One of the players then takes the black marble and throws it into the red tornado. The marble may spin in circles or drop quickly through the funnel – it depends on how you throw it! Wait for the right moment before the black marble reaches the bottom of the funnel, and then release your coloured marble! Your marble must reach the finish before the black marble, but not too early, otherwise you will not receive any points. If your marble reaches the finish after the black marble, you will receive minus points. The first player to collect 10 points wins the game.

Roll the dice, say a word and start guessing! The creative word-image game "One Word" is ideal for parties or afternoons with the family. Think about which word will help the other players to guess which images you have chosen. How about "pirate"? Or maybe "cruise" would be better? The nine dice are rolled and place into the coloured slots in the box. Each player receives a deck of face-down cards, which feature two colours and an additional colour. The player whose turn it is secretly takes a look at which colours are shown on their card and which images are on the corresponding dice. They must now consider which single word can be associated with these images, and then say the word out loud. For example, if the dice show a parrot and a sailing boat and the additional dice has an image of a gold coin, one possible choice of word would be "pirate". If another player thinks they know the answer, they should say the words out loud and point at the corresponding dice. If their answer is correct, they and the active player may each discard one card. If they are wrong, they may not make any more guesses in the current round. If the word was guessed correctly, the dice must be rolled again and the game continues with a new round. The first player to discard all of their cards is the winner. This game is suitable for playing as a team, against each other or alone. It has a compact and portable design and is played directly in the box.

Family games: Laughing and playing together
The best games are those that bring the whole family together. Whether on the road or at a cosy games evening: family games from Noris fill family time with laughter, sharing and fun.
What are family games?
When we talk about family games, we mean games that can be played together by the entire family. This can be a dice game, a card game or a board game – the variety is almost limitless.
Why should parents play games together with their children?
One thing is clear: family games bring numerous advantages. The reasons for playing games together are explained below:
Building and consolidating relationships
Playing offers many opportunities to strengthen the relationship with your child. Fun play leaves room for sharing and creates precious memories that the whole family will look back on fondly.
Intergenerational
Typically, family games are suitable for people of different age groups. This means that younger children as well as teenagers, parents, and grandparents can enjoy the games.
Maintaining tradition and cultural assets
We know that people have been playing games for thousands of years. So in this respect, family games also represent cultural assets and are a tradition worth upholding.
Useful and inexpensive pastime
Considering how many hours you can spend with the games without getting bored, they are a particularly good value pastime. The motto is: buy once, play again!
A change from the digital world
Digital media are part of most children's everyday life. Therefore, it is important to create a healthy balance, which succeeds with fun family games.
Promoting cognition, concentration, and language
The promotional effect of games for the family should not be underestimated. Depending on the specific game content, the products promote your child's cognitive abilities, language skills and ability to concentrate.
Learning through play
This means that playing and learning go hand in hand. Your child can experience that learning is fun – an important experience.
Promotion of emotion processing
And family games are also beneficial in terms of emotion processing. When your child is happy about a victory or angry about a defeat, they get in touch with their feelings and can explore them in a safe environment.
Developing an understanding of rules
By the time a child starts school at the latest, it must become accustomed to following certain rules daily. Ideally, the understanding of rules is promoted beforehand, for example with family games.
From what age are the family games from Noris suitable?
If you want to know from what age a game is suitable, you should look at the age recommendation. However, many family games can also be played by younger children, provided they are supported by an older sibling or an adult. Nevertheless, make sure that the game content is appropriate for children and their age! We would like to introduce some family games for different age groups here as examples:

What should you look for when buying family games?
Are you planning to buy a game for the family? A great idea! To avoid making a bad purchase, you should make your choice with these aspects in mind:
Number of players, playing time and set-up time
Depending on how many players you want to play with, different products are possible. Also find out how long a game round lasts and how much time it takes to set up.
Fair odds
Place value on fair chances of winning! Ideally, the mere age of a family game does not increase the chances of winning, so that even the youngest player can win.
Conducive to learning
The best family game comes with one or two educational contents. Among other things, it promotes the ability to concentrate, trains numerical comprehension or gives your child the opportunity to improve its language skills.
Accessories
Can accessories be used for the game? Be sure to check the scope of delivery because not all accessories are always included.
