Last Monday I presented my board game Day & Night for the first time at an event for game fanatics! We can call Zuiderspel, a new yearly event in Eindhoven, a big succes. There were more than 700 visitors (while the organisation estimated between 500 and 700 visitors before the event), and that's a lot for a "small board games event" (especially if I think back of Days of the Dice in 2007).
Sebastiaan and I were there with a big selection of original arts. Unfortunately illustrator Eerin Vink couldn't come this time (her cat needed her help after a pretty big operation)... Specially for this event Eerin made a new Day & Night art, that visitors could win in a contest (create the best name for the art). Frank van Wanrooy won with his name 'Mesmerizing Gaze' (though we all liked 'The Blue Hour' of Johan
Heine, 'Cleansing Winds' of Marjolein Pronk, 'Dandelion Dream' of Aukje Veenstra and 'Clouded Pulsars' of Renee van Wanrooy a lot too).At the beginning of the event we had only 2 tables where enthousiasts could try and play the game. But after only 30 minutes it was so crowded that we could use another 2 tables from our neighbour 999 games! And even then, there was not enough space as you can see on the picture; people were even playing behind the paintings!
The regional channel made a short video of the event, where you can see Day & Night for a few seconds. In the Day & Night group over at Facebook I posted more pictures.
The Elf Fantasy fair is coming up, a big fantasy event with a dazzling 20.000 visitors and we're planning something very special! More about this, soon...!
