My SPIEL Essen routine?
8 a.m. at the convention. 7 p.m. leaving the halls.
And then… straight back to the hostel to “work” — uploading new games, updating listings, and sorting everything for Spielradar.
Although today, you couldn’t really call it work.
Because I met @bagirimana — and he told me all about his Kickstarter project (Davos) .
He’s full of passion and determination, and honestly, these encounters are what make SPIEL so special for me.
Every year I’m surprised, not only by what happens during the convention,
but also after:
🎲 Playing games in a pub with people you just met
🍽️ Great dinners with the colleagues from Itten💡 Or meeting someone like Marti in your hostel — aka think tank, aka start-up Valley
Marti’s game is still on Kickstarter — it’s fun, sharp, and has a social twist, critiquing what happens behind the scenes at the famous (or not so famous) Davos conventions.
📸 Here’s a picture of the two of us, brainstorming in the hostel — exactly where ideas (and friendship) start.

Meine SPIEL-Essen-Routine?
8 Uhr morgens auf dem Messegelände. 19 Uhr raus aus den Hallen.
Und dann… zurück ins Hostel zum „Arbeiten“ – neue Spiele hochladen, Einträge aktualisieren, Shop vorbereiten.
Nur – heute konnte man das kaum Arbeit nennen.
Denn ich habe Marti kennengelernt – und er hat mir von seinem Kickstarter-Projekt erzählt (Davos) .
So viel Leidenschaft, so viel Entschlossenheit! Genau solche Begegnungen machen für mich die SPIEL so besonders.
Jedes Jahr überrascht mich nicht nur, was auf der Messe passiert,
sondern auch, was danach geschieht:
🎲 Spieleabende mit neuen Bekanntschaften in einer Kneipe
🍽️ Abendessen mit den Kolleginnen und Kollegen von @itten_games
💡 Oder Begegnungen wie mit Marti im Hostel – aka Think Tank, aka Start-up Valley.
Martis Spiel ist noch auf Kickstarter – witzig, gesellschaftskritisch und mit einem Augenzwinkern auf das, was bei den berühmten (oder nicht so berühmten) Dav

Sounds depressing? To me, it feels like freedom. No stage lights, just me and a new chapter: Spielradar ✨
Some of you might know my old shop, Aroshops. It gave me so much—but let’s be honest, the name wasn’t exactly easy to remember (“Arodrops? Arfolops?” 🤷♂️).
So here we are: Spielradar. A place to find games you won’t see anywhere else. Indie gems. Rare imports. The kind of titles I’ve been hauling boxes for at conventions for years.
This isn’t a start from zero, it’s a continuation. A chapter I’m excited to share with you.
👉 What do you think of the name Spielradar? Drop a comment—you might be the first one ever.
👉 And if you’re curious: follow here, subscribe on the website, or watch out for TikTok soon.
Let’s see where this journey takes us 🚀

History Timeline
Spielradar didn’t start as Spielradar - it evolved from Aroshops, our first venture into bringing indie board games to a wider audience. While Aroshops will always hold a special place in our hearts, we realized that Spielradar is a name that’s easier to remember and better reflects our mission for the future.
Our Foundation – Aroshops
Our first online shop, built with the same goal: helping small publishers get their games into the hands of players. Every lesson we learned from Aroshops shaped what Spielradar is today.
First Asian Publisher – Origame (Singapore)
Partnering with Origame marked a new chapter in Spielradar’s journey. Their culturally rich titles like Kopi King and Wok and Roll bring everyday Asian stories to the table—exactly the kind of hidden gems we want to make accessible for players in Europe.
First Essen Spiel Convention
Attending Essen Spiel, the world’s biggest board game convention, was an eye-opener. Meeting publishers face-to-face changed everything – it’s not just about sending emails and negotiating prices, it’s about understanding the passion and creativity behind every game. Ever since, Essen Spiel has been a yearly tradition for us. Now I also attend many other conventions and events.
The Birth of Spielradar
With Spielradar, we set out to do more than just sell games. We wanted to make rare, indie, and international board games accessible to a larger audience – and thanks to our incredible community, we’re making that vision a reality.
