In issue 5/2025, we present Stefan Feld's new game, which once again impresses with clever mechanisms and thematic depth—a must for frequent players! In the second part of our interview, Harald Schrapers and Maren Hoffmann talk about their work on the “Game of the Year” jury: How is the decision-making process, what criteria are decisive, and how is the gaming scene changing? We also take a look at the far north: An unusual game café is being created in Iceland that not only attracts game enthusiasts, but also creates a meeting place for young and old.
If you can't make it to Essen, we have plenty of reading material for you in issue 5/2025: a portrait of Hisahi Hayashi (author of Bomb Busters), an interview with Frank Jäger at Ludo Fact about the production of board games, and a visit to what may be the largest game store in the US in Rochester. And, of course, we have once again tested many new games for you in detail, such as Waldmeister (the new game by Stefan Feld), Artengarten, Duell um Cardia, Voyage, Voyage, Saltfjord, Everdell Duo, and many more.
