Die Insel der Mookies (Mooki Island)

Two decks of cards—two players. Two decisions per turn: the left or the right card? The front or the back? On each card, children find beautifully illustrated Mookies from one of five families. Will they choose the Plant Mookie, the Fossil Mookie, or perhaps the Sun Mookie? The chosen card goes to their own pile—with

Kleiner Stinker (You Little Stinker)

A dog-shaped dice cup—where can you find something like that? In “Kleiner Stinker”, there is one, and it captivates children immediately. The goal is to get rid of your own dice. Their sides show bones, which are buried and removed from the game; blanks, which go back into your own supply; and the title character—these

Syllaba (Syllabus)

Tea-cup. Two steps. Por-ce-lain. Three steps. Or just “tea” for one? With their animal pawns, children go star-hunting across the night sky. But they don’t need dice to move — a look at the picture card their pawn is on is all it takes. A word, related to the picture, determines how many spaces we’re

Traumfänger (Dream Catcher)

A guessing game, a story game but above all a wonderfully sumptuous adventure: this is Traumfänger. The most important components – aside from lots of imagination – are square cards and round discs. The former represent nightmares and the latter cuddly toys of different sizes that chase the nightmares away. Children take it in turns

Foto Fish

If you want to photograph fish, you’ll need patience. Or – in the case of “Foto Fish” – a cardboard aquarium. There’s no wild chaotic swimming around here, all the fish stay where they are. You still need to have a good eye, as the dice determine which fish (one, two, more or even none)

Zoo Run

Out of the zoo and onto the racetrack. Thanks to its variable game board, “Zoo Run” is two races in one. In the co-operative variant, up to four older children work together to help the animals escape before the keeper notices anything. Then in the competition for the recent escapees, the daredevil animals jump into
