Dice games
IQ Brain
606134746€3.99
IQ Brain is an educational puzzle game that turns shape matching into a focused board challenge. Differently shaped pieces are placed on the board until they form one continuous surface, so each move has a clear purpose and each finished layout shows the solution at a glance. The compact format and child-friendly design make it easy to bring along for a quiet round during a break or while travelling. Across 60 levels, the core task stays the same while the arrangements become steadily more demanding. That structure gives the game a clear learning curve without changing the basic handling. Logical thinking, concentration and spatial awareness are trained through direct placement on the board, as players test how each shape connects with the remaining space. Because the mechanism is visual and tactile, the challenge stays easy to grasp while still offering room to improve over time. IQ Brain suits many everyday moments where a short, self-contained puzzle fits naturally. It works well in waiting rooms, on long journeys or during small pauses between activities, giving families and friends an educational brainteaser that can be picked up whenever a compact logic task feels right.

100 Dice- and Tossgames
606154308€9.99
100 Dice and Toss Games Collection gathers classic tabletop play into one compact set with 6 dice, a felt-lined dice cup and a Yatzy score pad. The mix of familiar rolling action and score-based play creates fast turns at the table, whether a round starts with a quick throw from the cup or a longer session built around counting and combinations. The set is marked for 1+ players and 8+, making it suitable for solo play as well as rounds with families and friends. The felt inside the cup softens the shake and gives the dice a defined roll out onto the table. The Yatzy pad shows structured scoring fields for number rows and combination results, so each throw can be tracked clearly across several games. With 100 game options named in the collection, the set supports repeated play without relying on a single routine. On a coffee table, at a family gathering or during a game night with friends, the set moves quickly from the first roll to scorekeeping and the next round. The compact components also make it easy to bring out for short sessions when there is time for only a few throws, then continue with longer score-driven play later on.
Children’s games
Bee Yatzy
606012088€14.99
Bee Yatzy is an educational dice game for ages 3+ that brings flowers, bees and first game routines together in a clear, hands-on format. Each round starts with 3 large flower dice, and the rolled symbols are checked against the green strips on a wooden game board. When all 3 flowers match one strip, 1 wooden bee is placed there, creating a visible link between the throw and the next move at the table. The set contains 4 wooden game boards, 9 wooden bees and 3 large dice with blossoms. Each player takes a board, while the bees stay in the centre so every move remains easy to follow. If not all rolled flowers fit a strip, 1, 2 or all 3 dice can be re-rolled, which adds a simple decision without overloading the rules. The first player to place 3 bees on the board wins. The colourful flower rows support counting and symbol comparison, while the wooden pieces are sized for small hands and easy placement. Bee Yatzy suits short rounds with family or friends at the table, especially when first turns in a dice game should stay clear and quick. The bee theme, blossom symbols and straightforward win condition make each round easy to start again, whether for a single game or several rounds in a row.
Yatzy
Yatzy - Playbook
606194305€4.49
Yatzy Playbook keeps classic dice rounds organised with a dedicated score pad for 3120 games and a clear table that supports fast note-taking from the first throw to the final total. With an age recommendation of 6+ and play for 2 or more players, it suits family evenings and game rounds with friends where every roll needs to be tracked cleanly. Each sheet is printed with the familiar upper and lower sections used in Yatzy, including number rows from 1s to 6s, bonus tracking at 63 points, and combination fields such as full house, small straight, large straight and chance. The layout also provides columns for up to 8 games on one page, making it easy to compare results across several rounds. According to the rules shown on the pad, each turn allows up to 3 throws with 5 dice, and the scoring fields are arranged to match that sequence. This makes the playbook a practical companion when combinations need to be entered quickly and totals checked at a glance. On the table, the pad helps keep multiplayer sessions moving by giving every round a fixed place for names, points and end scores. It also works well as a refill-style scoring block for regular Yatzy sessions, whether the game lasts a single match or several 13-round contests in a row.
Yatzy
Yatzy Maxi Playbook
606194320€6.99
YATZY Maxi Playbook brings the classic dice game to the table with an extra-large score block designed for 2880 games and suitable for players aged 6 and up. The pad gives 2 or more players a clear place to record names, round results and final totals, keeping fast dice rounds organised from the first throw to the last line on the sheet. The printed layout shows the full scoring structure directly on each page. The upper section covers 1s through 6s, while the lower section lists three of a kind, four of a kind, full house, small straight, large straight, Yatzy and chance. A bonus line for 63 points and plus 35 is built into the sheet, so the running total stays visible during play. Players have up to 3 throws per turn and can decide after each throw which dice to keep and which to roll again. This makes the block more than a blank notepad, as each field follows the natural flow of the game and supports quick, accurate score entry across repeated rounds. On family evenings or games with friends, the large-format pad keeps every category in view and reduces back-and-forth over where a result belongs. The shrink-wrapped presentation keeps the block together until the first session, while the Made in Germany marking is displayed on the pack.

