Especially now in the cold season, games are very popular for young and old and provide lots of fun and entertainment at home. Especially on New Year's Eve, games with the whole family or with friends are an exuberant pastime. The retailers in Karlsruhe city center are waiting to provide you with lots of exciting, tricky, funny or curious games.

Spielepyramide Karlsruhe - the games temple with rental shop in Karlsruhe

Covering over 450 square meters, the games pyramid with its two floors at Fritz-Erler-Straße 9 is the address for all games enthusiasts in Karlsruhe and far beyond the region. Whether it's popular board game classics, the latest exit games or games for children and young people - puzzle and
game fans get their money's worth here. The special feature for all those who want to try out games is the game rental of the games pyramid. Here, people aged 16 and over can take any game home with them for a rental fee (rental fee plus deposit), which varies depending on the game. Simply register online or in the store and you will then receive the desired game for a rental fee of €2.50 plus a minimum deposit of €5 per rental week or part thereof (Wednesday to Tuesday).

Classics provide a lot of fun - also in the Karlsruhe
game rounds

If you prefer strategy and planning and have plenty of time on your hands, you should look for the good old classic games at the Karlsruhe retailers:

• Monopoly
• Settlers of Catan
• Game of life
• or the all-time classic: Mensch ärgere dich nicht

And strategy games are also an entertaining way to pass the time with friends and family, making a holiday afternoon or even the time until midnight fly by. 

Exciting games for the youngest Karlsruhe residents
Karlsruher

Even the youngest members of the family naturally want to join in the guessing, puzzling and playing. Here
a visit to the heart of the city center is worthwhile at Kinderglück. Here you will find games suitable for all ages: "The Kluster magnetic game (also known as magnetic chess), is a game with string and strong magnets that ensures a good mood from the age of four, right up to old age, when the magnets click together," explains Hannah Stork from Kinderglück. "Bandido is also a great, cooperative card game for ages 6 to 99, in which we work together to prevent the bandit from breaking out. With each move, new tunnel paths are created, which must be closed or discovered with a flashlight. This creates a network of tunnels on the table and either the bandit breaks out at the end or we have managed to close the tunnels together," she adds. Cars, the new racing track from Haba, is also very popular, where you can first assemble the road parts and then let the little cars drive with a flywheel motor - and preferably over the ski jump. The sustainable material with a high recycled content is particularly popular and is suitable for children from kindergarten age. "The Hustle Cast puzzle games - super tricky with crazy designs and therefore great fun for cold days at home - are also a great way to pass the time," says Hannah.

Whether with one of the classic games, the Game of the Year 2024 "SKY TEAM" or a game of plan
and strategy: with the right game, nothing stands in the way of a family holiday and an exciting New Year's Eve.
 

We hope you have lots of fun playing, puzzling and laughing!
