The out-of-office is officially on and I’m frantically packing, because tomorrow I’m heading to my first AireCon! And here are some of the Indie games & exhibitors I’m looking forward to checking out!

Fulcrum – Blue Fox Tabletop (stall G15)

A solo / 1v1 game knocking comets out of the sky with trebuchets!

Before the rain – Molinarius games (stall A31)

Push-your-luck pollen collecting from as many flower cards as possible before the bad weather hits

Butt Radio – Travel-games.co.uk (Yokocho Gamer’s Alley – Saturday only)

4-player trick-taking silliness inspired by the UKGE butt radio-debacle of 2025.

One for Sorrow – Kev Makes Games (Yokocho Gamer’s Alley – Friday & Saturday)

A puzzly solo card game arranging magpies in the palm of your hand – check out our review for more info!

Fetching feathers – Unfringed things (Demo zone)

Pick-and-pass birds and arrange them at the right locations to score points. We’ve already backed this but you should definitely check it out (and you can read more in our Fetching Feathers review!)

Gelatinous Cute (Stall K23)

Handmade geeky jewellery, merch and accessories!

HAillustrates (stall B21)

Stickers, pins, artwork and the most adorable hand–sculpted critters!

The Enchanted Needle (stall K26)

Nerdy cross-stitch! I missed out at UKGE last year so I’ll definitely be grabbing a kit this weekend (it’ll be hard to pick just one!).

And there are so many more cool cats who I’ve not included – be sure to check out the map on the AireCon website

And don’t forget about the other activities, tournaments and events going on. I’ll be checking out the Bring & Buy, and I’ve booked Giant Cozy Games hosted by Rozie (@CozyBoardGames) and Kim-Joy (@KimJoy). (and Rozie is also organising a cute Cozy Trinket Trade Box on booth E19!)
