The Christmas Catalogue Has Arrived!
At Mad Hatter Board Games most of our games are preowned and have been acquired from people that were downsizing or shops that went bust. We create a themed catalogue on a monthly or every other month basis depending on how many games we have coming in. Most of the games we only have one or two copies of so you may need to be quick to buy before they go.
How to Buy?
1. Browse the catalogues
2. Send us an email with the games you want to: friendlyfolk@madhatterboardgames.co.uk
3. Wait for our reply (usually within a day)
New/In shrink
The game is unused and the packaging is still around it. It doesn’t get better than this. (Some card games / booster packs etc come in foil bags or maybe other types of packaging so that’s why we sometimes say something other than ” in shrink”.)
Excellent
The shrink has been removed; contents may be punched or un-punched. The box and game components are in great condition. Virtually unused, there may be a few small scratches or other signs that the game has been played before.
Good
The shrink has been removed, the components have been un-punched, the game has obviously been played, cards and other components may look used, but the game is perfectly playable in this condition. A game produced decades ago whose box and/or contents are obviously worn could still get this qualification.
Playable
The box probably looks a bit scruffy, the essential parts of the game are there, cards probably look used, some bits may be missing and have been replaced with non-original items. The game is therefore playable, but may well look like your own copy of powergrid (which you have played a hundred odd times and took on holiday with you to Turkey where it got dented in the hotel lobby).
Something you would like but do not see?
Requests/ Wants List
We have access to thousands of different boardgames, old and new, mostly second hand.
Send us your wants lists and we will let you know which game(s) we can supply to you.
Accuracy
We use BoardGameGeek (BGG) to verify which version of games we sell. This isn’t always easy, given the number of Catan / Carcassonne / Bluff variants exist internationally. If you spot an error in our catalogue or website please let us know. We use our own system (not the BGG system) to classify the condition of the games.
Versions
If you are after a particular version of a game- please let us know. We are happy to clarify which particular version of Catan / Carcassonne / Bluff etc we are actually offering in the catalogue or on our website.
Payments
We accept payment in cash, by cheque, PayPal or bank transfer
Postage
Postage and packing is not included but can be arranged on request. We use YODEL DIRECT for UK shipping, which includes a tracking link and insurance.
Collection from Cambridge or Scarborough is free of charge. International shipping by request.
P&P is to be paid up front.
We try and reuse packaging over and over again, so if the packaging looks dodgy – that’ll be why. (Re-use, re-cycle!)
Returns Policy
When you receive the game(s) and find anything wrong with it (them) please contact us and we will sort it out.
