Yay!

Heinz Meister | Recommendation list Spiel des Jahres | 2013

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

Iris Rossbach | Nominated for Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

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

Die Quacksalber von Quedlinburg

Wolfgang Warsch | Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2018

Mandrake root, ghost breath and toadstool. As quack doctors, players brew up new potions out of all sorts of unusual ingredients. These potions aren’t prepared according to some strict recipe but rather through pure chance: each player gradually draws ingredients out of their own mixed up bag of supplies. Most of the ingredients have positive

Bim Bamm!

Lukas Zach, Michael Palm | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

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

Ganz schön clever

Wolfgang Warsch | Nominated for Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2018

Players are on the hunt for points in the dice game Ganz schön clever. The more effectively players can use the results of three out of six dice on their score sheet, the more chain reactions they start. The colour of the dice being scored dictates on which area of the sheet you can cross

Kakerlakak

Peter-Paul Joopen | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

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

Haim Shafir, Günter Burkhardt | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

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

Wolfgang Dirscherl | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

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

Heaven & Ale

Michael Kiesling, Andreas Schmidt | Nominated for Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2018

The peaceful idyll of a monastery garden? No way! “Heaven & Ale” is hard work. Players are trying to brew beer – preferably as much as possible and as high quality as possible. To get the necessary resources, players have to place resource and monk tiles in their cloister garden – the shady side is
