March 19, 2024: Experiencing Arrakis With Spice Flavored Drinks

Frank Herbert's Dune has been a mainstay of science fiction since it was first published in 1965. There have been numerous interpretations of the original novel for both the small and big screens, including the most recent films by Canadian director Denis Villenueve. I'm a fan of both Villeneuve's version and the David Lynch film from 1984, but there's one version of the Dune saga that I have yet to fully experience. You see, the YouTube channel How To Drink has an episode that centers on a very niche aspect of Dune – namely, the flavor of the all-important spice Melange. 
 
Greg, the host of the series, creates hilarious videos focusing on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink recipes from both the past and the present. However, some of his best segments focus on beverages of a more fantastical nature. To that end, he has made several episodes in which he tries to make drinks based on . . .

March 18, 2024: UK Games Expo Expecting Record Attendance

It would seem that Gen Con is not the only tabletop convention expecting a boost in attendees. Board Game Wire reports that UK Games Expo is expanding its capacity for this year's show, which will feature over 600 exhibitors and co-exhibitors. Attendance is projected to exceed last year's unique visitor count of 32,000, and co-organizer Richard Denning says that the show may need to seek out a larger venue in the near future. 
 
So where does UK Games Expo go from here? It sounds like the show is hoping to feature events and experiences beyond game demos. There don't appear to be any specific plans in place at the moment, though Gen Con-style events like True Dungeon are mentioned as possibilities. The goal is to offer experiences that can't be recreated at home or in small venues like local game stores.
 
Of course, all of this will depend on what happens at this year's UK . . .

March 15, 2024: 2024 GAMA EXPO

The Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA) Expo took place last week, and the consensus is that it was incredibly successful. Our team traveled to Louisville, Kentucky, for a week-long con at the famous Galt House and the Kentucky International Convention Center.
 
Our team hosted Booth 420, and we had the opportunity to meet lots of retailers and other folks across the board game industry. We were busy bees at the booth, demoing new games, networking with other game manufacturers, signing up retailers for direct sales, and introducing new fans to all we have to offer. 
 
We also participated in four game nights where we taught Pathfinder Revolution!, Groo: The Game, Tabloids, and much more!
 
A great time was had by all, and many attendees were thrilled to have the chance to meet and talk with Steve Jackson himself. (Steve wrote about his experiences earlier in the week.)
