“The Mind” – Nominated for the 2018 Game of the Year - Game

Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag Relies on Koehler Cardboard for Playing Cards

The 2 x 60 playing cards used in the game were made with Koehler Casino Classic cardboard for playing cards, which is very popular with game manufacturers due to its perfect processing properties. “We would like to congratulate Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag on the nomination,” says Marco Lang, head of Koehler FineTech Paper, “and are delighted that we are helping bring young and old together with our cardboard for playing cards.” The game packaging was also coated with Koehler Chromo Paper, a paper that is mainly applied as a printed layer to games, puzzles, posters, or, as in the case of “The Mind,” to the packaging.

Cooperative Card Game for Team Building

“The Mind” is a cooperative card game in which 2 – 4 players each play their hands together over several levels in ascending sequence. The trick is that you are not allowed to say a word about the cards in your hand. A card played too early costs the team one life point. As a result, each team develops a dynamic that works without verbal communication or gestures.

“The best game idea is only possible when working with an excellent team. With Koehler as our business partner and supplier of the cardboard for the playing cards, we have definitely picked the right card, so to speak,” emphasizes Franz Jurthe, general manager of Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag.

Koehler One of the World’s Leading Manufacturers of Cardboard for Playing Cards

Koehler cardboard for playing cards is on the tables of the world’s largest casinos. From Las Vegas to Monaco, Casino Classic or Casino Imperial hold all the trump cards. What makes excellent cardboard for playing cards stand out? The cards shouldn’t bend, even after being shuffled and played with several times. The restoring force of Koehler cardboard for playing cards is unique in this respect. The cardboard consists of two layers joined together with black adhesive to ensure a very high level of opacity. But it’s better to keep your cards close to your chest, don’t you think?
