Overview
Paju Spiel is an outdoor board game festival that recreates the excitement of Germany's Essen 'Spiel', the world's largest board game festival, in Paju. Operated by Korea Boardgames, a company specializing in board games, it has grown steadily since its first event in 2023 to become a major regional festival with 20,000 participants. This festival takes place amidst the exotic scenery of the Gyeonggi Future Education Paju Campus, away from the stuffy indoor exhibition halls of the city. The 'board game outing,' where visitors enjoy board games in a beautiful garden under the warm spring sun, is the unique identity of Paju Spiel. It is a festival that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can enjoy, from board game enthusiasts to beginners and family visitors. Celebrating its 4th anniversary, Paju Spiel 2026 has established itself as a representative cultural landmark for the spring season, where the laughter of families never ceases.
