Seize the game – carpe ludum!

“Life’s too short to play bad games.”

Carpe Ludum is a community for “gourmet” gamers who only have very limited time to spare on their hobby and would like to focus this time only on the best games ever produced.
The Carpe Ludum Codex defines a set of quality criteria a game must meet in order to be featured on this site. Hence, our tagline: Great Games Society.

A few things you will not find on Carpe Ludum, such as:

  • Daily updates with the latest gossip/news of the gaming industry
  • Information about games younger than 3 years (see The Codex for reasons)
  • Unfriendly people. After all, we all want to have fun with our hobby in the limited time we’ve got for it… So why should anyone want to be unfriendly here?
