Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance | Nominated for Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2026

Four magical objects have been stolen from the school of magic and are now scattered throughout the kingdom. But who took them? As sorcerer’s apprentices, the children strive to unmask the thieving ghost. However, the ghost has its own agenda and is trying to collect the magical objects. But with every object he collects, he

Kleiner Stinker (You Little Stinker)

Elan Lee, Ken Gruhl and Quentin Weir | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2026

A dog-shaped dice cup—where can you find something like that? In “Kleiner Stinker”, there is one, and it captivates children immediately. The goal is to get rid of your own dice. Their sides show bones, which are buried and removed from the game; blanks, which go back into your own supply; and the title character—these

Magische Spiegel (Half-and-Seek)

Kseniya Kuznetsova | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2026

At first, all you see is a picture that doesn’t make any sense. But as soon as you hold a small mirror vertically over it and move it across the abstract drawing, completely new worlds suddenly open up in the reflection. Using the mirror and the card, leaves, bottles, airplanes, and all sorts of shapes

Paleolino

Marco Teubner and Peter Rustemeyer | Recommendation list Kinderspiel des Jahres | 2026

Good things come from above. That’s because Lino the mammoth rolls all the resources the Stone Age village needs down the mountain: wood, stones, berries, and crystals. At the bottom, the village children wait and memorize which resource tokens have rolled into which cave. With these, they build important items for the community: rafts and

Bomb Busters

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
