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!
And that was December 2024
It's the last month of the year and all the game playing of 2024 has been done. I plan to have a review of the year up here in about a week, but for now let's look back over the final month, the festive month, that was December. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS This one went down to… Continue reading And that was December 2024
And that was May 2024
The sun is shining which means I'm doing my best to stay indoors in the shadows and play boardgames with the curtains closed (can't stand that sun glare off the sleeved cards, lol). May has been a slower game month than usual for us. A cancelled meetup, Uni assignment deadlines, and that damn heat, all… Continue reading And that was May 2024
