Nürnberger-Spielkarten-Verlag (NSV) is a German

dice games
s and, especially in recent years, increasingly proprietary games from various game authors.

History

NSV emerged from the Heinrich Schwarz's Playing Cards Factory in Nuremberg which he founded in 1948. In the early 1960s the company traded under the name "Heinrich Schwarz & Co" and was sold to Gisela Herfurth, who further developed and expanded the company as Nürnberger Spielkarten GmbH with the label "Neue Nürnberger Spielkarten" (New Nuremberg Playing Cards). It was able to expand the range of playing cards and expand it to include advertising material and other toys, as well as establishing international trade. In 1989, the company was acquired by F.X. Schmid.[1] In 1995, NSV became independent again and in the following year F.X. Schmid was taken over by Ravensburger.[1] The publishing house was managed by Gerhard Lang until 2005, after which his successor and current managing director, Franz Jurthe, took over.

Range

NSV produces

Zwicker which include 6 Jokers in a standard, 52-card, Berlin pattern pack. One of the publisher's most important German sales partners is Heidelberger Spieleverlag.[1]
Well-known author games from NSV are the dice game Qwixx,

both by Steffen Benndorf. In 2018 the game, The Mind, by Wolfgang Warsch was nominated for Game of the Year.
