What happened last week?
Last week a group of intrepid adventurers set out to the UK Games Expo at the NEC. Although they finished their quest with approximately 10 copper pieces between them, the general consensus is that is was "Huge". Several games were bought and by the sounds of it may make an appearance at this week's boardgames on Wednesday. Pictures of the adventurers can be seen in the gallery.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing you at the multitude of events in the coming weeks. Best of luck in any remaining exams!
Much Love,
