We used to play it as kids back in the 90s!

You tell your little cousin that you used to play thief and policeman, and he asks you: what kind of application is that? Do you ever feel the same way? Let me reassure you, everything's fine. Many of the games we played 20 or 30 years ago still exist. These six models are just some of the classics in our range. Do you know of any others?
The children's post office
The post office - what fond memories I have of it! Of course, we had this game at home. As in the old days, today it still consists of envelopes, stamps, paying-in slips and cash. At the time, my sister even had the "post office" theme at nursery school and was allowed to hand out postcards and letters all over the school building. She still talks about that period today.
The rubber band
In every playground, children jumped and practised doing jumps some more perilous than others. That's the way it was back then. A timeless little game that you may even still have in the back of your cellar.
The Kasperli
Tri, tra, trallala, yes the Kasperli still exists. The Kasperli puppet and the king today are exactly the same as I remember them. I remember that I always played the Kasperli theatre behind the sofa, which I used as a stage. I made up some stories!
Pouilleux (Schwarzer Peter)
During the holidays at my grandmother's, the aim of our afternoons was to get as many pairs of cards as possible. The game was great fun. Especially because my sister and I always managed to unload the lousy one on our grandmother.
Diddl
Diddl? Yes, it still exists! What a lot of swapping, collecting and cuddling. I'm still using Diddl notepads today - as a shopping list. The Diddl mouse is a cute cuddly toy. And it's available in several models.
Railway track
At our grandparents' house, my sister and I assembled tracks for hours. The Brio railway with its many railway components and trains kept us busy for days on end. Every time, we found more pieces at the bottom of the box. In addition to the standard sets, many additional accessories and tracks are still available today. One new feature is the battery-powered locomotive with USB port that runs by itself. Back in the day, we used to carefully pull long trains so that none of the carriages derailed.

Irene.Portmann@digitecgalaxus.chI love the strategy game “The Settlers of Catan”, the Ravensburger puzzle “Colourful Cupcakes” and the pink fluffy unicorn that sits on my desk (a birthday present from my workmates). Not only do I have a weakness for toys, I also get excited about good food and comedy TV shows.
