Our little collection from #UKGE2025! It’s a mix of long-wanted games and minis, new discoveries, and impulse grabs. So many wonderful creators, so little space in the backpack! (Flat lay insistently overseen by Fred the Grave Goods dog.)

Roleplaying and miniatures games laid out on a coffee table, with a Jack Russell terrier in the corner of the frame.

Didn’t expect the #UKGE lurgy to hit on the evening of day 2, but turns out a blocked nose waits for no one. Still, we had an amazing few days and it was lovely to meet such excellent folks in the aisles. We’ll post a photo of our humble haul tomorrow after we’ve mustered the energy to unpack!
