Bomb Busters

Hisashi Hayashi | Nominated for Spiel des Jahres | 2025

A bomb is ticking! The surrounding area is cordoned off, the residents leave their homes and our team is called to defuse the bomb. At the site of the threat, we find the bomb with lots of cables, which we now have to cut one by one – but we musn’t cut a red cable. 

Flip 7

Eric Olsen | Nominated for Spiel des Jahres | 2025

Whether on the train, at a restaurant, or in a bar — you can gamble anywhere, and in „Flip 7“, we do just that. One by one, we flip cards in front of us and add up their values. But beware: if the same number appears twice, you bust and earn no points for the

Krakel Orakel

7 Bazis | Nominated for Spiel des Jahres | 2025

In the cooperative game „Krakel Orakel“, we draw given terms while the other players try to guess which word cards were not illustrated. The challenge in this drawing task: our drawing boards are filled with scribble lines — and our drawings may only follow these lines. Within this predefined chaos, we try to spot and

Agent Avenue

Christian Kudahl and Laura Kudahl | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2025

Two retired intelligence agents just can’t give up spying: In the sleek „Agent Avenue“, they try to expose their opponent. To catch them on the game board, they recruit colourful characters from the neighborhood for their own card display — while trying to sneak useless people into the opponent’s team. Whoever catches the other wins.

Castle Combo

Grégory Grard and Mathieu Roussel | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2025

Finding the right people is key — in life and in „Castle Combo“. We assemble a grid of nine cards featuring characters from medieval castle and village life. These residents need to be combined cleverly in order to turn their abilities into victory points: collect matching coat-of-arms colors, own specific card types, or gather as

Cities

Phil Walker-Harding and Steve Finn | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2025

Whether it’s Venice or Sydney, Barcelona or Buenos Aires – in „Cities“, we compete to develop new districts in eight iconic metropolises. In doing so, we aim to appropriately mirror each city’s unique character. Each new district is built within a fixed grid of nine building plots. On these, we construct colorful buildings that can

Foxy

David Spada | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2025

Which animals have we seen so far? Two chickens, three pigs, and a cat? Or was it three pigs, two cats, and one chicken? And what about the dolphins and rabbits? Some might already be shaking their heads skeptically — and they’d be missing out on a clever little memory game. In „Foxy“, we reveal

Perfect Words

Paul-Henri Argiot | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2025

How many descriptive words does it take for a group to find common ground? And what happens to an initial association when other players suddenly add unexpected words? In „Perfect Words“, we aim to achieve the greatest possible overlap of meaning in ten rounds, as we evaluate the rows and columns that intersect like in

Sherlocks Spürnasen (The Animals of Baker Street)

Dave Neale and Clémentine Beauvais | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2025

The Three Investigators or the Famous Five — groups of young detectives have always been popular. „Sherlocks Spürnasen“ brings this beloved theme to life in a delightfully charming way. We play a team of animal friends assisting the master detective in Victorian London on his hunt for criminals. As a bird, frog, spider, and mouse,
