FAQ - High Quality Games
I am only interested in superb quality games even if they cost a lot. Which games on your site qualify as no-shortcut, out and out premium quality?

You talk about specialising in High Quality games. But some of your games appear to be mass-produced and relatively inexpensive. Why is that?
Well one man's quality is another man's cheap dross, of course - these things are subjective. However, we also specialise in unusual and unique games and so we've made some exceptions in order to include something that we otherwise couldn't sell.
e.g. the only Double 15 domino sets that are available come in a rather cheap vinyl covered box which we don't like. But Double 15 domino aren't that easy to find and we like to make sure that we make things like this available. So we would rather sell this (with the appropriate warning) than not sell them at all.
