Bye, bye, Lookout Webshop!

You can see a part of a medieval house with a door and a window. A woman is standing in the window and waving good bye with a tissue in her hand. Above the door is Webshop written. A sign showing Closed is attached to it. The lower left corner shows the words Sorry we are closed and the lower right corner shows the Lookout logo.

Since 2022, the Lookout team is focusing exclusively on developing and publishing new games for you. Therefore, our online shop was closed on June 30th 2023.

Asmodee is handling our distribution, including Germany, Austria and Switzerland since January 2022. All current Lookout games are now only available in your FLGS, this also applies to all new releases. So check in with your FLGS for #newsfromthelookout regularly.

Orders placed before the closing will still be processed, obviously. If you haven't got a order confirmation (already checked your Spam folder?), please contact our service team!

Lookouts spare parts service is still available. Please use our contact form to open replacement part tickets with us:

INTRODUCING: FOREST SHUFFLE

A TACTICAL CARD GAME FOR SMART NATURE LOVERS

Cover: Forest Shuffle

Experience the miracles of the forest in this clever card game. In Forest Shuffle, 2-5 players compete in gathering the most valuable trees and attract species, thus creating an ecological balanced habitat for flora and fauna.

Forest Shuffle by rising young German designer KOSCH draws you in with multifunctional cards, sporting stunning illustrations by artists Toni Llobet and Judit Piella. Both experts in wildlife illustration and naturalism, their artistic touch adds to the game play tremendously.

Ideal for seasoned board game lovers, occasional players, families as well as art and nature lovers, with its simple yet intriguing gameplay and multifunctional cards, this one can be played again and again.

As our Head of Studio put it so nicely: “Forest Shuffle is the next best thing to walking in the woods!”

LOOKOUT GREENLINE:

With this card game we don't just take you into the forest - Forest Shuffle is the first game of our new Lookout Greenline, whose products are produced exclusively on FSC certified paper and are completely plastic-free.

GLOBAL SPIEL ESSEN RELEASE - OCTOBER 2023

First edition of Forest Shuffle will be available in English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Polish, Hungarian and is scheduled for global release October 2023 at Essen SPIEL'23 (English and German copies). For those heading to Gen Con this August: Asmodee North America is hosting demo tables and might have the first pre-release copies for you...

Let's set up a forest, then.

Introducing: Lookout Greenline

World Environment Day 2023 is a reminder that people’s actions on plastic waste matters.

If you know Lookout, you also know that we rely on sustainable raw materials when producing our board games. For years, we’ve primarily used cardboard, paper, and wooden components, as well as water-soluble inks that meet the highest standards. Together with our partners, we aim to consistently do better. As of 2022, we try to have all cards included in our games wrapped in paper instead of cellophane.

Today, Lookout Games is going one step further. This summer we will present the first in a line of games that do not use any plastic at all! Lookout games sporting the Greenline label will be produced with FSC® certified paper and the box enclosure will be sealed with a small sticky paper seal instead of shrink wrap.

News on this series will be revealed later this June. Stay tune!

Go green!

FINAL CALL: LOOKOUT WEBSHOP IS CLOSING

External link to the Lookout online shop: https://lookout-shop.de

You might have noticed - over the past year - that we've expanded the Lookout team. This was important for us to focus more on our core business: developing great games for you that we also love to play ourselves: Atiwa, Cantaloop - Book 3: Against all odds, Eppi, Tipperary... However, sometimes you have to get smaller. Our fabulous colleague Britta, who managed the online shop so reliably for many years, is thinking about retirement & our warehouse is emptying. In addition, the current legal situation makes it difficult for us to make deliveries to neighboring Austria.

Therefore, we will shut down the Lookout online shop in summer 2023.

In preparation for this, we have spring-cleaned our warehouse and discovered some treasures, e.g. a few copies of the coveted The Colonists or the long lost issue of Neues vom Ausguck - Ausgabe 7 - including the The Colonists scenario "Die kaiserliche Post"*!

Keep checking back in the next weeks - we will continuously add more items from our collection. There is sure to be one or the other bargain for you.

* Attention: The magazine as well as the scenario rules are only available in German!

Have a great weekend!
the Lookout team

The year ends brilliantly!

Some of you already collected it, the 15 years of Agricola - The Anniversary Box. And whether it's the Anniversary Box or the 15 years of Agricola - Collector's Box for all fans who also want to store their collected Agricola treasures in style: Something is particularly important to us in the context of this anniversary!

Farmers Helping Farmers

Some of you will remember - after the receiving the Deutscher Spielepreis and the Spiel des Jahres, Lookout had started a "Farmers Helping Farmers" campaign. Back then, and with your help, we were able to support the Arbore in Ethiopia over several years - with animals, seeds, donations and school fees for training.

15 years of Agricola is a perfect reason to be grateful and give back. For each copy of the 15 years of Agricola - The Anniversary Box sold in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, we will donate € 1.- to Zukunftsstiftung Landwirtschaft , to support school farms in Germany and provide children and young people with valuable experiences.

Anyone who would like to contribute is welcome to do so. Lookout reserves the right to increase the donation amount, which will be raised until December 31st 2022.

Information about the donation campaign can be found here:

Spendenaufruf

* Please note that, since this donation campaign is tailored for the German market, this information is only available in German.
