The countdown to UK Games Expo 2026 is officially on, and the boys from the Polyhedron Collider Cast are heading back to the Birmingham NEC for one of the biggest tabletop gaming conventions in the world! In this special preview episode, we dive into the most anticipated board games, card games, miniatures, and hobby highlights coming to this year's Expo.
From blockbuster new releases and hidden indie gems to sprawling strategy games and exciting roleplaying adventures, we break down the titles we're most excited to demo, buy, and rip the shrink off before we even get to the car park. If you're planning your own UKGE wishlist, this episode is packed with recommendations, hype, and convention tips.
Come see Polyhedron Collider LIVE at UK Games Expo 2026!
We'll be recording a live podcast episode at the NEC, so come along, say hello, and join in the tabletop chaos. Expect the usual ramshackle nonsense on Friday – Piazza 4, Dice Room – 10am. Polyhedron Collider Live
