Hi everyone!
I told you all in the last customer update that I’d give you about a week’s notice before GMT’s Yearly Sale, so here it is! I wanted to let you all know roughly a week in advance so that you have time to plan your purchases. Here are the details of the sale:
SALE FOR P500 CUSTOMERS!! This sale is our “thank you” to all of you customers who use our P500 system. By using our P500 system, you help us have plenty of cash flow to keep printing our games while also letting us know which games you want the most. This sale is for P500 supporters who have had P500 items shipped from August 2021 (when we had our last sale) until the end of October 2022. We greatly appreciate your support, and this sale is our way of saying, “Thanks!” So, if you’ve received P500 items from us between August 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022, you will get 50% off in-stock GMT games and accessories (as well as games from SOME of our third-party vendors—see the list below for details).
Euro Friendly Shipping! Our friends at Second Chance Games and UGG have agreed to handle our UK and EU orders in the same manner they do for our P500 orders! This means that those of you in Europe WILL be able to get your sales items shipped out at a lower price that includes shipping, VAT, and fees. Just be sure to choose the “Euro-friendly” shipping option (which includes us pre-paying VAT) when you place your order (this is crucial—if you don’t choose the Euro-friendly method, the games will ship out individually at regular (higher) shipping prices, and you’ll have to pay VAT and possibly fees).
I want to say a special thanks to our friends at Second Chance Games and UGG for making it possible for us to provide these savings to our European customers!

Sale Quantity Limit: For each game that was delivered to you via our P500 program since August 1, 2021, you can order one in-stock item at 50% off. The only upper limit to how many games you can order is the number of games you received via P500 during that period.Example: If you received only one game via P500 between August 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022, you are eligible to order ONE in-stock item at 50% off in this sale. If you received 10 P500 games in that August 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022, window, you would be eligible to order up to 10 items in this sale.
Which items you can buy at 50% off Sale Price:
1. Any In-Stock GMT Game EXCEPT the two new P500 games that just started shipping this week (CHARIOTEER and SKIES ABOVE BRITAIN).
2. Any game, magazine, or accessory from any of our third-party vendors EXCEPT for Hexasim and Vae Victis/Cerrigo products.
3. You can also purchase Accessories as one of your “items”—Mounted Maps, Card Decks, or Miscellaneous Parts—if you run out of games you want to get at a discount. Note: We’ve done quite a few really nice Mounted Maps for a variety of games over the past few years. All of these that are still in stock are eligible for the sale. Here’s your chance to get some nice mounted maps at half price!
4. All Items on our Specials Page. Please remember that you absolutely CAN use the games on the Specials Page as part of these 50% off orders if you wish. These items are AMAZING values because you get to use your 50% off the already great “On Sale For” prices on this page! So check out the Specials Page and get some great deals!
While They Last: These sale prices last for each offered game until it is sold out or until the sale ends on November 21, 2021, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. We expect numerous games to sell out during the sale. When you try to add a game to your cart and get a message that the order exceeds quantity remaining in stock, it’s sold out. Please choose other games. We’ll do our best to update these with sold out notifications on their thumbnails and by moving them out of the in-stock category as quickly as possible during the sale to avoid confusion.
How to Get the Sale Price: Go to our website and prepare your order from eligible games (see above, in “Items you can buy at 50% off Sale Price”). Then, when you checkout, use the following code to get 50% off per item: GMTSale2022
NOTE: Please DO NOT combine Sale items on the same order as a P500 order. This makes it much more difficult for our office and warehouse folks to process.
Please Remember:
- The sale begins on Tuesday, November 15th at 5:00 am Pacific Time and runs through 11:59 pm Pacific Time on November 21st.
- Use discount code GMTSale2022 when you checkout with your sale orders in order to get the 50% discount.
- Please DO NOT combine Sale and new P500 order items on one order. THANKS!
- Feel free to use your shopping cart on our website between now and the start of the sale to build your sale order list. Then you’ll be able to order quickly once the sale begins next Tuesday.
Enjoy the games!
