Magic Mountain (Children's Game Of The Year 2022), AMIGO Games, Family Board Game, Ages 5+, 2-6 Players

Magic Mountain is an award-winning cooperative board game where players work together to save a village from approaching villains. Using a unique marble-run mechanic, players release "will-o'-the-wisp" balls from the top of a 3D mountain board. As the marbles roll down the unpredictable paths, they move character figures—either students or witches—to the next available space of the matching color. The collective goal is to guide the wizard students to the bottom of the mountain before the witches arrive. It combines elements of strategy and luck, encouraging team discussions on which starting point offers the best trajectory. This engaging title earned the prestigious 2022 Kinderspiel des Jahres (Children's Game of the Year) for its innovative and inclusive design.
