PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

The devil of a stacking game. It couldn’t be easier: my discs should reach the opposite end of the line – the target is just seven steps away. But after every turn, everything has changed: the number of my stacks, the heights, the steps in a turn, even the length of the line can alter...

Then my opponent advances towards me with his discs, always putting me off course. The stroll becomes a precarious walk on eggshells... 27 is a minimalist strategy game for two stacking artists who are ready to alter their strategies with every turn.

BLOCKS

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

Simply take: one block...

We’ve all played with blocks as kids. We built towers and stairways, and we loved to topple them again. A great game!

Who would have thought you can also play complex strategy games with simple building blocks?

BLOCKS are the proof! All you need is a set of 40 beautiful wooden blocks in two colours. But the blocks are real puzzles – their special dimensions create the basis for two exciting building games. A tactical and haptic delight!

COPA is more than a game. 18 beautiful wooden bowls made of beech, maple and walnut and a box full of white beans make easy and variable repertoire for four different games. Each of the four games of COPA has its own character, because each comes from a different game discipline. Due to its diversity, COPA is a family game as well as a two-person game.

KAITO
KAITO

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

Two samurai play their favourite game. The aim is disarming the opponent by capturing all the weapons. Aided by the master thief, Kaito, they seize the rival’s helmets and swords and the valuable emblem of his clan. These treasures enable them to buy back the weapons that were previously seized. But the crucial thing is the players’ skill at using the master thief…

KAITO is an ingenious strategy game for two players. Only one Kaito piece is at hand for both players to take turns at removing the rival’s tiles. Everything depends on where the Kaito piece is in the game field when it changes hands. Players must be all-knowing and have the skill to catch out the rival to thwart his plans. A majestic and minimalist tactical game that is enthralling till the end.

KULAMI
KULAMI

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

Kulami, a two-player abstract strategy game, is played on several wooden tiles of different sizes, which are put together in a random fashion to form the board. Players place their pieces on the squares on the tiles. The placement of the previous piece dictates the rows in which the next piece may be placed.

The goal is to claim as many tiles as possible by occupying the majority of squares on a tile. Bonus points can be gained by completing rows or areas.

LINJA
LINJA

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

The playing area comprises seven bamboo sticks laid side by side. The pathways start and finish in front of and behind the sticks. 2 x 12 pieces are placed in position and the challenge can begin. Each player attempts to move his/her pieces across to the other side of the field as quickly as possible. The trick: the distance each piece can travel gets nearer and further away depending on the number of pieces travelling with a player in each respective row. If you are skilful enough to plan in advance, it’s possible to advance across the entire board! The name of the game in Linja is to make the best of an ever-changing configuration. At the end, as soon as the black and red pieces have moved past each other, the players count up who collected the most sticks.
LINJA is a tactical challenge game with simple game materials and often a surprising outcome.

NONAGA
NONAGA

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

Duel at close quarters

Six game tokens are moved on the small game field. The aim is simple: the tokens should connect with each other. The first player to place his personal coloured tokens on neighbouring discs is the match winner. But the discs are also movable! After each turn, a disc is relocated and the best laid plan can already be thwarted.
NONAGA is a brilliant mini strategy game for two players. A dance at close quarters when the leader is not allowed to hand over control. Minimal materials, full concentration, surprising twists!

PALAVAN
PALAVAN

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

A paradise island landscape is regrettably separated into different pieces. The aim is to connect the islands again!

At the basic level, the South Seas puzzle has multiple solutions and as many spellbinding panoramic views of the island. A player can choose to set the goal higher in challenging game variants in search of the perfect island.

PALAVAN is a mind-teasing game of solitaire. And there’s more! In the duo version, players take turns to place their tiles. The object is to lay out all personal tiles and to make life difficult for the opponent. Life can sometimes get mean, even in an island paradise ...

POK

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

Triangle, circle, square – the dice tell how often each symbol should be shown in the round of strategic offers. All players choose their symbols in secret. When their hands are opened, the score is counted. Now, it’s obvious who has outfoxed his opponents and is allowed to hand over his counter. Whoever overdoes it, or doesn’t risk enough, must take back his counter. A new round, a new challenge – the player who got rid of all his counters is the poker king!

POK is a sly, entertaining game of bluff for everybody who likes to think outside the box.

RETTET RAPUNZEL

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

How can we free Rapunzel from her dark tower? No, not by climbing up her braids of hair! We simply deconstruct the tower, piece by piece. By defying all logic, we don’t start at the top but at the bottom of the tower! Using a wooden disc, we perfect our aim to knock out the tower piece at the base – but without the tower collapsing!

It’s all because of the law of gravity. Of course, not every go is successful – and that’s half the fun … After all, the other players also want their turn. Who will bring Rapunzel safely down to terra firma?

RINGO
RINGO

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

The trail of the rings.

Find four! That’s a familiar game, but it’s unusual to see such an original game variant: the field has eight red and blue rings. The player on turn places one of his discs in any random ring and moves it somewhere else. The object is to align four discs or four rings of a player’s colour. Ingenious and original moves in RINGO are easy to learn. The strategy levels overlap, the game field fluctuates and only the player whose discs cleverly follow the trail of the rings will align the winning four.

