Want a game recommendation?
Just ask.
Tell us what you like, who you’re playing with, and how long you want to play. We’ll send back two or three real recommendations from our shelves — usually within one working day.

We answer most emails the same working day, usually with a question or three.
Thursday demo nights
Every Thursday from 19:00. Free to drop in. We pull a fresh game off the shelf around 19:30 — stay for as much or as little as you like.
Things people often ask.
Do I need to know the rules before I come in?
Not at all. Tell us roughly what you like and we’ll pull two or three games off the shelf and teach you the rules at our table. Most people buy something they wouldn’t have picked themselves.
How long does shipping take?
UK orders ship next working day. We use a tracked service that usually arrives in 1–2 days. Europe takes 4–7 working days. Anywhere else, 7–14 days. We’ll email you the tracking link as soon as it leaves the shop.
Can I return a game I don’t like?
Yes — within 30 days, for store credit. Played it twice and it didn’t click? Bring it back. The box doesn’t have to be sealed. We’d rather you trade it in than feel guilty about it sitting on a shelf at home.
Do you run game nights?
Every Thursday from 19:00. Drop-in, free, no booking. We bring out two or three games and teach them. Sometimes it’s eight people, sometimes it’s three. Both are fine.
I’m a publisher / designer — can I send you a game?
Always interested. Email hello@meeplehall.test with what you’re working on. We can’t reply to every pitch, but we read all of them and we always reply if there’s a fit.
