We have just got back from another incredible Spiel Essen show. It was the busiest show yet, it was brilliant to see customers old and new and to get to play our games with some fabulous people. Roll on Spiel Essen 2026.

Great to see you again Sarah. Thanks for all your hard work with Guildlands.

Essen Spiel is officially over. It was our first time exhibiting here. We had a blast. And here is a good sign... 3 skids shipped to Essen... 1 skid going back.

Last day Guildlands Spiel Essen fun!

I'll be sure to buy the other lift game too when that comes out.

Love your cover artwork for both games. Especially Ghost Lift.

Shiny new games from Spiel Essen!
