EuroGames is an outlet to introduce board Games. It was founded as Rexton Games at first in the year 1984.

Euro Games are a publisher of board Games, originally founded as Rexton Games in 1984 to bring out the man-to-man miniature combat game called the Cry Havoc and its expansions. In 1988 Duccio Vitale expanded his company to introduce more board games. He started off by introducing six games that he purchased from the bankrupt Italian gaming company, International Team. At this time the company became EuroGames. EuroGames itself was later purchased by Jeux Descartes, and they remained an imprint of that company until Descartes' bankruptcy. Jeux Descartes's assets were then purchased by French publisher of board games, card games and role-playing games, Asmodée Éditions, who appears to be slowly merging some of Euro Games and Descartes games into their own line.
Some of the known games introduced by Euro Games are the following:
One of the games published by EuroGames is Mare Nostrum which happens to be a board game for 3 to 5 players, designed by Serge Laget and published in 2003 by EuroGames. It was also the name of a 1983 board game in the Fronte Mare series.

Formula Dé is a board game that is just like formula racing (CART, F1 and IRL). It is for two to ten players. It was designed by Eric Randall and Laurent Lavaur and was published by Ludodélire. The rights to the game passed to EuroGames/Descartes Editeur with the collapse of Ludodélire, who in turn were acquired by Asmodée Éditions. Although the game is currently out of print, Asmodée have announced their intention to republish the game by the end of 2006.

Vinci is a board game designed by Philippe Keyaerts. It resembles a diceless variant of Risk with variable special abilities and an original decline mechanic, and is also similar in some ways to History of the World. The game's name, pronounced "Vinki", means "to be conquered" in Latin.
Evo is a German-style board game for three to five players, designed by Philippe Keyaerts and published by Euro Games. The game won the GAMES Magazine award for Game of the year 2002 and was nominated for the Origins Award for Best Graphic Presentation of a Board Game 2000.
