What Fungames does

Fungames is a privately held French specialty retailer of board games, trading card games (TCGs), miniature wargames, and hobby accessories, headquartered at a single physical store in Lampertheim (Alsace, France) with 17 employees.

The assortment is supported by a second-hand "occasion" space with over 2,000 used titles and a pre-order service for upcoming releases.

The business operates a hybrid retail-plus-e-commerce model, with revenue generated primarily through one-time product sales (new and pre-owned) and supplemented by ancillary services including children's birthday parties (€80 for a 2-hour session for up to 8 children) and pre-order reservations. Pricing on board games ranges roughly from €5 to €260 depending on edition and complexity, with promotional discounting up to 80% during seasonal sales. Distribution is fulfilled through free in-store pickup, Colissimo home delivery (France, 72-hour SLA), and Mondial Relay parcel-shop delivery across France and selected European countries (Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Italy).

Customer segments are diversified across four consumer personas: families with children, TCG enthusiasts, miniature wargaming hobbyists, and board game hobbyists. Marketing is conducted through website banners, email newsletter, and organic social. Fungames is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, management team, funding history, or financial metrics; ownership is described as independent and locally owned.
