Good morning from day 3 at UK Games Expo! We're out an about still finding new and interesting things to show you guys, so make sure you get your comments in for your chance to win these amazing prizes including, boardgames, card games, terrain, miniatures games and more!
See What You Think Of The Czech Games Collection
We got to stop in with the guys from Czech Games to find out what games you can play here at the event. They have all manner of cool games to pick up which run the gambit between those which are easy to pick up and play and those for the hardcore fans.
If, for example, you like the look of Through The Ages, I recommend it. Also, Codenames is a big hit!
Talking Collision With Code Orange Games + Win Prizes!
We step in and talk with the guys from Code Orange Games as they take us through the world of Collision, a new skirmish game which is closing in on its release date.
Collision is looking fantastic and you could win yourself three of their Event Miniatures!
Stopping Off With Days Of Wonder
I get a chance to stop off with Days Of Wonder and talk about their fantastic games which are hitting the tabletop including the likes of Small World and their new one, Yamatai.
We really recommend diving these as they are nice and simple games for you to get the family involved.
Fantasy Flight Games Chats About Runewars Expansions
Ben caught up with Fantasy Flight Games to have a chat about Runewars and Arkham Horror.
Check out the new minis and skinny on what's in the cards.

We have another great game for you to check out called Ice Cool from Brain Games which is fantastic for small kids and big kids alike.
The game is dexterity based and has you flicking penguins around a school trying to catch fish. You can also win THIS game by commenting on the Live Blog.
Eldritch Essences Make Your Adventures Smell Good
We stopped in with a neat vendor here at the event who was selling Eldritch Essences which will be great for adding a scent to your games of Cthulhu and Sherlock Holmes.
You might have to check these guys out and find out more about their fantastic range of candles.

You might remember Kedrick as the one who helped bring LocaliZed to the tabletop with us during the board game challenge.

Help Put Out The Great Fire Of London!
Medusa Games joined us once again to talk about one of their games which is working its way back onto shelves in the near future, The Great Fire Of London.
This fantastic semi-cooperative game looks like it could be a lot of fun. I particularly liked the fact that they have some hidden agenda mechanics mixed in there too.
Magnificent Flying Machines Ahoy With Medusa Games
Medusa Games also stopped by with us to show off their prototype for Magnificent Flying Machines which is coming soon.
This has a fantastic element of chance and pushing your luck to it. This could be a lot of fun and explores some fantastic elements of replayability too.
Remember you could also win Nine Realms from Medusa Games!
Print & Play The Miniatures For IronClads
Come and check out this first of its kind 'print from scratch' game which you have to work on from home if you'd like to bring it to life.
It does look particularly good when it's down on the table which is cool!
Head Out On A Role-Playing Adventure With Cubicle 7
You can get stuck into some role-playing on the tabletop with the folks from Cubicle 7 who do some sterling RPG books covering Fantasy, Sci-Fi and beyond.
Happy Sunday!

@deltagamegirl22
great coverage from the show thanks to all the team its just been addedd to my future show visit plans. im not sure my bank manager will be as enthusiastic though lol
These blogs really keep me going through the weekends. Thanks BoW crew!
Great to see everyone out enjoying the day, enjoying life and the freedom to do what they enjoy and not give in to fear.
My thoughts are with the people of London after the horrible events of last night, also my thoughts are with the people of Manchester.
People going to events like this despite what has happened shows the resilience of this nation, and the refusal to let hatred and fear rule our lives. Enjoy your day if you are in Birmingham.
There was no obvious increased security at the event on Saturday. Not a bag search, nor any Police, but thankfully all okay.
That’s odd, we had our bags searched every time we went in the building on Friday and Saturday, and also saw sniffer dogs patrolling three times.
Happy sunday guys and have a great day! Thanks for the blogs!
Always love the BoW convention blogs. It’s great to see what’s happening even if I can’t be there myself.
These expos always look like so much fun!
Very nice coverage. Honestly too many interesting things to mention. Great job and safe travels.
I look forward to see Warren in full Viking uniform battling it out in a mock battle 🙂
Really no Age of Sigmar Skirmish
Thanks guys for making us feel part of it all!
looking forward to seeing what turns up today
On our way home after a fantastic weekend! A little tired and a lot skint!! Great to see some familiar wargaming stands there.
First time posting and first time at the Expo. Fantastic 3 days would recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in gaming. One disturbing sight was Warren showing a great deal in the tails of equestria rpg.
I really need to visit some of these cons in the future.
Cant wait to catch up on these later – best way to extend con experience!
Wish i could follow. Actually im in for the price grab.
Doing a great job guys.
Everything looks great so far! Thanks for all the coverage.
