Welcome to Fun with Boxes, Episode 90: UK Games Expo 2024 Board Game Haul: Part 1
Today I take a close look at what we bought at the UK Games Expo this year, held in the NEC in Birmingham.
The Games expo ran from Friday the 31st May, 2024 to Sunday the 2nd of June, with a press event and awards ceremony on the Thursday prior to the show.
I was lucky enough to attend the awards ceremony and the press event and met a lot of wonderful people from the world of Board Games, publishers, designers, artists - you name it - they were there. What a wonderful day that was.
And the convention itself did not disappoint - three glorious days where again we spent some time talking to all the people at their stands during the show - getting demos or just chatting in general.
More on that in an upcoming video - but for now I take a look at all the games we bought during the 3 days - plus some surprise games that were given to me by some rather lovely people!!
I hope you enjoy!

[@AdamR1977]

@@thefunwithboxes I do some years, it depends. As I said at the show, it's a long old way up from Cornwall, so I'll have to see. I've got a hotel booked for Essen, but we'll have to see if time and money allow 😅

[@thefunwithboxes]

Ah yes!! I remember you saying. Yep. A long long way!!! Essen is such an expensive trip. The hotels are crazy money 😮😢

[@BoxedMeeples]

Honey moons are always best together

[@thefunwithboxes]

Indeed they are!!! LOL 😂
