This is a month where we played a lot of games. A. Lot. A week off for both of us with zero plans meant it was all about playing as much as we could. A mix of favourites, Shelf Of Shame, and bringing back some old classics, saw us sore to great heights. We even… Continue reading And that was September 2025

And that was August 2025
We started this month with another board game meet up, this time with @getintogames and @mrsgetintogames so a lot of new games got played. I also got to teach them DEAD OF WINTER, one of my favourite games, which was nice. I nearly got my first ever Traitor victory in that, but the pesky dice… Continue reading And that was August 2025
And that was July 2025
Soooooooooo hot! But did that stop us playing games? Heck no. In fact, we went a little epic with three different games days hosted in our new games room (have I mentioned the new games room?) Our first offical guests were @boardgamemeeple and @carrieongaming who brought with them a lot of cool new games for… Continue reading And that was July 2025
And this is our new games room
Like many board gamers, the dream of having a dedicated room to store and play a plethorah of games is real. From day one of moving in together, my now wife and I have been planning some way to accomplish this. Extentions to the house were the first port of call. Something adding to the… Continue reading And this is our new games room
And that was June 2025
As we all slowly melt away, we also cross the half way mark of this year. This month finally saw the completion of our garage conversion (sort of) and so we've finally been getting back into gaming again. Of course the heat doesn't help as all we want to do most nights is collapse on… Continue reading And that was June 2025
And that was UKGE 2025 – Day 4
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
