28 – 30 May 2027 · Stadtsaal Kufstein

The festival in Kufstein

Spü Ma – the festival for newcomers, hardcore gamers and everyone
still on their way to becoming one.

While everyone else is still hunting for the rulebook, we're already playing .
Here, games get explained – by gamers, for gamers.
From organized plays, open tables and challenges to tournaments and great events –
THIS is your board game festival.

By the way: Spü Ma is Tyrolean dialect for “let's play” – which is pretty much the whole programme.

A wide range of exhibitors Events & stages Organized plays Tournaments 800+ games to try Erklärbär teams on site Game nights From board to bed

A festival by gamers for gamers

You asked for it – and in 2027 we are making even more of it:
more events, more games played together, even more community.
SPÜ MA is not a trade fair you walk through, but a festival built around playing together.

Erklärbär teams

Our “explainer bears” teach you the games – no wrestling with rulebooks. Just sit down and play.

Meet new people

Open tables and rounds for everyone who wants to have fun together.

Game nights

When the lights go out in the exhibitor area, we are far from finished.

From board to bed

The name says it all: stay the night right at the venue.

Games flea market

Pass on old treasures, discover new finds – fair & transparent.

For everyone

Whether you are new to the hobby or play every week – everyone is welcome here.
