With the potential of a 3+ hour drive home, we never planned to stay too long on the Sunday. Some people had already gone, others were busy scouring the halls for last minute deals, and the rest were taking it super easy. It ended up being a day with no demos and no games played… Continue reading And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 4

And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 3
Something we'd heard from folks who attended the recent Expos was that Saturday is easily the busiest day. Because of this, we joined a bunch of gamers getting to the Hitlon open gaming areas early (like 9am early) and sat there for the morning. We enjoyed a really nice chat with Craig (@midlandmeeple) and his… Continue reading And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 3
And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 2
With the Thursday evening done, I was buzzing to get going for the first day in the main halls. Despite convincing myself that we had no goals or agendas for this year's Expo, that all went out the window following the Thursday night preview show. I now had a map and specific stalls we simply… Continue reading And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 2
And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 1
It's been a couple of years since we ventured to Brimingham for the annual epic that is UKGE. Our first time was in 2021, the 'quiet Expo' after the previous year was cancelled for Covid reasons. After that we returned for 2022 and were overwhelmed by the increase in visitors. It was a shock to… Continue reading And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 1
And that was May 2025
How unbelieveably hot it's been in the last month. Despite a wet final few days, most of the month has been windows open to gain some sort of breeze. It's also been quite stressful due to two factors. The first as the ongoing (and now slightly delayed) building work on our garage conversion. The new… Continue reading And that was May 2025
And that was April 2025
Spring is here. The days are longer and the sun has definitely got his hat on. Of course this now means that the sun likes to invade our dining room in the latter half of the day, forcing us to pulled the blind down and prevent the room heating up as well as stop the… Continue reading And that was April 2025
And that was March 2025
As always, passing by March makes time feel like it's moving fast; we're now a quarter of the way through the year! We had a visit to our South coast friends which saw some more 4-player experiences of games we all normally play at 2. And we finally got the chance to see what all… Continue reading And that was March 2025
And that was February 2025
Despite starting February with a gaming high, it went quickly downhill thanks to me becoming ill on the 2nd and not getting any better until the 16th. This meant that not a lot of games were played over the first couple of weeks of February, and our challenges were left wanting. And what of that… Continue reading And that was February 2025
And that was January 2025
A new year has begun. Apparently it happens every 12 months. A lot as changed since the last January post. I got married. I started my second year of Uni. Deadpool and Wolverine came and went. One thing that hasn't changed in the transfer from 2024 to 2025 is our love of board games and… Continue reading And that was January 2025
And that was 2024!
Farewell 2024, and hello 2025. The last 12 months have been, once again, a fantastic time for gaming. We've continued having our visits to fellow Instagram gamers, there were still a nice amount of new games coming in, and our 2024 Challenges were all almost completed (that's right, we failed one). As with last years… Continue reading And that was 2024!
