Marcel Köhler
Dutch historian and game designer, will be at Play 2025
Marcel is a Dutch historian, game designer, and publisher. He is most known for his game Dutch Resistance: Orange Shall Overcome!, a board game about non-violent resistance against the nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Inspired by well-researched true stories from that time period, the game is fun but also teaches you about this topic. The characters in the game are all based on real people who all played a role in the Dutch resistance. This thematic game makes you ask yourself the question: “What would I have done in that situation?”
Marcel received the Dutch Board Game Author prize for this game, as well as second place in the Hidden Gem category in the 2023 Meeples Choice Award from Board Game Revolution.
