for your patience!

May brings you: Flowers!
The mandala grows and grows...
Great news for all Mandala fans: FLOWERS: A Mandala Game, the latest installation in the series, will once again immerse you in a colorful game world. And it's bigger than ever before! This time, up to four people can sit at the table and compete for the most beautiful and highest scoring lotus flowers.
In FLOWERS: A Mandala Game, designers Trevor Benjamin and Brett J. Gilbert have once again created a dynamic card game. It is quick to set up and easy to learn. But every move requires tactical decisions to secure the best tiles and earn you valuable points. Its depth makes every game a new and interactive challenge.Of course, once again you will place your mandalas on a beautiful linen playmat. Overall, FLOWERS: A Mandala Game is also part of the Lookout Greenline.
Ready to dive into this new colorful experience? All you need is a little patience. FLOWERS: A Mandala Game will be released in Germany in mid-July. Visitors to the UK Games Expo will be able to get their hands on it from May 31st. You can find us at booth 1-952.
