Stream Catch Up - Space Worm

3 Comments

Justin is joined by Rose from ITB Board Games with Space Worm, designed by Reiner Knizia.

While some of our younger audiences may not remember the golden era of the 3310 mobile phones with their highly popular Snake game, this may come as quite a surprise that it’s very tactical and fun to roll and write your way across this arcade themed game by Reiner Knizia.

Don’t slither too fast or you may crash!

Stream Catch-Up - Sonic Sowle Games & Adventure Awaits

4 Comments

Ben got a chance to sit down with Alan from Sonic Sowle Games to discuss the new game, Adventure Awaits, which is going to be coming to Kickstarter at some point this year.

The game is a toolkit for storytelling and offers up a lot of chance for alternative adventures, interesting quests, and maybe a boost to those who want to start role-playing. Or, maybe those who don’t have the time for a proper role-play session every week.

Stream Catch Up - Deneb

8 Comments

Ryan is joined by one of our own awesome community members of OnTableTop, DaveHawes is talking about his tactical miniature game, Deneb.

Click here to check out the Deneb Project here

  • The key mechanics are around choice rather than randomness. A game of Deneb has at most, two coin-tosses for random elements, and everything else is down to player choice.
  • It’s a skirmish-like game, but it uses tiles (which have built-in rules for elevation and other terrain effects) to build a grid for gameplay, and all movement and measurement is tile based.
  • It’s quick to play, with the smallest size games taking 30-60 mins, and the biggest 60-90 mins.

From something that has started on our very own website using the projects system we’re highly excited to see what happens with Deneb and we hope to see Dave back again in the future with the success of his hobby!

Assembling The Doomsday Robot with DigiSprite

2 Comments

Elaine and the team at DigiSprite travelled all the way from the heights of Dundee to deliver us the doom of our kind.

Showing off two games, their release from last year, Doomsday Bots, returns to UK Games Expo to deliver robot assembling action. Whilst their new game Adventure Mart packages all the management simulation you could want but with a fantasy 7/11 feel. If the videogames Recettear and Moonlighter were given a cardboard, competitive twist!

Stream Catch Up - White Wizard Games

4 Comments

Rob has landed in the streaming room with Ryan to talk about their awesome card game Epic, from White Wizard Games.

While Epic gives you the full trading card game experience at a tiny fraction of the cost, Epic is NOT a trading card game. There are no random packs or hard-to-get cards. When you buy the game, you get everything you need to play. You know exactly what cards you’re getting.

Are you ready for a new and improved card game?

Stream Catch-Up - Redwell Games

5 Comments

Ryan is joined by Tom from Red Well games at UK Games Expo 2019.

Six Gun Showdown is a quick 2 player game of shootouts in the Wild West. The game takes 5-10 minutes to play for ages 9+. It combines strategy, memory and a dexterity element, like a “quick-draw” that serves to generate tension and guides the players to read their opponent’s actions, really immersing them into the feeling of being in a shootout.

With a quick draw at your side can you keep to speed with Tom from Red Well Games.

Is that a revolver in your pocket or are you excited by UKGE coverage?
