Build your first Box
  • Membership and Boxes are separate

    Your Meeple Pass gives you access to the full library and lets you keep games while it is active. Choose 1 to 5 games for each Box. You can request a swap when you are ready; each new Box is paid separately.

    When starting, you also pay a refundable deposit. See all rental costs before ordering.

  • Choose the language version you want

    Browse the game catalogue using the language filter. On each product page, select the Dutch or English version you want to receive and check its availability.

    The selected variant determines the game language; the box photo may show a different edition. For EasyMeeple Picks, choose the language option that suits you.

  • 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.

  • Returning your last Box

    Send your Box and all rented games back within 2 business days after your Meeple Pass ends or is cancelled. This is the deadline to hand the parcel to the carrier, not for it to arrive with us. Reuse the original packaging.

📦 Swap Your Box

Ready for different games? With an active Meeple Pass, choose 1 to 5 games for your next Box and request a swap. Each new Box is paid separately.

Request a Box swap, or review the Box prices first.

→ Back to overview ↑

  • How to request a swap

    Sign in and use Request a Box Swap under For Meeples in the main menu. Follow the steps, choose your games and review the Box payment.

    For home delivery, we send a return label within 24 business hours. Once the carrier scans your returned Box, we dispatch the next one, usually within 1 to 3 business days.

    For the extra Amsterdam pickup option, wait for our ready-to-collect email before bringing your previous Box to exchange it.

  • Just tell us how many games you want

    When swapping, you can choose between 5 different packs depending on how many games you want to receive.

    The smaller Box includes 1 game, the 'bigger' includes 5 games.

  • Want to Choose the Games Yourself?

    You can! Just use the "Add to your Box" feature before submitting your swap request.

    As long as the number of games ‘added to Box’ matches the number in your chosen Box, 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.

  • Swaps near the end of a Yearly Meeple Pass

    For Yearly Meeple Pass members only, we do not dispatch a new Box during the last 10 days of the membership. If you request a swap during that time, we dispatch the next Box after your Pass is renewed or reactivated.

    This cutoff does not apply to Monthly Meeple Pass members.

Amsterdam residents: an extra pickup option

Home delivery across the Netherlands remains our main service. For Amsterdam residents, pickup is a small extra option when it suits you: no need to be home for a delivery.

Order your Box as usual and select pickup at Nandin Erdene Atelier & Store at checkout. We bring your Box to the partner and email you when it is ready. Please wait for that email before visiting and have your order confirmation ready.

For a pickup swap, order your next Box and select pickup. Once it is ready, bring your previous Box with all the games and collect your next Box in one trip. Follow the usual Meeple Care Process and reuse the original packaging.

You can also bring back your Box here without requesting a swap. Use the return-only form or email info@easymeeple.com first and tell us you will return it at the Amsterdam partner. The usual return deadlines and game checks still apply.

🔎 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.

→ Back to Overview ↑

  • 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.

    And yes — we still do our part.

    We perform full quality checks on every game after it has been swapped 5 times, making sure it remains up to our standards.

  • 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.

  • 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.

→ Back to Overview ↑

  • 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 components (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:

    1. Quick and easy game setup — get to playing the game faster.
    2. Simplified learning — visual guides help you skip the rulebook.
    3. Fast and reliable quality control — for us and for you.
    4. 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.
Refundable Deposit - EasyMeeple

💰 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 hide it in the price you pay.

To keep EasyMeeple affordable and transparent, we’ve introduced a Refundable Deposit.

→ Back to Overview ↑

  • 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).
  • When do you get it back?

    After your Pass ends and all rented games have been returned and passed the final quality check, the refundable balance is returned within 1–3 business days, subject to the deposit conditions. If a deduction applies, we explain it and provide an invoice.

  • An annual Pass at € 89,90 and three-game Boxes at € 32,90. The first Box receives the 50% offer, subject to eligibility.
  • € 35,00 per purchased game is an illustrative assumption, not a verified retail basket or a claim about every EasyMeeple game.
  • This compares rental spending with purchase spending; rented games are returned. Different Box frequencies and game prices change the result.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs

General Questions

What do I pay to rent board games?

Your Meeple Pass membership, each Box and the refundable deposit are separate parts of the cost. Choose 1 to 5 games per Box. The Monthly Pass renews each month until cancelled; the Yearly Pass is paid upfront for 12 months and does not renew automatically.

Check current membership, Box and deposit costs and review the full order total before paying.

How do I cancel my Meeple Pass?

To cancel your Monthly Meeple Pass:

  1. Make sure you are logged in to EasyMeeple.
  2. Open My Profile / Your account.
  3. Go to My subscription and select your Monthly Meeple Pass.
  4. Choose Cancel and follow the confirmation steps.

Alternatively, email info@easymeeple.com and ask us to cancel your Monthly Meeple Pass for you.

You can also submit Request a Return Label Only. When you submit that request, our team will cancel your Meeple Pass for you and arrange the return. You do not need to cancel it separately as well.

The Yearly Meeple Pass does not renew automatically. If you want to return your games early and end your Pass, use the return-only request.

Send your Box and all games back within 2 business days after your Pass ends or is cancelled.

Can I extend my Meeple Pass duration?

The Monthly Meeple Pass renews automatically until cancelled. The Yearly Meeple Pass does not renew automatically; use the renewal link sent to you if you want another year. Contact info@easymeeple.com before your Pass ends if you need help continuing.

