Anja Wrede est une rouquine berlinoise qui, depuis une vingtaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es, publie des jeux pour enfants. Elle a d\u2019abord travaill\u00e9 chez Haba, avant de prendre son ind\u00e9pendance, et a souvent travaill\u00e9 en collaboration avec d\u2019autres auteurs d\u2019outre-Rhin. Au fait, non, ce n\u2019est pas la femme de Klaus-J\u00fcrgen Wrede. Anja publie certains de ses jeux par sa propre boite d\u2019\u00e9dition, Siebenschl\u00e4fer, du nom allemand d\u2019une souris qui hiberne sept mois de l\u2019ann\u00e9e – moi, je ne savais m\u00eame pas que les souris hibernaient.
\nAnja a aussi un autre talent, que j\u2019envie d\u2019autant plus qu\u2019il m\u2019est totalement \u00e9tranger et difficilement compr\u00e9hensible, elle dessine remarquablement bien ce qui lui a permis d\u2019illustrer elle-m\u00eame la plupart de ses cr\u00e9ations, le plus souvent avec toutes sortes d\u2019animaux tous plus mignons les uns que les autres.<\/p>\n

\u00c9tant un peu plus \u00e2g\u00e9 que son public cible habituel, je n\u2019ai pas jou\u00e9 \u00e0 toutes les cr\u00e9ations d\u2019Anja. Je vous en conseille n\u00e9anmoins\u00a0 vivement deux qui marchent aussi bien avec les grands qu\u2019avec les petits, Cache Dragon, con\u00e7u avec Christoph Cantzer, avec sa balle en l\u00e9vitation au dessus de la boite de jeu, et Carole et ses dr\u00f4les de recettes, un dr\u00f4le de jeu de cartes et de cuisine o\u00f9 l\u2019on tape sur la table avec une cuill\u00e8re en bois.<\/p>\n

Anja est une habitu\u00e9e des rencontres ludopathiques que j\u2019organise chaque ann\u00e9e pour retrouver quelques auteurs, \u00e9diteurs et amis joueurs. On se croise aussi de temps en temps, \u00e0 Paris, \u00e0 Berlin ou ailleurs, et il \u00e9tait in\u00e9vitable que nous nous mettions \u00e0 concevoir quelques jeux ensemble.<\/p>\n

Le premier, Grabbit, reste mon chouchou, mais nous avons malheureusement d\u00fb l\u2019abandonner lorsque nous avons vu para\u00eetre un autre jeu vraiment tr\u00e8s proche – l\u2019id\u00e9e \u00e9tait sans doute dans l\u2019air. Les autres ont eu plus de chance et de succ\u00e8s, puisque Fearz!<\/a> arrive en boutique ces jours-ci et que deux autres, dont notre premi\u00e8re participation \u00e0 la magnifique collection Contes et Jeux chez Purple Brain, devraient suivre l\u2019an prochain. Mon seul petit regret est que, vraisemblablement, aucune de nos collaborations ne sera illustr\u00e9e par Anja – raison de plus pour continuer \u00e0 travailler ensemble.<\/p>\n

Anja Wrede is a Berlin redhead and has been designing children games for now twenty years. She first worked at Haba, before getting independent and collaborating with several other German game designers – and, by the way, no, she\u2019s not Klaus-J\u00fcrgen Wrede\u2019s wife. Anja publishes some of her lighter games through her own one-person company, Siebenschl\u00e4fer, named after a German mouse which hibernates during seven months every year – before checking this, I even didn\u2019t know that mice could hibernate.<\/em>
\nAnja has another talent, which I\u2018m terribly jealous of because it is completely foreign to me, almost impenetrable – she draws remarkably well and she has illustrated most of her own games with various cute animals.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"froschmusik\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Since I\u2019m much older than Anja\u2019s usual target audience, I\u2019ve not played all of their games. I can however praise and recommend a few ones I really like, especially Dragi Dragon (designed together with Christoph Catntzer) with its levitating ball floating over the game box and Moo\u2019s Code, a fun card game about cooking in which players have to hit the table with a wooden spoon.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anja is a regular at my Ludopathic Gathering, a yearly meeting I organize every year with gamers, designers and publishers I really like. We also sometimes meet in Paris or Berlin, and even when our styles have so far been very different, we had to try to design something together some day. <\/em><\/p>\n

Our first design, Grabbit, is still my favorite one but we had to abandon it when a a very similar game was published – the idea was quite simple and must have been in the air. We were more lucky with the next ones. Fearz!<\/a> was at the Essen fair and will hit the shelves very soon and two more, including a game in the gorgeous tale & games series by Purple Brain. My only concern is that, so far none of our common designs will be illustrated by Anja herself. That\u2019s one more reason to keep working together.<\/em><\/p>\n
