[Homepage link](http://www.spielefest.at) - only available in german… Date: November 16th to 18th, 9am to 7pm. Most of the things shown are board- and cardgames, but there are booths with videogames and roleplaying games as well. On most booths you get a decent explanation of games and many even offer short demo-rounds. There’s also a game-lending area, where you can borrow most games and play them on your own. My girlfriend and I will be there on the 17th. Anyone of you looking to attend? ---

Honestly, I wasn’t really impressed when I went to that Con two years ago… They were heavily focused on boardgames and entertainment for kids. There was a room for RPGs and tabletops, but it felt less than what Harry offers in his shop. 😉 I think the VFGC is more suited for players like us, but if some of you decide to go there I might show up too. ---

That sounds interesting AND easy to get to! It’s in my calendar, but I won’t be able to say anything firmly until closer to the date. ---

So, the Spielefest is only a week away now. My GF and I will be there, as will Bazhell, as I heard yesterday. Who else plans on participating? ---

Well, it was nice! They expanded the LARP-section, and let dressed people in at no fee. The main focus was still board- and kids games, but the consoles got (or used) less space (but that space was now used for dolls). Games I’m probably going to buy: - [Thunderstone Advance](http://www.pegasus.de/393+M5ae87048417.html)(liked the original, the new Base-set is good for starting, compatible with the previous expansions, has a bit new rules that build upon or chanbe the old ones. Streamlined and made better) - [Die Zwerge](http://www.pegasus.de/393+M57dfb9d1b16.html) (plays a bit like [Fury of Dracula](http://www.heidelbaer.de/einzelansicht-spiel/spiel/fury_of_dracula/) but without one player having to take over the evil side.) Games I’m going to give a second look: - Santa Cruz - Die Legende von Andor
