Most of our games have pieces packaged in bags or elastics within their boxes to help organize the game for easy learning, quick setup, and trackability. We ask that you do not throw out these packaging materials and try to return the pieces to their respective packaging wherever possible. If nothing else, if the bags and elastics are kept along with the pieces in the box we can re-sort the parts if required.

Plastic sleeves are on some cards to protect against spills and dirt. We ask that you do not remove the cards from the sleeves and otherwise can play the games as normal. These sleeves are not waterproof, so please continue to handle them with care as you would with a non-sleeved card.

On our site, some games have only digital versions of the instructions and contents to allow for full accessibility, an eco-friendly approach, and preservation of copies for future players. Also, some instructions have videos and websites from the game manufacturers to explain the rules. These are not provided by The Board Bartender but are resources available to players for enhancing the gaming experience.

We only provide English rules for all our games as we cannot fully support other languages at this time. Feel free to contact us if you require any other languages and we will strive to support where we can to ensure game enjoyability.

A few of our games require phone applications to get the full player experience. These are provided by the game providers and are not supported by The Board Bartender but will be noted on the product page if required.

The image online of a given game may not match the exact copy provided in your order as we house multiple copies with identical rules in our collection.

Some games will have notes about piece changes to ensure game longevity. For example, a game that asks to place stickers on a game board may have stickers on tokens to ensure reuse and we ask you to use the token in the same manner as the sticker would be used.

As always, for any game that may or may not include alcoholic beverages, please drink responsibly and feel free to enjoy the game without the reliance on alcohol.

Firstly, we ask that all players be respectful and courteous when interacting with our staff whether in person, by written correspondence, or via phone interactions. We do suggest approaching any players you invite to your board game night with the same respect to make the night enjoyable for everyone involved.

Secondly, for delivery and pick up, we will be happy to deliver any order to a secure and reasonably publicly accessible location at your selection. We will not be entering private residences for both our safety and yours. Please keep these directives in mind when choosing a drop off and pick up point.

Thirdly, in playing our games, we understand that wear and tear are likely to occur. We ask that all games be returned in the same condition as provided with reasonable use. This means that if a game has protective measures, such as sleeved cards, we ask for you to keep those measures in place to prevent damage and that you do not make any permanent changes to the games.

Finally, we ask that all pieces and parts to a game be returned in the box or container it arrived in to ensure the next player can enjoy the game and to avoid any inadvertent damaged game charge. Unreturned games and games damaged beyond playability will be subject to a fee equivalent to their MSRP at the discretion of The Board Bartender.
