Spiel-a-thon 2011 raises $1500!

Spiel-a-thon at BGG Con raised over $1500 for The Spiel Foundation!

More money means more game bundles for kids and seniors. We really appreciate all the support we receive from players and publishers alike.

Congrats to Kris Moulton and Jonathan Kinney for winning this year's team-trivia game!
