Why this game night is fun to color

Five family members in striped party hats sit around the table, eyes on the game board. On the board are a little castle, trees, tiny houses, game pieces and even a car. Two dice and a stack of cards sit at the front. Round kawaii faces and clean lines make it easy even for the youngest colorers.

Board games – a very old pastime

People have played board games for thousands of years – even in ancient Egypt. On New Year's Eve, games are extra popular because they make the wait for midnight fly by. Here's a neat dice trick: the dots on opposite sides always add up to seven. Check it out – 1 is across from 6, and 2 is across from 5! In Germany, many families also play a fun fortune game with melted wax on New Year's Eve.
