Mikado (Stigespill/Ferdighetsspill) by Vennerød Forlag

Vennerød Forlag is a prominent Norwegian publisher specializing in board games, toys, and educational materials. The product shown is a classic Mikado (pick-up sticks) skill game, which is a staple in their entertainment portfolio for the Scandinavian market.

Originally founded in Norway by the Vennerød family, the brand has built a strong reputation for localizing international games and developing original titles. While the creative design and administrative operations are based in Oslo, Norway, the physical production of their wooden and plastic game components typically takes place in China to ensure cost-effective manufacturing for the retail market.

Today, the brand remains under the umbrella of Vennerød Forlag AS. The company continues to operate as an independent Norwegian entity, focused on providing high-quality family entertainment across the Nordic region. Its ownership structure is rooted in its Norwegian heritage, maintaining its headquarters and distribution network in Oslo.
