Results from the 2017 BHGS Challenge.
For the first time ever the BHGS Challenge moved north to the NEC in Birmingham to run alongside the gaming phenomenon that is UK Games Expo in June 2017.
This put our 100+ gamers in a hall which must have had over 1,000 people playing miniatures and card games at some points over the weekend, with excellent lighting and ventilation, right next to proper loos, a bar, hot-food restaurant and its own branch of Subway!!
Overall more than 100 players took part this year, representing a year-on-year increase in player numbers across those periods and systems we are running this year - so we were certainly putting on a good showcase for the tabletop gaming side of the hobby for the UKGE audience too.
Full results for the periods where we have been sent them are below, along with some pictures from the event:
