A game only works if it suits the people around the table, fits the space you have and comes with everything you need to play. We put the facts that decide that at the top of the page, so you can compare like with like.
Every product page gives the size of the board, the table or the set. No working it out from a photo.
Where the maker publishes the number of players and a suggested age, they are on the page. If a detail is not published, we say so. We do not guess.
Each page lists the contents: boards, pieces, chips, darts, cards and cases. What you see listed is what arrives.
A quiet game for two, a games night with friends, a games room and a backyard party need different games. Each category page explains what matters for that occasion.
Colours look different from one screen to the next, and wood grain and finishes vary a little from set to set.
Not what you expected? Send it back within 14 days of delivery, unused, complete and in its original packaging, for a full refund. That is on top of your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
A starting point in each category. Compare the rest by size, players and contents on the shop page. Free New Zealand-wide delivery on orders over $109.
Boards, pieces and cases, photographed by the makers. Sizes and contents are on each product page.






Start with the number of players and their ages. Then think about how long you want a game to run. A two player strategy game, a party game for eight and a puzzle for one are very different buys. The player count and suggested age are on the product page where the maker publishes them.
Every product page lists the size. For a board game that is the board. For a table game or a giant outdoor game it is the assembled size, so you can check it fits the room or the lawn. If a measurement you need is missing, email us and we will check.
Each product page lists the contents: the board, pieces, chips, darts, cards or bags, and whether a case or carry bag is included. Read the list before you order, because similar looking sets can include different things.
It depends on the game. Where the maker gives a suggested age it is on the product page. Many sets have small parts that are not suitable for children under three, so check the age guidance and any warnings first.
Most board, card and puzzle sets are ready to play. Table games and some outdoor sets need assembly. Where the maker says assembly is needed, the product page says so.
It will be close. Colours look different from one screen to the next, and wood grain and finishes vary a little from set to set.
Yes. We deliver to every region, including regional and rural addresses. Delivery is free on orders of $109 or more and a flat $16 under that. Remote areas can take a few days longer.
Send it back within 14 days of delivery, unused, complete and in its original packaging, and we refund the price you paid including standard delivery. That is on top of your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 if anything arrives faulty.
Buying games online is easy to get wrong, because you cannot pick up the box and read the back. What you can do is check four things: who it is for, how big it is, what is in the box and what it is made of. This guide walks through each one, so you can read a product page and know what will arrive.
Count the players and note their ages. A game for two works badly at a party of ten, and a party game falls flat with two. Think about how long you want a game to last as well. Some games are over in ten minutes. A chess match or a mahjong session can fill an evening.
Size matters more than most people expect. A travel chess set and a tournament board are different things. A table football game or a dartboard cabinet needs wall or floor space. A giant tumbling tower needs room to fall. Check the measurements on the product page against the table, the room or the lawn before you order.
Two sets that look alike in photos can include different things. One poker set has 300 chips and another has 500. One dartboard comes with darts and another does not. One lawn game comes with a carry bag. Read the contents list on the product page, and count the pieces when the game arrives.
Wood. The classic choice for chess, backgammon, dominoes and tumbling towers. Grain and colour vary from set to set.
Plastic and melamine. Light, tough and easy to wipe clean. Common for mahjong tiles, chips and travel sets.
Metal and composite. Weighted chips, dart barrels and some chess pieces. Heavier pieces feel steadier in the hand.
Card and paper. Playing cards, jigsaw puzzles and game boards. Keep them dry and store them flat.
Board games. Chess, backgammon, draughts, mahjong and dominoes. Good for two to four players who like to think.
Card and poker games. Chip sets, playing cards and shufflers for a games night with friends.
Darts and table games. For a games room, shed or garage. Check the wall space and follow the maker's safety guidance.
Outdoor and party games. Giant tumbling towers, ring toss and lawn games for barbecues, weddings and family days.
Puzzles and brain teasers. Jigsaws and wooden puzzles for one person or a slow afternoon together. Check the piece count and the finished size.
Where the maker gives a suggested age, it is on the product page. Many games have small parts that are a choking hazard for children under three. Steel tip darts are for adults and supervised older children only. Follow the warnings and instructions that come with the game you buy.
Keep the box or case and put every piece back after play. Store wooden sets and puzzles somewhere dry, out of direct sun. Bring outdoor games inside when you are done, unless the maker says they can stay out. This is general guidance only. Follow the care notes for the game you buy.
Count the players and note their ages. Read the size and check it against your space. Read the contents list. Check the materials and any age guidance. Then compare prices, in New Zealand dollars, with delivery included at $109 and over.
Buy for the people who will play, read the details before the photos, and make sure the game fits your space. Every product page here lists the size and contents so you can decide before you order, and you have 14 days from delivery to change your mind.
