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.

Good purchase experience
First purchase from OOTGames. Not issues whatsoever, arrived quickly, well packaged, good price. I am more a wargamer, which they don't stock unfortunately, but for other strategy games I will definitely consider OOTGames again.

Delighted with my order!
Thank you so much for this! Really happy with the service, I couldn't find this collection of games in stock with any other retailer. Only issue is that I live in Ireland and so I had to use an additional service to ship internationally.

Competitive prices, great customer service!
Always competitive prices and excellent customer service! Recommend paying a little more for tracked postage as I had a couple of issues with royal mail. Customer service team here were excellent, sent me update they had and offered to contact royal mail if I was still having issues. 10/10 will buy from them again 🙂
