Three magician games
Drei Magier Spiele was a small German game publisher and has been a children's game brand of the Berlin publishing house Schmidt Spiele since 2008 .
history
Drei Magier Spiele was founded in 1994 in Uehlfeld, Franconia by Kathi Kappler , Johann Rüttinger and Rolf Vogt . In 2003 the small company first entered into a sales cooperation with the Schmidt Spiele publishing house . In 2008 Drei Magier was completely absorbed in the Schmidt Games; the Berlin publishing house took over all rights and obligations so that the name lived on. The founders wanted to retreat to the less strenuous subject of writing and designing children's books and shortly afterwards founded the children's book publisher Drei Hasen im Abendsonne , but in 2012 they got back into the development of children's games.
