All online orders are processed from our dedicated warehouse. We take great care to ensure your ordered items are securely packed before shipment. Whenever possible, we reuse cardboard boxes from our suppliers, though we also utilise new boxes and wrapping materials when necessary.

For orders placed before 1:30 PM, Monday through Friday, we aim to dispatch them on the same day. If this isn’t feasible, they will be sent out on the next working day. Orders placed outside of our office hours (Monday to Friday) will be dispatched the following working day.

We offer free delivery on orders totaling £65 or more. For orders under £65, delivery charges are as follows:

• £4.50 for Royal Mail Tracked 48 (delivery within 2-3 business days)

• £6.00 for Royal Mail Tracked 24 (delivery within 1-2 business days)


Please note that shipping times are estimates and not guaranteed. Occasionally, unforeseen circumstances beyond our control may cause postal delays. In such cases, we cannot accept responsibility and will not issue refunds for shipping fees.

At this time, we do not offer shipping outside the UK.

At checkout, you will have the option to collect your order from our cafés in either Oxford or Bath, allowing you to avoid the shipping charge. We will notify you by email once your order is ready for collection. Please allow up to 3 days for orders to be available at the Oxford location and up to 7 days for the Bath location.

Important Notes: 

1.   Meeple Stars can be earned on retail merchandise purchased through both our webstore and café shop.

2.   Most of our prices include VAT at 20%. Meeple Stars are not earned on the VAT
portion of the price. For example, if you buy a game for £50, you’ll earn Meeple Stars on the net amount of £41.67 (the remaining £8.33 goes to HMRC), which would give you 125 Meeple Stars.

3.   Cover charge payments and food and drink purchases at the café do not qualify for
Meeple Stars.

4.   Meeple Stars can be redeemed either during webstore checkout or when purchasing games
at the café. Each discount can only be applied to a single purchase. If the value of the item is less than the discount amount, the remaining balance will be forfeited.

5.   Discounts cannot be used for shipping costs, only for merchandise.

Great Gateway Game

I love playing this game with friends new to modern board gaming. It's beautiful in it's artwork and the tactile, stackable bamboo parts are always a favourite! Light to medium strategy with lots of different ways to score points. Easy to set up and explain and the building of the map as you go is a fun mechanic for newbies. Definitely recommend.

All my friends and family have loved playing this!

A beautifully designed, easy to pick up and play game with just enough strategy to get people invested and excited to play. This has become my go-to game to take to family gatherings or introduce to people who don’t play as many board games. The mechanics are easy to teach and can be picked up pretty quickly.

Gorgeous game

Takenoko is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. The entire production is stunning with gorgeous artwork and lovely components with great attention to detail (even the panda and gardener figures are beautifully painted).

Beyond it's good looks though there is a lot going on. It's a relatively simple game to learn so it's a great gateway game, but it's also addictive! Once you've played it a few times you'll want to go back to it over and over to try different strategies and improve your score. We play it probably more than any other game because it has a nice level of challenge, especially after a long week when we're too tired for anything too heavy, and of course it has great replayability.

Appealing theme, great components, good level of challenge that will appeal to a broad range of people. I'd recommend this for both adults and families alike. It's my eight year-olds favourite game so we've just invested in the Takenoko Chibis expansion, which I'd also reccomend if you want to make the game a bit more 'thinky'!

Fun and strategic.

Played this with my boys (10 and 12). Took one game and a you tube video to learn, but then the gameplay leads to some very different games. The turns don't take too long and the game moves on well.
Good all round game with strategy, integration and some luck.
We love it.