SCHNIPP TRICK
SCHNIPP TRICK

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

The small wooden skittle was still standing on its disc. After a skilful puck shot the disc slides away, while the skittle remains proudly standing on the tabletop! It’s down to the law of inertia – and, of course, the shooter’s skill.

At the start of the match, ‘all ten’ proudly stand on their round disc-plinths. Ready for the first puck-shot at the discs! The player who shoots a disc from under a skittle, yet without making it fall over, is allowed to collect the free skittle. If the skittles tumble, the shooter goes away empty-handed. The round of flick shots continues until the highest scoring red skittle is collected. SCHNIPP-TRICK is an entertaining and exciting skittles match. The smoother the table, the faster the puck glides!

AIM OF THE GAME

Thirty red and black animals meet in the tightest space and in a randomly arranged pattern. With their nimble moves, players try to “eat” as many of the opponent’s animals as possible, and to keep alive their own animals. The only thing that counts is what remains at the end.

VOLTERRA
VOLTERRA

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

In medieval times in Volterra, Tuscany, it was custom for rival families to compete to construct buildings. The higher the tower, the wealthier the family. To this day, the vestiges of this contest – the ‘dynasty towers’ – remain visible in many Tuscan towns.

Wealth is not important in the tactical game VOLTERRA. Here, the towers rise upwards thanks to the tactical skill of the master builders. The pieces in play are stacked on top of each other, step by step. The play counters do their utmost to defend their own-coloured towers. Building continues on the shrinking play area until no counters can move. Now, who is sitting atop the highest tower?

ZWOGGEL
ZWOGGEL

PRICE INCREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

The art of setting a “Zwoggel” trap!

Zwoggels are cute little creatures that live under stones, but nobody wants to stumble across three identical ones. Why? Because then players must collect one of the three – and if this happens for a third time, the player is out of the game. Everyone creates nice Zwoggel traps and hopes that opponents fall into it. The object is simple: flip over two cards, get lucky or unlucky, arrange three new cards face down and hope that the next player falls into the trap. As soon as three unicolour Zwoggels smile at each other in sequence, they’ve got you! The player who manages to keep away the little beasties will be the only survivor at the end.

The player who throws matching colours can land one of the coveted medallions with a fish trio. Which additional dice can players throw? Which trio is the easiest to catch?

The Chocolate Game

Dark, white and milk chocolate join in the contest to win the chocolate crown!

Who can arrange the tastiest chocolate pieces in adjacent layers? Who is nasty enough to keep nibbling opponents’ chocolate? Who has still got one of the coveted smarties at the end, and can make the deciding move? SCHOKOLY is a connection game that needs skill. Things can also get nasty when lots of “sweet” cards are in play. Two to four ‘choc-o-strategists’ make even bigger chocolate bars in a bid to fend off choc-attacks from other varieties. Four players, but only three chocolate varieties?? No problem! The same rules apply as for three players. Now, each player chooses a chocolate variety. Two players enter a duel or make a team of four to practise new tactics: the third chocolate variety is declared a ‘neutral’ colour. Skilfully surrounding the neutral zone with a player’s variety of chocolate pieces makes the creation of a personal choco-emporium possible! Whoever wins control of the largest chocolate area is crowned king of the sweetest empire.

BLACK CAT is an amusing and exciting memory game in which the mice must watch the paws of the cat very carefully.

PRICE DECREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

SIX is a tactical configuration game which ends up completely without a game plan.

Step by step, the field takes shape by placing the hexagonal pieces next to each other. The aim is to place six pieces of your own colour in one of three winning configurations: a row, triangle or cross. The red and black honeycomb pattern that spreads out between the two players has got it all. The challenger must always keep his opponent in view and at the same time, ‘knit’ his own victory, if possible, without being found out. For practised players, who put down all 38 pieces, the game goes into a second round.

Now, the rules change, the excitement rises and the race is on to find out who will make the first six-series? SIX is a hexagonal configuration game for brilliant lateral thinkers.

ZAUBERTRANK DER VIER ELEMENTE
ZAUBERTRANK DER VIER ELEMENTE

PRICE DECREASE FROM 01.03.2024 ON

FIRE, WATER, EARTH and AIR

– the symbolic four elements are evoked in the wizards’ competition to brew the most powerful magic potion.

All the ingredients, which are needed to make the elixir, are arranged in a magic hexagon: toadstools, spiders’ webs, dew drops and many others and, of course, the essential tools like a mortar and pestle, bellows, magic wand or the book of magic spells. With the help of the moving wizards’ hats, the players can collect the valuable objects, so gradually dissolving the game field as they make their moves. Large and small islands are formed that can only be accessed by smart jumps with the wizards’ hats.

Each go, it is important to think carefully about which of the four hats to move, since many objects are essential; besides, there are coveted power stones for particular combinations. Whoever can hypnotize fellow players at the right moment can make a big catch. When the hexagon is emptied of all the ingredients, it becomes obvious who has brewed the strongest potion.

Zaubertrank der vier Elemente (Magic Potion of the Four Elements) is a tactical collection game with artful game materials that demands from the players a good overview, skillful timing and sometimes a hint of meanness.

Two game variants for advanced players use powerful element discs and secret mission cards to make the rounds even more enthralling.
