Fiona Dickinson

Fiona's love of tabletop gaming began as a search for a hobby that she and her wife Amy could enjoy together and use to become more sociable. 15 years later, and not only has tabletop gaming been a connection to a network of friends and like-minded people around the UK, it also spawned a (now retired) board game blog, and eventually became the idea of a business - Tabletop Rescue. Tabletop Rescue grew from Fiona's love of bargain hunting at UK charity shops and car boot sales into a pre-owned tabletop games business that is now the number one seller of pre-owned board games on Ebay UK. Still a board gamer at heart, the business has led her to a new-found appreciation of TTRPGs, Warhammer and Magic the Gathering too.
