The new Zoch game "Piazza Rabazza" literally caused a stir. Because the whole town shakes when pizza maker Pino kneads his dough. Then the inhabitants look forward to Luigi, who delivers the freshly steaming delicacies on his motor scooter. "Piazza Rabazza" by Zoch, the children's game with the wobbling walls, lasts an entertaining 30 minutes and was invented by Guido Hoffmann and Jens-Peter Schliemann. The spirited Italian illustrations were penned by Dennis Lohausen. Depending on age and playing experience, there are two variants in which either one or four pizzas can be delivered per turn. "Piazza Rabazza" is action-packed fun that requires skill, concentration, speed and clever planning, not only from children.

In the children's game "Appenzell Castle", resourceful mice want to assemble a delicious collection of cheeses. But it's not so easy, because the floor of the castle moves, the pieces of cheese are well hidden under roofs and there are holes you shouldn't fall through. More than 100,000 copies of the classic game by Zoch have been sold worldwide. It won the German Games Prize as "Best Children's Game" and was on the "Game of the Year 2007" recommendation list. Now the award-winning Merk game for two to four children aged six and up is back as a relaunch.
