Are you looking for a good new game? We have compared all the games presented at the game fair "Spiel.digital 2020" and listed the top100.
Game fair by Corona no longer in Essen - but online.
The International Game Days SPIEL, often called the Essen Game Fair or Essen 2020 after the city where it is held, is an annual four-day board game fair that is also open to the public. The last SPIEL was held in Essen in 2019, from October 24 to 27.
Unfortunately, it can't take place this year due to Corona, but that didn't make the organizers feel sorry for themselves.... but they took it as a chance to digitalize the fair SPIEL'20 and let it take place online from 22.10. to 25.10.2020.
Through online event also small publishers from around the world.
SPIEL will also feature board games that are difficult to find in retail stores - many international and small exhibitors will now present their products at Spiel.digital 2020 due to the elimination of travel costs. A total of 451 exhibitors from 41 countries will show their games - even Nibcard Games from Africa will be the first to represent the continent.
More info about game fair "Spiel.digital" is available on official game website.
