| | Kulkmann“s G@mebox - SPIEL 2004 at Essen / Germany |
 | | I had already suspected that the Spiel once again had grown, but here my supicions were confirmed since a representative from the Merz Verlag told that the exhibition area had grown by another 5000 square meters in comparison to 2003, now reaching a total exhibition size of 42.820 square meters. |
 | | Furthermore, the Spiel also is the time for the awards ceremony of the Deutscher Spiele Preis, and this year the award went to Sankt Petersburg by Michael Tummelhofer - the same game which had already been awarded the International Gamers Awards earlier this year. |
 | | My stay at the Spiel this year was definately to short, but sometimes work cannot be arranged in a way to fit in with everything else. |
