Stonehenge (game)

Stonehenge is an anthology board game published in June 2007 by Titanic Games, an imprint of Paizo Publishing, built around a single set of components that five well known designers, Richard Garfield, Richard Borg, James Ernest, Bruno Faidutti and Mike Selinker, each used independently to create their own distinct game. The result is a box containing five different games built from identical pieces, spanning a magic themed game, a political game, a battle game, an auction game and a science fiction game, playable by two to five players in forty five to sixty minutes and aimed at ages ten and up. Bidding is a recurring mechanic across several of the included games, and the box carries a comparatively high degree of chance alongside the strategic choices each designer built into their own variant. The anthology format, described as the first of its kind, proved popular enough that Paizo followed it later the same year with an expansion called Stonehenge: Nocturne, adding four more games from a second set of designers, Andrew Looney, Klaus-Jurgen Wrede, Serge Laget and Bruno Cathala, built from the same underlying component set.
