Play Forward 2024
This year we were at Play Forward in Göttingen again. In the old cafeteria on Wilhelmsplatz, boardgames could be tried out and played over three days. With a wide selection of games from children’s games to expert games, we were there, helped to find the right game and explained some rules. We met a lot of nice people and als met a lot of old acquaintances. The Play Forward boardgame event was a complete success. On Sunday it was so crowded that the tables provided were no longer enough. Many thanks to Ben, Flo and Karl for the organization and the active support. And also many thanks to Arne from Spieleburg for providing some of the latest games. We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to next year!
