FD Games - board games for all
< • email Acorn Publ. AP On-line Fleur Des. board games i >
Games on this page are from our two single-board game collections. All but one of these games cost £12 and this price includes board, pieces and rules. HexAgon is a compendium of four games and costs £15.

In addition to the games shown here we also sell Four Square which can be played on any number of boards (using at least one board for every 2 players).
Two other games use four of our unique boards:
  • Krikos (available in three designs) for chess players - but our chess is played in circles and
  • Rithmomachia, our version of the famous game for Philosophers, which uses arithmetical rules and sequencies as well as simple captures.

    RoCo board game
    Just one of a range of games
    designed by John Cartmell
    using RISC OS software (ArtWorks)

    RoCo is a simple-to-learn game
    with strategy that you can develop
    to keep the game challenging
    for 2 to 4 players (or more)

    Choosing a game can be difficult. Thankfully Fleur Designs have made the choice simple by keeping the prices down and offering free lifetime support on every game - if we haven't made the rules clear enough we will happily talk them through with you by e-mail. Use the table below to help find a game according to difficulty and number of players.
    Surakarta and Maldon are 2 player games whilst Five and Qiddle can be played by 2-4 players.

    All games are designed for adults to play but easy (level 1) games are also for children from age 7 whilst the harder level 4 games are best left until about age 11. Children should be introduced to games by playing with adults before playing just with other children; that's why we introduced this range of games that we know will interest both adults and children.

    Our multiple board games range from easy (Four Square) to hard (Krikos) and harder (Rithmomachia).
