Knights Poker

About this board game

Knights Poker is a two-player board game with a 15-minute play time, designed by the world-renowned board game designer Dr. Reiner Knizia.

Described as an artistic fighting game, Knights Poker originally appeared as an original game at GALLERIA6, a board game bar in Nakameguro. The game attracted attention there before being newly released in response to requests from people who wanted to experience it for themselves.

This release presents the game with newly prepared components, giving the original GALLERIA6 title a dedicated form for wider availability. Its compact player count and short playing time make it a focused choice for two people looking for a quick board game experience.

Knights Poker also offers a distinctive story of origin. Rather than debuting through a conventional large-scale release, it first gained recognition as a game created for a specific board game bar setting, then returned in a new release after receiving enthusiastic demand.

Released in 2019, the game reflects Dr. Reiner Knizia’s continuing work across varied board game styles. For players interested in his designs, unusual game origins, or concise two-player experiences, Knights Poker stands out as an artistic fighting game with a direct connection to GALLERIA6.
