Welcome to Episode 142 of the Devon Dice Podcast!
Joel, Nick, and Lewis are back from UK Games Expo 2025 and are here to share their Top 5 highlights from the event — plus Sam’s thoughts via his notes! Listen in as they dive into their favourite moments, discuss the games they played, and even give a few honest hotel reviews.
This episode also features bonus interviews with three creators from the UK board game scene (and slightly beyond):
-
Mark Prentice from Next Dimension Games
-
Chris Priscott of Unfringed
-
Jubson Cowan, game artist extraordinaire (okay, not strictly British — but we’ll claim him anyway!)
We still found time to squeeze in a bit of industry news and a roundup of some exciting crowdfunding campaigns currently live.
