Where it came from
Enchanted Forest was first published by Otto-Maier-Verlag in 1981, emerging during a golden era for the Ravensburger brand of German board games. Designed by Michel Matschoss, the game was conceived as a family-friendly experience that blended classic fairy tale themes with a simple yet engaging memory-based mechanic. Its release coincided with a period when European game design was beginning to gain international recognition for prioritizing intuitive, accessible rulesets.
The design of the game features a lush, illustrated board depicting a magical woodland, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of children's literature from the early 1980s. The core objective involves players searching for hidden treasures revealed by peeking under trees, a concept that emphasizes discovery and strategic movement. Upon its release, the game was well-received by the public, ultimately winning the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award in 1982, which cemented its status as a staple in many households for decades to follow.
