From November 2 to 10, it was once again time to get on board and enter the world of board games! It was our third participation in this great event - and this year over 250 board game fans took part.

A great Berlin Con lies behind us. The move to the Estrel Convention Center has given the event a significant boost towards that Gencon feeling. Over 16,000 visitors, significantly more exhibitors, a larger prototype gallery, the free gaming area with 2,000 seats and, last but not least, the legendary flea market with 7,000 games on offer made the event a fantastic event.

This year, we were once again at Play Forward in Göttingen. For three days, visitors were able to try out and play board games in the Alte Mensa on Wilhelmsplatz. We were there with a wide range of games, from children's games to expert games, helping people to find the right game and explaining the rules. We got to know lots of nice people and also met many old acquaintances. The Play Forward board game event was a complete success.

Three of our members have joined forces and started a podcast. With this new podcast, they want to offer you well-founded reviews, exciting discussions with guests from the scene and exciting insights into the latest board game highlights.

Surrounded by the impressive backdrop of the ocean, Matthias and Alex experienced an unforgettable adventure on the Boardgame Cruise to Iceland with an extensive selection of games from our game lending service in their luggage.

This year, Spiel celebrated its 40th birthday in Essen, and it was also the first year under the management of Carol Rapp. An interesting change this year was the new hall concept, which ensured a better distribution of the more than 190000 visitors. This year we were in charge of the Hunter & Friends stand, where we had backpacks, games, board game accessories and a small competition.
