Seize the Power! In playtest with @mattcowardgibbs.bsky.social at 2-113 (at the back of the Playtest zone). #GamesinEdu #UKGamesExpo

“Seize the Power” play-through tomorrow at #UKGamesExpo stand 2-113 10AM for an hour. Come along sharpish if you’d like to play rather than watch.

Liz King dropped by our stand 2-113 to pitch her boardgame about lab work. Brilliant stuff. So I invited Liz to show it off at the #GamesinEdu networking & demo at 12.30 Sunday in the Pizza Suites at #UKGamesExpo

Playtesting some puzzles from our Immunology game with @immunojo.bsky.social. Three very happy players - that was fun! So clever! Would definitely recommend. Drop by stand 2-113 if you’d like to play and/or playtest some mini escape games. #UKGamesExpo #GamesInEdu
