Game fair in the German city of Essen
The International Game Days "SPIEL", often called the Essen Game Fair or Essen 2014 after the city where it is held, is an annual four-day board game fair that is also open to the public. In 2014, the Spiel'14 game fair was held from October 16-19 (Thursday through the following Sunday) at the Messe Essen exhibition center in Essen, Germany. Many new games are released at the fair every year, especially (but not exclusively) European-style board games.
More info about game fair "Spiel" is available at official game website.
SPIEL'14 - the biggest game fair in the world
The first time the fair took place was in 1983 at the Volkshochschule Essen. With 832 exhibitors from 41 nations, 58,000 m² of exhibition space and 158,000 game-loving visitors, Spiel'14 was once again the world's largest trade fair for board games in 2014.
