Tabletop Junkie aims to make it easier to buy, sell, and trade board games

More Board Game News

How can modern web tech smooth out the rough patches in buying and selling used board games? UK based Tabletop Junkie has a plan. Read on for the details.

Move over eBay, there’s a new website in town that aims to help board gamers buy, sell, and trade, board games. Tabletop Junkie launched in 2025 and its aim is to take out the middleman and allow gamers to deal directly with each other. Billing themselves as a “community-driven, peer-to-peer marketplace for people who buy, sell, and trade board games and accessories”, they allow anyone to list games on their platform so that others can find those games and potentially buy or trade for them.

Unlike other marketplaces which attempt to shoehorn board games into a “one size fits all mold”, Tabletop Junkie is built from the ground up to make it easier to interact with the games. Features include game wishlists that provide instant notifications when a matching game is added, direct imports from BoardGameGeek, a calculator that provides real-time market pricing, built in links to review sites (like ours in fact), and more.

Sellers can upload a single image of a set of games, and their system will group them together as part of a “collection” while also providing a listing for each game individually. Buyers can pick their favorite sellers, preferred payment types, and the option to negotiate. Both parties can easily navigate the site using common elements like player count, theme, mechanisms, but also custom categories like “Best at 2 players” or “Low luck”.

The only downside right now, at least for our readers outside of the UK, is that their user base is primarily in the UK. There’s nothing preventing people from listing games in other countries, but your chances of making a sale or trade go way down. That said, “Joe”—the proprietor of Tabletop Junkie, definitely has plans to expand naturally as the site grows in popularity.

So if you’re in that part of the world, check out Tabletop Junkie.
