What a Week! Team Building, AireCon, and a Huge Wave of New Releases
We are still catching our breath! Last week was an absolute whirlwind for the Hachette Boardgames UK team. Before heading to the convention, we took a few days out for a fantastic team-building retreat to recharge and connect. Then, it was straight into the bustling halls of AireCon for an incredible weekend of rolling dice, playing cards, and sharing our newest titles with all of you.
It was amazing to see so many of you at our stand. We brought a mountain of new releases with us, and the energy around the tables was electric.

Game of the Week Spotlight: Bella Vista
While we had loads of new releases, we have to give a special shoutout to Bella Vista.
Designed by the legendary Bruno Cathala and Andrea Mainini, and featuring stunning artwork by Weirdloop and Cyrille Bertin, this title was an absolute showstopper at AireCon. If you didn't get a chance to play it at the show, do not worry: Bella Vista is officially rolling out to all your favourite local game stores across the UK and Ireland this week!
We have so many fresh titles hitting the shelves right now, but we want to know: out of all the hits from our AireCon stand, which game are you going to play first? Let us know on our social channels!
