Here's a list of the conventions Reiver Games will be attending in the near future. Please drop by and say hello if you come too.

Booked Events

We're booked to attend Spiel '08 in Essen, Germany on 23rd-26th October. This is the Mecca of gaming and it'll be my first year attending so it should be a great few days. I've booked a booth, and I'll have some games for sale there, hopefully Carpe Astra and the next one.

Forthcoming Events

We are hoping to make it to Beer and Pretzels (in Burton-on-Trent, UK - May), UK Games Expo (in Birmingham, UK - May/June), Origins (in Columbus, OH, USA - June), The Cast Are Dice (Stoke-on-Trent, UK - August) and International Spieltage (in Essen, Germany - October) next year, if you're going too pop by and say hi.

Past Events

Beer and Pretzels 2008

We attended the 19th Beer and Pretzels in Burton Town Hall on May 17/18th. It was a great weekend, I set up the booth selling my last few copies on Saturday and after a strong day of sales I stopped selling and started playing games. Despite this I still managed to sell my last few copies of It's Alive! as well as getting to play a great selection of games with some great people. A brilliant weekend.

MidCon 2007

We attended MidCon 2007 in Birmingham on the Saturday 17th November. Sales and interest were slightly disappointing, but there were a sizeable number of people there who already owned It's Alive!, and we were having to compete with all this year's Essen releases.

The Cast Are Dice 2007

It's Alive! was a great success at The Cast Are Dice in Stoke-on-Trent on 18th/19th August. It was the first convention that I'd attended more than once (having launched Border Reivers there last year) and was a great weekend, with It's Alive! beating my expectations yet again.

Uk Games Expo 2007

The limited edition of Border Reivers sold out at the first Uk Games Expo in Birmingham on 2nd/3rd June. It was the first convention where I'd attended as a proper trader with a booth in the exhibition. It's Alive! was just ready in time and the nineteen copies I'd managed to scrape together sold out in the first three and a half hours!

Beer & Pretzels 2007

Border Reivers was yet again well received at Beer and Pretzels, and this time I got to play it with a few people who either owned their own copy or had played a friend's. I also got to demo the prototype of It's Alive! which led to a few orders of that too.

Psychocon 2006

Border Reivers was well received at Psychocon 2006. Once again, sales were higher than expected and the feedback we received was very good. Although a small convention, it was definitely worth attending - hope to see you there next year!

The Cast Are Dice 2006

Border Reivers was launched at The Cast Are Dice 2006 in Stoke-on-Trent. It was very well received, and sold more copies than we were expecting which was a very pleasant surprise. The event was great fun and very well run by Nick and Sue of Shire Games. We're looking forward to next year's event...
