I saw En Games and they are selling Nokosu Dice and Ghost Lift for 20 quid each. I bought 3 copies of Nokosu

If anyone in the UK would like me to buy one and post it on at cost, give me a shout in the next 12 hours or so.

I’ll take one if it includes the English bits @RogerBW !

Yup Nokosu is dual language.

And got it. (If you wanted Gibberers instead, speak now.)

Ah sorry I totally meant Gibberers! But if you’ve already picked up Nokosu I’ll cover that as well :slightly_smiling_face:

All gone alas. I won’t hold you to Nokosu, I can sell it elsewhere if you prefer.

Yeah if it’s easy enough for you to sell it I’m not super keen, but let me know if it’s difficult to move and I’m happy to take it.

Step 1. Publish game about colonial India.
Step 2. A punkah wallah is now legitimate booth decoration.

Came back from One day of UKGE. I am spent! It was nice to see @Captbnut and say hello. I also saw @RogerBW but you were busy chatting about a game with a pair of people. I find actually being in the convention kind of overwhelming and I’m in a dazed fuzz for all the time I’m there.

Started with entering the ticket to ride tournament (came second in game 1) but I flopped out as it was going to take all day. If I do a tournament again I’ll have to come across two days.

It got a decent bunch of things.

I got divide and Conker - a drafting game with Conkers.
Get stacked - a stacking word game. This one I’ve played now and I think it does some interesting things for something that at a glance feels obvious.

I like to try and pick up something that I would not have considered before the show and aren’t “famous” games.

Bought three tiny Itten games
Ping pong frog (it’s like beer pong, with pegs)
Pack Back Robot - kind of like this random roomba game
Nice Egg - I don’t know.
I bought these as you get a free fourth game if you buy three (usually a mistake)
Free game: gengin dice. This looks a bit terrible to be honest - you and an opponent make a plasticine dice and then guess what number on the dice will show up the most.

Frosted Bloom - looked good on the recent BGG gamenight.

I was a bit disappointed that the remake of Elysium, First Giants was sold out at asmodee, but they gave me a tiny free game of dnup.

Last from the main floor I got some Dice Throne Pogs game. (Yes pogs)

Last actual game I got was Elysium from the bring and buy!

It could have been me and boy that were chatting to @RogerBW - he was a great demonstrator!

It felt a lot more like that this year, to me and others.
