Why not buy a board game from our sponsors Kienda: kienda.co.uk/polyhedroncollider
Its time to get excited for the biggest event on the UK tabletop gaming calendar – UK Games Expo 2025! With the halls of the NEC soon to be packed with cardboard wonders, we’re here to share all the games, events, and surprises we’re hyped to see. From hot new releases and spicy prototypes to long-awaited expansions and hidden gems, we go through our must-see board games, card games, roleplaying games and miniatures as well the publishers to watch, and the things we absolutely won’t be missing.
We also tease our upcoming live podcast recording at the Expo (yes, it's happening!), and how you can join us for the ramshackle chaos.Come join us on Friday 3 May, heckle us (gently), and join the fun. https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/events/2153-polyhedron-collider/
Expect plenty of speculation, wish list dreams, and possibly a bit of arguing over who gets to demo what first.
Laminate your maps, have your coffee holsters ready and let the pre-Expo hype begin!

Warning: This podcast contains strong language and adult content
In Episode 166 of the Polyhedron Collider Cast, the gang dives into a mix of worker placement, architecture, victorian horror, and some good old rock and roll.
Our fist building block Flat Iron, a 2-player worker placement board game that brings sharp decisions and sizzling tension. Does it have a solid foundation or fall over a dodgy new build. Then we get loud and nostalgic with Rock Hard 1977, a bombastic blend of music, roadies, and 'candy'. It’s all about the rock ‘n roll lifestyle—on a tabletop. Finally, we descend into the dark, arcane world of Candela Obscura, the atmospheric horror RPG from the minds behind Critical Role. We share our thoughts on the setting, the system, and the style—spoiler: we’re intrigued.
So tune in for tabletop tales, chaotic banter, and plenty of opinions, as we navigate another stack of games both weird and wonderful.
