1983: It all started in a small garage in the heart of Munich: All that Bernd Brunnhofer and Karl-Heinz Schmiel wanted was to develop great board games!
What started in the garage became one of the most successful German game publishers; Moritz Brunnhofer has since taken over the management. Two visionaries have become 12 team members and over 40 years of company history.

20 years have passed since the nomination for Spiel des Jahres and long-time fans have already seen a few designs.
In 2021, we have therefore released the Carcassonne anniversary version!
Since 1983, the small Hans im Glück publishing house in Munich has been creating games with great attention to detail. Whether it’s a family game or a more complex board game – we invest as much time as necessary in the development of a game. It doesn’t start with a lump of gold, but a hand-glued game. And unlike in the famous fairy tale, Hans im Glück Verlag’s success curve is constantly pointing upwards. Since the first Essen Spielertage in 1983 with the game DODGE CITY, the titles from the Munich-based publisher have become firmly established on the gaming scene and have been showered with recognition and awards. Bernd Brunnhofer and Karl-Heinz Schmiel could never have dreamed of this back then when they embarked on the adventure of game publishing with a garage workshop.
In recent years, awareness of sustainability and environmental protection has increased in many industries – and that naturally includes the board game industry.
We are also trying our best here: experienced fans have certainly noticed a change in our products in recent years. What have we changed?
Dear Carcassonne team, dear Hans-im-Glück team,
We just wanted to say thank you for one of the best board games out there, which has given us a lot of great times with friends and family.
This year we especially enjoyed the CARCASSONNE SAFARI edition during our holiday on safari in Namibia.
There is no better place to play this game than in the middle of the savannah (see photos).
Your graphic designers have managed to capture the design of the real African landscape.
The game also works really well as a travelling game.
Of course, you leave the cardboard box at home. To make it a real travelling game, you would have to be able to fold the scoring board.
We are often travelling and always try to take themed games with us. The Safari Edition was of course a direct hit.
Let’s see if another game from your publishing house makes it under the Christmas tree this year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas.
Best wishes from Bremen
