biography
Jacques Zeimet started developing games in the mid-1990s. In the beginning, he concentrated on games of skill such as Bamboleo and Hamster Roll , which each involved placing pieces of wood on a moving platform or roll and trying to keep them stable by balancing them. Fast-paced card games followed later, including the cockroach poker game , which was released by Drei Magier Spiele in 2004 and was included on the recommendation list for Game of the Year in the same year . In a similar presentation, Schmidt Spiele released other games under the label Drei Magier, such as cockroach salad , cockroach soup , tarantula tango , cockroach dance and in 2017 the bluff board game cockroach duel . The game Geistesblitz , released in 2011 , the game Die fiesen 7 released by the publisher Drei Hasen in der Abendsonne in 2015 and the game Dodelido released in 2017 were also recommended by the game of the year association.
