Don’t get me wrong, the 5 in 4 days is a lot, very heavy but I’ve made it work and so grateful to my work for allowing me to trial this before putting the formal request in.

I recently started condensed hours meaning I work 5 days in 4 so that I can have Fri-Sun non-work days. Honestly would recommend it so much, being able to have that extra day has made such a massive difference on my mental health actually enjoying the time off and switching off from Work.

Donated blood for the first time today and it made me feel really good. I’m hoping to continue doing it as much as I can. I’m proud of myself.

From left to right: a pencil with black pips etched into it for using as pencil die, a wire-bound notebook opened to a single page, showing a level of the game, a bookmark at an angle partially covered by the notebook, some text and a logo. The text says "Pencil Book Quest: A pencil & paper dungeon crawler. 1 player, 5-10 minutes, 14+". The logo is an arrow that has been altered to also look like a pencil.

Calling all boardgame (and possibly TTRPG?) content creators!

Unfortunately I’m in the disappointed camp. Was underwhelmed. Perhaps I was expecting too much though. I’ve heard polarising views so recommend watching and reporting back? :)

28 years later… horror in the morning with my cup of coffee 😆

Nothing better than being sat in the cinema at 10:30am alone, surrounded by others who have also attended alone. ☺️ so many of us! Love it.

Roll player? 😃

First 2-player game of Sakana Stack by @huffnomore.bsky.social and absolutely love it, very strategic when to play your high volume cards and when to pass. So glad this one got 2 player rules (which work great!)

It was the first place we went to and there was already queues quite long 😆 glad you got everything though. Bus and stop sold out I heard.

For a second I thought I was looking into my bag, good choices have been made 💪🏻🙌🏻😆

Our hotel for UKGE was very expensive this year, I looked at the same hotel, same room for next year and it’s over £150 cheaper because I booked now ahead of the show this week (on booking.com with free cancellation and pay at the hotel next year when we arrive) highly recommend if you can.

The packaging makes these so professional (not that they weren’t before), great touch, very classy 🥰 I’m in need of a new dice tray so I’ll make a visit

The new Saashi game: The great evening Banquet whilst you’re there for Bus & Stop 😃

This little fellow isn’t a bigot, he loves everyone 🥰❤️

Still doing research ahead of #UKGE had lots of items to look through on the preview list. Last 10-15 items to look up, home stretch.

Happy planning all!

Perfect Sunday morning, a book, my best friend and even some muted Tennis on the tv 🥰

Not sure if you’ve heard of the Shop and drop points at UKGE, it’s my go to, allows you to drop things in and pick stuff up throughout the day to save carrying everything all the time. I believe there’s three at this years events in various halls. 😄 (I think it used to be £3 per day)

72 titles I’m interested in checking out at this years Expo, some of which I’ve already pre-ordered (Luz) others I own (Bus & Stop)

UK Games Expo 2025 Preview Now in its 19th year, UK Games Expo (UKGE) is the largest hobby games convention in the UK. This preview highlights new games available for demo or purchase.

Oh wow, I’ve never tried this game looks really fun!

I need one of these badges 🙏🏻👀

Do you find some games are a little cramped? Or generally all okay? I would love a larger table but would need a plan for where it would go as the current game room is long and narrow.

110cm by 150cm. Comfortably sits four but struggle to get some games to this table due to the space needed, for example could only get a 3p game of Grand Austria Hotel on the table a fourth player wouldn’t fit.

Haha, I used to put it off all the time and it would eat me up, but I only had myself to blame because i didn’t let them know so how could I expect them to do anything different. Good luck! Honestly it’ll work out 💪🏻🙏🏻

Great write up. Whilst they don’t have hall one for exhibitors it will be used as ticket desks and bring and buy which frees up more space in the other halls which is great! If I see you I’ll try to say hello. 🙋🏼‍♂️

I would try to be honest with this person, perhaps when you have some 1 on 1 time with them just mention that the games they bring aren’t something you enjoy playing, perhaps they could bring them less frequently as a compromise as they might love these games. I think it’s all about communication 😇

Thank you this is great to hear, will keep an eye out for you over the weekend 😄
