Spiel Essen 2019

Typing this with a strange post Essen feeling in my stomach. It has been wonderful four days’ rollercoaster trip through Board Game Wonderland and I am still in a some kind of Spiel buzz. Although it is over, the memories of good laughter’s and massive board gaming will stay with us and nobody can take them away.

For me the 37th International Games Event Spiel 2019 in Essen started with the Press day on Wednesday and ended on Saturday. The Press day with the showcase is a perfect moment for me to shoot some games, while I can setup everything the way I want. During Spiel itself, I wander around the Halls to play some games and along the way I meet with friends and occasionally make new friends.

Board Games arise the feeling of an awesome community, while looking for a place among the demo tables to sit it isn’t rare you end up with complete strangers and start to get to know each other during the setup and understanding of the rules of the game. “Where are you from?” or “Do have any tips to check?” are common phrases during these games with your new friend for a as long the games take and it could happen you walk together to the next item on your shortlist.

Together with that euphoric feeling I have while I am at Spiel, makes it for me one of the best events in the world and I am confident I can say that the Board Game Community is an awesome one and I am happy I am a part of it. Thank you Spiel and all the amazing people who makes this event to a success and to all you visitors I would like to say: “Keep on Gaming!!!!!”, you are awesome!

Till next year Spiel Essen, till 22 October 2020!!!!
