And The Kinderspiel des Jahres Winner Is

 

HABA Games’ Dragon’s Breath (Funkelschatz) was named winner of the 2018 Kinderspiel des Jahres, the Best Children’s Game category for the prestigious German game design competition.

Dragon’s Breath is  game for ages 5 and up, and in it you will have four young dragons and one dragon dad, trying to get the most gems out of a ice column filled with them.  That ice column in the game is represented by a stack of rings filled with plastic gems.  Each round the young dragons will pick a gem color that they think will come out of the ice when the dad melts it.  Once they have all picked the dad will pick up the top most ring, allowing some gems to fall off the tower to be collected by the young ones.  There is also some holes in the board that if a gem falls in there, it goes to the dad and he may win.  After all the gems that fell have been collected, the young dragons pick again what color they will collect and the next ring comes off.  This will continue until all the rings are gone and then whoever has the most gems is the winner.

The game is for 2 – 4 players ages 5 and up, and plays in 15 minutes.  MSRP is $19.99.  HABA USA will release the game in North America this summer.
