Mere days after launching the Game Market Spring 2025 Preview, BGG is moving ahead with the UK Games Expo 2025 Preview, for which I must give thanks to Sophia and Guy, two BGGers who prodded me to make this happen and (more importantly) volunteered to help add titles to this preview.

In the past, I've begged off a UKGE Preview because I was bust with the Origins Preview, then the mountainous Gen Con Preview, but with extra pairs of hands, the work is made lighter. Also, I can imagine the Origins and Gen Con Previews being a lot slimmer this year. We'll see...

As with the Game Market Spring 2025 Preview, I've allowed games from a wider date range on the UKGE 2025 Preview since I haven't created a preview for this show previously, which means I'm casting my net wider. I'd rather list a creator with a single release from mid-2024 than not list them at all.

By the way, UK Games Expo 2025 runs from May 30 to June 1, just one week after BGG.Spring and two-and-a-half weeks ahead of Origins Game Fair. Best wishes of good sleep and safe travel to all publishers hitting two or three of those shows!
