About Sword & Board
We are now closed but Exeter has other great independent board game shops that are worth supporting with your custom such as Board, Imperial Games and Clifton Road Games.

Currently on the hunt for Mage Miniatures who seem to have disappeared from Facebook. I still have a cabinet full of gorgeous minis and no way to return them! Can anyone help?
Beautiful work!
Had a few queries about the bands we used for our library games. This is one of the best prices we’ve found for them.
Thanks to everyone for our great last day yesterday. You’ll be seeing us around Exeter with events and games from time to time!
25% or more, last day!
Tomorrow is our last day open! We’ll be open from 9am til 5:30pm with at least 25% off everything in the shop. Come by and see what you can pick up.
This coming week the shop will only be open on Saturday 27th. Open from 9am - 5:30pm. This will be our last day open and further discounts available!
We’re open today and next Saturday ( if we have stock left) so come and get some money off and help us clear stock 🙂
If you have a gift voucher for the shop please be sure to use it before we close. If you miss our closing you can still contact us through this page and we will refund the cost.
Open in ten minutes with 15% off! Don’t forget Christmas is coming! Good for presents and then it’s New Year so we’re good for party gaming!
We may not have a shop but we still intend on doing our charity 24 hour gaming day for International Tabletop Day 2019! More in the new year!
Good morning, Today we have some sad news to tell you. Due to personal reasons the shop will be closing within the next few weeks. We’ve had a great year and have made some amazing friends and will continue to organise events in the area including 24 hour gaming day.
Due to the shop closing our hours are going to be a little different: Wednesday 17th - Open at 4pm... Thursday 18th - 12pm til 9pm Friday 19th - 9am til 5:30pm Saturday 20th - 10am til 5:30pm
We will post the hours for the following weeks closer to the time. While we are in the process of closing we have 15% off everything in the shop so it’s a good chance to grab a bargain.
Edit: Thanks for all the messages. Just want to clarify that the personal reasons are not illness, we’re all okay and we’ll.

Order going in for more dice very soon! They’ve barely hit the counter and you lot are buying them all ❤
Amazing prizes and sure to be a great day!
Vast selection of board games, miniatures, paints, cards and DM supplies to suit anyone's needs. Very friendly staff willing to discuss and recommend games, and a wonderful testing and gaming area. Highly recommended visit if you are in the area!
This shop is fabulous. Amazing gaming tables, a tavern-themed room for fantasy, great selection of games to appeal to all gamers, and friendly staff.
Super helpful and friendly! Will definitely buy from again.
Purchased Civilisation a new dawn from here about a week ago. Friendly staff, great layout and very cheap compared to competitors. Love the game and will be coming back.
My son has been coming here with his enabler and today I've had a message can they stay longer as he is building this is his 3rd time going here and loves it all staff friendly and understanding and son is finally into something so thank you x
Just popped in to see what they had, I was impressed. Altiplano, Gaia Project, Photosynthesis and many other including Battle Sheep which I came away with!
Rhiannon has done a fantastic job in getting this shop up and running and is enthusiastic and knowledgable.
I will be back!
It is a cornucopia of games and gaming accouterments. A veritable emporium of the gaming world and yet in it's fledgling stage. The dragon head is yet to be fitted on the wall, but I was easily distracted by the abundance of games. All that was missing was the rainbow unicorn!
In my experience this is easily the friendliest store of its type in Devon. Relaxed and with a great range....I don’t use the tables or games library but it’s there if you want it. Prices are competitive compared to Amazon and cheaper than similar shops in the city. Try here first before going anywhere else!
Had a great mooch here and enjoyed our first game tonight of the recommended 'Jaipur'.
Great selection of games, cards and D&D stuff. Lovely helpful owner. Look forward to spending money!
Great for people who are new to RPG's or boardgames as staff are knowledgeable and don't mind spending the time to talk to you about what game or system you are looking to get into. They may even have a demo copy for you to look at and test play before you make a decision.
Friendly staff and the D&D beginners night was excellent fun both times my boys and I tried it. Inspiring and a good addition to the gaming shops in town.
Brilliant board game store with a massive selection. Reasonably priced as most games are either at RRP or under so you won't get ripped off unlike larger retailers! There is an open gaming space you pay just £2.50 to use with loads of games to choose from. The custom made tables for hire in the games room are incredible, we used them as the perfect setting for our RPG on a Friday night.
An excellent venue with great events ran by awesome people. :)
Amazing shop! The advice and time spent with me to help choose a potential game for our 6 year old was great. Best customer service I can remember!
Amazing selection of games and gaming accessories. Lovely and helpful owner and places to rent out for a few hours to game with friends! Absolutely brilliant shop!
A great selection of games and useful advice. An area to try out and be taught the games before you buy and the amazing private gaming rooms for hire are brilliant.
