LUCKY KITTY: DON’T LOSE THE THREAD!

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER

A basket full of yarn is a real playground for kittens! In Lucky Kitty, players take on the role of playful kittens having fun with a basket of tangled threads. Draw a card and see which colors you need! Pull the yarn you want and be the first to complete your collection.

Oh no, you found a knot? You lose your turn! No knot? The yarn is yours: add it to your collection and complete it before the other kittens!

Lucky Kitty is an adorable game for children aged 5 and up. Little kitten, will you find your thread?

Number of players: 2 to 4
Recommended age: 5+
Game duration: about 10 minutes

A_WAY: A SPACESHIP RACE FULL OF TWISTS AND TURNS!

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER

The Quazarys galaxy is waiting for you to join its legendary spaceship race! In a_way, your goal is to reach your base before everyone else… while disrupting your opponents’ routes along the way!

Travel from station to station by following the arrows on the board, but be careful: a clear path can quickly turn into a space trap. Using your Exploration cards, create new routes to keep moving forward and surprise your rivals. Need to slow someone down? Action cards let you rotate, move, or remove cards to change the course of the race! The game’s big twist: when several cards belong to the same faction, you can play them simultaneously to unleash powerful winning combos!

So, are you ready to find your way to victory?

Number of players: 2 to 4
Recommended age: 10+
Game duration: about 20 minutes

WOMBAT TOWER: DEFEND THE WOMBAT TOWER!

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER

Alert at Wombat Tower! An army of Attackers is approaching, and only your team can stop the invasion!

In this cooperative game, join forces to defend the tower. Each turn, observe the battlefield and discuss with your teammates to identify the most dangerous enemies. Stay alert: if the Attackers reach the tower, the game is lost!

Rotate the tower in the right direction, then roll the dice inside it to try to push back the invaders. Every roll can bring surprises: some results trigger actions that eliminate even more enemies, while others make things harder by spawning new Attackers .

Will you be able to repel every wave of enemies and save Wombat Tower?

Number of players: 1 to 4
Recommended age: 6+
Game duration: about 15 minutes

NOT SO FAST: SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER

The garden gates are open… and everyone is rushing for the best vegetables! But in all this chaos, charging ahead isn’t always the best strategy. Will you know when to wait and claim the finest rewards?

In this vegetable race, guide your hare and your tortoise through the crowd without revealing your colors to the other players. Watch every move, bluff your opponents, and choose the perfect moment to leave the commotion and enter the garden.

Every decision can make the difference. So, are you ready to arrive… at just the right time?

Number of players: 2 to 4
Recommended age: 8+
Game duration: about 20 minutes

Got Five is available in France !

Team BO — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 14:25:47 +0000

In the family of deduction games, I present GOT FIVE! Discover its colorful and clever tiles that are sure to get you thinking! Put your brain to work and be the first to find your 5 secret numbers to win!

WHO WILL SAY “GOT FIVE !” FIRST?

DISCOVER THE NEW DEDUCTION GAME BY YOANN LEVET:

Immersive components
Simple rules and fast-paced games
An addictive experience that will keep you coming back to uncover your sequence of secret numbers!

The goal?

Behind your screen, become a master of deduction! As the game progresses, cross off on your slate the numbers you think are not in your secret sequence. Your slate serves as your guide throughout the game, so stay sharp and think logically to avoid missing anything!

When it’s your turn, perform these two actions:

Reveal a random tile, then
Choose one of the revealed tiles to make a deduction by asking one of the following two questions: ask your opponents to place the tile among your secret numbers on your rack, or ask them to compare your tile based on its point value.

These questions provide valuable clues about your secret sequence. Little by little, things will start to become clearer. When you think you’ve figured it out, shout “Got Five!” and announce the numbers you’ve found. If you’re correct, you win the game—otherwise, you lose!

Games last around 15 to 20 minutes and are played with 2 to 4 players. The game is easy to pick up thanks to its simple rules.

