Kids' Games – board games for children of all agesKids' games contribute to children's development

Kids' games are more than just a pastime. They train memory, cooperation, logical thinking, and social skills – often without the children even noticing. For the youngest, it's about colors, shapes, and simple rules, while older children can be challenged with more strategic elements and problem-solving. Games like Ticket to Ride: First Journey, Codenames Pictures, and Azul are excellent examples of games that are easy to learn but remain fun for a long time.

For both everyday and game night

Whether you're looking for a quick game after dinner or something to bring out on the weekend, there are kids' games to suit. Cooperative games where the whole family works towards the same goal are particularly popular, as are games that encourage creativity and laughter. For children who enjoy puzzles, there are also kid-friendly escape room games like EXIT Kids and Unlock! Kids, where excitement and problem-solving are central.

No. 2: Minecraft: Builders & Biomes (SV)

Just like in the digital Minecraft game, players in "Minecraft: Builders & Biomes" explore the Overworld, build structures, and extract resources. Points are awarded for buildings, as well as for connected land areas with forest, desert, mountains, or tundra on each player's own board. Familiar enemies like Endermen, Creepers, and others appear during the game. They can be defeated using weapons collected on the common game board. Defeating enemies gives players points, as well as other types of rewards. When the resource cube is emptied, layer by layer, points are tallied, and when the third layer is completely gone, the adventure and the game also end. The builder with the most points wins!

No. 3: Hide and Seek in the Safari Park

The animals have hidden in the safari park. Who is fastest at finding the animals on the game board that match the flipped cards? A combination of memory and speed. The game board is built from puzzle pieces, so its appearance changes between games, and there are two sides for different difficulty levels. Read more about the game here

No. 4: Zombie Kidz Evolution (Sv)

Zombie Kidz Evolution is the first legacy game aimed at children; the game is very similar to the 2013 title, Zombie Kidz, but in this edition, things will change rapidly. Legacy games mean that you influence the game; the choices you make in one game carry over as consequences to the next game. This easily creates an engaging story and experiential feeling, perfect for the family. In the game, you players are students in a school that is suddenly subjected to a zombie attack. First, they enter the corridors, and soon after, they block the way into the classrooms. Players must move through the school's rooms and corridors to stop zombies and ensure the school doesn't become overrun with the walking dead. Read more here
