Cards, dice, guessing, puzzles – game manufacturer Piatnik offers all this and more. Krone+ visited the production in Vienna-Hütteldorf on the occasion of the 200th anniversary (above in the video). Managing Director Dieter Strehl explains how ideas sell, why his predecessors never laughed and why Sisi flopped as the Queen of Hearts.
Games, games everywhere. Stacked up to the ceiling. Dieter Strehl is living his boyhood dream in his office. As the director of the Viennese playing card factory Ferdinand Piatnik and Sons, he can and must. Since 1995, Strehl has been at the helm of the traditional company, a game publisher based on three pillars: board games, puzzles – and of course playing cards! “I am an enthusiastic tarot player myself,” reveals the “Lord of the Cards” Krone+, “but I also like to play a board game or two.”
