What to expect, if You visit SPIEL and COMIC ACTION?
SPIEL '16
SPIEL '16 with COMIC ACTION - the world's biggest consumer fair for gaming - offers its visitors a one-of-a-kind opportunity to see, sample and test the complete international games program. In 2016 more than 1,000 exhibitors from 50 nations will make this show so unique. Gamers from all over the world join the largest meeting of the gaming scene. Publishers, authors, manufacturers, and devoted players gather here to share their experiences, check out the latest developments and introduce new products to the wider public.
On more than 68,000 square meters of exhibition space, all kinds of games are on display, ranging from family, adult, children and parlour games to strategy, mail, adventure, fantasy and science fiction games to video and computer games. Naturally, game classics such as Chess, Go, Backgammon and Bridge won't be missing.
SPIEL provides an extensive range of fringe events: All exhibitors invite you to join in the action at their tables - just try the unknown, enter one of the numerous competitions, or watch exciting demonstrations!
Families will find a world of adventure for their kids. A huge variety of high-quality toys just waits to be explored - and a special hall is being turned into a playground with climbing areas, juggling, an XXL tabletop kicker, a bouncy castle, and much more.
SPIEL in Essen means: Four days of fun, meeting friends, and a chance to try out thousands of games and novelties just in time for the holiday season. Convince yourself of the quality of the international games market and feel free to buy your favourite ones!
(Quote from the organizer's site http://www.merz-verlag-en.com/)
I hope this year ARES will have lots of products at its booth, because the German distributor "Heidelberger Spieleverlag" have not interest in selling WoG products.
So the last 2 years or so ARES fortunately have startet to have more and more of their products to buy at their booth. I'm looking forward to this years Spiel'16
Anyone else going there?
Sascha.
