SHORT-TERM RENTAL HOSTS
Your guests are asking what there is to do tonight.
It's 8:40 on a Saturday, it has been raining since three, and the text comes in: is there anything to do around here at night? The honest answer most weekends is not much. We can be the other answer — a stack of good games delivered to the door of wherever they're staying.
WHAT THIS IS
It's the takeaway-menu drawer, not a contract.
You have probably got the shelf every rental has: three paperbacks somebody left behind, a jigsaw missing four pieces, and a deck of cards with the seven of clubs gone. It is fine. Nobody has ever written a review about it.
This works the way the takeaway menus in the kitchen drawer work. You tell your guests we exist — a line in the welcome binder, a sentence in the check-in message, a card by the coffee. They pick what they want off the list, ask us for it, and we drive it over. Same as pointing them at the good breakfast place two towns away.
BEING STRAIGHT
Nothing changes hands.
There is no commission, no referral credit, and no code with your name on it. We are not going to dress this up as a deal to make it sound better than it is.
What you get is a guest who had a good night in your house instead of four people on their phones in separate rooms — and who tends to mention it in the review. That is the whole of it, and it is worth a great deal more to you than a cut of one night's rental would be.
PLACES WE RECOMMEND BACK
The Lakeside Suite
(opens in new tab) Steve and Arica Richter do exactly this at their own place — a guest suite in Newburgh they rent out on Airbnb. Our flyer sits by the coffee, and they've told their own followers about us too. No invoice either way.
- A guest suite at their own home
- Newburgh, NY
- Keeps our flyer out for every guest
- Board game night welcome
FOUR STEPS
How it goes
-
You mention us
A line in the welcome binder or the check-in message is enough. Ask and we will send you something you can print, with a code your guests can scan straight through to the games that work best in a rental.
-
They pick
Every game on the list carries what the box says — how many people, how long it runs, the age on the lid — plus a note from us wherever playing it taught us something the lid does not mention.
-
They ask us for it
It is a request, not an instant booking. We check the copy is actually free and write back to confirm, or put them on the waitlist for it.
-
We bring it to them
Delivered to the door of the property, inside our radius, and collected again by appointment. You do not need to be there and nothing lives in your closet.
NO CATCH
What we don't ask you for
-
No stock in your closet
The games do not live at your property. They arrive for the guests who asked for them and they leave again, so there is nothing for you to store, count or replace.
-
Nothing to sign
No account, no agreement between us, no revenue split — there is no money moving between us to split.
-
Nothing to change in your listing
Add a line if you want to. Plenty of hosts just say it at check-in and leave the listing alone.
-
Nobody in your house
We are not setting anything up or hanging around. We hand over games at the door and go.
ONE LIMIT
It has to be inside the radius.
Deliveries run on the family EV, charged at home, which is exactly why the range is tight and why it is worth doing for a single game. If your place is on the edge of it, ask — we will tell you straight away rather than string you along. Where we deliver has the towns.
The plain description of this, alongside everything else we do, is on What We Do.
Want something to put in the binder?
Tell us where your place is and we'll check it's inside the range, then send you a card you can print. If you'd rather your guests just asked us directly, that works too.
