Compendia

A specialist in traditional games, such as board games, dominoes, playing cards and jigsaw puzzles, Compendia. As well as the usual suspects, like backgammon and chess), there are a range of more obscure games, such as mancala (an African game often compared to chess), the Japanese board game Go and Mexican train dominoes (a Latin American variant on the classic game). On other shelves, there are traditional British pub games like skittles and shove ha’penny, and poker and casino games. Board games include Pass the Bomb, Treasure Island and Settlers of Catan. What you won’t find here are computer games or games that require plugs or batteries.
