The website is easy to navigate and the ordering process was good to use. Managing the account isn't difficult and the delivery was swift. Happy with my purchase and will return for more in future.

Was a bit disappointed with the time it took to dispatch my order despite all items being in stock, but apart from that everything was great.

So far they have not let me down. Order on a night and it gets sent out next day, Royal Mail drop it of 1 to 2 days later. And they are not that bad on price of games.

You were recommended to me as a great place to buy board games. I wanted a gift for my Son. The game arrived very quickly and was packaged perfectly. I have also seen lots of games that I previously didnt know existed on your site giving me loads of options for future board night ideas and ofc more gifts as we are a family of board gamers.

Zatu is my first stop for any game. I know the price will be less than anywhere else, I know it will be dispatched almost immediately, I know it will land on my doorstep within a couple of days, I know there will be good communication, I know I will also get bonus points and I know that the service will be the best. Why would I go anywhere else?

I love zatu games, I get all my boardgames from this store! since bying games from Zatu ive had 0 issues. everything arrives on time and often before expected.Packaging is great and items are always kept safe during transit. Their own custom acsessories such as dice trays and towers are of a high quality and feel great to use.Ill always buy from zatu!
