Compendia Traditional Games in Greenwich Market was opened nearly 10 years ago. The shop sells traditional games and puzzles and has built a reputation for stocking a very wide range of games from around the world.

Part of the original concept of Compendia Traditional Games was to commission bespoke products and to make games that we couldn’t get hold of.

In the workshop the Carrom boards are cut, polished, printed and framed by
Rob Toogood, the guv'nor
Philippa Toogood, daughter number three
Theo, the designer
and
Sam Jones, the artist.

We’ve started to make Carrom boards, but over the next year we’ll be adding all sorts of wooden games to our range. These will all be traditional games, but some of them have fallen out of favour in the twentieth century so you may not have heard of them before.
