We have just got back from another incredible Spiel Essen show. It was the busiest show yet, it was brilliant to see customers old and new and to get to play our games with some fabulous people. Roll on Spiel Essen 2026.

Essen Spiel is officially over. It was our first time exhibiting here. We had a blast. And here is a good sign... 3 skids shipped to Essen... 1 skid going back.
