Board game enthusiasts understand the excitement of finding the perfect game for their collection or passing a favorite title to a new player. However, searching for second-hand board games often involves endless scrolling through Facebook groups or managing multiple platforms that do not work well. This is where Tabletop Junkie comes in. It is a new website designed to make buying and selling used board games easier, faster, and more enjoyable. Developed by Joe, a software developer who loves board games, this platform aims to solve the common problems players face when trading games online.
WBG has nothing to do with this site or Joe. We were simply asked to provide access to our back catalogue of reviews so that games being sold could have a review section. We accepted, got intrigued by the idea, so asked for an interview.
Getting Started with Tabletop Junkie
Signing up is straightforward. After creating an account, users can start browsing or listing games immediately. The platform encourages clear photos and honest descriptions to build trust among buyers and sellers.
Joe plans to keep improving the site based on user feedback, adding features like wish lists and trade offers in the future. The community-driven approach means Tabletop Junkie will evolve to meet the needs of board gamers everywhere.
So, lets sit down and talk with Joe…
How would you describe the site to someone completely new to it? How can they benefit from what it offers?
It is a community-driven marketplace for buying and selling second-hand board games, with zero fees.
It is designed to make selling as fast and low-effort as Facebook groups, but with proper structure and features built specifically for board gamers. You can bulk-list dozens of games from a single photo. Just add the titles and prices, and the system takes care of the rest. It creates individual listings automatically, fills in game specs, remembers your seller preferences, and adds BGG links and third-party reviews where available.
As a seller, it means you can get your listings up quickly with minimal effort. As a buyer, everything you need is right there: game specs, links to the BGG page, third party reviews, and filters that let you browse by genre, mechanic, theme, feature and more.
The fine-grained filters let you narrow in on exactly what you are after – search for Kickstarter editions, filter by player count or playtime, or limit results to accessories and expansions for a specific game. If you would rather not check the site every day, you can import your BGG wishlist and get an email the moment something on it pops up at your target price.
And if you prefer to keep things local, you can filter and sort listings by distance to skip postage entirely.
At its core, everything is built to be fast, presentable, intuitive, and highly automated, giving users maximum control and precision without friction or clutter.
