UKGE 2026!! 

I was only up for the day this year and what a day it was!! 

Firstly I’m sorry there’s not many photos. I was living in the moment and meeting loads of wonderful people! But that was a highlight for me! The best highlight! So to those that said hello to me and to those I said hello to. Thank you, you made @ukgamesexpo the best! But besides all the games old & new it’s about the people! Meeting old and new. It was nice not being a solo gamer for a change. I’ll cherish those moments and they mean a lot to me more than you know.

Being there for the one day I can tell you now I only saw what 20% of the halls. It was a mad dash to visit the stands I wanted to visit. This isn’t a one day event! I can guarantee I missed out on a lot of awesome things. But was and is expected and I’m okay with that. Instagram will show me what missed on. 

Trust me I’ll love to tag loads of people! @ukbg_review_circle to see the some of them was amazing. Having a game of moon colony blood bath with @board_game_steve was fantastic on Thursday night after the press event. 

After my manic morning it was nice to chill with @wifevswifeuk in the early afternoon followed by @boardgamemagpie @boardomcuredgames amazing  people who all kept me company. Please follow them they are amazing! 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend to all those staying or coming! See you next year!

🎉 We have hit a wonderful milestone! A whole year embedded in this awesome community … AND we’re also at 4,000 followers right before our instaversary 🎉

We asked some of our spoonies to take a snap of games they never say no to, even when low on spoons 🥄 

❓What game(s) can you never say no to?

The variety of games is so great to see, and there’s some I have added to my list!

For us, it’s:
👦Liam - Azul by @nextmoveofficial 
It was one of my first modern games with Amy, it’s so chill and nice to play in the evenings.
💁‍♀️ Amy - Rebirth by @mightyboards 
This game is SO GOOD, even when I’m tired I’m up for playing. Minimal brain power but all the fun

🥄 What is the spoon theory?:
It’s a metaphor for managing limited daily mental energy (spoons), where executive dysfunction, sensory overload, and emotional regulation consume more “spoons” than for neurotypical individuals. It helps ADHDers visualize energy capacity, reduce guilt over fatigue, and prioritize tasks, often used to navigate burnout, chronic exhaustion, and task initiation challenges. (from ADDtitude.mag)

One persons low spoon is another high soon, and that’s totally okay! The spectrum is big and beautiful ❤️

Thank you to everyone taking part, and thank you for following our account 🥰

Come with me on the very first Board Game and wellness retreat exclusively for women in the UK. if you're stressed, burnt out, and looking for a way to escape and switch off with other like-minded souls, then this is the retreat for you. 

It was held in a stunning lake district location. Absolutely any women was welcome, we had all ages and from all parts of the country, including board game newbies just interested to try it out to hardcore gamers that have been playing for years. 

This is proper sisterhood. Everyone was so so lovely and I already cannot wait for the next one. I haven't laughed so hard in a really long time, this was proper sister hood vibes. 

It was a great opportunity to learn and play new games in a non intimidating and supporting and friendly environment. I need to give a huge thanks to @hachetteboardgamesuk who sponsored the event and provided us with as many games as we could every need. plus @geekhavenclothing for the merch. @boardgamist for the discount, Charlotte Tilbury for the makeup, and @shropshiregamingfamily and @kelseyougaming or everything they did to organise it. 

we are planning the next one and will post the details to our socials, so follow along for some updates.
