AUTUMN 2023
Cheers!
We are heading towards autumn. In some countries it is cold, in others warmer, but no matter what the weather situation is: We want to present special novelties and unusual games to our customers! Come along and have a look at our autumn program.
In the strategy section we are expecting the continuation of GIPF Project with the masterpiece MATRX. It's worth the wait, because Kris Burm has been polishing these game diamonds for a long time in order to delight us with it now. Other exciting titles like Terra Pyramides, Explora or Impera bring new strategic challenges to the table.
Dream Dragon Dream is not for frequent players, but who practices early could gain great strategies! The children have to search for treasures before the dragon wakes up. Cooperation is required here, and a bit of strategy too!
Cooperation is also required when you start with the goblins in the roller coaster. The roller coaster is not ready yet? Unfortunately, no one has heard about that here ... the wagon is already racing o and the players are trying to lay the tracks to the saving exit as fast as possible!
Playing games is often the first time you really get to know your fellow players! Finally, in the party game Truth or Drink your fellow players show themselves from a surprisingly new side or old-known. Find out!
In addition to the HUCH! brand, we also expand our distribution range with Hutter Trade. We are constantly looking for exciting partners who o er you and your customers outstanding game concepts. In 2023 we have greatly expanded our range and are pleased to present our new partners within our autumn catalogue! In the strategy and family game sector, Queen Games and Funtails, renowned publishers that enjoy great popularity, await you.
Hutter Trade is not only very successful in the games sector. In 2023, we were able to team up with the French brand Chefclub, under which cooking and baking utensils for children are produced – tailored to the needs of children! An exciting new product area that we are happy to let boil up with you!
Take a look at our autumn novelties and contact us. We will be happy to advise you and look forward to a video appointment or face-to-face meeting at Essen with you!
With kind regards, yours
In Terra Pyramides, players compete for the most prestigious building sites to erect the famous pyramids. It is a tough quest to finish building these tremendous wonders of the world, valued in points. And only those who manage their resources, money and workers wisely will accumulate the most points and and become the most renowned builder of Egypt. Each player must place exactly one tile on the game board in a round. The tricky part is: Only tiles in a straight or diagonal line connected with this tile are then activated and give income.
The tiles award workers, resources and money when activated. Workers and raw materials are needed to build pyramids. But the workers must actually have a straight or diagonal way across tiles to reach the building site they were hired for. If a player has enough resources and three of his workers on a building site, they may build another level for this pyramid, which earns them points.
The game ends when all tiles have been used up. Each pyramid is worth points depending on to which level it is built. Leftover resources and money are also worth a bit of points.

MATRX GIPF goes back to GIPF before it became a project. It is played with the pieces (called potentials) published in GIPF Sets 1, 2 and 3 and originally released together with the games that now make up the GIPF Project. The purpose of MATRX GIPF is not only to make the potentials available again as pieces that can be added to GIPF, but also to reveal the origin of the project in the form of a game in its own right—presented as the culmination of a highly-valued series of games.
✔ The origin of the GIPF Project

The family version of the "Spiel des Jahres" winner contains two di erent variants at once. In Scenario 1: “Who will become the new King?” players are confronted with a known challenge. They do what they can to impress the king and to be able to become his successor. Only if you build the tallest towers and are represented in as many castles as possible you will have a good chance to ascend the throne. The scenario is strongly based on its big brother TORRES, but with simplified rules. In Scenario 2: “Impress the King’s Envoys!” players seek close contact with the king’s envoys in order to present their buildings to them. If you build next to an envoy, you'll earn double points. That's not so easy, though, since you have to pay attention to the color of the spaces when you build! Not every tower may be built on every space. And the competition never sleeps!

These square crabs are a curiosity of nature. They cannot turn, but can only run in one direction. The crab of one player therefore only moves horizontally, the crab of the other player only vertically in the grid of sand and sea. Together they try to free their crab buddies, who are stuck under tires, a guitar or other annoying flotsam and jetsam. A big task for the little guys! Because they can't talk to each other and have to watch out for enemies. Beware! Will they make it in time to give all 8 buddies freedom?
The game also contains ten other adventures. The conditions for the rescue mission of the two heroes become increasingly more di cult throughout the game.
✔ Cooperative deduction game based on a well-known comic
✔ Scalable through 11 different adventure scenarios

How about traveling millions of years into the past to save the dodo and other endangered species from their extinction? Skillfully combine card abilities to save animals from the threatening comet with the help of your saviors. Animals you‘ve already rescued will support your further rescue maneuvers in different ways. Maybe even a flying dinosaur will help you shorten the way?
QUEEN GAMES
„Comet“ is characterized by quick turns despite high variability and strategic depth. While the core mechanics are easy to learn, each game presents a completely new challenge. Skillfully jump over the opposing saviors and decide which animals to bring to safety with which actions.
When you hatch and rescue animals, you can use their card abilities. But some animal cards you must also abandon and discard in order to move your saviors around the board. Weigh carefully which cards you use for what!
Different types of cards deepen the strategic decisions. Skillfully use the ability of your asymmetric hero card and optimize the possibilities of the silver and gold animal cards.
Are you ready for a journey you will never forget?
Feed the Kraken is a hidden role deduction game, with three asymmetric factions.
All players may be sitting in the same boat, but they want to navigate in different directions! The loyal sailors must bring the ship safely to mainland, whereas the pirates crave to secretly maneuver the ship towards Crimson Cove. Meanwhile a crazy cultist is busy convincing parts of the crew to help him summon their dark lord — the Kraken — from the depth of the sea to “save” them all.
