Highlights from SPIEL Essen 2025: NASTOLA Games Returns to Germany

For the second year in a row, NASTOLA Games, together with Boarderia and Sly Foxes Games, represented Bulgaria as the country’s only board game publishers and exhibitors at SPIEL Essen 2025.

Nasty Neighbors – Strong Interest and Great Feedback

Our international edition of Nasty Neighbors, featuring a refreshed design, received excellent feedback, and all copies brought to the fair were sold out during the event.

SLAPS Prototype Premiere

We showcased the first prototype of our new game, SLAPS, inspired by the popular brainrot characters. The concept was very well received by visitors and playtesters.

Global Connections and Partnerships

We met fans from around the world, including many Bulgarians living abroad, and held meetings with publishers from Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, and Argentina about future localizations.
We also explored new titles and collaborations with manufacturers and illustrators.
