Board Game Retailers

This page is intended as a guide for people looking for a retailer of "German-style" board games in their area. Inclusion of a retailer is not a recommendation, as I have visited very few of the shops listed. Please email me if any information is innaccurate or out of date or if you would like to see your local shop listed.

I try to list shops which stock a good range of german-style games. For shops stocking specific games (generally traditional games like Chess and Go) I suggest you visit the game's association website.

NOTE: Many of the shops will mail-order (including ordering from their web-site). Some of these retailers do not have a shop, but only do Mail-order/Web-Site Access - These shops are listed with a different backgound.

I have visited few of these shops, but the following shops I have used and found helpful and well-stocked. The Games Shop in Aldershot is the only shop from which I have mail-ordered.
