Visited here during my stay in Durham for work training. This place surprised me with the number of board game options they have! I saw games I'd never even heard of before! Huge board game selection with quality games. Everything from heavy Euros to simple dice games; this place has it all!

★★★★★ Kristen, Aug 2023

Never knew this place existed and now that I do, all I can do is think of going back. I think this is a perfect model for the current day comic games and collectible shops I have been to many and few have reached let alone achieved the standard set by shops like Atomic Empire.

★★★★★ Joshua, Mar 2026

Huge variety, lots of space, nothing but friendly and helpful staff. They know their focuses and hone in to give a diverse and large experience both as you walk in and walk around from collated isle to collated isle.
