Ravensburger Max Mümmelmann
German, French, Italian
Chocolate Easter bunnies will soon be hopping into our homes again in droves. But who can possibly eat that many little rabbits? So how about some fun instead of chocolate bunnies for once?
My children’s chocolate bunnies multiply like rabbits at Easter. A big one from us, their parents, another from their grandparents, of course, a small one from their godmother and godfather, then another from Auntie and maybe a few chocolate eggs from the neighbour. Soon you won’t even know what to do with this large rabbit family. You’ll be making plans as to how you can otherwise utilise those sweet little creatures.
So, bring on the alternatives! Instead of chocolate, I suggest giving or receiving an Easter game as a gift for once.
Does the cover picture immediately bring back memories? I played Max Mümmelmann as a child, and the children’s game is clearly still very popular from the ages of four and up. It was published in 1988 – a real classic with a nostalgic feel. Just remember, it’s only available in German, French and Italian.
Max Mümmelmann collects bunny cards – one of each, ending up with a complete bunny family. You roll the dice, hop from square to square and draw cards from the pile. Just too bad if you pick up a card twice. If you’re lucky enough to hit the Max card, you can steal any card from another player.

One of my daughters received the game as a gift a few years ago, but we all loved it. Thanks to different puzzle tiles and challenge cards, both little ones, older kids and even really old ones – us parents – get something out of it. The logic game is officially for ages four and up.
Each egg should be occupied by a brooding hen. By thinking logically and moving tactically, the hens find their place – but it can get tricky. If you push the wrong way once, eggs that were already covered will quickly be exposed again.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a kid that doesn’t know Lotti Karotti. The award-winning classic for ages four and up has sold millions of copies over the last ten years and hasn’t lost its appeal. My children love it dearly and always cheer along their bunnies. Again, it’s only available in German, French and Italian.
Each player sends four rabbits into the race, all to reach the carrot atop its hill. However, the way up is full of stumbling blocks and nasty surprises. Whoever turns the carrot in the middle can open holes and activate obstacles. Again and again, rabbits will disappear underground, or the mole will push them off the path.
