Discover the world of Garphill Games’ strategic board game series

Garphill Games is an independent board game publisher based in New Zealand. The company has evolved from a labour of love into one of the world’s most highly regarded publishers in the board game industry. Their games are recognised for their well-thought-out mechanics, deep strategy and stunning visuals, often created by illustrator Mihajlo Dimitrievski (The Mico).

The publisher achieved worldwide fame with its epic historical trilogies. The North Sea series, featuring the hit game Raiders of the North Sea, paved the way for their distinctive style. This was followed by the hugely popular West Kingdom series (with titles such as Architects of the West Kingdom, Paladins and Viscounts), whilst more recently they have been delighting players with the South Tigris series (e.g. Wayfarers of the South Tigris) and successful solo games such as Legacy of Yu.

Garphill Games’ board games are primarily aimed at more discerning players, fans of Euro-style strategy games, and anyone who appreciates tense tactical decision-making and a rich thematic experience.
