Amazing staff. Very accommodating. A great place to also meet up with friends and play some games. Also a great place to find new and interesting games to play

Play/learn new boardgames on a Saturday or let your kids learn Pokémon from Dan. Such a lovely vibe and so many boardgames to purchase. Lovely energized vibe...... A MUST

Wizards is the perfect place for a board game enthusiast. It has every game you can think of and more, and on the off chance you have a specific game in mind that they dont stock theyll order it for you. The most helpful and knowledgeable staff you could possibly find. They are all very friendly and will give you a better idea of what you are buying than any online review. If you arent even sure board games are for you, give them a visit, theyll find you a game you cant stop playing. 6/5 stars

A much anticipated visit to Wizards ended in disappointment when we found it closed at 16h30 yesterday.

I quickly went in to get some card sleeves for my Magic cards. The gentlemen was extremely helpful and very friendly. Their games and book selection is great but I did not have time to look at their prices. I just did a scan of the place and it looks really good.

There is just something about Wizards that will keep it as my go-to store for all my nerdy needs.I have been going there and meeting with their friendly staff that welcome me like family for some 15 years. Their desire to help you and provide the widest range of occult, gaming and other eclectic products makes them special and near unique within the community.

Great place for boardgames and cards

Review №11

The staff were knowledgable about their products offering personal insight vs Toys R Us where the best you can get is a shop assistant to read the back of the box (like I couldnt do that)

Review №12

I love the staff. But thats probably because Ive been a customer for over 14 years because the atmosphere the store holds is unique. Im not into table top gaming, I play TCGs and what I can tell you is that they always have product for the specific game Im into (that I started playing here way back when begging my father for pocket money was the only way to get new cards). Always a pleasure to visit.

Hands down best boardgame shop Ive been to. Besides a big variety of really nice boardgames, the owner is enthousiastic and knowledgeable about pretty much every game there is and will help you out every which way he can to make sure you leave with a massive smile on your face and one or more boardgames for your collection. I came in wanting maybe one and eventualy came again and scored 3 boardgames that weve been playing for hours already!

An awesome shop and an excellent team with exceptional service. Anyone who is into tabletop gaming should do themselves the favor of going to this shop. If you live too far get a catalogue from them. They are great for ordering tabletop games.

Ive been visiting this store for years and outside of buying online they have a great selection of the latest advanced boardgames in-store.

Review №18

Very good service with knowledge on most items in store. Would have loved to see some items at a great price as many of the items can be bought for less elsewhere. I would however go back there anytime and maybe even pay the premium for the good service and helpfulness!

Wide selection of pokemon and magic cards. Customer service is good and the people in the shop were friendly. The atmosphere in the shop was quiet but also friendly and casual. I would recommend this shop to most people.

There are few enough boardgame stores in Cape Town. With chains trying to compete, Wizards reminds us what personal service and experience can mean to a customer.

Seems as if the place has seen better days. Stock of certain items was missing and acquisition of said items seems to only occur if a minor miracle happens.
