Our trip to the Internationale Spieletage 2022 in Essen, Germany.
After 2 years not going to any gaming convention, we were hyped to leave early morning for a road trip to SPIEL 2022 in Essen and a Saturday plenty of gaming goodies.

This year we planned our trip carefully in advance to really focus on the stands we liked to visit. Also we brought our own food this time.
