There are different types of puzzles, geometric games (i.e. mathematical games), logogram games, numerical games, card games, so the best-known puzzle is undoubtedly success, etc... But the best-known puzzles are the Puzzle and the Rubik's Cube... The first puzzles were called "Stomachion", a square game divided into 14 parts, which had to be put together in a predetermined order and could be combined in many different shapes. Puzzles were very popular at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Professor Hoffmann published a book with the title: "Puzzles old and new." It described 40 puzzles with all the secret mechanical details. This puzzle book has become a reference for this exciting type of game. Wood is undoubtedly the most suitable material for puzzles, despite the fact that it is easy to work with, such as plastic.

Do you know the board games: Pachisi (Indian), Patolli (Mesoamerican), Ludo and the little horses? You win! They have an apron (playing surface) in the shape of a cross. However, all these games have a filiation that goes back very far in the history of civilisations, although they are called differently. Some have similar rules like the Korean game: "Yunnori", of Chinese origin, but the game board is different. And these board games were eventually called Ludo in Great Britain and "petits chevaux" in France. They were introduced in the United States and France around 1936. However, the rules and the number of squares where the little horses move to pass and go around may not be the same depending on the size of the game and the dressing of the small horse games or Ludo. However, even if the rules of the small horses or even if the boards are different, the fun of the game is still there. Nowadays, the variations of Ludo pawns are very important; pirates, small animal, Lego etc. When I was little, I used to go to my grandparents' house very often and the game of little horses was one of the first board games I played with my grandfather. The Ludo "Islands of the pirates" is a good birthday present for the little ones who often like pirate stories and cartoons.

The Mikado is for those who do not know, a game consisting of many chopsticks, which are painted in several colours, each colour having a different value. The first step of the game is to gather all the chopsticks vertically and on their tips. Then you release them so that the pile is as untidy as possible and the chopsticks are nested on top of each other. Then the game consists of removing one stick at a time from the pile, but the main goal is not to move the other sticks.... You can remove one stick above or below the pile. If unluckily you move the other sticks you immediately pass your turn and the opponent can play. You can continue to remove sticks until you have moved one or more other sticks. At the end of the game, the points accumulated are added up, so if you have managed to take the sticks worth the most points by taking the most badly placed but most valuable sticks you will be declared the winner. Obviously, the added value of the game we offer is the size of the game which is Giant, so it is a game to offer as an original gift, an unusual gift as a kdo idea for a young person, a perfect board game gift. A birthday gift idea for older children.

To play Ludo (small horses or dada in France, Belgium), you need to be four and have a dice and 4 counters, farm animals or small horses whose colour corresponds to the starting box. The colour is drawn at random before starting the game which runs in the same direction as the clockwise direction. To start the race in this little gift game, the participants must roll a 6, which then allows them to get out and stand right in front of the box. The number 6 allows them to play again. To progress on this game, gift ideas for children, participants must roll a dice and move their mount forward by the same amount. If you roll a 5, for example, and you arrive exactly on a square where there is already an opponent's pawn, this pawn will have to go back to its stable and start the game again and you will take its place on the board. The winner is the one who arrives first at the centre of this ideal board game gift and ideal birthday present, while crossing the ladder opposite his starting "box" at the end of a compulsory turn of the board. To climb up, the number indicated on the ladder must be achieved: One on the one, two on the two, etc. Obtaining a different number does not allow you to move your horse or, in this case, your farm animal forward. Who will win the race? The donkey, the sheep, the mouse or the cow? A nice gift for children who love animals.

This children's first aid kit contains standard medical equipment and is realistic and virtually identical to what is found in many first aid services, doctors' surgeries and doctors' offices. Becoming a doctor is often one of the jobs that children dream of doing when they grow up. In France, the dream jobs for boys are, in order of preference: aeroplane or helicopter pilot, engineer, scientist and in fourth place: "Doctor, nurse or emergency doctor.

This first aid case is a birthday gift idea, a birthday gift for a child, girl or boy, an original gift for the holidays, in short an original gift idea for children.

The origin of croquet can be traced back to the game of pall-mall which was played in the French countryside in the Middle Ages. It was Louis XIV who had it transferred to the table in his palace so that it could be played even in winter and the game would then have become billiards. The English copied the game around 1300 and, after many developments, it became golf in Scotland and croquet in Ireland. Popularised during the second half of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, contemporary croquet is mainly practised by Anglo-Saxons: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, India, etc. For many of us, this croquet game seems to be just a pleasant pastime and an ideal wooden game idea to offer as a birthday present for dad or as a fun gift for young people. Croquet also brings enthusiasts together in a Belgian federation that was founded in 1994 and which organises tournaments. Croquet can be played alone or in teams, most often on grass, but sometimes on the beach (sand) and even on ice. Teams range from two to eight players. The aim is to make the wooden ball go through the field as quickly as possible by advancing it with a mallet. The ball must follow a precise course, delimited by hoops, under which the ball must pass. The courses differ according to the number of hoops to be crossed, the direction of the course, etc. A fun outdoor game to play with family or friends.
