If there's anything better than Zip's Cafe, it's what I found right next door to it. I've mentioned that I'll never be a food blogger, but geekery I can talk about easily. Boardwalk Hobby Shop, where have you been all my life?
As you can see, walls of games. Humina humina.
When you get into geekery of any kind, you quickly learn that the best shops specialize. Some focus on card games or RPGs, others on comics and memorabilia. Boardwalk is a fantastic shop for board games and models (trains, planes, automobiles)-- that's *it,* but it does those two things so well!
And when I say board games, I mean just about anything you can think of. (I should know. I can think of a LOT.) They have an interesting collection of vintage games, so even if you've played every game that's out there, I bet you can find something from before your time to suit your fancy.
I should mention that if anyone in Cincinnati wants to play just about any geek game, I'M IN. My recent favorites are Settlers of Catan, Zombies!!!, Fluxx, Magic: the Gathering, and Carcassonne (a new-to-me game I've heard so much about, and picked up at Boardwalk).
I can't wait to head back to Mt. Lookout to hit up Boardwalk again. Who's with me?!

yes! I love games :) I think I've played Fluxx a couple of times and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the low down on the game shop!
Any time, of course! Swing by when you're in Mt. Lookout!
Dan and I found another awesome game shop that I'll write up soon, probably next week.
Carcassonne = WIN!
