history
The publishing house was founded in 1987 by managing director Albrecht Werstein and game designer Klaus Zoch . When the company was founded, the first game was released: the Bausack . In 2002, Hermann Hutter joined the company as a new partner, mainly for sales.
The publisher has received many prizes, including the Swiss Games Prize , the spiel gut award in many cases, and the German Games Prize awarded by the gaming audience .
On February 1, 2010 the publishing house was taken over by the Simba Dickie Group , but continued as a brand. In 2015 it was assigned to the Simba-Dickie brand Noris-Spiele and has been managed from Fürth ever since . The Noris-Spiele brand was transferred to Simba Toys GmbH & Co. KG in 2019.
