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.

Orders will be held for a maximum of 21 days before being returned to our warehouse.

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 team-building game

This game is definitely an evergreen of cooperative play. Still fun to go back to after all the years since its release. The simple rules and tension the game provides makes it the perfect choice for a gift to someone who loves gaming... or needs an introduction to modern design.

Good game but more complex than Forbidden Island

Forbidden Desert is a fun and often challenging game for any number of players. It certainly isn't a "pick-up and play" game as the rules take a while to be digested. For introducing players to the hobby, I would say Forbidden Island is much better. This sits well with a more dedicated gaming group, rather than a casual party with newcomers. Still - a very enjoyable game with a great presentation.

Great game

We already had Forbidden Island and enjoyed the teamwork involved, and the fact every game is different - Forbidden Desert not only had these elements but was also surprisingly different as a game - and like it’s counterpart in some important aspects really feels true to life - like the existence of mirages and the way the storm moves around the board creating havoc.

Family favourite

Similar mechanic to ‘Forbidden Island’. Very easy to learn and fun to play. Great co-operative game!

A good family game

Not too complex to learn and a nice cooperative game. One we've played quite a bit.
