Games Catalogues
Mad Hatter Board Games sell Board Games using the Catalogue, which is send out to interested parties on a regular basis. The vast majority of our stock is Second hand, and for this reason we have defined the Quality in which our games exist / are sold. These are listed in the table underneath.
We have many different games, but of most games we have very little stock. If you want to buy a game please contact us as soon as possible, so we can set the game aside for you. We can then also establish if the game is the exact version that you want. In case we are shipping the game(s) to you we will establish the P&P cost before you settle your payment.
What is in the catalogues? Every month we will be adding a games catalogue of our current stock. By clicking on the image of the catalogue you will be able to see what is available, a description of the game, condition and price. Some games have not got prices yet and marked with POA, so please ask if you are interested.
Something you would like, but do not see? Every Browsing the catalogues shows a few of the games we have in stock, however we have 1000's more which we have not added to the catolgues. So if you have a certain game you are looking for, please do ask us as there is a good chance we have it in stock.

Condition Types
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).
Payment & Terms of Conditions
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
Catalogue Prices are in sterling (GBP, £).
Prices are to be paid up front.
We accept payment in cash, by cheque or bank transfer
Santander UK, Sort code: 09-01-29, Account nr: 38644717
Postage
Postage and packing is not included but can be arranged on request. We use the post office around the corner and ship 2nd class. Other methods/carriers on 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
Before you pay we will check with you which actual version of the game you are buying. This could for example be by means of a few words, a picture, or an internet link. Games will be checked for completeness before we ship. When the game(s) arrive and something is not in line with your expectation please contact us as soon as possible and we will sort it out to the best of our abilities.
