Recommend

The list aims to include most of the games published in Finland which are interesting from a gamer's point of view. So no Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit or Who Wants to be a Millionaire here. Feel free to add the games I've missed. The list is sorted on rank, so you'll see the best games first. There are loads of translations, so if you want to play in Finnish, these are not your only options.

Most common Finnish publishers: Marektoy (imports mostly Kosmos and Winning Moves), Tactic (produce their own games, imports Queen Games), Amo (imports Ravensburger) and Lautapelit.fi (imports gamer games, Hans im Glück and others).

It seems like Lautapelit.fi will print Puerto Rico and Caylus in Swedish as well. Which for us Swedes is great.

Yes, I understood they'll do everything from now on in Finnish, Swedish and possibly in other Scandinavian languages as well. I've heard them talk of Norwegian translations, for example. Games with language-free components, at least - Puerto Rico will probably have Finnish on the other side and Swedish on the other side of the tiles.

I used to own a finnish copy and if I remember correctly there was no translation for the name. It was simply called as 'Civilization'.

Finnish party-type word games come to mind. Alias is probably a brilliant choice.

I think better choice is Finnish edition of iMAgiNiff (Imago). It's much more amusing. And it's little bit easier if you are just learning Finnish.
