This year’s freshly crowned Kennerspiel des Jahres winner, Rebirth by Reiner Knizia, is our next featured game at Goose Games!
Published by Mighty Boards, Rebirth is a strategic eurogame set in a lush, hopeful future after a global civilization collapse. Players act as rival clan leaders working to restore the ruined lands of Scotland or Ireland in harmony with nature. The gameplay features a swift, streamlined rhythm with deep tactical choices. Players share identical pools of tiles, including food farms (leaves), energy farms (lightning bolts), and settlements (houses) and earn points by expanding contiguous clusters of matching farms, claiming area majority control over castle territories, and completely closing off settlement regions. There are private end-game objectives that players can also earn to boost their scores.
The prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres (Connoisseur/Expert Game of the Year) honors the absolute best tabletop experiences designed for hobbyist players who love deeper strategy, richer rules, and an engaging tactical challenge. We will have tables set up and hosts ready to teach you the rules to this year’s top expert game!
But don’t worry if that’s a bit too heavy for you. Goose Games has several past winners of the Kennerspiel des Jahres and the related Spiel des Jahres award that focuses on simpler and more accessible games in our library that we’ll have available. Players will earn bonus tickets for playing any of the past winners of either award! \
