We'll deliver the games straight to your door, you play for as long as you like, and when you're ready… swap for something new.
It’s simple, flexible, and fun.
-
Which Plan Suits You Best?
We offer two plans designed around how you like to play. And no matter which one you choose, every box includes 2–3 games, with the exact number depending on the pack and difficulty mix you prefer. You can always add an extra game if you like.
-
🐱 FLEX
FLEX is perfect for more casual or occasional players. It comes with a lower upfront cost, and you’re free to swap your box at any time for a small fee of €29.90. No pressure, no rush — just play at your own pace.
-
🌊 FLOW
FLOW is made for regular gamers who want peace of mind and easy swaps. You pay upfront, and as long as you’ve kept your current box for at least a month, you can swap it for free whenever you're ready. It’s the most seamless way to keep the fun going, without overthinking it.
-
Language Availability
Our games come in Dutch 🇳🇱 and English 🇬🇧, so having a basic understanding of both will make things easier and to enjoy the games comfortably.
You can tell us your language preferences, and we’ll always try to match them — though we can’t promise every time.
If you’d like to be sure, you can always pick your own games with the 'Add to Box' feature (see Swap Your Box section below).
-
Your Preferences Matter
Want to help us pick the perfect games for you? In your Profile page, you can share:
- Games you already own (so we avoid duplicates)
- The types of games you enjoy most
- Any other details that might guide our selection
We’ll always do our best to match your preferences when building your box.
-
Before You Go...
If you decide not to renew your plan (no hard feelings — we hope you had a blast!), just make sure to return your current box and all its games within 2 business days after your plan ends.
📦 Swap Your Box
When you're ready for something new, swapping your box is easy — and designed to keep the fun going with minimal downtime.
If you're on the FLOW Plan, you can request a free swap anytime after keeping your current box for at least one month.
On the FLEX Plan, you can still swap whenever you like — there's just a small fee of €29.90.
-
How to Request a Swap
Just head to "My Action" in the main menu and follow the instructions. Once we receive your request, we'll send you a return label within 24 business hours.
As soon as your return is on the move (we'll know once it's scanned by the courier), we’ll ship your next box — usually within 1 to 3 business days. That way, you won’t be left game-less for long!
-
Pick Your Pack
When swapping, you can choose between two different packs depending on your mood or playing style:
- The Balanced Pack includes 3 games: 1 Easy, 1 Medium, and 1 High-complexity.
- The Advanced Pack includes 2 High-complexity games.
-
Want to Choose the Games Yourself?
You can! Just use the "Add to Box" feature before submitting your swap request. You’ll be able to pre-pick:
- Up to 3 games with the Balanced Pack (1 Easy, 1 Mid, 1 High)
- Up to 2 games with the Advanced Pack (2 High)
As long as your picks respect the complexity breakdown of the pack, you’re good to go. If you skip this step or only pick some of the games, don’t worry — we’ll hand-pick the rest with care. We take matching games to your tastes very seriously.
-
Add an Extra Game
You can also throw in one additional game to your box. The price will depend on the complexity level you choose. And yes, you can pre-select this one too using the same "Add to Box" feature.
-
A Relevant Heads-Up
We don’t ship new boxes within 14 days before your current plan period ends. So, if you request a swap during that time, your new box will be dispatched only after your plan is either renewed or reactivated.
🔎 Meeple Care Process
At EasyMeeple, we’re committed to giving you the most seamless and enjoyable board game experience possible. We want you to focus on the fun — not the fuss.
But here’s the truth: thorough quality control on every box can be expensive, and those costs would inevitably increase the price for everyone. That’s why we’ve introduced a better way: Meeple Care Process.
-
What is Meeple Care Process?
Meeple Care Process means we’re working together to keep your games in top shape — without driving up prices.
If you receive a game with any issues, you can report it quickly through our dedicated portal. This helps us take fast action before the box reaches another player, keeping the experience high-quality across the community.
-
No Need to Count, Just Let Us Know
Don’t worry, we’re not asking you to check every single piece the moment you open the box. Just dive in and enjoy the game, assuming everything’s there.
If, during play or while packing up, you notice something’s missing or damaged, that’s the perfect time to let us know.
No stress, no friction — just a small favor that helps us keep the experience smooth and the prices low for everyone.
-
And yes — we still do our part.
We carry out full internal quality checks on every game that’s been swapped five times, making sure it remains up to our standards.
-
Most Cases Are Simple
If you report a missing or damaged component, we’ll assess the situation and determine if any action is needed. In most cases, one of the following will apply:
- The game is still fully playable without the component
- The missing part can be easily substituted with a common object (like a coin or token)
These cases make up the vast majority of situations, and you’ll still be able to enjoy the game as intended without interruption.
-
When Gameplay Is Disrupted