Find GOT FIVE in your local game stores, as well as at retailers such as Cultura, ESPRIT JEU, and Philibert.

Discover our 3 upcoming new releases: On the Trail, Ice Split, and Shout the Clue

Team BO — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:47:49 +0000

on the trail: who’s up for a trail run?

Release planned for may

If you’re familiar with sports, you probably already know what trail running is. For beginners (and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that), trail running is simply running in the great outdoors.

Don’t worry, On the Trail doesn’t require you to be a top athlete! You will cross the finish line, that’s for sure. Playing solo or with two players, make your way to the final Aid Station by using Course cards. Your journey won’t be easy, as different stages can slow you down. If you pass through an Incident stage, draw an Incident card and apply its effect immediately. Rely on Aid Stations to save you and discard your Incident cards.

The great thing about On the Trail is that it doesn’t require any physical preparation! Set up the game and prove yourself!

Number of players: 1–2
Recommended age: 8+
Game duration: about 15 minutes

Ice Split: who will have the best ice cream display?

Release planned for June

Have you always dreamed of being an ice cream vendor so you can eat as much ice cream as you like? Now you can with Ice Split! Discover this fun and refreshing game where you build your own display using your favorite ice cream flavors.

The goal of Ice Split is to score the most points by completing objectives using your Flavor cards. To do this, you have two options: play your cards on the Objective side to set goals, or on the Flavor side to complete them. For example, you might choose the objective “Have a majority of chocolate-flavored ice cream” to earn 4 points.

Which flavors will you choose?

Number of players: 2–4
Recommended age: 8+
Game duration: about 15 minutes

SHOUT THE CLUE : get ready to guess like crazy!

Release planned for June

Looking for your next cooperative game? Discover Shout the Clue, a game where you’ll have to guess words using clues given by your teammates.

Each round, one player becomes the Decoder and must guess as many words as possible within a limited time. The other players, called Informers, must help the Decoder by giving clues under a specific Constraint. These constraints can be things like verbs, sound effects, or even shapes. You’ll need to use both logic and imagination to get the words across despite the imposed constraint!

In Shout the Clue, everyone gives clues at the same time, and the round can quickly turn into real chaos!

Number of players: 3–8
Recommended age: 8+
Game duration: about 15 minutes

We’ll be telling you more soon about the other upcoming games like Lucky Kitty, Wombat Tower, a_way, and Next Station Berlin!

Stay tuned, more details coming soon on our website!

Welcome to Magicaboo, a kigs game where the country’s greatest magicians gather for the annual magic tournament!

Here’s how it works: 10 objects are placed in the center of the table, covered with a magical scarf, while picture tiles are arranged face-up in a circle. The magician must feel for an object under the scarf, select one, and—while chanting “MA-GI-CA-BOOO!”—make it disappear.

The spectators must then identify the missing object and quickly place their hand on the corresponding tile. Observation, speed, and intuition are key to winning!

Taco Kitten Pizza nominated for Kinderspiel des Jahres 2024

Team BO — Wed, 19 Jun 2024 09:41:48 +0000

Good news just in: Taco Kitten Pizza has been nominated for the prestigious award alongside Magic Keys by Happy Baobab and Große kleine Edelsteine by Schmidt Spiele.

As with Next Station London last year, this nomination recognizes the work of many people, and we’d like to congratulate them: authors Dave Campbell and Thierry Denoual, illustrator Simon Douchy, the Blue Orange editorial team and German distributor Asmodee.

Taco Kitten Pizza is the children’s version of our best-selling Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, joining a range of 4 games localized in many countries.

This game has been designed with our youngest players in mind: more accessible in terms of rules, but as fun as ever! We’re delighted to see that it caught the jury’s attention, and we’d like to thank them for this nomination. We look forward to repeating Dragomino’s feat in 2021.

Receiving a second Kinderspiel would be much more than just another award, it would be an international recognition of our expertise in children’s play.

To watch the video announcement of the nominees again, click here.

See you on July 21st in Berlin for the result!

A discard and observation game adapted to 4 yearS old
