So, have you all made a list of designers and stalls you wanna check out ? Any games that stood out to you ? Anyone volunteering or considering it ? Tips and tricks to share ?

Here! 👋
At present I have two must-buys:
And I list of games I want to take a look at, SideQuest, Lacuna, Splash Party, Earthborne Rangers, Stationfall, Ohanami, Whale to Look, Magical Friends And Where To Find Them, Redwood, Tiwanaku.
As for how to generally handle the Spiel, it depends on what you want to do. Are you more hunting for games you cannot readily get during the year, or old used games that are no longer available? Then ideally have a rough idea what you’re looking for and which companies will sell it, then once the hall plans are your note down who in which hall and where, and then simply do one first lap of just those places before you stop to window shop or play games.
OTOH, if you’re mostly there to try things out, I would exaclty not have too many plans. Just wander about. Do window shopping. Maybe try to do hall-by-hall so you know when you’re “done” with a hall. It’s also a bit much for a single day in this case.
Imma check out the games you listed, they sound interesting!
Yeah, I have some games I’m picking up using the auction. Potentially math trade too ?
This year, my plan is to play more and shop less. I really regret purchases like precognition and don’t want to make such a mistake again. Also keen on working for some of the publishers as a volunteer “rules explainer”. Let’s see how that goes 😅
I am going for all 4 days. So, don’t have to worry about going through all the halls in a day.