If the issue prevents you from playing the game altogether — meaning the component is essential and can’t be replaced — we’ll take corrective action.
Depending on the case, we may:
- Add an extra game to your next box
- Offer compensation in the form of store credit
🎲 How We Pack Our Games
We want your experience to be smooth from the moment you open the box to the moment you pack it back up. That’s why we put extra care into how we organize every game we send out — not just for fun, but to make everything faster, easier, and more enjoyable for you.
-
How we Pack Games and Components
- All the smaller components — like tokens, meeples, cards, coins, tiles, and similar — are neatly packed into individual transparent bags.
- Each bag has a clear label for every component inside, showing both the name and the total quantity (so you'll know exactly what belongs where).
- Larger components that don’t fit in bags are labeled directly inside the game box, in the compartment where they’re stored.
- On the inside of the box cover, you’ll find a handy QR code linking to a how-to-play video, so you can learn the rules quickly — and with no manual flipping required.
- Player-specific items (like red, blue, or green player sets) are grouped together to facilitate the initial game setup.
-
Why We Pack This Way
We’ve designed this system to support four things we care deeply about:
- Quick and easy game setup — get to playing the game faster.
- Simplified learning — visual guides help you skip the rulebook.
- Fast and reliable quality control — for us and for you.
- Stress-free packing — everything goes back exactly where it came from, making it ready for your next game night… or the next Meeple who’ll enjoy it.
- Quick and easy game setup — get to playing the game faster.
💰 Refundable Deposit
Renting out board games means trusting that every Meeple will treat them with the same love and care we do. But sometimes, games don’t come back — or they return in rough shape. That’s a risk we accept, but we don’t want to hide it in the price you pay.
To keep EasyMeeple affordable and transparent, we’ve introduced a Refundable Deposit.
-
Why a Refundable Deposit?
The deposit acts as a simple deterrent — just a way to ensure that games return safe and sound, ready for the next player to enjoy. It’s not a fee, and it’s not a hidden cost. It’s held securely by our team (safely guarded, as seen in the image 😄)
-
We'll Retain Deposit If:
- We receive 4 minor complaints about the condition of your returned games within the last 12 months
(amount to be assessed, potentially full deposit). - A serious complaint is reported (e.g. multiple missing or damaged pieces)
(amount to be assessed, potentially full deposit). - Games are not returned at all
(amount to be assessed, potentially full deposit).
- We receive 4 minor complaints about the condition of your returned games within the last 12 months
-
When do you get it back?
Once your subscription ends and the returned games pass our final quality check, your full deposit will be refunded within 1–3 working days — no questions asked.
Not Sure Which Plan to Choose?
Compare our FLOW and FLEX plans side by side.
Whether you want unlimited swaps with FLOW or full freedom with FLEX, you’ll see exactly what’s included — from pricing to perks.
-
👍💰The Value of EasyMeeple
With EasyMeeple, you can explore dozens of games without paying full store prices for each one. After just a few swaps, the subscription pays for itself compared to buying — and the value keeps growing from there.
-
Let’s Look at an Example
Meet Jan and Emma, a couple from Rotterdam. They chose the FLEX - 1 Year Plan because they like playing at their own pace.
After 10 months, they had swapped their box 4 times, enjoying a total of 5 boxes full of games.
On average, the games in each box are worth between €100 and €120 at store prices — we’ve taken €110 as a fair middle point for this example.
In that time, they spent about €290 and played games worth roughly €550 at store prices.
That’s the equivalent of €29 per month for variety, flexibility, and plenty of game nights — without having to buy and store every game themselves.
Frequently asked questions
FAQs
General Questions
Can I cancel my plan?
No need to cancel, the Plan does not renew automatically. You are in full control.
If you need to return your last box earlier than expected, simply use the 'Request Return Only' page in 'My Actions' area (accessible from the top menu).
Can I extend my plan duration?
You can extend your plan only at the end of the current period. You’ll receive a payment link to extend it, and once paid, your plan continues without interruption. It would be the same plan with the same duration.
Which payment methods can I use?

What languages are the games available in?

About game language, should I refer to the images or to the game specifications?
Always refer to the language selected with the option selector on top of the date picker, even if the images show the game in a different language.

Transparent bags play an important role in how we operate. They make it easier to inspect and count components — both for us and for you — which helps us maintain the quality of every box that goes out.
This small detail allows us to keep the experience smooth while also helping us offer competitive prices.
Whenever possible, we’ll always prioritize using the original bags from the game’s box.
Should I put every item back into its dedicated bag?
Yes, please — and thank you in advance! It’s a small gesture that goes a long way.
Keeping components in their labeled bags helps us (and the next Meeple) check the game quickly and easily. It’s a key part of keeping our process efficient and our prices fair.
