The Memory Game is gorgeous and even better quality and more beautiful than descrbied and pictured. This is the second checkers set I have orderd. I use these indoors and outdoors. There is no fading in color, the mat cleans easily, and a little bleach and Comet cleans the white pieces to just like brand new! (read more)

I ordered this game from Masters Traditional Games. Arrived promptly, game exactly as expected, great. One problem, one of the parts had paint chipped.

“Hand-made Oak Shove Ha'Penny Board”
Written on: 15/04/2013
Ordered standard size, which was perfect but a little small, gave a custom specification and received a very high quality product. The company were brilliant in agreeing to our non-standard request. I could not recommend them highly enough. Quality of wood and finish excellent, finish of varnish and scoring zones excellent. My son said it is superb he is 8 and has an eye for quality and tells it as it is. A great service and high quality product, no problems always looking to satisfy the... (read more)

“Top quality. Almost perfect. ”
Written on: 13/04/2013
Service+ information+ delivery super. The cartons are a pity, that where the Carpet Bolws are, are broken to 50% inside. One would have been supposed to give cushions between carton and the boxes. You can resell so only without box. Fast delivery of the UPS. The Bowls have Top Quality. Any time again. Bolws, a game for young and old. Hotels, camping, sports halls etc. a quiff product.

I wanted a small 'joblot' of games - but as i am a really small trader, i only wanted a dozen items....they offered me a 15% discount and free p&p, which is just about aas much as I could expect Quality of items was exactly as described, and the feedback I have had from the sales I have made have been excellent.

“Ancient Egyptian Game of Senet”
Written on: 10/04/2013 by Recurveman
Being interested in Egyptology, I first saw an example of this game on a TV documentary programme hosted Egyptologist Dr Joanne Fletcher. Apparently the game is still played today and has been likened to Backgammon. Wishing to buy this game, a thorough search of the internet revealed that the game was available, but mainly in the U.S. At last I discovered "mastergames.com" where the game was reasonably priced. Accordingly I ordered Senet and was pleased to receive. it within a short time... (read more)

“Great for high quality games”
Written on: 29/03/2013
Good website, great collection of quality traditional games all in one site. Good communication and fast despatch. Bagatelle board, crokinole and table skittles have been big success. At recent get-together bagatelle thoroughly enjoyed by 4 year old, 80 year old and all ages between! If you look hard you can find some of the mid-range games cheaper on other individual shop websites, but this site has the best range and is best for top-of-the-range games. (read more)

“Chess/draughts table”
Written on: 27/03/2013
Lovely quality for the price, and perfect for the elderly and disabled to use. The size of the table is good and the chess and draughts pieces are large and easy to handle. Only one fault and that is that the supplier is in the Netherlands and they don't seem too keen to supply their outlets in the UK. For the item to be in stock took a few weeks.Once in stock, delivery was next day and included in the price which was a bonus. (read more)

“Bagatelle Balls”
Written on: 08/03/2013 by littlemark
Fast and efficient service on my order, which arrived well packaged. The advice on the correct size to order for my Bagatelle table was useful and accurate. Prices on some items from Masters Games are a little higher than I would like, but as a one-stop shop for traditional games and accessories they're in a field of their own, with many items I simply wouldn't be able to find anywhere else.

“Saw it on holiday, couldn't wait to get one! ”
Written on: 01/03/2013 by BSteve (1 review written)
We first saw Sjoelen/Shuffleboard on holiday at the Hotel Arena, Corralejo, Fuerteventura. It was a great poolside game to play in the sunshine and was enjoyed by all who played. It can be played by young or not so young and its surprising how addictive the game becomes. I searched online when we got back intending to build one myself. however, having seen the standard of finish and price of this item on Masters, I thought why go to all that trouble to build something inferior! Ordering was... (read more)

“1 x Traditional style Octagonal Crokinole Board”
Written on: 31/01/2013 by thegreatzonko (1 review written)
The quality of this board is superb, beautifully crafted and solid. The delivery time was brilliant and overall very happy. Could have been perfect if the following three things were added; Would have appreciated a slightly nicer instruction manual/polishing instructions; Would have liked a small pouch to store the discs; A felt tray liner would have been ideal for buffing discs. 4.5/5 :-) (read more)

My backgammon set arrived exactly when expected, and was very securely packed . I was impressed that MTG were honest about the limitations of the set (ie the dice) rather than attempting to mislead.

“Buy From Masters!”
Written on: 03/01/2013 by vandymark (1 review written)
I live in Florida, and I have been intrigued by Masters Traditional Games website for a long time. We once had a lesser version of "Step Quoits" which was played so often that it fell apart. Alas, no one in America makes or sells this game... Delightedly, Masters does, and having been convinced by the description of its quality, I ordered it. Step Quoits arrived (in perfect condition!) only a few days after my order was placed. This game is constructed beautifully, and seems designed to... (read more)
