Get Deducing & Scheming With Blood On The Clocktower
Ryan gets a chance to talk about Blood On The Clocktower, a fantastic game for between five and twenty (yes, twenty) players which is focused around the idea of deduction, reasoning, bargaining and a little bit of murder too.
Unlike other games of its type this game has a lot of in-depth rules and twists in interesting ways, even when your dead. You can find out about the game and how it plays with Ryan in the video below.
Floodgate Games Talk Sagrada Expansion & Bosk
Floodgate Games got a chance to delve into a discussion with Ryan about their newest expansion for Sagrada as well as Bosk which is a game of majestic trees. If Sagrada is anything to go by, Bosk is also going to be a lot of fun.
Crafting windows from dice might not sound like an interesting concept at first but it’s a brilliant puzzle to try and solve and it always looks beautiful at the end too.
Paco Ŝako Embrace The World Of Peace Chess
Chess is known as a game which was designed to show the clash between kingdoms on the battlefield, a ruthless game for tactical minds. Well, Paco Ŝako turns things on its head with what they call Peaceful Chess.
Created to be an expression of peace, friendship and collaboration, Paco Ŝako is a chess game with a mindful touch and a mind-blowing gameplay. Discover new strategies, openings and interesting patterns.
Czech Games Edition Delve Into What's New - Comment To Win!
We’re chatting with Czech Games Edition and discussing some of the newer games that they have in the mix for the show this year.
Comment To Win – Pictomania
Pictomania by a game by a board game luminary, Vlada Chvatil. It’s a fantastic game which blends together some deducing and even a bit of writing and drawing too.
Smirk & Dagger Face The Menace Among Us
Ryan got a chance to chat to Smirk & Dagger Games about one of their newest games, Menace Among Us.
It’s always good to have a game that really embraces the traitor mechanic and this one seems to hit it on the head. We also have a look at the awesome Shobu and We Need To Talk which is all about interventions.
Bart & Vicky Of Black Box talk To Ryan
Ryan asks Bart and Vicky about their games Itchy Monkey and Neverland.
Itchy Monkey is a pure strategy game with no luck involved and Neverland is a competitive game set in the World of Peter Pan. You can find them on Stand 01.693
Square Enix Games Talk About Tomb Raider And Chocobo Party-Up - Comment To Win
Ryan saw them set up their stand on Thursday and could not wait to talk to Tim of Square Enix Games.
Comment To Win Tomb Raider
They are talking about their games including Tomb Raider The Board Game and Chocobo Partyup
Looks like the event is going super well.
Got to grab a quick chance to browse the blog
Looking forward to enjoying the Weekend live Blogging of UK Games Expo awesomeness! Thanks so much OTT / BoW team.
Great stuff.
That interview stage looks very professional.
Let’s see who they get to interview.
the comment link on the RPG stand (goodman games etc) with the lady front and centre is broken
Hope you guys had a great day…. I’m travelling across on the morrow morn from the darkest depths of Pembrokeshire ?
I would love to go to the UKGE someday.
great coverage guyssss!! see you tomorrow
Looking forward to the content
Fantastic, once again I remain massively disapointed that I can never attend anything even close to this cool here in Australia
Id like to see a look at some of the indie game sections, so the one/two man bands showing their games and get them some wider coverage on this platform.
Be great to have you guys do a bit of boosting the companies that don’t get any press really – help us to uncover some gems please, preferably before sunday so i can go buy any lol.
Just catching up on the content from yesterday I missed when at work.
I remember when tabletop games were a niche for ‘social misfits’. Today, there is this massive event over 3 days, with global franchises like Alien having licensed games being announced.
It never ceases to amaze me how this hobby has grown. I started out buying white dwarf, the one that covered dungeons and dragons andfeatured hand drawn black and white covers, and now we get all this.
Thanks to everyone involved for the hard work that brought all this coverage.
…everything Mythic Games
awesome first day lots of great things
And I’m spent!
I’d like to have been able to come and hunt for those obscure gaming aids and terrain that makes your games stand out.
Great content guys! Keep it up. I’m curious about all the stuff I missed.
Another day with some awesome content. Thanks guys! >-<
Three really excited kids,having walked around the biggest “sweetshop ” they have been to. Lol
