UK Games Expo 2021: Sunday Live Blog

So we have come to the end of another UK Games Expo. This year has been different but no less impressive thanks to the work of the UKGE crew and their army of volunteers.

In this video, Free and Justin chat with Richard and Tony, the organisers of the UK Games Expo, and discuss what they thought about the show. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and we’ll be back next year for more!

Free heads over to the Z-Man Booth, where Asmodee has taken over! Set up on their booth there are some popular titles that have been adapted for new gamers to immerse themselves in already established universes.

Whether it be the Infinity Gauntlet version of Love Letters, or the Cthullu version of Pandemic. Players can demo these popular titles before committing to buy over at the Z-Man Games Booth.

Free had made her way over to Pauper’s Ladder from Bedsit Games, and she immersed herself in a lilac-coated fantasy universe.

Where players take the role of paupers as they undergo quests, striving to learn three of the five virtues: generosity, fellowship, bravery, knowledge, and magnificence.

Thanks to a request from Gerry, we dived in to talk about SLA Industries and their games here at the UK Games Expo.

These folks do some awesome stuff for both roleplaying and miniature wargaming under Nightfall Games. The 2nd Edition of their game might be a pretty darn fun game to dive into.

Do you love puns? Do you love fluffy bunnies? Well, it might be worth giving Warren Wars a go on the tabletop. This game features adorable little rabbits that have been forced to go to war by their masters!

This game is chock full of puns and all sorts so if you’re interested in a quick card game for 2-4 players that is a little tongue in cheek, maybe this is worth a shout.

One of the big things about setting up for a convention is that you need to have some vendors. ZATU is one of those sponsors this year for the UK Games Expo and they have a vast selection of games for you to try.

These folks cater to all kinds of gamers. Want your light, social deduction games? They got you. Want something a bit heavier, they got you too!

UKGE is not just for adults. With Coiledspring heading up the Family Gaming Area and the feature of the Children’s RPG area, for kids that have started early into the worlds of the tabletop – there are more worlds to explore and more mechanics to learn with the plethora of board games available at the event.

They’ll be a professional board gamer before you know it!

The NEC Doors have opened for the final day of UKGE. There is so much in store for all attendees.

Whether players are looking to get hold of the newest board games to take home and indulge, be in search of some rare and beautiful gaming accessories, hang out with the Vikings and shake fists as the sky, cursing Thor for the rain he has bestowed on us! There is plenty to do, and plenty to see – and a shorter day to fit it in!

Be sure to plan your day out and check out the award ceremony at the Main Stage at three. Votes are open until 12, so make sure you have cast your votes here!

Come and join us for Day Three of the UK Games Expo. Free, Ben, John and Justin are going to be roaming the halls once more looking to find all the greatest gaming goodness.

As always, make sure to check out the Livestream over on OnTableTop and the UK Games Expo. Then, come and watch the videos back as part of our Live Blog.
