Uk Games Expo.



This past week has been dominated by the UK Games Expo, for the first time I went and helped and not knowing what was in store made it difficult to prepare.

I volunteered for a few reasons, partly as an effort to include myself more, also because I have so enjoyed the event I was hoping to give something back.

The third reason and one I have given before is to subsidise the event for me.

For me the Event was a mix of Cider, playing games, carrying tables, answering questions and re arranging games and a tiny bit of sleeping and eating when I could fit them in!

I arrived with a reasonable budget and with the hope of getting a couple of big box type games, I didn't get anything longer than 30 mins as I was to busy working to actually get the games I wanted before they sold out!

I did however meet some ace people, play some great games that I would not otherwise have tried (Firefly I am looking at you!) and basically loved it all.

That is not to say the event is perfect, however they get so much right so much of the time I am shocked.

Just realised this was left as a draft rather than posted, but will post now.............
