In Magic Dwarf, you want to race the sorcerer's apprentices as quickly as possible to the end of the path to collect crystals for their magic wands from the dwarf Rupert, but you must avoid the witches to do so.
To set up, place the game boards to create a colorful path, place all of the apprentices on the end of the path opposite the mine, and scatter the cards face down around the table. The first player reveals two cards, then uses one of them to move the depicted character — apprentice or witch — to the next field on the path of the same color. The remaining card stay face up, then the next player reveals a new card, chooses one of the two, etc. If all of the sorcerers' apprentices make it to the mine before the witches, the players all win together.
Magic Dwarf can be played at different levels of difficulty, and it can also be played competitively in addition to co-operatively.

Each player controls colored mice and tries to collect pieces of cheese in Castle Appenzell. On their turn, players spend action points to put new mice into play, reveal corridors in the castle, move their mice around the castle, or push a tile into play, which changes the maze of cheese pieces underneath. If two of a single player's mice reach a place with the same kind of cheese showing, the player obtains a piece of this cheese. The first player with 4 different pieces of cheese wins the game.

In a mysterious lake, shimmering gloop spirits are causing mischief, leaving even the fierce octopus to swirl its long tentacles in the water in frustration.
In Glupschgeister, the players are bold and clever ghost hunters who must dive into this underwater world to collect as many gloop spirits as possible — but this is easier said than done as the spirits are confusingly similar, and where once you saw a globe spirit, a dive in the same spot might now reveal a worm spirit instead. Bring a good eye and fast hand to this ghost hunt!

The board shows the Caribbean in the 18th century. Six pirate ships lie in wait on sea, ready to pillage the rich ports or to rob the booty from other ships.
The sea is divided into spaces. Each player is in possession of three safe havens, marked in his color on the board. If only two or three players are playing, the safe havens in the vacant color(s) are treated as normal sea spaces.
The aim of each player is to lure the pirates to deliver treasure crates to one of their own safe havens, and not to the safe havens of the opponents.
The pirate ships do not belong to any player. That is why the players must bribe the pirates each time they want a pirate ship to act on their behalf. And what is the greatest temptation for a Caribbean pirate? Rum of course, barrels full of rum!
In every round the players try anew their best to bribe the pirates. The player who has offered the most rum to a ship gets to move that ship as many spaces as the number of barrels shown on the bribing chip. An active ship can (a) rob a crate from a port or from another ship, (b) reach a crate over to another ship, (c) swap crates with another ship, and/or (d) deliver a crate into a safe haven.
The aim is to have the most doubloons at the end of the game.

The designers of the Kinderspiel des Jahres-winning Nacht der Magier return with another three-dimensional glow-in-the-dark design, this time with vampires getting in on the action. In Vampires of the Night, a vampire hunter has spilled garlic all over the ruins of the vampire's domain. You need to work with the vampire bats to push that garlic out of the castle and make the environment safe for bloodsuckers once again.

Talo, a game for children and families, contains a lot of wooden tiles with which to build, and in the end players want to be the first on top. As co-designer Johann Rüttinger states, "It's a very good game to learn mathematics without learning..."
