October the 25th  (4 p.m. until midnight) 

Finish up an exciting day at SPIEL Essen with a nice and relaxing game night in the company of other friendly board gamers.

We are hosting our 8th Dice & Mystics Fringe event on Saturday, October 25th, at our location in Bochum, 15 minutes by car from the SPIEL.

The Dice & Mystics Fringe event is, as always, free of costs and totally non-commercial. 

All fellow gamers from all over the world are very welcome at our well-lit gaming tables, and we strive to make it an experience to enjoy, to meet nice people, exchange your impressions, news, and experiences of the fair and have fun maybe unboxing your newly purchased game from the fair, play it together with old and new friends or, perchance, even with its designer or publisher (and also discharge shrink wrap and punched cardboard sheets to lighten your luggage).

There is space and time to play and relax on Saturday from 4.00 p.m. to midnight. However, the places are limited, so we do kindly ask you to make a reservation in advance. To make your booking faster and easier and save you from having to queue at the entrance, we use an online booking service (see below), also free of costs.

There are hotels and restaurants in the vicinity that are no further away by car than some in Essen.

There will again be the opportunity to order food and drinks on the premises; a delivery service will bring everything to the tables. And, of course, teas, coffees and biscuits are free, as always.

Would you like to come?  Make your reservation on:

You are going to receive an automatic confirmation as soon as you are booked, together with a detailed description on how to reach us (just 3 turns from the autobahn; also by public transport) and some important information.

No entry without e-ticket (on mobile device or print version).     

For any important questions you may contact us on contact@diceandmystics.de.

Registration ends on: Saturday, 18.10.2025

Dice & Mystics Double Feature in May 2023

Posted on by

We give you time and space for all those epic board games that need more than a single game night can provide you with. You can bring those loved but long-unplayed gems from your collection to our event to play on large tables and leave them set up overnight. In addition, we have prepared four tables hosting: 

Twilight Imperium, 4th ed (ENG)
Shadows of Brimstone Adventures, Valley of the Serpent Kings (ENG)
Black Rose Wars, Rebirth (DE)
Daggerheart RPG (ENG)* 

You’ll be able to reserve a place at these tables during check-out. Reservations will be handled on a first-come-first-served basis. Please remember that all those games require your participation on both days, as the event is meant to present games that require more time than one game night.
Feel free to bring your own games, such as Civilization, that you want to play but can not due to their long playing time. However, notify us in advance so that we can reserve a table for your game.

*The Daggerheart RPG consists of Session 0, which clarifies general and specific rules, and a one-shot session. You will play pre-generated characters. The session uses a beta ruleset designed to give you a good impression of this new RPG system and familiarize you with its rules and mechanics. Please bring your own set of polyhedral dice, one additional D12 (of a different colour), and one pencil and eraser. 

The event starts on Saturday the 04th of May at 04.00 PM.
At 07.00 PM we are collecting food orders for the delivery service.
At midnight, we close the rooms. Your games can stay overnight, but sadly, we must send you all back to your living places, dens, and lairs.

On the 05th of May, the second day of gaming starts at 09.00 AM.
At 12.30 PM, we are collecting food orders for the delivery service.
At 02.00 PM, we are closing the event softly.
During the whole event, we will provide you with coffee, tea varieties, and cookies for free.
You can order soft drinks from the delivery service with your food order.

You can book your tickets here.

We are looking forward to playing with you.
Good Play, Better Day!
