Taïga
The taiga is home to many kinds of animals.
Families of red foxes, porcupines, beavers, snowy owls and caribou
live there, hidden in nature. Sarah and Jacob, two zoologists, are
trying to study them and need to take a closer look. Can you help
them find the hidden animals?
In this memory and deduction game, flip the wooden disks to
reveal the animals hidden below. Keep your eyes open and remember
well your findings!
Taiga presents you with a novel playing system and completely
natural materials of exceptional quality. You will easily be able
to imagine yourself in the middle of the forest with the game's
large pieces of natural wood and its small wooden disks made of
tree branch that serve as counters. Taiga is a game that is perfect
for the entire family. Indeed, it provides a real challenge even
for parents! Whereas children build on their amazing memory skills,
adults can improve theirs and still rely on their logical
abilities.

Paradisio
Tropical forests, white beaches, crystal clear
lagoons… all in the palms of your hands. Piece by piece, you will
create luscious exotic islands. Build your sanctuary but be careful
not to lose it. Think well before making your move to ensure you
win your bit of paradise!
A quick and challenging game, perfect for the beach or just
at home - you'll swear you can hear the sea!
You can play Paradisio anywhere; therefore, it is a perfect game
to take with you on your travels. You will feel as though you
immerse yourself in lagoons of unexplored islands by taking the 16
tiles, all made of wood and superbly illustrated, out of their blue
bag. The players take turns connecting these tiles one to another
and try to be the last to place a landscape tile, in order to win
an island token. The first player to earn 3 island tokens wins the
game. Paradisio is a game for two players that can also be played
as a solitaire game. In both cases, it demands some reflection from
you, but above all, it will make your mind float!
