V Veliki Britaniji se je konec preteklega vikenda odvijal UK Games Expo. Na njem so razglasili najboljše namizne družabne igre, izdane v VB v zadnjem letu. Zmagovalce v vsaki kategoriji so določili tako z javnim glasovanjem kot tudi z glasovanjem strokovne žirije. Postopek je potekal tako, da je naprej vse igre pregledala komisija in glede na dosežene ocene ustvarila seznam iger. Iz tega seznama iger so nato lahko glasovali igralci. V 15 kategorijah sta zato pogosto po dva zmagovalca. Eden je zmagal glede na žirijo (Judges’ Award winner), drugi glede na glasove ljudstva (People Choice Award winner).
