Quick delivery! My package had been packed with care, each item wrapped in tissue paper and a personalised note from the owner 😊 I’ll definitely be buying more games in the future!

Written by the company
Boardgamist Ltd. is a small independent retailer focused on helping people run better game nights and choose games that genuinely fit their group. The company is run by one person (Dan Boardgamist) who handles everything from sourcing stock to packing orders to creating content that helps customers understand what they are buying and why it might be right for them. Nothing here is automated or faceless. It is a hands-on business built with care, not volume. The store is deliberately curated rather than overloaded with every title on the market. The aim is to offer games that are well designed, well tested in real groups, and more likely to be played regularly rather than purchased on impulse and forgotten. Customers often come to Boardgamist because they want straightforward guidance rather than marketing noise. The product descriptions, emails and blog posts are written to set expectations honestly and avoid overselling anything. Boardgamist is in a growth stage and the business is open about that. The day to day work involves a mix of retail operations, customer service, stock management, content creation and the steady improvements that keep a small online shop moving in the right direction. Customers who follow the journey see what is happening behind the scenes because transparency helps build trust and shows that every order makes a real difference. The long term direction for Boardgamist is to expand from retail into a more complete resource for players and hosts. That includes guides, practical advice, clearer recommendations and more ways to help people choose games that work for their group size, experience level and time available. The goal is simple. Make buying and playing board games easier for everyone while keeping the focus on quality, reliability and genuine customer support.

Excellent!
Excellent!! Ordered a game for a friend (which was difficult to find in stock elsewhere) at a really good price. Opted for birthday gift wrap, which was gorgeous and came with a handwritten gift tag too. My friend and I were very pleased, and I will return for more games I'm sure!

Game arrived quickly and well packaged
Game arrived quickly and well packaged. Was happy to find it at a very competitive price at Out of Town Games - website is easy to use, pages load quickly (much faster than some of the better-known board game retailers) and the curated lists of games they publish are useful.
