Sean and Ronan give their first impressions of eighteen games they sampled over a long weekend in Birmingham at UK Games Expo 2017 as well as touching on other experiences they sampled. This episode is less about full reviews and more to give an idea of the sort of games you can expect to see on a table near you soon. There is a definite emphasis on lighter and family games, the heavy stuff is coming soon.
