Many moons ago, one of the raisons d’etre of the original Convivium site was to make some of the original Knizia titles more accessible to the non German-speaking world. These days, sites like boardgamegeek.com proliferate and publishers produce game rules in multiple languages. The translations presented here are derived from the original games – most are now out of print, or have resurfaced in different editions. But if you do come across a second-hand copy, then we hope you will find this page still useful.
