Last week we visited Spielwarenmesse 2018 (Jan 30th - February 3rd), a vast 5 day Toy and Games Trade Show in Nuremberg, Germany. With many halls to visit our priority was visiting the two halls that focused on Board Games, with many familiar names and even unexpectedly bumping into a few friends whilst wandering the halls.
