Om kongressen:
Tony Hyams, Richard Denning and the whole UKGE team welcome you to the 2022 UK Games Expo. We have worked hard all year, but particularly these last few months, with our sponsors and partners to bring you the very best games, experiences, live entertainment, tournaments and opportunities for a great day or weekend out. We invite you to leave the world behind you and just relax and enjoy yourself. Have fun!
UK Games Expo occupies around 35,000 sqm of space. We are expecting over 450 exhibitors, along with a range of tournaments, role playing games and live entertainment events, a schedule of seminars and workshops, cosplayers and a Living History village. So, a lot to explore and enjoy.
If it seems a bit bewildering, we have got you covered. Before you head into the halls, grab a drink, put your feet up and take a moment to read through the Guide section of the programme in order to help you get the most out of your visit. In these pages we detail the exhibitors, events, seminars and other activities you can enjoy during your time with us. There is a detailed map of the NEC Halls and the Hilton Hotel on pages 22-29.
Follow us, if you would, around the UK Games Expo as we describe where you can find all the fun and games. NEC Hall 1 is one of our two trade halls where you will find represented every type of tabletop game. On the left of the entrance there is a help desk and the official UKGE merchandise stand. At the back of the hall is the Publisher Designer development area sponsored by Cartamundi which includes Playtest UK and university department design areas. In this area you will also find Dinky Dungeon which is sponsored by Paizo, as well as the shortlisted award games. On the right hand side of Hall 1 is a shop & drop sponsored by How Am I Weird Games, where you leave your purchases while you explore further.
Hall 2 is our other trade hall. In the centre of this hall is the Family Zone which consists of the Haba Children's zone, the Blue Orange Let's Play Zone, the Band of Brothers Charity Game and the Steamforged Games Children's Roleplaying area. Towards the rear you will find our Main Stage and the Cosplay Zone and a second How Am I Weird Shop and Drop plus the ever popular Bring and Buy.
Hall 3 is home to a large Game Toppers Open Gaming space near the entrance. In the centre of this area is our Boardgame Library. There is also a Food Court in this Hall. Further away from the entrance is the tournament zone where some of the more competitive hobby garners will be battling it out -and where you can even enter yourself just for the fun of it! In this area you will find an event desk, where you can buy tickets for the various fun activities we have going on over the weekend. The Toute Suite outside NEC Hall 1 is home to our seminars and some of the Live Entertainment shows sponsored by Honey Badger Games. The Piazza Suite across the way from the Hall 2 entrance is where the seminars and the Cartamundi Publisher & Designer track events and workshops activities take place.
The lakeside area between the NEC, Resort World and the Hilton Metropole Hotel is where you will find the Living History Village. Here you can have a close encounter with a Viking, watch them do battle or even challenge them to a game! This year we also welcome more reenactors from other periods. The Hilton Metropole Hotel houses more open gaming space as well as the roleplaying games and the majority of the Live Entertainment shows sponsored by Honey Badger Games. Pick up tickets at the event desk or buy online.
UKGE is a great place to walk around and see everything to do with tabletop gaming, whether that means board games, role playing games, family games, miniatures gaming, party games or card games. The choice is yours!
There are many tables on the exhibitor stands where you can sit down and try out games, and the entire family zone is designed to let you learn games with friends or family and you don't need to know all the rules. Alternatively, head for the open gaming area and borrow some games from the board game library and get gaming.
If you are new to UKGE and haven't played many games before, don't worry! Pick up a copy of the First Timers Guide (sponsored by Magpie Games) for top tips for your visit.
And if you're still feeling a bit lost, head to the Help Desks in Halls, 1 and 2, Event desk in Hall 3 and Help desk at the Hilton. Or just flag down one of our 'Blue Shirt' Ambassadors, who will be happy to help you out. So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and have fun.
