Boardgames News for 2008

Boardgames - Public Participation & Demonstration - Free Events

UK Games Expo is the largest exhibition of board games open to the public in the UK. Demonstrations and trade stands from 30 publishers, games designers or demo teams will offer lots of opportunity to see, try out and and perhaps buy dozens of board games. The board games part of our convention alone will occupy over 40 demo tables.

Many of these companies are releasing games at UK Games Expo or just before hand so for most of us this will be the first chance to play these games.

Take a closer look at some of the Board Game companies attending and what they have planned.

Free Play area: Over 100 of you game back the the adjacent Strathallan Hotel last year to play your new games on the Saturday evening. This year we have expanded rooms there and have added a free play area on the Friday night also.

Additionally we plan to have some free play tables in the day time Saturday and Sunday within the Clarendon itself.
