Board game store seoul

However, I have only visited during the week, so I will have to check out the atmosphere during the weekend, once Covid blows over. But with that, the store is pretty spacious and clean. Also, the merchandise is well organized, and any accessories you are looking for are easy to find. Also, compared to other shops, each time I have visited they have been able to assist me in finding a strange card I am looking for. Furthermore, their selection of cards difficult to get in Korea seems to be larger than other stores as well.

This shop seems to specialize in Magic the Gathering, but they provide Pokemon cards as well. I cannot recall well, but I do not think they stock Yugioh cards. Lastly, this shop has a convenient website where you can order single cards, packs, accessories, etc.

However, I do recall it being a bit crazy. On the weekends it is packed with players of all sorts, mostly all playing MTG. Perhaps there is the odd group there playing some tabletop games, which they also provide, but this seems like an MTG focused shop. Both English and Korean MTG cards are sold here, and the employees were nice enough to help me out with finding some things I was looking for. Hobbyholic is a bit similar to Rolling Dice I would say with groups of people playing cards, and a similar layout.

Here the main game seems to be Yugioh, with some pokemon cards also being sold. The single card selection seems to be pretty good, as each time I could find what I requested, but my main gripe with the store is that it is really difficult to look around for things. And generally, the employees seem pretty busy, so it can be a pain to ask them to show you where they hide their card sleeves.

Duel Park in Isu is a nice little basement shop that is probably one of the friendliest shops that I have been in. I will have to return to give a more detailed review. Last on the list is Dalmuti in Gyodae. The store itself is behind the Seobu Intercity Bus terminal. There is a branching street from the main road that you can follow which runs behind the terminal. Mind that there is a basement area but this appears to be mostly for storage and stock for the online store.

You want to actually enter the building and go to the fourth floor to get to the physical store. I have to say the selection is impressive carrying both classics and the Board Game Geek hotness.

If wanting to just stop by, you might find the store closed. BoardM is a must stop if checking out game stores while visiting Seoul. You must be logged in to post a comment.

One of the questions I get most often from foreigners who are hobby gamers living in Korea — well, actually I get it from Korean people too — is where I buy board games.

I always thought it would be nice to have the board game shops listed in one post. So here I go. Oh, the list is going to be biased by the way. In Korea, there are a couple of board game online shops, but if you ask any Korean board gamer, he or she would agree that there are four main ones.

My favourite one. The shop is in the first basement level in the building. Price tends to be a wee bit more expensive than BoardPia and Divedice, but a nice shop nonetheless. Great customer services. Extremely fast to stock the hottest and newest games.

Price tends to be slightly more expensive.
