"Buy" or "Try"

Only applies to those games listed with a "Try Price"

Because we believe the games we sell are loads of fun, BUT each person's taste in board games is different, we're offering a service which lets you "Try" out the games first. This is to ensure you and the game are a great match and it works like this:
  1. You buy the game (for the "Buy" price) from thegames.co.nz.
  2. You play the game.
  3. You decide, for whatever reason, you don't want to keep the game.
  4. Within 3 weeks you return the game in a complete and excellent condition.*
  5. We turn your "Buy" into a "Try" and refund you the difference between the "Buy" and the "Try" price.**
  6. You've now hired the game for 3 weeks and had the fun of opening, learning and trying it out and now you can do it all over again with another game!
  7. Otherwise if you like the game - you keep it.

We will give you a small feedback form with each purchase so you can give us your thoughts about the game, along with your bank account details for returning the balance of payment.

Example:
Mrs Game buys the game The Settlers of Catan for $77.00.  The "Try Price" is $19.75. After receiving the game and playing it for a couple of weekends, she decides she would rather not add it to her collection so she returns the game to us and receives her refund of $57.25 ($77.00 - $19.75).
She fills in the form we supplied with the game and mails them both back to us. Upon receiving the complete game we deposit the money into her account within the next working day.

* Cost of returning the game is to be met by the purchaser.
The goods must be returned in excellent condition with no broken or missing pieces.
"Try" option currently limited to two items per person at any one time.
