Once again, Michael Schmitt from the Spielwiese and game designer Jeffrey Allers are hosting a party after the annual Spiel Game Fair in Essen, on Tuesday evening, October 23, starting at 7:00 p.m.  Berlin game designers will be there to teach their new games, and Michael will have other new releases from Essen to play.

The party is open to the public, athough space is limited and it is best to come early. Visiting designers are welcome to show their newly released games as well (please, no prototypes, however). Feel free to contact me or Michael at the Spielwiese in advance (especially if you are a game designer or publisher).

Photo galleries of past parties on my web page ( http://berlingamedesign.blogspot.de/p/annual-after-essen-par…) show some of the fun from the past five years. As you can see, it has been a great mix of games and guests from around the world, and we can even claim that Spiel des Jahres (German Game of the Year) award winner Qwirkle was discovered here!

Hope to see you at SPIEL and at the party in Berlin afterwards!

Best regards,

Jeff and Michael
