At last year’s UK Games Expo, Minor Disaster Games showed off a cooperative time travel disaster management board game called Trouble On The Tempus. Now, even as UK Games Expo 25 opens, the publisher has launched a Kickstarter for the clever game.
UK Games Expo
UK Games Expo (UKGE) is the United Kingdom's largest annual hobby games convention and trade fair, established in 2007 and traditionally held at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) and Hilton Birmingham Metropole in Birmingham. It has grown to become the world's third-largest event of its kind, showcasing a diverse range of tabletop games including board games, role-playing games, card games, miniature wargames, and family games. Organised by UK Games Expo Ltd., it serves as a major hub for the UK and international gaming community.
The event features extensive trade halls with hundreds of exhibitors, offering game demonstrations, new product releases, and playtesting opportunities for upcoming titles.
