Where it came from
Burg Appenzell was published in 2007 by Zoch Verlag, emerging from the German-style board game tradition that emphasizes tactile, high-quality components. Designed by Marcel-André Casasola Merkle and Kirsten Becker, the game was conceived as a lighthearted competition focused on mice gathering cheese in a multi-level house. The design utilizes a three-dimensional board that encourages players to manipulate the environment, moving walls and traps to outmaneuver opponents.
The game is widely recognized for its visual charm and mechanical innovation, specifically the use of board pieces that players can remove to open holes in the floor. This design choice created a dynamic, ever-changing play area that was received positively by families and hobbyists alike. It successfully balanced a whimsical aesthetic with enough strategic depth to earn a nomination for the Kinderspiel des Jahres, solidifying its place as a staple of modern European family gaming.
