Where to find us

We prefer that you contact us by e-mail to Games from Pevans. However, you can also call on 05601 480486 (+44 5601 480486 from outside the UK) or write to Games from Pevans, 180 Aylsham Drive, UXBRIDGE UB10 8UF, UK.

Note: we are not a shop, so please don't visit us at this address.

You can often find me (Pevans) at board games events. In particular I'm at Swiggers games club in central London most Wednesday evenings. If there's a specific game you want to try, contact Games from Pevans in advance and I'll bring it along if I can.

What is Games from Pevans?

Games from Pevans is a mail order service, selling board and card games to games enthusiasts. We are based in the UK (on the outskirts of west London). The games we sell are from small, specialist publishers in the UK, Germany, Australia and the USA. They are not toys and are intended for adults, though most are suitable for older children.

Games from Pevans is a trading name of Margam Evans Limited, the company through which Pevans earns his living (Reg. number 05152842, Reg. office 180 Aylsham Drive, UXBRIDGE UB10 8UF).

Although most of our customers are in the UK, we are happy to sell to people anywhere in the world – though note that you are liable for any duties or tax payable onto your own authorities. Most of the time it will probably be easier (and cheaper!) for you to buy from a local supplier or shop.

Why all the German games?

Board and card games are much more popular in Germany than the UK (or US). So there's a bigger market and lots of publishers. They produce some terrific games and many of these aren't published in English.

Most of the time, the language isn't a problem. The games use symbols, numbers and icons on cards and other components. So all that's needed in English are the rules to the game.

Games from Pevans provides a copy of the English rules with any game we sell that doesn't already include these. All you have to do is play the game.

Who is Pevans?

Pevans is me! All right, I am actually Paul Evans and I use Pevans as a pen name to distinguish myself from the all other Pauls (not to mention the other Paul Evanses) in the games world.

I have been involved in the games industry for nearly 20 years and first sold games by mail order in the early 1990s. I was co-founder of Games Games Games magazine, which I edited for twelve years. I review and write about board games (in my own 'zine, To Win Just Once, in my regular column in Flagship magazine and in Games International magazine). I publish En Garde!, the swashbuckling game, and have run a postal game of this (Les Petites Bêtes Soyeuses) since 1986.

You can find out more about me on the main Pevans website.
