Find the perfect game for your level. Whether you are buying a board game for the first time or are a seasoned strategist, simply filter by complexity and discover games that suit you.
How does complexity work for board games?
Not every board game is the same. Some games you can explain in two minutes and play straight away, while others demand hours of preparation and strategic insight. At Kapitein Spel we use four levels of complexity so you can quickly find what you are looking for:
Beginner: games with simple rules that you can explain in a few minutes. Ideal if you are just getting started with board games or want a quick game for in between.
Family: accessible games with just a bit more depth. Perfect for a cosy game night with the family or friends, without anyone dropping out because of complicated rules.
Enthusiast: games for regular players looking for a challenge. More strategic choices, longer playing time and richer mechanics. This is the category behind the well-known Kennerspiel des Jahres award.
Expert: the most complex games in our range. Deep strategy, extensive rules and long sessions for experienced board game lovers.
Not sure which level suits you? Start with Family: that is where you will find the most popular games, which work for almost everyone.
