Ever since the beginning of GameDuell, its mission has been bringing people together to have a good time with games. However, it's not only games that we're being social with. Here, at GameDuell, we’ve been big fans of throwing barbecues on our rooftop terrace but lately we’ve discovered something that’s even better. Bull riding on a western barbecue.

This year is a special year: our popular Skat and Rommé Tournament celebrates its 10th anniversary this weekend, July 25-26, 2015. Established by our collaborated forces with German Skat Association (Deutscher Skatverband e.V.) in 2005, we’ve been an exclusive partner for the tournament ever since!

In case you haven’t heard, the revenues of mobile games are to overtake console games already in 2015. The gaming industry is facing a decisive shift of interest towards mobile games, which are expected to grow 51% in North America, 47% in Western Europe, and, above all, 86% in China this year. A real social phenomenon, mobile games have swiftly penetrated the contemporary pop culture and it seems that they’re here to stay. How did that happen? These 6 facts about mobile games explain it all.

GameDuell’s Art Director Ian Bowden is burning bridges between his game persona and the real self. 

On June 25, 2015 GameDuell hosted the Games.net BERLIN meets POLAND Roundtable. About 50 developers, publishers and marketing specialists of various games companies and representatives of industry associations and the political sphere discussed their experiences and strategies for user acquisition and online marketing.

Last Friday night we had our Summer Party – an annual event that we organize for the entire GameDuell team. This time, we decided to protest against the wind and rain that the month of June was ‘blessing’ us with and prove that the real summer comes from within! So we headed to our favourite beach club in Berlin – “Beach Mitte” – and warmed up with a Beach Volleyball Fun Tournament there, jazzed up by an adventurous high rope climbing, a delicious barbecue, and a whole night of dancing.

We mentioned before that we like sports at GameDuell. And we are not talking about sitting in one of Berlin’s beer gardens in front of the screen to watch others move (although we enjoy doing that as well). We like to actually get out, get moving and do sports. Table tennis, football, beach volleyball – you name it! Our team members have organized groups and regularly meet up, for fun, for exercise, for competition. Self-evidently, we were also eager to participate in Berlin’s 14th Firmenlauf – together with 15.000 other runners, walkers, skaters, handbikers, wheelchair and unicycle users from a multitude of companies in the entire city.

Last week, one of the most popular GameDuell games, Rummy, was finally re-launched on our website www.gameduell.com.
