Mixtour

Deploying game pieces, building towers, moving towers around: this abstract, strategic game for two players follows known patterns but breaks with the typical rules for such moves. Paramount for the range of a move is not the number of pieces with which the moving tower is built, but rather the height of the tower on

Rondo

Players take ornately carved stone discs from the bag and initially place them on their own racks. In later moves the stones will be placed onto the double-sided game board – on number fields of matching colour and always in a contiguous fashion. How is it possible to collect many points? Several identically coloured stones

Riff Raff

This game of skill is a genuine eye catcher: a big wooden galleon rolls around on a mountainous wave in the game box. Due to its gimbal mounting, it easily gets out of balance and begins to swing to and fro. The higher the cargo is stowed in the yardarms, the sooner it will slide

Yay!

In this dice game the players need not just luck, but also deftness in throwing the dice. Not just the number of pips, but also the position of the three dice in the wooden arena is important. The sum of the pips may only be entered into those of the 64 squares on the board

Mucca Pazza

That´s what happens when the creatures allow themselves to be teleported by the cheeky cow “Mucca Pazza” from the planet “Cowpiter” to the earth: while teleporting them, she presses the forbidden “somersault” button. Suddenly the red cat has the body of the blue pig and the legs of the yellow bird. A good thing the

Bim Bamm!

Memory games for kids are not exactly seldom. “Bim Bamm!” is one of them, but it adds nifty new elements. Both sides of the cards are printed with five different creatures. Each occurs six times, and we are not looking for twins but rather for quintuplets. That would be easy if all players had the

Kakerlakak

Help! A naughty but nimble cockroach whizzes back and forth across the kitchen and drives the chef almost to despair. True to the motto “Place the the cutlery right, and the cockroach will be gone without a fight”, the players as vermin exterminators try to manoeuvre the bug into the trap – without using any

Kuddelmuddel

What a chaotic muddle: 80 cards lie face-down and all higgledy-piggledy around a bell. Three different objects are depicted on the face of each card, for example, a banana, a donkey and an umbrella. Now off we go: All play simultaneously and uncover the cards one by one, which are then laid down in a

Linus, der kleine Magier

Casting of spells needs practise and patience! Little Linus really ought to practice some more, because he accidentally hexed some of his toys. But which ones? The ball, the bat or the cat? Thirty different toy tiles are laid out on the table, with eighteen matching search cards face-up in a stack. The player who´s
