Just Over Two Weeks Until UKGE at Stand 3-1106

Just Over Two Weeks Until UKGE at Stand 3-1106

This Friday we’re officially just two weeks away from exhibiting at UK Games Expo, and the team at Ralbru Games couldn’t be more excited.

This year, we’re bringing back some returning favourites, introducing a brand-new game to the collection, running competitions and giveaways throughout the event, and opening up playtesting for upcoming titles still in development.

Whether you’ve supported us before or you’re discovering our games for the first time, we’d love for you to stop by Stand 3-1106 and get involved.

From giant games and demo tables to exclusive early playtests, there’ll be plenty happening across the weekend.

Top Tips for Surviving (and Enjoying) UKGE

Pack Smart

A few essentials can make a huge difference over a full convention day:

  • Reusable water bottle 
  • Comfortable shoes 
  • Portable charger 
  • Snacks for queues and long demo sessions 
  • Backpack or tote bag for purchases 
  • Deodorant (everyone appreciates it by day two) 
  • A little extra bag space for unexpected finds 

You’ll thank yourself later.

Plan Your Route Early

UKGE is huge, and it’s easy to lose half a day wandering between halls.

Before arriving:

  • Pick out your must-visit stands 
  • Check event schedules and tournaments 
  • Leave time for discovering indie publishers 
  • Make room for demos and unexpected games 

And while you’re planning your route… don’t forget to add Stand 3-1106 to the list.

Try Something Different

Some of the best convention finds are games you never expected to enjoy.

Whether it’s a travel game, party game, abstract strategy game, or something completely unusual, UKGE is the perfect place to sit down and try something new.

Make Time for Demo Areas

Demo tables are where conventions really come alive.

You get to meet designers and publishers, ask questions, play games properly, and discover things you simply can’t get from looking at a box online.

We’ll have plenty of demo space available throughout the weekend, so come sit down and challenge someone to a game.

What We’re Bringing to UKGE

This year we’re bringing back three returning titles alongside our newest release.

Returning Games

ButtChess

Our chaotic strategy favourite returns once again, competitive, ridiculous, and always a conversation starter.

Bigly

Fast-paced, accessible, and easy to get straight to the table.

ButtChess + 1

A fresh twist on the ButtChess formula with even more unpredictability and tactical moments.

Introducing Exit Strategy

UKGE will also be one of the first chances to try our newest game.

Exit Strategy is a compact 2-player strategy game inspired by Backgammon, redesigned with a modern, travel-friendly approach.

Built for portability and competitive play, it’s perfect for:

  • Travel 
  • Holidays 
  • Coffee shop battles 
  • Pub tables 
  • Quick rematches anywhere 

Easy to carry. Difficult to master.

We’ll be running demos across the entire weekend, so come and give it a try.

Upcoming Games & Playtesting

We’ll also be opening up playtesting sessions for upcoming projects currently in development.

Visitors will get an early look at:

  • Hexalink: making its first public appearance 
  • Triangulate: returning to the playtesting pool for more competitive testing and feedback 

If you enjoy seeing games early, helping shape development, or simply trying something before release, make sure to stop by and get involved.

Competitions, Giveaways & Giant Games

We wanted our stand to feel interactive all weekend long, so we’ve packed in a few extras too.

Play a Game & Spin the Prize Wheel

Come and play one of our games for a chance to spin the prize wheel.

Prizes could include:

  • Sweets 
  • Pin badges 
  • Discounts on games 
  • Mystery rewards 
  • And more 

Every spin is different.

Guess the Counters Competition

Think you’ve got a good eye?

We’ll also be running a guess the number of counters in the jar competition throughout the event, with prizes available for the closest guesses.

Full details will be available on the stand.

Giant Games & Demo Space

Alongside the competitions, we’ll also have:

  • Giant versions of games 
  • Interactive displays 
  • Plenty of demo space 
  • Opportunities to meet the team behind the games 

Whether you stop by for five minutes or stay for multiple rematches, we’d love to see you there.
