Dawn sits down to have a chat about an awesome add on for gaming. Dized promises to real time to teach you how to play your games. Companies are literally reaching out to these guys for them to build the interface for their rules.

This will take the burden off of someone to have to read the rules and try to teach the game the game to you and your friends. Pretty cool!

Dawn had a look at an exciting new game called Lightseekers. Lightseekers combines video gaming with tabletop and card gaming. You can play the game strictly in the app, strictly on the tabletop or as a hybrid of the two.

Probably the coolest aspect of this is the interactive figures that can be used in the game. You see them come to life in the game and they have interchangeable parts so you can switch their weapons and accessories.

The changes you make to your figure are recognized real time in the games.

One of the great things about the UK Games Expo is the fact that you can dive into the Open Gaming Room and play some of the board games and card games you've picked up over the weekend.

With that in mind we take a look at two of them, Viticulture and Ticket To Ride, as they are great for the tabletop.
