Edinburgh Board Game Library has hundreds of board games to be borrowed! Take them home and play with friends and family.
After a busy few weekends of moving, we’re thrilled to announce our reopening in a new location! Here are some important updates:
Book games up to 30 days in advance for 7 or 14 days. You can renew yourself once for an additional 7 days.
Due to space constraints, some games are stored offsite. These will be marked as “In storage” in our online inventory and cannot be borrowed. We aim to rotate these games in once we’re fully settled.
Our new shelves allow you to see more of our collection! Come along, browse, and ask for recommendations. We have many popular games ready to borrow.
To ensure fair access, we’re reducing the borrowing limit for Regular and Concession memberships from four to three games. We’ll monitor this and adjust as needed.
