This is the second part of my diary of Tabletop Scotland 2018. You can find the first part here and it’d be a good idea to read that first because we’re going to leap right back into it! The Seminar… By this point it was around 2:40pm and we had…

Pauline’s Tabletop Scotland 2018 Diary (part one)
I was looking forward to Tabletop Scotland as it had the potential to fill a gap that existed in our part of the country. We need things to take out minds off the grim state of the world in which we live – all those wildling attacks for example and…
Mrs Meeple’s UKGE 2018 Diary
After last year’s UKGE, I wasn’t convinced that I wanted to attend UKGE 2018. It’s a pretty exhausting experience, and I didn’t find our visit last year to be particularly productive. I also have a real job where I can’t just swan down to Birmingham and call it ‘work’. I…

Mrs Meeple’s UKGE Diary! Part Two
Mr Meeple said I came across as ‘enthusiastic and a little bewildered’ in my previous post. Really then it’s obvious I wrote the post with an authentic voice that demonstrates how I sometimes come across in real life.
I awoke around 5:30am on Saturday. That was thanks to the…
Mrs Meeple’s UKGE 2017 Diary! Part One!
I’ve been playing board games pretty regularly since Mr Meeple decided board gaming was his new obsession. I’m generally his co-tester and guinea pig for all the games he buys ‘for review purposes’. We talk about the games, how they play, and the accessibility observations we make. …
