Korea Boardgames announced that 11 games, first sold at the outdoor board game festival 'Paju Spiel 2026' held in Paju on May 10–11, will be available for official online purchase starting May 18.

One of the key new releases, 'Hitster K-POP,' is a domestic music-focused version of the music quiz board game 'Hitster,' which was introduced at Paju Spiel 2025. The tracklist primarily features Korean songs released since the 1990s, along with modern K-POP hits and songs that fit the current musical context.

Players scan a QR code on a card to guess the release year of the song being played; a dedicated app provides a 30-second preview feature. Other releases include 'Run! Run! Run!', which adds unique character abilities to classic dice-rolling movement, and 'Pokémon Together,' which uses a simultaneous tile-reveal mechanic to create engaging social deduction and competitive gameplay.

New titles with enhanced strategic depth have also been released. 'Abraca... Who?', the sequel to the 2015 'Game of the Month' award-winner 'Abraca... What?', was created by Kim Gun-hee. In this game, players must guess their own identity card—which only others can see—or challenge opponents to a duel.

The addition of a duel system speeds up the early game and incorporates psychological bluffing elements. Also included are three educational board games designed by a middle school science teacher to align with the 8th-grade science curriculum: 'Condensation Game,' based on saturated water vapor and rain formation; '15℃,' a cooperative game about greenhouse gases and global warming; and 'Chemi-Saga,' a cooperative game covering chemical equations and elemental bonding.

Other diverse titles include 'Please!', a card game blending card counting and deduction; 'Down Up,' which uses number cards with different values on the top and bottom; 'Pinball Battle Dome,' a competitive game for up to four players; and 'Yogi,' a party game involving physical movements. To celebrate the launch, Korea Boardgames is running a promotion until May 31, offering a 'Coffee Rush Promo: Cherry Blossom' pack to customers who place orders of ₩30k or more on their official website store.
