About GYGOL…
About Sarah Atherton
Hello! I’m Get Your Game On Ltd.
I’m a games enthusiast, reviewer and small independent retailer!
Born and bred in London, I’ve done lots of different things in my life including a first career as a drama and psychology teacher in London schools, working in Whitehall, investigating complaints and being a mum!
At the moment I’m working as the manager of Freshwater Theatre Company and running GYGOL!
Get Your Game On Ltd is my first small business. It’s a labour of love, a new challenge, a massive learning experience but I feel passionate about it and I love being part of the board gaming community which is often welcoming, supportive and caring.
Games without frontiers…right? I’m all about including, sharing and inviting everyone to take part…and I want to bring games and the joy of playing them to everyone. You are never too old or too young to learn the rules, pull up a chair and have fun.
I game, you game, we all game! The games I sell can be played alone, in pairs, in groups, at home, on the move, on special occasions or just for the fun of it!
And when I’m not getting my game on, I’m working alongside my other half, bringing up my daughter and supporting my local community - it’s all about shop local, support the high street and champion the small business in our house.
And talking of small…this is small me at my first proper birthday party…feeling excited and about to play party games…I stock some great party games…including by Big Potato and Stuff by Bez!
About you

About GYGOL
I can help find you a game and you can support a small independent business, you can tell me what you would like me to stock and I can find it for you, you can ask me where to start and what on earth you should be playing when faced with so much choice these days and I can select some games that would be perfect for you to play?
C’mon let’s get our game on!
GYGOL trades on the first Sunday of the month at Myddleton Road Market, London, N22 and at a variety of other markets and events including Duck Pond Markets including in Ruislip, Harrow and Highgate. GYGOL also trades at one day events across London, at festivals and at summer and Christmas fetes.
We loved EXIT: The Deserted Lighthouse which we bought from GYGOL at Myddleton Road Market. We will be back at the market next time when we will be picking up another game for sure!

“This is a great website, with a good selection of interesting games for children and adults. I like the mix of competitive and co-operative games. The descriptions and reviews of the games are particularly helpful to enable you to make an appropriate choice. The website is clear and easy to navigate. I chose some excellent games which arrived very promptly and in perfect condition. I am recommending this to my friends.”
