Kleiner Stinker (You Little Stinker)

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)

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

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

Käpt’n Kuck (Isla a la vista)

A treasure island is on the horizon! But as fate would have it, the children only got a quick glimpse at the all-important treasure map. Well, a treasure is a treasure — time to rely on memory. One glance through the spyglass, a brief call — was there a palm tree on the map? Yes?

Syllaba (Syllabus)

Tea-cup. Two steps. Por-ce-lain. Three steps. Or just “tea” for one? With their animal pawns, children go star-hunting across the night sky. But they don’t need dice to move — a look at the picture card their pawn is on is all it takes. A word, related to the picture, determines how many spaces we’re

Lecker Lava

Bon appetit! On the menu tonight is the speciality of the house and the little dragons’ favourite dish: tasty lava direct from the source, a freshly erupting volcano. The game box cleverly conceals this volcano: there is a crater at the top where players can roll dice and then hidden underneath there is the lava,
