Expansion Pack: UK Games Expo 2023

Whose Turn Is It Anyway?

We're back from our exploits at the UK Games Expo 2023 with another expansion pack episode covering ALL the games (well most of them). Don't let the croaky voices and tiredness fool you, we had the best time ever with most of the podcast team covering the event.
OUR PLAYERS - Becky, JP, Adrian, Kerley & Tambo
OVERVIEW
In this episode you'll learn:
- Becky (Dolly Parton) & JP (Kenny Rogers) did their own version of carpool karaoke which Kerley was thankful to not be in the same car as them
- We covered the Thursday preview event for the first time so check out our thoughts and experiences on that
- From battle royale shooters in Apex Legends, to drawing Disney characters in Lorcana, writing your own pages in Books of Time or sporing new mushrooms in Mycelia we've played a whole bunch of games during our 3 days at Expo
- Our experiences of 2023 and what we liked and didn't like before finally getting some rest from a cracking weekend
