Welcome to Zatu Games! Your favourite destination for everything to do with board games, trading card games, RPGs, miniatures and more!
Whether you’re catching up on current gaming news and reviews, or searching for the latest new releases, we’re here to help.
Here’s a quick guide to show you what you can expect from all of us here at Zatu Games!
Board Games
When we say board games we’re not talking about your classic Monopoly sets (although we do stock a lot of the Monopolies…) – we’re talking about unique, underground table toppers. We have a huge range of games currently on our website (tens of thousands), and that’s only the tip of the iceberg!
We stock great family and party games such as So Clover, That’s Not a Hat, and Hues and Cues. For the more serious gamers out there, we also have highly-rated strategy and cooperative games such as Ark Nova, Earth, Heat: Pedal to the Metal, and Sky Team.
Alongside the current top sellers, we also have plenty of exciting pre-orders. We add brand-new games to our site every week – and if you pre-order, you’ll be the first to crack open that shiny new box the moment it drops. (Just a heads up: publishers can shuffle dates from time to time – it’s out of our hands, but we’ll keep you in the loop!)
If you’re struggling and can’t decide which board game to buy then we have two great charts that you can check for inspiration. We have our Top 20 Chart, and an Editor’s Chart filled with the Zatu team’s favourite games!
Trading Card Games
Not only do we stock board games, but we also stock a whole load of Trading Card Games! So for those of you who prefer to dig your teeth into a booster box rather than the table, this is for you.
Under the Trading Cards section, we cover everything from Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! to Pokémon and Flesh and Blood, we stock the latest cards, boosters, and accessories. Looking to complete your deck? Need those elusive rares? We’ve got you covered with an ever-expanding collection of singles and sets.
As with board games, if you’re struggling and can’t decide which TCG to buy to buy then we have our Best Sellers chart you can check for inspiration!
The Gaming Centre
Speaking of all things Trading Cards – have you heard of the Zatu Gaming Centre? That’s right! We run our own events space jam packed with TCG tournaments and dedicated Miniatures room.
What’s On Offer:
Free Parking: There’s no need to worry about finding a space – we have plenty of free parking on-site to make your visit hassle-free.
Upstairs Miniatures Space: For those into miniatures, we have a dedicated upstairs space where you can hire a table (more info here) to lay out your terrain or set up epic battles.

UK Games Expo (UKGE)
Every year, you’ll find us at UK Games Expo (UKGE) – the biggest tabletop gaming convention in the UK (and one of the biggest in the world!). We always bring our biggest and best stand, filled with amazing deals, friendly faces, and a whole bunch of games to try.
Visitors to our stand can demo some of the latest titles, grab event-only offers, and chat to our team about all things board games. UKGE is also home to tons of tournaments, RPGs, cosplay, workshops, and more – and we’re proud to be part of the fun every year.
ZatuCon
We also host our very own event: ZatuCon! This one-day celebration often takes place in London, but we’ve even hosted one right here in Norwich, and it’s packed full of gaming goodness. Expect a jam-packed day featuring:
- Board game demos and open play
- Giveaways and prize draws
- Quizzes and competitions
- Special guests and exclusive demos
Our first ZatuCon was a huge hit – with attendees travelling from all over the UK to spend the day playing games, meeting other fans and enjoying the surprises in store throughout the day. We loved seeing the community come together, and we’ve been working hard to make each event bigger and better than the last!
