The Organizers

“Nastolen Grad” is organized by “Da igraem” Foundation in partnership with Mall Veliko Tarnovo.

“Da igraem” Foundation is a nonprofit organisation whose main goal is to introduce to a wider public the magic and excitement of board games and to show people of all ages and different backgrounds that board, social and role games can help us communicate better with each other, build our emotional intelligence and learn to think outside the box. We encourage competitiveness without any hostility, and a spirit of cooperation.

Find out more about us on our Facebook page.

Mall Veliko Tarnovo is the first mall outside of the capital, opened in September 2006. It is located in the heart of Bulgaria - in the town of Veliko Tarnovo, which is a popular cultural, educational and tourist destination.
