Nacht der magischen Schatten
Watch shadows dance past a screen and work out which creature was never there.
Who it's for
Families with children from around four who love anything involving light and shadow, and adults who enjoy watching kids beat them at observation.
Not for you if…
You want a game rather than a beautifully staged toy, since the decisions are minimal. It is also barely known outside Germany and hard to obtain.
Vibe's take
Hushed and slightly magical, with the lamp doing most of the atmospheric work. Short rounds, wide eyes.
About this game
Witches, trolls and elves dance around the campfire, but you only see their shadows on a screen. One player turns the disc inside the shadow box while everyone else watches the silhouettes glide past and tries to work out which creature never appeared.
