Unfortunately, I won’t be able to write a This Month in Board Gaming post this month. I ended up being on an unintended board gaming and social media hiatus.

Normal service will resume next month!

That being said, the biggest and (in my opinion) most important aspect of the UKGE is definitely the games. I’m drawn to the UKGE by the promise of demoing the latest releases or pre-releases and seeking out other games to play or buy. So today, in no particular order, I want to share my UKGE 2018 hit list.

The UK Games Expo (UKGE) is arguably the biggest highlight of the UK tabletop gaming calendar. Board game enthusiasts along with board game designers, publishers and retailers transcend on the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham for 3 epic days of gaming. Last year was my first time at the expo, where I attended Saturday and Sunday, and I loved every minute of it! Now, with UKGE 2018 fast approaching, I want to share 8 lessons that I learnt from UKGE 2017 – and how I’ll be getting the most out of this year!
