Me and my mate are going to Essen for the last 10 years, except for the Corona years (they were cancelled) and the first year after because mouthguards where mandatory. We always used to go one day on Thursday or Friday. It’s about an hour and a half drive from our hometown Eindhoven. The first couple of years we parked at the venue, but the last mile would take us about an hour extra. So after a three years we parked our car at the edge of  Essen and take the S-Bahn to central station and from there to the Messe in a very busy U-Bahn. This worked fine but we always felt we were in a rush to see everything and couldn’t play al the demo games we wanted to play. So last year we went for two days on Friday and Saturday and stayed over in an appartement, this gave us al the time we needed to realy enjoy Spiel. We booked a little late so there weren’t that much opportunities for accomodation and the commute to the venue took us quit long. For this year we already booked a hotel a couple of months ago in the neighbourhood of the U-Bahn that goes directly to the Messe for a realy good price. My mates brother is also joining us, so the more the merryer. I’m realy looking forward to going again and would love to see the OTT crew over there, just like a couple of years ago.
