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 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 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 November 2024
As we close in on the end of this year it's that time when outstanding personal Board game challenges are hunted down, where Top 50 lists are created, and where gaming becomes cosy on those dark, dark evenings. November was a month with less plays than are normal pace. There's no real reason for this… Continue reading And that was November 2024
And that was October 2024
The clocks have gone back and the nights are drawing in. It's a cosy time of year to play board games. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS October was a good month for Kickstarter arrivals, mostly because one of my most anticipated pledges turned up. UNCONSCIOUS MIND from @fantasiagames is now one of the most gorgeous games in our… Continue reading And that was October 2024
And that was September 2024
As we head towards Autumn, we still have lots of games playing days on the calandar, and September was no exception. KICKSTARTER ARRIVALS After months of small card games or nothing at all, September saw the first big box arrival in a while with the ANDROMEDA'S EDGE all-in pledge. I'd just missed DWELLINGS OF ELDERVALE… Continue reading And that was September 2024
And that was July 2024
It's so hot that all of our board games are melting! Just kidding. But damn, is it hot. And with the way sun hits our house in the afternoon and evening, we quite often feel like gaming but have to skip. So definitely less plays this July. New games continue to be thin on the… Continue reading And that was July 2024
And that was June 2024
The end of May and beginning of June was UKGE 2024, but unfortunately we were unable to attend this year due to money and a busy schedule. So instead we got to view the convention through the accounts we follow on social media. We are looking at fitting in a trip to UKGE 2025, finances… Continue reading And that was June 2024
