🎲 Sustainable Gaming Fun from Knobelholz: Classic & Modern Board Games

A great board game brings people together, creates shared experiences, and ensures unforgettable moments around the dining table. At Knobelholz, we combine this tradition with timeless design and consistent sustainability. Our product range includes popular classic games as well as modern in-house creations – made from high-quality, renewable wood that not only feels fantastic but also lasts for generations.

Whether it's a tricky brain teaser for in-between, a creative gift idea, or a cheerful game night with family and friends – our handcrafted wooden games and puzzles make the hearts of game enthusiasts of all ages beat faster. Sustainably made to provide long-lasting joy.

From Classics to New Tactical Hits

Whether time-tested parlor games like Ludjamgo, fast-paced dice games, or clever tactical games like Ajongoo – every age group will find the right game with us. The clean design and tactile elegance of the wood turn every match into a special experience.

Well Thought-Out for On the Go & Home

Many of our board games feature clever folding and storage mechanisms. Game pieces and dice can be securely stored directly inside the game board. This makes them perfect companions for travel, day trips, or spontaneous game nights at friends' places.

Gaming Fun with a Clear Conscience

Because nature is just as important to us as gaming fun, our wood comes from our own sustainable cultivation. Every board game is crafted with the utmost care, ensuring you hold not just a piece of gaming joy, but a truly sustainable natural product in your hands.

🐷 The Latest from Pig Hole Schweinchenspiel®

Our absolute bestseller, the Pig Hole Schweinchenspiel®, continues to bring generations to the table! Originally released by us in 2004, this popular family game has received some exciting updates:

🎲 Multifunctional & Masterfully Crafted: The 3-in-1 Game Box

Each of the 60 small pigs is lovingly handcrafted with attention to detail, making every single one unique. The wooden boxes close with extreme precision – ensuring every little piglet stays safely in place on the go or on the way to game night. This craftsmanship guarantees quality that stands out noticeably from conventional copies, making every game a durable investment.

💡 A Clever Space-Saver for Endless Fun

Our game box is a true master of transformation, combining three popular classic games into one compact design:

• Front Side – Pig Hole: The fast-paced dice and luck game for the whole family on one side of the board.

• Back Side – Ludjamgo (Ludo): Simply flip the game board over to start the popular tactical chase for up to four players.

• Box Bottom – Tic-Tac-Toe: On the underside of the wooden box, you'll find the classic 3x3 strategy grid for quick duels in between.

• Everything Securely Stored: All playing pieces – from the 60 handcrafted pigs and dice to the X and O tokens for Tic-Tac-Toe – fit perfectly inside the box. Nothing rattles around, nothing gets lost: the ideal companion for travel!

Timeless Fun

The rules remain simple and brilliant: Whoever gets rid of their pigs first through clever dice rolls (or sinks them into the "Pig Hole" on a roll of 6) wins. But watch out – if you get unlucky, you have to collect everyone else's pigs if all spaces for a rolled number are already occupied!

🪵 Our Latest Products & Highlights

We have completely modernized our online shop and expanded our range to over 500 unique items. Alongside new challenges, we are setting benchmarks in environmental awareness and craftsmanship:

• New Mechanical Brain Teasers & 3D Interlocking Puzzles:

  We have expanded our collection of tricky lock and disentanglement games. New, highly complex variations of the legendary Devil's Knot challenge even experienced puzzle pros.

• Expanded Game Collections:

  In addition to solo puzzles, we are focusing more on premium board and travel games for groups. This includes the popular Ajongoo, a color-dice chess for up to 4 players that combines tactical depth with great family fun.

🌱 Sustainability Firsthand: Own Plantations Since 2009

For us, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it is a core company principle. All new products are consistently made from sustainable Samanea wood (also known as Suar or Rain Tree wood). The rich, high-contrast grain resembles mahogany, turning every game into a unique decorative piece.

• In-House Cultivation for Nearly Two Decades:

  We have been planting and cultivating Samanea trees on our own plantations since around 2009. This gives us complete control over environmentally friendly and resource-conserving forestry.

• Professional Harvesting by Tree Specialists:

  Instead of rapid deforestation, we rely on maximum care: experienced tree specialists spend days carefully taking down a single tree piece by piece. This elaborate method protects the surrounding ecosystem and ensures the timber is harvested efficiently and gently.

🧩 Flat Thinking, Deep Puzzling: 2D Wooden Puzzles & Tiling Games

At first glance, two-dimensional tiling games often look simple and manageable – but don't let the flat form fool you! As soon as the first wooden pieces hit the table, the true challenge reveals itself. Arranging geometric shapes correctly requires brainpower, patience, and a keen eye for detail.

• Classics Rediscovered (Tangram & Geometric Tiling Games):

  Countless figures, patterns, and silhouettes emerge from just a few basic shapes. They are not only an ideal brain workout for adults, but also playfully foster spatial awareness, concentration, and mathematical intuition in children.

• Precision Work in a Frame (Frame & Flat Puzzles):

  The goal is clearly defined, but getting there is tough: A set number of often unusually shaped wooden pieces must fit seamlessly into a wooden frame. What starts as a simple matching game quickly turns into a captivating puzzle of patience where millimeter precision and logic decide.

• Tactile Experience & Durability:

  Unlike paper or plastic puzzles, our 2D wooden games impress with their unique feel. The smooth, velvety wooden surfaces feel warm and pleasant in your hand, turning every puzzle session into a calming, tactile pleasure.

Tip: 2D tiling games are great for a relaxing mental break – whether solo to unwind or together around the table!

🧱 Spatial Thinking Required: 3D Brain Teasers & Cube Puzzles

For everyone looking for a real challenge and who loves thinking in three dimensions: Our 3D logic games take you straight to the master class of puzzling! Pure observation and trial-and-error aren't enough here – perseverance, logical understanding, and fine motor skills are required.

• 3D Stars, Pyramids & Interlocking Knots:

  These fascinating wooden structures are true works of statics and geometry. The task often sounds simple: Take it apart, then put it back together. However, taking it apart quickly reveals a tricky mechanism, and reassembling it requires the exact sequence of steps. A single wrong angle, and the structure won't hold!

• Layer & Cube Puzzles (Soma Cubes & More):

  Building a perfect complete cube or a complex structure from various 3D blocks is fantastic training for spatial visualization. Every piece locks into another – a tactile game of patience that can captivate puzzlers of all ages for hours.

• Fascination with Wood & Decor:

  The best part? A solved 3D wooden puzzle is not only a personal success, but also a stylish eye-catcher on your desk, bookshelf, or living room table that is guaranteed to tempt guests to try it out for themselves.
