Souvenirs from Beijing after SPIEL: more than a new city

Souvenirs from Beijing gives owners of Oink’s earlier souvenir games a reason to look past the red box: special souvenirs change what you collect. It appeared in the publisher’s SPIEL 2026 lineup, but the fair is over. Check the actual seller before treating that appearance as a route to a copy.

Oink’s October 7 overview placed Beijing among games available in Europe only at events. That is a dated availability statement, not proof that every European retailer has stock today.

The two-coin question

The publisher’s rules summary describes dice-driven bicycle movement and collecting three matching souvenirs. A special souvenir costs two coins; include one in a matching trio and it earns a bonus.

That is the useful distinction for someone who already knows Souvenirs from Venice. Ask whether an extra collection decision warrants another box, rather than buying on the city name alone.

Check the edition before importing

The August 18 announcement set a Chinese debut at DICE CON on August 21–23 and sales at Oink Games TOKYO from August 22. This is not a new October worldwide launch. That announcement lists two to five players, around 30 minutes and ages eight and up, with Chinese and English instructions, not Japanese.

Souvenirs from Beijing spread across a table with souvenir tiles, coins and a Chinese-English reference card.

Confirm the supplied rules, shipping destination and delivered price before paying. No Polish edition or Polish stock is established here.
