Who this is for
Board Games Website: Who We Build For
Board game sellers range from an indie publisher to a game store with a cafe. Most people ask about board games & tabletop games store design on Shopify in one of these six situations.
Indie game publishers going direct
Rules summaries and clear specs sell the game.
Game stores going online
A deep catalog needs structured filters.
Publishers with pre-orders and crowdfunding
Fulfilment and pre-order pages need templates.
Sellers of expansions and accessories
Add-ons lift order value.
Stores running events and demos
Game nights need their own pages.
Owners replacing a generic theme
Specs hide in text and buyers guess.
Problems solved

Filters are thin.
Outcome: Player count, time and complexity are not filterable.
Specs are buried.
Outcome: Components and age ratings hide in text.
Pre-orders are clumsy.
Outcome: Crowdfunding fulfilment and releases lack a template.
Add-ons are scattered.
Outcome: Expansions and accessories are separate.
Events are not shown.
Outcome: Game nights and demos have no page.
Distributors have no route.
Outcome: Trade buyers email for terms.

Age and licensing wording stays with you
We show the age ratings and licence wording you supply, and licensing checks stay yours to confirm.

Everything written down
Scope, settings and decisions are recorded, so another person could pick up your board games store later.
No promised sales
We design to help board games shoppers buy, and we never promise revenue or rankings.
Tested before you look
