The House of War reviews
44Great for tabletop wargames (books, miniatures, paint, etc.). Small but good selection of more general boardgames
Looking for some gifts and the staff were very helpful. Took the time to discuss options and help me find what I needed. Enjoyed their range of miniatures and painting supplies despite them been fewer than normal due to a renovation.
You do pay full retail price, but you get more than compensated in service and sometimes save money by being directed away from things that wouldn't meet your criteria. They also provide a lot of community activities, although these have been on pause during Covid, but should start again in the new year.
This was the best gaming venue hands down, until the owners decided to sack the employees that made the place what it was for some terrible reasons that have been shared with me but I will not make public. The employees that were sacked were what made the place, and the owners put profit over people.
Huge range of miniatures and paints! Found the models we needed from a different gaming format which was handy and they are really nice models
Great place for table top supplies and board games. Regular tournaments held fpr all types of games, spaces for hire for matches with your mates, and a very cool DnD room.
Good place to game. Plenty of stock for some systems and lots of space to play. Needs cleaning, some terrain management upstairs and some more consideration in their pricing.
Nice enough store, but gets VERY VERY noisy when card game players are playing (they like to yell a lot which the staff seem to ignore) : (
Great games store, offers both tabletop wargaming fir prices cheaper than anywhere else I've seen and also offers board games, card games and table hire.
Incredibly helpful and knowledgable staff, happy to order things in for you if they don't have them in stock
Had a great time getting out for some 40k Warhammer for the first time! Entry is 5$ per person for the full day which is super reasonable, you can also bring your own food or purchase it from the Maccas over the road.
Excellent experience.
Such a great atmosphere in this place for playing pretty much any sort of card, board, or tabletop game.
Fantastic knowledgable crew covering all table top gaming. Huge range and accessable hours. Lots of gaming space too!
Great store! We come here for all our D&D needs. The staff are fantastic, in particular Alan who is always extremely helpful and enthusiastic. Do recommend!
Great service, we were very new at the whole miniature thing and the staff were very informative and helpful, showing us what we actually needed, not just for them to turn a profit.
Just great people catering for the community and a specific interest which is far more common than others think. They have everything there.
Place has a great range and great community. People are alway happy for games and has thriving groups for games such as Magic, X-wing, Bolt action, Warhammer 40k, Age of sigmar, and Infinity
Super friendly, great environment with really welcoming atmosphere. Plenty of free games and tables for all
Great people, great store. Offers supplies for multiple different games and hobbies, including the big ones like Warhammer. Staff are very friendly and welcoming to newbies like me. Plenty of tables to play card games or boardgames, spaces to play wargames, and private rooms for Dungeons and dragons or other kinds of games with friends.
If I post a bad review hundreds may roll a few dice as a retribution strike against me! Great establishment both shop and gaming (battle) area!
This gamers den is a great place to go to enjoy a group session of D&D or whatever game is your groups preference in similar genres. Place is licensed to sell alcohol and has a good selection of models and books. The staff are friendly, plus it has private and open rooms for group play. For easy parking just go directly across the road in Target Squares car park
