'''''Entdecker''''' ({{IPA|de|ɛntˈdɛkɐ|}}, [German](/source/German_language) for "Discoverer") is a [German-style board game](/source/German-style_board_game) designed by [Klaus Teuber](/source/Klaus_Teuber) and published in [1996](/source/1996_in_games) by [Goldsieber](/source/Goldsieber) in [German](/source/German_language).  Although the game won 2nd prize in the [Deutscher Spiele Preis](/source/Deutscher_Spiele_Preis) in 1996,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-11-03 |title=Preisträger – SPIEL Messe |url=https://www.spiel-messe.com/de/deutscher-spielepreis/preistraeger/ |access-date=2024-06-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201103224339/https://www.spiel-messe.com/de/deutscher-spielepreis/preistraeger/ |archive-date=2020-11-03 }}</ref> many gamers were disappointed with the game after the success of Teuber's previous game, ''[The Settlers of Catan](/source/The_Settlers_of_Catan)''.  An updated version, ''Die Neuen Entdecker'', was published in 2001 by [Kosmos](/source/Kosmos_(game_publisher)); this version was published in English by [Mayfair Games](/source/Mayfair_Games) under the title ''Entdecker - Exploring New Horizons''.  This version of the game won the [Essen Feather](/source/Essen_Feather) for that year.
