What the festival offers

Planszówki w Spodku is a two-day festival and trade fair for board games that has run without interruption since 2018. The organiser, Ludiversum, presents titles for casual and hardcore players. You will find board games, card games and RPGs on display. The fair also features puzzles, books, comics, handcrafts and geek gadgets. A large games room sits on the Spodek floor. Two rental libraries list over 700 titles, split into general and family collections. Publishers from across Poland present new releases. Expect promotions, sales and prototype tables. The programme includes prize tournaments and roleplaying sessions. The scale of the event means it now fills Spodek and much of the nearby International Congress Centre.

Board games festival Katowice in context

Spodek is an iconic multiuse arena in Katowice and a well known venue across Silesia. The location helps the festival attract visitors from nearby cities and abroad. Organisers use both the arena and the MCK conference centre to host exhibitors and gaming tables. The event ranks among Poland’s biggest gatherings for analog entertainment. For publishers and designers, it serves as a major launch platform. For players, it is a chance to try new games before retail release. Many attendees treat the weekend as a social meeting as much as a shopping opportunity.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: Tickets list a reduced price (ulgowy). In Poland, reduced fares often apply to students and seniors; you may need to show ID at entry. Polish events often accept card payments and cash. If officials ask for proof of identity, people commonly present a passport or national ID. The PESEL is a Polish national identification number used in many administrative processes, but you will not need it to enter a festival. Public transport in Katowice serves Spodek well, and organisers usually place signs in English at major entrances.

Planszówki w Spodku appeals to beginners and veteran players alike. You can attend solo, with friends or with family. The environment suits all ages and gaming tastes. If you miss the giveaway, tickets remain on sale through the organiser’s channels. Check official festival pages for the latest programme and exhibitor list.
