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

Mix Fix

Andrew Lawson, Jack Lawson | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

“Fishshipfishsheep”? Or is it “sheepfishfrogship”? Whatever. “Peter Piper …” is a novice’s exercise compared to the tongue twisters in the hilarious dice and concentration game “Mix Fix”. Here the dice and cards show pictures of fish, ships, sheep and frogs. Everyone is trying to get rid of cards as soon as they can, but this

Move & Twist

Kerstin Wallner, Klaus Miltenberger | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2013

Cute ladybirds crawl quickly up flower stems, trying to be first to reach the beautiful blossoms at the top. Piece by piece, each player chooses individual stem and blossom cards to lay down and build his own complete flower. But first, on each card a dexterity test using five small wooden ladybirds awaits the player.

Klong!

Paul Dennen | Recommendation list Kennerspiel des Jahres | 2018

We all know the type: the one clumsy oaf in the action movie who just at the wrong moment runs into something with a huge noise and attracts the monster’s attention. In Clank!, the players are all such clumsy oafs. They venture down into the maze-like dungeon, where legendary treasure is waiting, guarded by a

Kingdomino

Bruno Cathala | Spiel des Jahres | 2017

Players take on the role of Lords seeking new lands to expand their kingdom. As with “Dominoes”, these new lands must match the landscape tiles that have already been played. You need to create large areas of the same landscape type. But these will only score points if there is at least one crown on

Las Vegas

Rüdiger Dorn | Nominated for Spiel des Jahres | 2012

Las Vegas is the place to gamble: you roll your eight dice and place all the dice of one number onto the matching casino, so the dice showing a five onto casino number five. Each of the six casinos offers vastly different winnings. That’s why you need tactics, luck and a strong nerve: who’ll be
