Stonehenge has always been a mystery, its original purpose lost in time. Titanic Games asks the question: what would five world-class game designers make of such a location if they were the ones to discover it?

Titanic Games presents the world’s first Anthology Board Game™. We gathered together five talented game designers and gave each of them the same board and pieces. Five unique designers resulted in five unique games: an Arthurian showdown by Richard Borg, a monumental fire sale by James Ernest, a druidic election by Bruno Faidutti, a magical convocation by Richard Garfield, and an alien chariot race by Mike Selinker.

    Stonehenge contains:

  • One rulebook with five games
  • One game board
  • One deck of 65 cards
  • Five plastic trilithons
  • 50 plastic disks
  • 50 plastic bars
  • Six plastic pawns

In addition to the five games you get in the Stonehenge box, there are lots more games you can play with Stonehenge. You can play Paul Peterson’s “Stonehenge Rocks!,” a Spinal Tap-esque rock concert game, which is available as a free PDF download from Knucklebones Magazine for a limited time. Look for more free games in other magazines soon! And don’t miss the Stonehenge Library, a place where everyone can share the games they’ve written for Stonehenge. If you’d like to write a Stonehenge game and let everyone else try it, post it there.

And it doesn’t stop there. In the fall, we’ll be releasing the first print expansion to Stonehenge, called Stonehenge: Nocturne. Four more great game designers (Klaus-Jürgen Wrede, Andrew Looney, Bruno Cathala and Serge Laget) add three new games to the Stonehenge line. These games use the pieces for a 6th and a 7th player, included in the expansion. With every new game, Stonehenge just keeps on expanding. Come join all these great designers and be part of this ambitious project!
