Game stores

Looking to buy boardgames? Check your local stores first! In Austin, I know of 3 independent game stores where you can buy German style boardgames, etc.

• Dragon's Lair sells games and comics. Austin Boardgame Group meets here to play many weekends.
• Great Hall Games just opened in Dobie Mall and sells boardgames, miniatures, and traditional games (go, chess, cards, etc.) They host several gaming nights!
• King's Hobby sells games, model railroad stuff, etc.

Of course there are online game sellers too, e.g.:

Boulder Games also sells games online and has a newsletter at their site.

Funagain Games sells games online and has reviews, interviews, links.

Kenzer & Co publishes games and more importantly the wonderful Knights of the Dinner Table comic books!
