Devir Games Take Us Through Some Of Their New Games
Devir Games have brought a bunch of new games with them to UKGE, many of which we have enjoyed playing ourselves this past week.
Let us know which of these games catches your eye. Fancy a Picnic?
Taking Inspiration from the Past with The Historic Games Shop
Ryan gets to talk to Jon from The Historic Games Shop about some of his new dice games that he has been developing. Drawing from his practice in making ancient and medieval board games like Alquerque and Hnefatafl, Jon introduces Faerie Dice.
Pushing our Luck with Chip Theory Games
Ryan chats to Andrew from Chip Theory Games about two of their games: Hoplomachus and Too Many Bones. Both games from Chip Theory are renowned for their single player and A.I mechanics so don’t worry if your board game night collapses all of a sudden!
More Concept & 7 Wonders with Repos
Ryan joins Nicholas from Repos Productions to talk about the new games from them. One of Ryan’s favourite games of the last few years has a new kids edition so you can teach your younglings to play. And Nicholas also explains one of the new 7 Wonder expansions: Armada
I like the new format very professional :).
Have fun, and spend, spend, spend
Oh dear… Justin in a red shirt…. red shirts never last long.
wish I was there…. so many goodies and cool things to see
If you live near Birmingham or can get there over the next three days I highly recommend this show. We loved last year and it is eating us up we can’t be there this year.
Wish we were there, but this is certainly the next best thing. Have a great show, guys!
Keep you eyes peeled for the guys from the Average gamers podcast! Represent!
Glad to see you talking a bit of Gaslands – I’ve not managed to give it a shot yet, but it looks a lot of fun. I mean who wouldn’t want to convert up some old Hot Wheels to game with?
Check out Village Attacks at the Grimlord Games booth, and Last Days at the Osprey booth
Have a good one!
Seriously it’s about time someone started covering these events properly, absolutely brilliant coverage guys, really enjoying it.
Thanks for bringing us the highlights. Stuck at home doing DIY and chores for the missus… and it’s not even a bank holiday!
Can’t wait to see what other show exclusives you can bring us
I have found the secret to success!
Spray paint random stuff with silver and brass tones spraypaint and call it “Steam Punk”………
Otherwise everything looks pretty awesome at this years Con!
Minis are white, minis are grey, I like to paint minis every day.
Looking like more and more great stuff! Really nice variety in games and styles too!
Fantastic coverage as always.
Such a better format this year guys well done!
For some reason Gaslands reminds of an old game Battle Cattle where you up-armoured bovines in to a mighty fighting moochines 🙂
Nice to see you having fun.
This seems to be an awsome event!
Enjoy the expo, beasts of war. Looking forward to all of the updates
Fantastic coverage and community involvement, website looks great!
Saw Justin and John dive past me this afternoon and had some very starstuck boys. It was such a great day,we’re now catching up on all your content of the bits we missed. Hopefully we’ll be back up sunday for some more gaming!
Awesome, Wish I could be there
Great new style for the site.
Spent way too long looking at all these articles 😊
