Due to last year's success, iGGi decided to run its own stand at the UK Games Expo (UKGE) again this year, and we have no regrets!

Since a steady amount of iGGi PGRs has involvement with board games (e.g., by creating automated playtesting agents and frameworks, by using the tabletop format for games with an educational or societal purpose, by investigating aspects of game design which are applicable across digital and analogue game mechanics), it has become very relevant for iGGi to engage with the UK's tabletop community and industry.

iGGi's presence at the UKGE was a step towards completing this mission, and a range of new connections were created.

As last year, iGGi shared its stand with the Tabletop R&D - a spinoff company started by iGGi Co-Investigators Raluca Gaina and Diego Pérez-Liébana

Worth mentioning is that the University of York featured with another stand on the expo: the PLaY Group York, who had an equally successful time.
