What we have sold to others


We've sold games to scout groups, after school clubs and youth clubs.

Our products can be used in specific projects, we once sold games from across the world to help children understand all the different cultures that were represented in their group.

Games are fun, but for the leaders of these groups they are the right kind of fun. Games provide a controlled social situation for children that allows children to interact with each other.

While games are competitive, they show children that you win some, you lose some.

  Welcome

 

Welcome to Compendia, the traditional games shop in Greenwich Market. Here you can buy board games, jigsaw puzzles, playing cards, dominoes and a range of fun bits and pieces.

Compendia is an independent family business run by Mr and Mrs Toogood. We design our product range around games we enjoy as a family.

We have a reputation for finding games that are difficult to get hold of. From America we have modern favourites like Mexican Train dominoes, the Pit card game and Phase 10 cards. We have ancient games from around the world, such as the Japanese board game Go and African Mancala. We also stock the best traditional British games including Shut the Box and Shove ha'penny.

Our games rely mainly on mind power and occasionally some manual dexterity. We do not sell computer games or games that require batteries or plugs. If you have any questions please give us a ring on 020 8293 6616. The shop is open from 11.00-5.30 seven days a week. If you are coming to see us for something in particular you are welcome to ring ahead and reserve things that you want. Here is a map to help you find us.

You can use the links on the right to enter our online shop. You can also choose to explore the world of games. The explore section hosts all our specialist services. There's help with buying gifts at compendia recommends and there are rules and instructions for traditional games for you to print out. You can also have a look at our current ebay auctions.
