Spiel Essen 2025 hit hard… and so did our FOMO. In this episode, we break down everything we assume went down in Germany this year, share the standout titles that had us drooling from afar, and make a bold promise: we’re finally attending a board game convention in 2026! Emerson faces a board-game-con quiz, we revisit the games that fueled our envy, and yes… we genuinely debate whether you can get through a convention center’s security with a microwave... (Don’t ask why. Just go with it.)
If you couldn’t make it to Essen either, this episode is basically your emotional support recap. Let’s unpack the FOMO together.
