Company details
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.

Very helpful staff.
I messed up my shipping address after relying on a form auto completer that was setup wrong and Dan from the team reached out to check the address with me and then resent the package with 1 day delivery once I gave him the full address.

My go to for board games - Highly recommended!!
Out of Town games are always my first point of call when I am looking to buy a board game, can't be beaten for overall service!
Their prices are highly competitive, delivery is always super quick, every single order is packed with care and well secured to ensure no damage comes to the game boxes.
The website is easy to use, and I can always find what I'm looking for along with inevitably some extras! XD
Every order comes with a thank you note which is always lovely to see and shows that they really care about their customers.
Amazing service every time, will continue to use again and again!
