Our Arcadia Tables UKGE Special ended up being SO packed with content that we had no choice but to split it into two parts!

If you haven’t already listened to Part One, we’d definitely recommend starting there first… otherwise you may be jumping into the middle of the conversation!

In this second episode, Jay is once again joined by Mark from Arcadia Tables to continue chatting all things Arcadia Village (Stand 4-553) and UK Games Expo in general!

Plus we speak to our final guests, the Minor Disaster Crew, about their game Trouble on the Tempus!

And yes… apologies once again for the slightly rougher audio quality on this episode! We promise the conversation is worth it 🎧

We’ve still got ONE FINAL UKGE preview episode dropping before the event kicks off, so keep your eyes peeled for that too 🔥

UKGE is ALMOST HERE, and to celebrate we've been working on a TRILOGY of episodes all about the UK’s grandest tabletop stage of them all! 🎲✨

Well… that trilogy has officially become a QUADRILOGY!

We recorded SO much great stuff for this episode that we had to split it into two parts!

In Part 1, Jay is joined by Mark from Arcadia Tables to discuss the Arcadia Village (name 100% confirmed! 👀), a collaborative space bringing together talented indie developers exhibiting their games on gorgeous gaming tables, located at stand 4-553!

Not only are we joined by Mark, but also by three fantastic developers who’ll be showcasing their games in the village during the expo!

Apologies in advance for the slightly rougher audio quality on this one, but we promise it’s still packed with great conversation, behind-the-scenes insight, and loads of excitement for UKGE!

Be sure to come back for PART 2, where we’ll be chatting with Minor Disaster Games about Trouble on the Tempus, along with some of our biggest things to look out for at the Expo 🔥

Ever fallen head over heels for a board game, only to discover it is impossible to find, or the shipping costs and import taxes are enough to make you cry?

That's exactly how Revelation Games began.

After facing that same problem themselves, Chris and Guy decided to take matters into their own hands and created a company dedicated to bringing amazing international games straight to UK players, making Essen feel a whole lot closer to home.

In this episode, we dive into Revelation Games’ lineup for UK Games Expo, including exciting new titles making their UKGE debut from publishers like Looping Games, Playte, Creardo, Wulfhorn, Dragon Dawn Productions and more.

Tune in and discover the games you didn't even know about, but might well become your next obsession 🎧🔥

Revelation Games can be found in HALL 4 at stand 425!

It’s that time of year again when the board gaming community heads to the beautiful town of Harrogate for four fantastic days of tabletop gaming at AireCon 🎲.

It wouldn’t feel like AireCon for us at the Bucket List Board Gamers without our annual catch-up with co-founder Mark Cooke!

This year we chat about what attendees can expect from the convention and share some of our top game picks that are perfect for a long weekend of gaming.

We also dig into the details of the event itself: how the halls are laid out, what’s new for this year, what returning visitors will recognise, and the merchandise, food, and other treats you’ll find while you’re there.

If you’re heading to AireCon or simply curious about one of the UK’s most welcoming tabletop gaming festivals, this episode will get you ready for the weekend ahead.

Enjoy! 🎧🎲

It’s officially the start of convention season, and first up on our calendar is the newly revamped Tabletop Gaming Live, taking place this year at Doncaster Racecourse on the 14th and 15th of February 🎲📅

And yes, we’ll be there too, recording a live episode! 🎙️

With Valentine’s weekend setting the scene, love may be in the air when the convention rolls around, but when Jay and Matt caught up it was all about business. Specifically, Tabletop Gaming Live business!

In this episode, we dig into what you can expect from TTGL’s big return, the lessons learned from last time, and who you can catch on the brand new Talks and Live Sessions schedule.

We also tackle a truly vital question: what food and drink will be available for your enjoyment 🍔🍻

We also talk about the balancing act involved in running an event of this scale, the value of hindsight, and what first drew Matt into the tabletop hobby 🎲❤️

Enjoy!
