Amigo

 Amigo is one of the most popular board games companies in Germany. You won't call their success story simple or cloudless. It all started back in 1980 when Rudolf Jansen and Guenter Voigt founded a small business for two in the building of the Amigo Hotel in Brussels. The name of the hotel in the Belgian capital, inspired two Germans to create a world-renowned and glorious brand of board games that is admired by many players on this planet. Janssen and Voigt initially started playing simple card games, so the first game in this company was the Zac card game. Amigo has made its breakthrough with the Rubik'sSnake game and the UNO card game supplies for the US company International Games . It was followed by several independent editions, such as the Campus game called "Game of the Year" and the family game Tutti Frutti , which was soon renamed Halli Galli . Then, there were the financial problems associated with the unsuccessful re-release of the game UNO , so the company had to transfer to the management of a large concern. Already in the 90's Amigo Spiel were able to present the gaming market classic card games 6dub! and Wizard and Bognanza . In 1998, there was the Elfenland Family Game Award .
