Mikkel Bertelsen | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2017

“Goal!” You’ll be able to hear this cry regularly during this wooden table football game. But this particular goal has no posts or crossbar; it’s simply a hole into which the ball needs to roll. And that’s why instead of “goal!” you might instead hear “klack”. This is the sound you’ll hear when someone uses

Kikeribumm

Thierry Denoual | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2017

The chickens are hanging out on their perch. Some are just sitting there, others are on hay bales or wagon wheels. All in all it’s a pretty precarious situation and your job is to clear the perch, piece by piece. “Chickyboom” is one of these rare games that is almost self-explanatory and invites you to
