Competitively priced products, dispatched quickly and delivered on time with a little personal touch. Well packaged - would certainly buy from these guys again.
The website is well designed. Super speedy delivery, beautifully packaged and a hand written note included. This is the perfect example of what shopping with a small business should be!
Excellent service, fast delivery with a little personal note alongside the games. Really happy with them.

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.

Well packaged and hassle free experience
Hassle free purchase of board game that was out of stock everywhere else. Well packaged and sent really quickly. Website was easy to navigate and communication sent at each step. Lovely handwritten note inside box as well giving a slight insight into the game which was a nice personal touch. Would 100% look at this store going forward for future purchases.

Awesome service.
Superb service. Quick response via email to a query, rapid delivery once ordered that even included a preoanal postcard message. And the best bit is that I now have the SETI expansion that was unavailable anywhere else. Very happy
