Our Current Projects

The first board game of Paranoid Games "The Knights of Arandamar" is now in advanced open beta testing. Development is almost complete and the game is currently being tested by interested board gamers regionally within Germany, in the Schleswig-Holstein / Hamburg area. You can find dates and venues under Events. If you have any questions about the game, please send us a contact enquiry by Contact or social media. For the international testing we are still looking for game enthusiasts, bloggers, youtubers and influencers on other social media channels. We are grateful for any help we can get to publicise this game so that it can go into production towards the end of 2024 via a successful Kickstarter campaign.

    STATUS: Early Development

Extension Towers & Castles

The latest game expansion, which adds the "Towers & Castles" element, has proven itself in the game and changes the gameplay more than initially expected.

The option of building towers and castles to further strengthen your own provinces and build up power points is an exciting addition.

Surprisingly, this expansion seems to noticeably shorten the duration of the rounds, as combat is reduced to a certain extent due to reduced finances and greater risk. Further rounds of the game will show whether the initial impressions are confirmed.

 

What Players say about "The Knights of Arandamar"

Feedback from playtesters is incredibly helpful in the further development of a game and is essential for releasing a really good, mature game. Here are a few opinions from previous testers who have played "The Knights of Aradamar":

I have now played the game several times in various stages of development. The first version already worked well, but over the years, the game has evolved incredibly and is a lot of fun and exitement every time. I usually prefer games with a shorter playtime, but this game is exceptional and seems to have an impact on the perceived flow of time.
Kim Hoffelner
Best friend for over 44 years
The multitude of characters, power and event cards together with 170 different knights make the game incredibly variable. No two games are the same and time is forgotten from the very first minute you start playing.
Patrick Meier
Betatester
The Knights of Arandamar is a very atmospheric game in which you always have to be on your guard against power-hungry fellow players. It is quite extensive and complex, but not difficult to understand.
Olaf Bentke
Betatester
I lasered the tableaus for the provinces and harbours as well as for the towers and castles for the prototype and was very excited about the first test game. It was tough and I was on the verge of becoming a supplicant. But I'll definitely be back for another round of testing.
Florian Manke
Labour colleague and Betatester
We got to know Ullrich and his prototype at the Brett Convention in Hamburg and the four of us played a short introductory round. We were so enthusiastic that two of us drove 240 kilometres 6 weeks later, to play the game properly again. We had a lot of fun again and will definitely be ordering the game as soon as the Kickstarter-Campaign starts.
