[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 8673282, member: 1"] [B]UK Games Expo[/B] this June reported a total of [B]23,163[/B] unique attendees over the weekend. [B]Origins Game Fair[/B] reported [B]11,689[/B] attendees. While these two events are usually neck-and-neck in terms of attendees, the pandemic (and the different rules at each event) has had an impact. Traditionally, the two events leap-frog each other for the positions of #3 on the list of the worlds's largest tabletop gaming conventions (after Gen Con and Essen Spiel). UKGE had no COVID rules or restrictions in place this year. Origins, after [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/covid-rules-gencon-yes-origins-ukge-no.688511/']initially removing restrictions[/URL], [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/covid-rules-gencon-yes-origins-ukge-no.688511/post-8637451']reinstated a mask requirement[/URL]. Gen Con is requiring masks and proof of vaccination later this year.

In 2019 (before the pandemic) UKGE reported 25,704 attendees, while Origins reported 20,642. By contrast, Gen Con in 2018 had over 60,000 unique attendees.
