Zoch Verlag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bandu by Klaus Zoch

The Zoch Verlag is a Munich-based publisher of games. Its pivotal point is games of skill made out of wood - or with a high proportion of wood — for children and families. In addition, it has games in which the tactical skills of the players are demanded.

History

[edit]

The Zoch Verlag was founded in 1987 by CEO Albrecht Werstein[1] and game designer Klaus Zoch. In 2002 a new shareholder, Hermann Hutter, was added.[2] Hutter was responsible for marketing and sales. Upon its founding, Zoch Verlag released its first game, Bausack.

Zoch Verlag has received many awards, including the Deutscher Spiele Preis,[3] the Schweizer Spielepreis and was awarded "spiel gut". On 1 February 2010, the publishing house was taken over by the Simba Dickie Group and continued as a trademark.[4]
