With subscription boxes now covering everything from vinyl records (one offering even includes tailor-paired cocktail recipes) and makey-doey crafts to the materials required for pagan rituals (seriously) and bacon, just bacon, it’s perhaps surprising that it’s taken so long for a monthly board game offering to pop up in the UK. (Overseas competitor Board Game Bento doesn’t ship outside of the US, presumably because of the heavy shipping fees involved.).
Board Game Crate first sprung up late last year and is still a decidedly homemade contrast to the custom- made boxes and impressive contents of big-fish geek boxes such as Loot Crate.