Which payment methods can I use?

iDEAL is available for the Yearly Meeple Pass, but not for the monthly subscription. The payment methods available for your order are shown at checkout. Check your chosen Pass and billing frequency before paying.

Can I renew my Meeple Pass and switch to a different duration?

If you want to change between monthly and yearly membership, contact info@easymeeple.com before your current Pass ends. We can help you arrange the change and check your existing deposit. Do not start a second subscription or pay another deposit without checking first.

What languages are the games available in?

Language versions vary by game. Use the catalogue language filter, then select the language variant on the product page and check its availability. With EasyMeeple Picks, choose the language option you want.

About game language, should I refer to the images or to the game specifications?

Use the language variant selected on the product page. The photos may show another edition. If you select Dutch, your chosen variant is the Dutch edition, even if the photo shows an English box.

Can I buy the games that I rented?

No, as of today we do not offer this service.

Can I request a specific game for the collection?

Yes—we’d love your suggestions. Email info@easymeeple.com with the game title (and, if relevant, edition/language).
We can’t promise availability or timing, but we review every request as we grow the library.

Can I receive the same game twice?

No, normally you won’t receive the same game twice. Stock levels and timing are factors, but by default we make sure each box brings you new games to enjoy.

Can I share the list of games I already own?

Yes! You have a dedicated section in your profile to add the games you already own, so we can avoid sending duplicates.

Can I share the games we enjoy most and our preferences?

Absolutely. We take game selection very seriously, and we’d love to know more about what you like. You can share your favorite types of games, your preferences, and any other details that help us choose the right games for your box.

Delivery & Return

When can I expect my games to be delivered?

Home delivery usually takes 1–3 business days.
For new plans, this is counted from activation.
For Box swaps, it starts once your returned Box is scanned by the logistics provider.

For the extra Amsterdam pickup option, we email you when your Box is ready to collect. Please wait for that email before visiting.

Should I keep the packaging material (box and fillers)?

Yes — please keep the original packaging and use it again for your return. Open it carefully to avoid damaging the box, and to make sure the games inside stay safe.

How do I return the games?

For home delivery swaps, we send you a return label. Attach it to your package and drop it off at the indicated carrier point.

For an Amsterdam pickup swap, bring your previous Box when collecting your next Box. You can also return your Box at the Amsterdam partner without a swap; submit the return-only form first and tell us you will return it there. Follow the usual Meeple Care Process and reuse the original packaging.

Where can I track my delivery?

You can track your delivery using the tracking link we send by email. If there are still issues, contact us at info@easymeeple.com and we’ll follow up directly with the logistics provider.

Can I return the package earlier than the Meeple Pass end date?

Yes. Use Request a Return Label Only to arrange an early return without a new Box. Submitting this request also asks our team to cancel your Meeple Pass for you. You do not need to cancel it separately as well.

Reuse the original packaging and send all games back within 2 business days after your Pass ends or is cancelled.

After your Pass ends and all games pass the final quality check, the refundable deposit balance is returned within 1–3 business days, subject to the deposit conditions.

When must I send my games back?

Hand your Box with all rented games to the carrier within 2 business days after your Meeple Pass ends or is cancelled. The parcel does not need to arrive with us within those 2 business days. Use the supplied return instructions and original packaging.

Refundable Deposit

Why the 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 transferred to you. It helps us keeping our prices as convenient as possible.

Is the refundable deposit required for activating a plan?

Yes. Pay the refundable deposit when starting your membership. Your held deposit covers normal Box swaps, so you do not add another deposit to each swap. See the current deposit amount and rental costs.

When will I get my refundable deposit back?

Your deposit is refunded within 1–3 business days from the moment the final quality check is completed, after your plan ends.
If part of it is deducted due to issues, we’ll send you an invoice for the deducted amount and refund the rest as per the standard process.

How much deposit will be taken if I damage or lose an item?

We’ll only retain the deposit in the rare cases where:

  • 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).

What do you check during the quality inspection?

We will look for general state, missing pieces, cleanliness.
We need to make sure you treated the game with the care and respect they rightfully deserve.

What happens if part (or all) of my deposit is deducted?

If the deposit-deduction criteria are met, we explain the reason and send you an invoice for the amount. After your Pass ends and the returned games pass the final quality check, the refundable balance is returned under the deposit conditions.

For questions about an invoice or your deposit balance, email info@easymeeple.com.

Quality Control & Meeple Care Process

What is the Meeple Care Process?

It’s our community-driven quality control. Instead of counting pieces upfront, you simply report issues when you notice them.
This helps us keep games in good shape while keeping subscription prices low.

What happens if a game has missing pieces or damaged?

If you notice a missing or damaged component while playing or packing up, use Report a Problem under For Meeples in the main menu. Include a description and photos where possible. We assess the issue and help with a suitable solution.

Do I need to control all pieces every time I play?

You don’t need to count everything upfront— just report when you notice.

Read more about how to take care of our games in the Meeple Care Process guidelines.

I damaged or lost an item, what should I do?

Let us know as soon as possible through Report a Problem, with a description and photos where possible. Reporting promptly helps us assess what happened and reduce disruption for the next renter. Any deposit assessment follows the deposit conditions.

Why are all the components stored in separate bags?

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.

What do you check during the quality inspection?

We will look for general state, missing pieces, cleanliness.
We need to make sure you treated the game with the care and respect they rightfully deserve.

How are games prepared?

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.
