Product Description

Barbarossa, in German "red beard" was, according to its inventor, inspired by the fantasy trilogy Die Schule der Rtselmeister (School of the Riddle Masters), in which wizards are devoted to the creation of riddles and riddle solving tournaments. In an interview he stated "As you know there are moments when you close a book really sad that it's over. After finishing the last page, you often feel like you've lost a friend -- to be somewhat melodramatic. So I was looking for a way to keep the book alive a little longer. Creating a game seemed the perfect solution. In this game, I was looking for a way to make riddles, to experiment with shapes and to let the players express their own creativity with clay." Players: 3-6 Ages: 12 and up Playing Time: 60 Minutes
