Fantastic service and thoughtful touches
We recently purchased Finspan from Out of Town Games and were really impressed with the whole experience. The price was very competitive, and the order was dispatched quickly. Delivery was fast, and we were delighted to find a handwritten note included in the package—it made the experience feel that bit more personal.
Great service from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend OOTG and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Good service
The only store I could find with a copy of "Deep Regrets" in stock was one I had never heard of before. I was a bit wary, but the game arrived quickly and was well packaged, along with a nice handwritten note. I would definitely consider using Out of Town Games again.

Great price and service
Great price, order arrived safely and even had a little hand written now to say thanks. I'd chosen not to buy this from a big American company and am very happy with the service.

Fantastic service!
Out of Town Games were one of the only shops I could find which had stock of the Mistborn deckbuilding game I’d been looking for. After a quick glance at the glowing reviews, I figured it was worth a punt. The service was brilliant! The game arrived quickly, complete with a handwritten note, which was a very nice touch. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be purchasing from here again in the future!

Quick and pleasant order experience
Out of Town Games helped me to get a last minute Christmas present for my not-so-easy-to-buy-for brother. I ordered online and they dispatched my order quickly. I received it with no problems, even at a busy time of year. Really appreciate your help and my brother loved his game, thank you!
