Onitama was the game that kicked off my girlfriend's and mine board game addiction. We played it last year while on a holiday in Cyprus. There was an Englishman there who owns a board gaming hobby store where he doesn't sell games but instead you pay a small price of 2€ to play as much as you want, and they sell snacks and drinks. They don't live there and they only open the shop seasonally when they themselves are on holiday. I asked the owner for an entry level dueling game and Onitama was the one he recommended and taught us in a few minutes, it was very fun and a nice story to tell.

[@TimChuon]

that's it-im totally sold on this now! the next time i see this game in store, i'm definitely getting it! thanks so much for sharing-such a whole story

[@johnjo763]

Orc! I live in London and if you go at weekends, it can be super busy cause it's not a paritcularly big space so you're trying to work around people, it gets a little uncomfortable. But agree that the layout by theme is super cool and they generally have great stock

[@TheDneaves]

Thanks for this video, I shall visit the shop sometime.

[@pkapera]

Onitama is amazeballs. I really like the Way of Wind expansion, but the base game is awesome on its own. You can set it up and learn it in a few minutes, and it plays in no time at all. Really fun spin on chess-style play.

[@TimChuon]

i'm really really leaning towards this! was at a board game cafe today and saw 2 tables playing onitama actually! thanks for the tip on the expansion!

[@nuffDREW4two]

ORC-tastic! Always cool to see other stores. Thanks for sharing.

[@TimChuon]

thank you for watching!!

[@simonsuarez7561]

Awesome! I visited London by the end of last year and if I knew about this store I would have stoped by without a doubt! In fact I visited the British Museum and I see that this store was not that far from it.. :( Next time I will. Thank you for this series of videos, cheers!

[@TimChuon]

so happy you did get to visit the museum though-i'm adding that on the list to visit next time im in the UK! It's a small but really cool shop with lots of games~ i hope you get a chance to visit next time!

[@simonmtkwong]

Great choice on Kiri-Ai - best micro game in years.

[@ThatJaymsWisdom]

Oh hey! Orc's Nest is dope. Great little place to find games.

[@TimChuon]

1000% agreed! thank you so much for watching!

[@Crimsonboardgames]

Love Orc's Nest!! I always visit when I'm in London

[@TimChuon]

no way! they were SUPER busy when i walked in, that's awesome

[@Crimsonboardgames]

@@TimChuon Yeah it's always very busy and it's not very big so it does get crowded easily!!

[@anthonywaggett9317]

I didn't realise Orc's Nest was still around, first place I came across Monsterpocalypse (the original release) and never stopped kicking myself for not buying it - this would have been about 2009 as they had the expansions. Glad you reminded me it is still there as I'm off to London next week.

[@TimChuon]

oh no way! yeah it's a smaller shop, but definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Monsterpocalypse minis are unreal 🤣

[@flavflav7792]

They have their full shelf of Oink games too!

[@TimChuon]

OHH i've only played one oink game so far, but definitely will be collecting more small boxed games!

[@MajiinPaulo]

Hello, if you ever go to Portugal please you have to visit the store Gameplay, it's the best boardgame store in Portugal

[@TimChuon]

just looked it up and it's huge! the selection looks amazing!

[@ddiaz28]

ORC. Ooh this game store I've actually been to. I was there last August. Very tight to move around since it's pretty small although you can't really tell from the video. Revive is great. Played it last year. Definitely worth a try.

[@TimChuon]

yes so true! there were actually a ton of people in store and they were so kind ( i didn't realize it until later) to wait to look at the games until we finished filming 😭 definitely will look into revive down the line, thanks for the tip!

[@imchaotix5450]

I love history l, what’s a solid game that doesn’t take 6 hours plus to play? Anyone?

[@daem0nfaust]

Tim, the tabletop tourist (yeah, it kinda sounds weird haha)

[@TimChuon]

HAHA i like the alliteration! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ChewieHuey]

[@JonTripp115]

If you post videos like this, that means you can write the whole trip off on your taxes next year, right? Total ORC move.
