Welcome

Spring has arrived and the crew at Boardgames.co.za are getting ready for another busy couple of months. rAge gaming expo is upon us and we look forward to our 4th year at this great event.

Another large shipment is in-bound from our suppliers with some great new games - read below for more information.

We have also signed up with more great suppliers. We will be acting as official South African distributors for North Star Games and Asmodée.

Several Board Game Clubs are starting up in various areas around the country and if anyone is interested in joining, or being put in touch with other interested parties in their area, they should please contact Barbara.

Please enjoy this issue of our newsletter, and help spread the word about the magic of board games by forwarding this on to all your friends and family so that they too can be enchanted like the rest of us :-)