IQ Track
606134747soon available again
IQ Track brings ball-routing puzzles and hands-on planning together in one compact educational game. The goal is clear in every task: build the correct route so the ball rolls into the right hole, turning each setup on the board into a focused test of colour matching, movement and logic. The game offers 60 challenges arranged in 6 difficulty levels, creating a steady change of pace from quick early tasks to more demanding route problems. Each round starts with a new layout and asks for careful placement of the track pieces inside the tray. As the path takes shape, concentration and strategic thinking stay at the centre of play, because only 1 route solves the task correctly. The coloured balls and track elements make the mechanism easy to follow while keeping the puzzle visually clear on the table. IQ Track suits solo puzzle sessions as well as shared rounds where families and friends compare solutions and work through the challenge sequence together. Its compact Travel Games format makes IQ Track easy to bring along for holidays, visits or quiet afternoons at home. On a kitchen table, in a playroom or while travelling, the board sets up a contained brainteaser session that rewards patience, observation and precise planning with every completed route.
Roll your dice
Do you have a lucky hand? With dice games, you can find out! Dive into the world of Noris games with dice and get to know dice games for children and adults that will immediately captivate you. The motto is: Get to the dice, get set, go!
What distinguishes a dice game?
Unlike many other game genres, a knowledge advantage in a dice game does not help you win. The course of the game is based purely on the principle of chance. This means that every player – regardless of age – has the same chances of winning.
What types of dice games are there?
Dice games come in a large variety, so there really is something for everyone. In detail, we can distinguish these types of games with dice:
Target group: for two, for children, for groups
The number of players and the age group addressed alone represent a way of distinguishing dice games. Some products are explicitly aimed at children, others are specifically for adults. There are also solo games, games for two or more players, and those that are played in groups or teams.
Dice games with cup
In some dice games, the dice are rolled face down in a cup. In this case, it is usually important for the game principle that the opponents cannot see the fallen numbers immediately.
Dice games with playing field
There are dice games that are played on a playing field. In these games, you often roll the dice to determine the number of steps you are allowed to take with your own playing piece on the field.
Dice games with luck
Ultimately, luck plays a role in all dice games. After all, no one can influence exactly which numbers the dice will show. Nevertheless, there are, of course, games in which the luck weighs more heavily than in others.
What advantages do dice games have?
Dice games for children are characterised by the advantages described below:
Promoting concentration
In almost every game – including dice games – your child has to concentrate to have a chance of winning. Even playing elementary dice games has a positive effect on concentration and attention span.
Promoting numeracy
Dice games also promote numeracy and numeracy skills. Logical, after all, the eyes have to be counted and, if necessary, added up.
Promotion of the power of combination
And many games of this kind also focus on the ability to combine. Your child learns to “put one and one together”, to quickly recognise connections and to perceive recurring patterns.
Promotion of the skill
Games that involve challenges for dexterity naturally also encourage your child on this level. In addition, these games are often particularly varied and offer unforeseen twists and turns during the game.
Developing an understanding of rules
Every dice game is based on a certain set of rules. When playing, your child is therefore practising understanding and following simple rules.
Suitable for everyday use and flexible
Most of the games with dice can be set up in no time at all and have a handy format. This makes the products particularly suitable for everyday use. They can be transported with little effort and can therefore be used absolutely flexibly. All you need to play is a reasonably flat surface on which to throw the dice.
From what age are dice games suitable?
Dice games for children are already available for the youngest children. For toddlers who are not yet confident with numbers, games with coloured or shaped dice are particularly suitable. It is necessary to supervise children of this age when playing with dice. After all, small dice can be swallowed under certain circumstances.
The older your child is, the higher the difficulty level of the game may be. Pre-school children can practise counting with simple dice games, while primary school children can already cope with more challenging games that have a fairly extensive set of rules. Surely, there are also dice games for adults. With a little support, these can possibly also be played by older children.
Basically, it is advisable to choose a dice game that is ideally suited to your child's current stage of development. Why? It's simple: a game that is too tricky causes excessive demands and frustration, a game that is too simple usually becomes boring quickly.
What should you look for when buying dice games?
We have summarised some of the most important buying criteria for you so that you can find a dice game that optimally fulfils your ideas and the wishes of your child:
Number of players, duration, and set-up time
Before you buy, think about how many players you want to play with, how long the game may take to set up and what playing time suits the concentration of the youngest player. With this information in mind, you can quickly narrow down the selection.
Accessories
Don't forget to have a close look at the scope of delivery of your favourite. This will tell you which parts are included and which accessories have to be bought separately.
Age recommendation
Pay attention to the manufacturer's age recommendation and compare it with your own assessment of your child's developmental stage. Be sure to choose a game with age-appropriate dice, i.e. dice with numbers for older children and colour or motif dice for toddlers.
Games with dice: fun entertainment on the move too
As already mentioned, dice games are generally small products that fit in any bag, are quick to set up and almost quicker to explain. The games are therefore the ideal travel companions and provide fun entertainment on the go.
