142 Devon Dice Podcast Top 5 UK Games EXPO 2025 Highlights and more...

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.
So, sit back, enjoy the Expo wrap-up, and get your wishlist ready!
