The GAME in Essen was a big celebration - but as has now become known, there is also some sad news: Chris Gabrielson, one of the authors of the board game Company of Heroes, died on the sidelines of the game fair.
Chris Gabrielson was the founder of the publishing company Bad Crow Games, which recently adapted the video game Company of Heroes as a board game. Both editions of the game brought in a total of around two million US dollars Kickstarter generated.
