UK Games Expo 2018: Saturday Live Blog
U-Boot was one of our favourite games when we got to play it, and it’s great to see it here at UKGE.
We stopped off with the guys at Phalanx to see how things are getting on with the game, as well as their new game revamping the now out-of-print board game Ankh-Morpork as Nanty Narking.

U-Boot looks fantastic..
U-Boot looks great and hope it does well at retail too.
U-Boot is one of my Kickstarters that I am really looking forward to.Happy I went all in.
I was sad to miss out on U-Boot on KS, but it’s definitely on my BGG wishlist
@dracs should find a lot to like in the Discworld game 🙂 .
I actually already own both of their Discworld games (Ankh-Morpork and The Witches).
Ankh-Morpork is one of my favorite bird games so I’m very happy to see it returning, albeit without the characterful Discworld design.
I am u1864 all in pledge. This game looks like a fantastic gem. Can’t wait
Discworld: Ankh-Morpork is one of my favourite board games. Nanty Narking looks like it’ll fix the biggest problem with it though (that of limited victory conditions) so I’ll definitely be backing it on Kickstarter. Then I can put my Collector’s Edition of Ankh-Morpork away and see how much its worth in a few years!
Cool concept, but I’ve a little claustrophobia. A little too realistic.
Have to look out for Nanty Narking
Eagerly waiting for this one to arrive at my doorstep! Fantastic game and KS campaign
so glad backed this kickstarter – today i finished the pledge manager…. now still waiting….
Man, U-Boot looks like so much fun.
Wow I am loving the disc world game
I really liked the look of this when you guys played it a while back. Its such a great little concept fighting through the sub itself.
since they demo this game at beasts of war i was hooked, very cool concept for a board game.
I enjoyed the lets play that BOW did for this game.
U-Boot, I want U-Boot.
Really regretting not backing u-boot
This is really interesting. I’m looking forward to them getting the Star trek lisence and repurposing their design.
looking forward to uboot when it arrives, haven’t played anything like that in the past
U Boot! I missed it. Will it be hitting retail?
Have been really impressed with phalanx and uboot and really looking forward to what they do in the future
U-Boot looks great with the 3d sub
Good luck fellas, your game looks great.
Ankh-Morpork is a excellent game. Terry Pratchett is greatly missed but I never tire of re-reading his novels and immersing myself in his worlds. Looking forward to Nanty Narking for some more Terry Pratchett inspired goodness.
A friend of mine backed this kickstarter, so I’m hoping I’ll be invited to play u boat when he get it. If dice rolling is involved though I’ll probably sink it tho 🙂
Looks great, loving the board in Nanty Narking, and uboat has been tempting me since I first saw it.
Yeah talked few days about uboot and cought my attention too for a new game on our gaming club, will save some founds on next incomes to try yo get one.
I very rarely do kickstarters, but I did jump on this one.
I regret having to get out of the kickstarter in the middle of the campaign, I simply ran out of funds :((
I hope I can get a good retail version…
