Berlin, June 16, 2025 - Award-winning gaming fun from Schmidt Spiele®: On June 16, 2025, the legacy game novelty "Ziggurat™" was awarded the "Family Game Hit" at the Austrian Games Award 2025. The award honors games for children and parents in which everyone plays on an equal footing and has the same chances of winning. It is awarded annually by the Austrian Games Academy. This is the 13th award for the publisher Schmidt Spiele as part of the Austrian Games Award.
With "Ziggurat™" from the pen of Matt Leacock and Rob Daviau, Schmidt Spiele® invites two to four people aged eight and over to immerse themselves in the exciting world of legacy games. Each of the six consecutive chapters features new rules, additional game material, surprising twists and turns and its own game objective. In order to successfully complete this and thus reveal the next part of the story, the players must always work closely together.
This cooperative family game innovation from Schmidt Spiele® is the ideal introduction for anyone who wants to try out a legacy adventure with easy-to-understand moves and a highly challenging character. Once you have finished the game, individual story chapters or even the entire campaign can be restarted at will - for a recurring, individual gaming experience.
