The Board Game Book: Volume 2 is a coffee-table guide to tabletop games from UK publisher Clyde & Cart Press, edited by Owen Duffy and written with games journalists Matt Thrower, Richard Jansen-Parkes, Anna Blackwell and Dan Jolin. This 2020–2021 volume has all-new reviews and exclusive designer interviews, with studio photography of the latest releases. It covers quick family and party games right through to complex strategy and role-playing games, indie titles included, so it's a great read for anyone who loves board games.
Gobgob's favourite bit: The studio photography. Every page makes Gobgob's wishlist longer, which is bad news for Gobgob's shelf.

Borrowing by post
Members anywhere in New Zealand can borrow by post. Postal swaps go out every Thursday. The cutoff is Wednesday 10pm for Thursday delivery.
Postage out is charged at our normal website shipping rates, and you pay to post games back to us.
Missing pieces and damage
Check the box when you borrow it. If a piece is missing, tell us at the counter so it isn't charged to you.
Pieces that go missing or get damaged while a game is with you can be charged up to the game's RRP, unless our staff waive it. Normal wear and tear is fine. The full details are in the library terms.
