About SPIEL Essen
SPIEL Essen is the world’s largest public board gaming fair. The four-day event draws board gaming and tabletop enthusiasts from across Germany, Europe, and internationally, alongside the publishers, designers, and creators driving the modern board gaming industry. Its exhibitor base concentrates on board game publishers across major German houses (Kosmos, Ravensburger, Pegasus Spiele) and international publishers (Asmodee, CMON, Restoration Games, Stonemaier, Cephalofair), independent and small-press board game designers, roleplaying game publishers, miniatures and terrain producers, card game and expansion designers, dice and accessories makers, board game cafés and specialist retailers, and the broader European and international tabletop gaming community. Board games launch at SPIEL Essen as the industry’s principal European release window; the fair is where publishers debut the year’s new releases into the German-language market and the broader European tabletop scene. For the global tabletop gaming community, SPIEL Essen is the calendar’s principal European fair.
What to Expect
New Game Releases
Publishers debut over 1,700 new board and tabletop game releases each year at SPIEL Essen, the industry's principal European release window and the fair's signature draw for hobbyists.
Open Gaming & Try-It Tables
Every exhibitor booth provides try-it-tables where attendees play through new releases with staff, the fair's defining hands-on format that distinguishes it from show-floor-only trade shows.
Publisher & Designer Meet-and-Greets

SPIEL Essen Exhibit FAQ’s
We start with a strategic consultation to align your booth footprint with your brand goals. Our design team then creates detailed 3D renderings and mood boards for your approval. This collaborative phase allows for unlimited revisions, ensuring the final structure is a perfect reflection of your brand before we move to fabrication.
Renting offers maximum flexibility and lower upfront costs, making it ideal for brands that want a “custom” look without the long-term storage and maintenance fees. Purchasing is recommended for organizations with a consistent, fixed footprint attending four or more shows annually. We can provide a side-by-side cost analysis to help you determine which model maximizes your ROI.
Our turnkey solution is a true “concept-to-dismantle” service. It includes initial 3D design, custom fabrication, high-quality graphics production, freight coordination, and on-site labor for installation and dismantling. We handle the venue logistics and technical details so your team can walk onto the show floor and immediately focus on lead generation.
Absolutely. We specialize in seamless LED integration using premium tiles (1.5mm and 1.9mm pixel pitch) from brands like BeMatrix and Aluvision. Whether you need a small focal point or a massive digital backdrop, our rentals include professional setup and technical support to ensure your digital content looks flawless on the show floor.
For fully custom builds and complex LED installations, we recommend a lead time of 8 to 12 weeks. This ensures adequate time for design approvals and secures your spot in our production schedule.
