The SPIEL 2023 dates, 5 - 8 October, will bring to Essen Exhibition Center (Messe Essen) the most prominent game publishers, game authors and other industry professionals. They will be joined by a plethora of avid gamers, board game reviewers and influencers. The previous edition of the largest public fair for card, dice and board games attracted nearly 147,000 visitors. Startups and well-known companies from 56 countries chose SPIEL Essen to showcase their newest creations - 1800 game premieres took place.
The next SPIEL Messe in 2023 will be just as eventful. The exhibition will cover everything from collaborative games to one-person games. New children’s games and adult games will be played and ordered.
Like most sectors, the toy and games sector is affected by the ongoing crisis and the related supply chain problems. Although there are challenges to overcome, the enthusiasm for games remains strong and there is much room for growth. The global situation urges the board game industry to adapt, which will prompt innovations and clever solutions that will undoubtedly be demonstrated by some of the new titles at SPIEL 2023. These issues will also be explored at the event’s panel discussions. The innoSPIEL award will highlight innovative mechanisms and materials. The Research Day and Educators’ Day will present additional opportunities for professionals to connect and discuss trends and changes in the board game world.
