Jumbo (games)
Jumbo is a well-known Dutch manufacturer of board games.

Engelbert Hausemann, a German sales representative, founded a shop in Amsterdam on January 1, 1853. This store was the precursor of the current game publishers and manufacturers Hausemann & Hötte.

In 1860, Wilhelm Hötte (1843), the son of Engelbert Hausemann's sister, joined the ranks as employees. In 1873 he founded his own company. On December 27, 1882, Hausemann & Hötte decided to work together as the Hausemann & Hötte company. This collaboration lasted five years, Engelbert Hausemann withdrew on December 31, 1887 in old age. The company was dissolved and it was agreed that Wilhelm Hötte would continue the business under the existing company name.

In 1947 the first brochure with Jumbo games appeared. In 1978, Hausemann & Hötte acquired the designation 'Royal'.
