WHAT DOES SPIEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Spiel

Internationale Spieltage SPIEL, often called Essen after the city where it is held, is an annual four-day game trade fair held in October at the Messe Essen exhibition centre in Essen. Many german-style board games are released at the fair. Unlike the other major German game fair, the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, Spiel is open to consumers as well as publishers and designers. The fair typically releases turnstile attendance, not actual tickets sold, making attendance figures problematic. Essen is said to have peaked with 154,000 turnstile attendees in 2011. In 2012. the organizers announced a turnstile attendance of 149,000. The attendance fluctuates; for example, numbers were low in 2007 due to a German rail strike.
