Welcome to our blog. This first post is all about introducing you to the people behind the website. The Games is run by three board game enthusiasts from Timaru Hamish, Tony, and Sam.

Hamish is the founder and genius behind The Games. As an avid board gamer, web software developer, and part time graphic designer thegames.co.nz was project that made a lot of sense.  When not playing board games he likes to be Managing Director of web software company Verb Ltd. Verb offer outstanding service to graphic designers throughout NZ and Aus.

Tony met Hamish a few years later and it wasn't long before they struck up a conversation about board games, which led to The Games website, to graphic design..... and that evening they decided to start a design company together. Tony now takes care of storing and shipping the games. When Tony's not playing board games he likes to be Creative Director of graphic design company Yellow Design Ltd.

I (Sam) was introduced to Hamish and The Games by Tony while I was in Dunedin. The chance to be involved in a board game website was a bit of a dream come true. I take care of stock levels and help people to find the right game. If you have an enquiry it'll most likely be me who responsed to you. When not playing board games I like being Studio Manager of photography business Callander Girl Photography.
