About Shiny Games

Shiny Games is an online games store focusing on bringing the best and brightest miniature skirmish and role playing games to the UK and Europe. Shiny Games was started with the intention of highlighting great games that were yet to gain the popularity they deserved amongst the gaming community. Equally, many of these games provided a brighter experience than the grim and dark leaders in the miniature wargaming and role playing fields.

The idea of Shiny Games was conceived during a campaign of one such grim and dark game.

Grim and dark miniature wargames are a lot of fun, and we at Shiny Games were playing in just such a campaign when it became increasingly clear that not all the players were enjoying it equally. The game favoured those who knew it best to a significant extent and the more casual miniature gamers struggled to remain enthusiastic. Equally, the number of miniatures involved was getting increasingly difficult to prepare for games. The campaign was feeling increasingly like a job rather than a hobby, and not a job that made you popular with your friends.

…And Then There was Shiny Games

And so we decided to create Shiny Games and shed some light on these games that needed to be seen more clearly. We’re not anti-grim, dark games (and we can probably get them for you if you want) but they seem to be doing just fine at the moment without our help.

Welcome to Shiny Games, we hope you like what you see here.
