The author
Wolfgang Dirscherl was born 1974
in Regensburg (Germany). Once his
playful school days were over he
completed training as a banker before
studying business economics. Since
2003 he has worked in his dream job
as games' editor for HABA. Apart
from this game, he already has desig-
ned many other games for HABA,
for example
The Garlic Vampires, Wild
Vikings, Fiery Dragons
as well as the
educational games
Pirates' ABC and
Geometry Pirates.
Wolfgang Dirscherl lives with his wife Sybille
and with his son Simon in Coburg.
The illustrator
Michael Menzel was born in 1974.
He lives with his wife Stefanie and his
son Johannes in Krefeld. In 2003 he
had a lucky strike when he started
illustrating games. Up until 2007 he
had mainly illustrated family games
and games for adults. HABA in 2007,
however, offered him the possibility
to illustrate a children game and ever
since that wonderful and inspiring
cooperation, working on children
games has become one of his favorite
activities. In the last years he has already inspired various
HABA-games with his great illustrations, such as
Raggedy Rat
Rascal, Capt'n Look and Wild Vikings.
Michael Menzel wishes you lot of fun with Wicca herbs and spider
legs.
