What a treat going to UK Games Expo and being able to play many games, although only a small proportion of the ones available. What did you play and enjoy?

Here's what I played:

Iquazu

A set collection and area control game with a waterfall that moves over the playing area removing any remaining tokens

Concept

A party game where cubes are placed images to help people guess the clue.

Beasts of Balance

A game that interacts with your tablet, where the items you stack appear in the world you're creating (until the stack falls down).

War of the Nine Realms

Two teams of Norse characters fighting against each other using a 12 sided dice (can you tell I wasn't taken by it).

Ore-some

Move around the mine to find places to dig for ore, and if you see another cart feel free to ram it and collect any dropped ore! Then complete contracts or sell the ore to the bank.

Drop-It

Collect points by dropping shapes into the frame and making sure it lands so it isn't touching another piece of the same colour or shape.

My children dropping shapes into the Drop-It frame. Where will it land?

IceCool

No photos of this, I only took videos of people flicking the penguins.
