Elk jaar organiseren we XXL evenementen. En de eerste van 2025 vindt plaats in Utrecht op een prachtige locatie! Graag nodigen wij je uit om langs te komen op zaterdag 8 februari in Bibliotheek Neude. Meer dan 20 bordspelontwerpers zullen van 10.00 – 17.00 hun laatste games presenteren.
Alle spelauteurs presenteren een hele of halve dag hun nieuwe spel(len). Binnenkort zullen we op onze website en social media kanalen aangeven welke spellen er kunnen worden getest. En wie weet, misschien ontdekt je je nieuwe favoriete spel 🙂

Om 17.00 uur, na het spelen van alle nieuwe bord- en kaartspellen, volgt er een presentatie en paneldiscussie over de ups & downs van Crowdfunding. Wat zijn de ervaringen van verschillende bordspelauteurs? En hoe kunnen ze elkaar helpen om bordspelprojecten succesvol te maken op Kickstarter of Gamefound?
