In the Old West, the wily snake oil salesman had a special talent, getting the most skeptical customers to buy the most dubious products. Now it’s your turn! Invent your own zany two-word products – Rumor Mirror! Burp Balloon! – and sell them to all types of wacky customers. If the round’s customer buys your product, you win the round!
To set up the Snake Oil Board Game, each player takes six purple word cards. The customer for the round draws a customer card and announces it. Inventors quickly combine two purple word cards from their hand to form a crazy new product to sell to that customer. When ready, each inventor quickly pitches his or her product directly to the customer. The customer can end any pitch that goes longer than thirty seconds. The customer decides which product to buy and gives the inventor of that product the round’s customer card as the prize. Inventors discard all used word cards and take two new word cards each. The player to the left of the customer becomes the next round’s customer. Play repeats until each player has been the customer once.
Whoever collects the most customer cards wins the game.

Great Range, great prices and quick deliveries with items well packed for shipment. Would recommend online purchases through these guys any day. I am happier than a 3 legged man in a butt-kicking contest.
Quick and easy click and collect. Great price for what I bought. Pleasantly surprised by the ease of parking (was initially a bit hesitant about this). The (paper) carry bag was very nice too!
Found More than Meeples from the Boardgame BBQ podcast and PlayCon info. Super surprised with the range of games and pricing. Online order was simple and processing was as advertised. Ordered games I can't find closer to me and stoked to support a crew that supports the game community.
I must say - really really impressed with the packaging for online delivery. So neat with bubble wraps and other stuff inside to prevent damage. Games arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend
Made an order, very good prices and delivered from AUS to GB in ~3 days - I also wanted to add something to the order before it was shipped and they were really accomodating and quick to reply (despite the timezone difference)Kudos to Siegmund who helped me with my order :)
Customer service was excellent. They assisted me right away with the error and emailed me to let me know it was all fixed.Thank you to the team at More than Meeples. My package arrived within the specified time. 😊
Preordered a large kickstarter that ran into recurring delays. Aside that aspect (waited almost a year extra) which is out of their control, I’m very satisfied with my order, now that it’s received. Delivery was swift and painless once it got dispatched. Maybe I’ll steer away from preorders for a while, and order only what’s available upfront.
Amazing experience ordering games products from More Than Meeples. The prices are competitive and they were quick with their response to change my shipping option to express and shipping was reasonable. A great game shopping experience.
These guys are fantastic! Top quality products, very decently priced, and such a great range of both new and old, as well as upcoming kickstarters. Customer service is impeccable - they are very quick to respond, and any issue is sorted out in no time. More Than Meeples is our go-to for anything board game related!
My copy of Pax Pamir arrived promptly, and at a better price than I could find elsewhere. More Than Meeples has an excellent range, and I'd happily use them again.
My son was very happy with the cards we purchased for his birthday. Our order was ready for collection the next day and the staff were friendly and helpful.
This is the kinda shop that makes you wish you had a bottomless bank account. Hard to find board games and expansions, incredible prices and a wonderful team that both give you the space to browse their massive collection whilst sharing their deep knowledge from their love of the hobby. Has very rapidly become my friendly local BG store.
Brilliant games shop for anyone with an interest in games. From the serious gamer such as Warhammer/D&D, to the family sitting around a board game at a table, they have what you are looking for. And the staff were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
I bought Sky Team from this shop last week. It's a great board game store (online and in person) with an impressive range and very knowledgeable staff. Will shop here again I'm sure!
I'm kicking myself for ever buying any games from Amazon. MUCH happier to buy from this newly discovered local shop, run by friendly employees. (As well as friendly fellow customers with great advice!) Some of their prices were cheaper than I've seen on Amazon!I could spend ages in this shop. Does the same thing to me that a bookstore does.Would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially those trying to have less screen time and more connecting time. And I will most definitely go there again.... I've already got a list of the next games to buy!
more than needles have become one of my go-to stores for quality stock, amazing customer service, perfect postage and packaging and an easy customer experience :)
Great customer service as always. I have purchased from here numerous times & always received great customer service. If you have questions they are super helpful & very responsive. Highly recommend
Great store with a big selection of boardgames. We were helped by a very friendly and helpful staff member.I would definitely recommend this store if your are looking for any boardgames.
Met these lovely people at the March Board Game BBQ event. They have awesome games in stock at great prices! Will definitely be purchasing again in the future. Thank you so much for my copy of Fit To Print! :-)
Fantastic experience ordering games products from More Than Meeples. I am ordering from New Zealand and will recommend to all my friends. The communication is excellent, the prices competitive and shipping options fast and well priced. A great game shopping experience.
Great selection. I was so pleased to be able to get a couple of games I couldn’t seem to find elsewhere. They arrived well packaged and in good time. Would definitely buy from these guys again. Thanks!
First time shopper and I’m more than pleased with the quality of my items, the packaging it came in was very protected. Will definitely continue shopping for board games with more than meeples! Very satisfied.
As a first time customer, this will definitely not be the last with this wonderful store. More than Meeples stocks games easy and hard to find, and I am stoked they had For Northwood, which I hadn't been able to find anywhere else.
Ordered online and had an excellent experience. Really great range of games, well organised so I could find what I wanted. Great prices, was packed and delivered quite quickly and great communication. Love the name too!
Really great choice. Have ordered from them multiple times. Games arrived in good condition and on time. Good pricing and variety. Good range of kick starters and more variety of great games. Thanks and cheers!
Exceptional service, if there is ever an issue with your order or you just want to learn about a product further the support team will always make it a point to have a clear and concise response to your query.If you haven't made use of this service, you are missing out. They make games so accessible and a really good price.Please support, 10 out 10 recommend.
I've made three or four orders over the past couple of years and they've always been prompt with packing. I appreciate they stock a few niche games like Japanese trick takers and more fresh titles before other stores tend to pick up on them.
Placed an online order as I don’t live in the area. I found the website very easy to navigate, with good pictures and descriptions of the games. I placed my order on a Sunday night, and it was processed and shipped on Monday. Efficient business with good communication 👍
Thank you so much More Than Meeples. They were able to help me with a special request, the transaction was quick and easy and delivery was fast and efficient. Definitely would recommend.
Lovely store and friendly service. So good in fact, that I wrote a poem:In a cozy corner of the town, where joy and laughter blend,Stands a board game store, a treasure trove, where fun knows no end.With shelves of wonders and friendly faces galore,The owner, eccentric and weird, welcomes all through the door.Their passion for games is unmatched, their service always kind,Creating a haven where community and play entwine.In this magical space, where stories and laughter soar,The owner's charm adds to the store's allure.Best board game store in Brisbane!
I had an excellent experience ordering from More Than Meeples online.Being a physical store, rather than a service that replies on multiple suppliers of varying reliability, their ability to accurately report on stock is an increasingly rare delight. It might sound like a strange thing to praise, but having had a few recent experiences ordering online from other stores, and then being told weeks later that the stock had never been there and being issues a refund, this was a very nice change.The staff were also wonderful to deal with. They were helpful, and very fast with getting back to me to resolve any queries I had.I had a very positive experience with this store. They were transparent, and reliable. I'll certainly be looking to deal with them again.
Fantastic business. I was so happy to see the primordial starhost was still available, let alone on sale! Shipped to me so quickly and was well packaged. Definitely would buy from here again.
