What I brought from Essen Spiel?

Besides COVID, what else I brought from EssenSPIEL!

We are back after EssenSPIEL and I am here with a short update for you.

First of all, yes, I got COVID at EssenSPIEL. Hence, no vlog or any new materials on our website these few past days. Besides COVID, I brought many games and a ton of cookies – here is my loot after the first day!

Besides cookies I bought a new Eric Lang’s game Life in Retarra, I bought War Story from Dave Thompson, Age of Comics about running a comic book company, and Around the World in 80 Days, because I love Julius Verne novels. I also bought a ton of little games from Japan and Korea.

For Portal Games EssenSPIEL was a chance to meet with our international partners, and discuss how AI Space Puzzle and Thorgal are doing in each of the markets. It was also a chance to present them with our games planned for 2025. We will announce them to public in January next year.

EssenSPIEL also means that Resurgence, expansion to Imperial Miners, and expansion to Neuroshima Hex are officially released, you can support Portal Games and order them directly from us, or ask your FLGS for a copy.

Welcome to PORTAL GAMES

We are bookworms. Movie maniacs. Story addicts. We grew up reading Tolkien, Howard, Herbert, Dick, Lem… We were watching Willow, Blade Runner, Never Ending Story, Robin Hood…

And yet, we don’t write books… we don’t make movies. We don’t make those things, because we make games. We make games that tell stories.
