Board Games Care Guide
Warning: Our board games are not suitable for children under 3 years old. They include small pieces which could present a choking hazard, adult supervision is required. Do not leave children unsupervised with the drawstring cotton bag, this is not a toy and could pose a safety risk.
Wooden Pieces & Counters
Our marble board games contain small wooden counters, pieces and dice, which could present a choking hazard if swallowed.
The wooden game pieces can be cleaned and dusted with a soft dry cloth, and stored in their cotton bag when not in use. More detailed game pieces (e.g. Chess pieces) can be brushed with a soft bristle brush to help remove dust from small crevices.
If you are leaving your board game out as a beautiful display piece, it may require more regular dusting.
Marble Game Boards
Marble is a heavy natural stone, and if dropped could cause injury. Take care when moving the game board, using two hands to safely support the weight of the product.
Marble is a durable stone but if dropped could break. A broken game board may have sharp edges, take care to dispose of a broken board safely. If a heavy object is dropped onto the board it is likely to cause it to break.
In the rare occurrence that the cork backing breaks away from the game board, please dispose of any loose pieces as these may present a choking hazard.
Our marble board games are presented in an eco-friendly cotton bag. If you decide to keep your board game out on display in your home, the drawstring bag can be reused for storing toiletries, shoes, toys and more!
Multipurpose Uses
Once the game has ended and the winner is celebrating their victory, clear the wooden pieces and use the marble board as a cheeseboard, trivet, serving platter, or decorative display piece on your coffee table.
If you intend to use your marble game board as a serving platter or trivet, please see the care instructions below:
Heat Resistant
Our marble game boards are heat resistant up to 90°C, and are suitable for use as a trivet to place your hot pans onto. If the pan has food stains or oils on the base of the pan this can leave staining on your platter if this is not immediately cleaned. We recommend that the base of the pan is clean and dry before coming into contact with the marble.
Food Safe
The sealant that we use to finish our marble products is certified food-safe for cold snacks.
If you are using the game board for food display purposes, we recommend placing the food onto greaseproof paper, a doily, or similar in order to protect the surface.
We recommend avoiding prolonged contact with highly acidic foods (such as sliced tomatoes or citrus fruits), as the acidity can affect the finish.
Cleaning & Care
We recommend that you clean the game board before placing any food items on it.
Our marble products are not dishwasher or microwave safe, and cannot be soaked in water for long periods of time due to their cork backing.
The surface of the game board can be cleaned using a sponge with dish soap and warm water, or an antibacterial spray and soft cloth.
The marble game boards are not suitable to use in the microwave.
We do not recommend that you use our game boards as a chopping board.
Our marble platters are not stain-proof, so heavy-staining food and drink such as beetroot, turmeric, coffee, red wine, and tomato-based sauces may stain. We recommend cleaning any spillages immediately as this usually prevents staining.
