Devir

Devir is the leading Spanish publisher of modern board games. They publish and distribute essential market titles in Spain, in addition to their own national catalog with games such as Virus!, Hispania, Mascarade, Carrera de Hormigas, Códex Naturalis, The Mind, and Coup. At Híper Ocio, we are an official authorized point of sale: official guarantee, human customer service, and in-store pickup in Albox by appointment if you live in the Almanzora, Levante Almeriense, or Los Vélez areas.

What distinguishes Devir is the quality of its Spanish editions: careful translations, premium materials (thick boards, wooden tokens, high-grammage cards), and games designed to last for years on the shelf. If you are looking for family games that last more than one play—or a gift for someone who already plays—Devir is a safe bet.
