Before they were Allplay, they were boardgametables.com. While they did sell tables, they also sold many other gaming products and accessories.

We chose this name precisely because of its wide usage within board games and familiarity amongst novice and experienced gamers. The name directly contrasts many of Allplay’s competitors, who often use niche terminology and branding that mainly appeals to a specific audience. As described by the Allplay team, “We want to move away from the bearded guy in his basement stereotype”
