This one’s for the board game lovers - DAU Barcelona returns for its 15th edition, transforming Fabra i Coats into a space for four days of games and competitions. Whether you're a devoted board game lover or someone who’s never ventured past Monopoly, the festival is a chance to discover new games and meet fellow players.
This year's edition features more than 400 games, 200 new releases and 60 activities, with spaces for every kind of player. Gran Dau brings together classic favourites and the latest releases, Dauet caters to children, while Dau Expert offers more challenging games for seasoned players. There's also role playing, historical simulations, traditional Catalan games, and Dau Beta, where visitors can try out games still in development.
For those who really don’t want to stop playing, Dau de Nit keeps the games going until sunrise. The best bit? Entrance is free, so come along and let the games begin.
