FAQ

Do the games from Asia have English instructions?

Each product will specify whether English instructions are included or not. In either case, English instructions can usually be found on BoardGameGeek which may be directly from the game designer or translated by a community member. In each of our product descriptions, we will specify how english instructions will be included:

  • Inside the Box
  • QR Code (on the box or inside included instructions)
  • Printed Copy By Us (note: we will only provide a print copy if it's from the original designer/publisher)
  • Sorry, no english rules

I've never seen or heard of these games before. Where can I get more information on them?

In terms of video content, we recommend these specific Youtube channels because they focus on games from Asia. 

- Taylor's Trick-taking Table: https://www.youtube.com/@ClaudeAndTaylor
- Cardboard East: https://www.youtube.com/@CardboardEast
- Circat: https://www.youtube.com/@iamcircat

Sometimes, you might be able to find these games on an online board-game simulation platform such as BoardGameArena (BGA), Tabletopia, Tabletop Simulator. Keep in mind these platforms might require a fee to play them.

The more nterest that is shown for these games from Asia, the more likely that the game will find a english-localizing publisher!

If anything, shoot us a message on social media or e-mail us at support@redgoosegames.ca, we'll be happy to talk to you for hours on this XD

I'm looking for a certain game from Asia. Do you have it or can Red GooseGames help me get it?

We are constantly on the lookout for games in Asia as it is our niche and focus. We can definitely try! However, there might be many reasons why it's unavailable.

  • It is going to be published with an english-localizing publisher and the Japanese versions are restricted from being sold in North America.
  • They run out of their print runs and are not continuing. Sometimes games just go out of print to be never heard from again :(

Definitely message us through socials or e-mail if you have any queries about upcoming or rare games and we can try to help.

Does Red Goose Games have a physical storefront?

We currently only have an online presence for now. However, we do plan on being exhibitors/vendors at certain events and conventions in Canada. (We are based in Toronto area) We will definitely have some tables for demo-ing games that we have in our catalog!

Follow us on our socials for the most up to date details on where we might be!

Do you plan on shipping to other countries?

That is something we have not decided yet and is not on our minds currently.
However, if you are looking for these titles and are not from Canada or the US, please feel free to try TravelGamesUK (who ships worldwide) is a friend of mine who helped me start this business here in Canada.

Why only games from Asia?

We really loved the games we discovered on our trips to Japan and want to share that with North America (see About us page for more information). We wanted to highlight and focus on games that board game lovers cannot get easily.

Our first foray into sourcing games was at Asia's biggest board game event, Tokyo Game Market and most of our inventory is from that trip. 

We definitely don't want to exclude board game designers from any region. Since we are a Canadian company, we definitely want to feature and sell Canadian game designers as well. As we grow, we definitely want to feature more games from all around the world.
