Memo Friends

The owl, the fox and the bear like to meet in the forest at the tree trunk next to the toadstool. But sometimes the toadstool sits inside the tree trunk and the fox on top of the stump. Or the owl is in the tree and the bear next to it. Remembering who was here

Swip’Sheep

Are there any wolves around this evening? Yes? Then play your wolf cards from your hand onto the table. Then the wolf can steal from the other players – hopefully they will find sheep, as that’s what wolves like the best. Frustratingly, the sheep don’t find that as fun; they prefer to seek the protection

Tapikékoi?

“Tapikékoi”? Or “Tu as piqué quoi?”, which is French for “What have you pinched”? That’s what the players are trying to find out. This cheekily illustrated game depicts a picture book family idyll: father, mother, daughter, son and a perfect home. Four tableaus depict the kitchen, bedroom, garden and living room, while small cardboard chips

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

Pictures

Building blocks, shoe laces, symbol cards and more. At first glance, the five sets of materials included in “Pictures” couldn’t be more different. Nevertheless they will all be used for the same purpose: players must recreate a photograph so that their opponents are able to identify it amongst all the other photos displayed. This might

Color Brain (Colour Brain)

What colour is a giraffe’s tongue? What do taxis look like in London, New York and Paris? “Color Brain” (“Colour Brain”) is a quiz game with a simple twist: every question can be answered with colours. Each team has an identical set of eleven colour cards. Each question gives a clue to the number of

Spicy

In the fast-paced bluffing game “Spicy”, it’s easy to get your fingers burned. Players take turns to play face-down wasabi, chilli and pepper cards with increasing levels of heat. You can’t always find the right spice in your hand, so you might have to slip some unwanted ingredients into the pot. If your opponents get

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)

Go Slow!

Snails aren’t well known for their racing skills. They crawl almost meditatively across the ground, just taking their time. In “Go Slow!”, however, they too want to know what it’s like to feel the adrenaline of a race coursing through their shell. But not too fast, they’re still staying true to themselves: may the slowest
