Episode 168 - The Best of UK Games Expo 2025
Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider In this special post-convention episode of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, we unpack all the chaos and cardboard from UK Games Expo 2025! We hit the NEC halls hard, so hard in fact that our feet are still hurting and Steve caught con-crud, but now we’re back behind the mics with our favourite board games, standout surprises, and best moments from the UK's biggest tabletop gaming event. From epic Euros and frantic family games to unexpected indie darlings and jaw-dropping miniatures and prototypes. We cover a host of new games and present the prestigious Polyhedron Collider awards. Whether you joined us at the Expo or are living vicariously through our ramblings, this episode is your all-access pass to the best of UKGE 2025. 🎧 Tune in, geek out, and let us know what your highlights were over on our Discord server!
