... Axis and Alliex Zombies- Its 1941, and the world is at war. The Axis war machine is crushing everything in its path, while the Allies are rallying together to mount a heroic stand. And then zombies show up.
Chronicles of Crime- is a cooperative game of criminal investigation mixing board game, an app and a touch of Virtual Reality. You and your team will be put on crime cases, moving all around town, interviewing suspects or witnesses, and searching for clues in 3D scenes! The base game comes with 6 scenarios (1 tutorial + 5 investigations) for a total of 6 to 8 hours of gameplay. More scenarios will be released later!
Star Wars: Legion Imperial and Rebel Expansions are finally here!
The E-Web Heavy Blaster Team Unit Expansion expands the possibilities for your games of Star Wars: Legion with an unpainted, easily assembled E-Web Heavy Blaster Team miniature that you can field as a support unit.

Nyctophobia- Welcome to the experiential table top game that is going to redefine what it means to play a game. Nyctophobia, which means “fear of the dark”, is a cooperative game of survival in which up to four players must work together to escape a maniacal predator chasing them in a pitch-black forest. But there’s a wrinkle: Would-be survivors play the game with blackout glasses. Players cannot see the board and have to rely on touch to navigate their way to safety. So, are you afraid of the dark?

Pack Wars is dead simple to play. Just buy a booster pack (from any set,) shuffle in a bit of land without looking at your cards (we can lend you a bit of land if you don't have any) and play it like a 30 card deck. We'll be here all day so pop in any time to join in.

in love with this place. Absolutley Amazing

We went in to buy a Pokémon Booster Box and some card sleeves. You are instantly met with genuinely kind staff. The chap that served us, possibly the manager, comes across as a very kind and knowledgable person and helped as best as he could. We spent a fair amount of money in one hit and although the store was unable to price match we were given a load of free cards for our decks. The products we did buy are brilliant, we are now in undated with cards lol. We will definitely be going back, I'm just waiting for them to open today! :)

Was fortunate enough to meet Dave who helped me get everything I needed for my daughter and I. Great shop. Thanks Dave.

Very helpful and friendly would recommend to any one :)

Really enjoy going in to the store and having a bit of a chat, watching (and hope to eventually play) the games. overall a great environment!

Literally walked past it today as they were closing, and they were kind enough to let me in. Such a lovely place, came away with a Aquila Stronghold. I would like to go there again, but spend a bit more time in there as we were on route to a restaurant.

I'm a regular visitor to this shop. They've got a great selection of games, miniatures and accessories, and frequently run events where you can just turn up and play.

I am so glad that this shop exists in Northampton. The staff are informative and approachable. It boasts a great range of board games (which is my main interest). I'm looking forward to shopping here for many times to come...especially with the Cthulhu related releases!

Helpful. Well stocked and open and inclusive to all ages.

Great place to choose your next game or even just to get some advice. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and willing to help you learn your new game.



They run regular events for various games along with Friday Night Magic (on a Friday, no less) and there is a store discount if you spend enough.



There is also public parking just along the road that is currently free on the weekend or for up to two hours in the week.

Great place for FNM. Only started a few weeks ago and everyone is so helpful for beginners.

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and only place in Northampton to get decent board games at decent prices.

Also Friday Night Magic there is great too! Highly recommended! :D

Great atmosphere, kid friendly and professional service.

Great atmosphere, good selection of games, I appreciate the expert and patient advice and the chance to play games not seen before purchasing.

Game in to have a look at some board games. Must say a great selection of games, not only that but the member of staff who helped me was very friendly and knowledgeable. Left with epic spell wars the game i came in for as well as adding a few more to my to buy list, was so happy i have recommended to some friends who made purchases and were just as impressed as i was.

Friendly staff, good stock and an excellent space for gaming. Win.

Board game newbie - Wonderful service as I went in asking "for a game" and they must have hundreds - Ended up buying 3 with 10% off for orders above £50 - Already love Saboteur and Munchkin - Must find some time to pay Mysterium (big fans of Cluedo and Dixit so this one has the most anticipation behind it). Would recomend to anyone who fancies getting into the world of "grown up" board games.

As a board gamer this is the best place to get a wide selection of board games in town. Its either that or get them online. Which can be unreliable. They will also order in games if they do not have them in stock. Competetive prices. As well as a friendly attitude. These guys are really into, and know their games. So if i am stuck for choice they can give me some sage advice. And there is of course their whole array of wargames merchandise. So much so that it occasionally makes me want to play. And i am not a wargamer by any standard.

5?! these guys deserve a 10!

Thanks to all of you.

Always willing to accommodate people and always expanding their games collection!
