Gateway Island (Pre Order)

With 21 different minigames, each one introducing a distinct modern board game mechanic, this could be the ultimate gateway board game. 

Gateway Island has an intriguing premise; it’s a sampling platter of 21 distinct board games, each based on a different board game mechanic, crammed into a very modestly sized box. Van Ryder Games will publish the English language edition of the game in Summer 2024.

Long-time board game collectors know that the best board games aren’t always the most complicated, innovative, or flashy-looking. ‘Gateway’ board games, which offer a solid gameplay experience without requiring lots of prior knowledge to enjoy, are really important for introducing newcomers to the hobby.
