Also got to add a few more to this list at the UK Games Expo, where we very successfully demoed 1066, Tears to Many Mothers.ĭungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game Great fun, great bunch of lads, and also got to play a few new games I wouldn’t otherwise have had the chance to, see Bonus Plays below.
