Julia Zerlik from Frankfurt made her way to Essen on Tuesday. The big festival of the board game industry is coming up: the “Spiel”. By Sunday, around 200,000 board game fans will have visited – or rather played on – the largest trade fair for board games on a record area of almost 70,000 square meters in six halls. For Zerlik, this is always work. She is one of 14 members of the “Game of the Year” jury. The prize has existed since 1979. It provides guidance as to which of the several hundred new trade fair products and the many other board games that are released every year are of good quality.
