Visiting a Board Game Store in Spain!

We're in Barcelona, Spain and visiting a board game store called Zacatrus! This store was in the area where we happened to be walking by, and I just had to stop in! There were lots of fun titles to explore, and they were even unboxing a brand new game as we were shopping around~

In Spain we are WAY behind other european countries and USA when we're talking about board games. Zacatrus is huge, if you go to any other city in Spain you'll be lucky if you find a shop and then they're probably selling all the mainstream games. Thats why I import most of my games.

[@TimChuon]

thank you so much for the insight! hoping the mainstream games show up more worldwide~ just wish it was easier for everyone to get the same games!

[@nomadsound]

True story! There are a couple or three good online stores in Spain that have a much better catalogue of games, that’s where I get all my games.

That's awesome. I was just in Barcelona 3 weeks ago. Also saw Sagrada Familia which was magnificent. I hit up a game store called Kaburi which had a great selection and bought myself Sea Salt & Paper in Spanish since it's language independent. There was a huge comic book story right next door with an amazing array of collectibles as well. Great corner for geeking out.

[@TimChuon]

no way!! we might've been there around the same time! I gotta put Kaburi on my itinerary the next time we go back to spain~ it sounds like you had a lot of fun!

@@TimChuon Like ships passing in the night. 😄 We were in Spain from March 8th to the 14th. A few days in Barcelona and a few in Madrid. Went to a good game store there as well called Atlantica Juegos.

That's very cool! I imagine that you saw many games by DEVIR publisher who is spanish based. They've been publishing some interesting games lately. For example, Bamboo, 3 ring circus, the red cathedral, the white castle, etc. I like this new segment of the channel, combining travel & board games. Cheers!

[@TimChuon]

YES! i did get to play Bitoku earlier this year, and it was awesome! can't wait to try out their other titles (probably 3 ring circus next!) thank you so much for watching!

Zacatrus is huge gaming store, maybe the biggest game chain in Spain, with it's owm game publisher. Tho it may be on the more mainstream of the shops as they try to work like a chain with very similar experiences

[@TimChuon]

Oh I had no idea! This is the first time i'm hearing a retail chain also has its own publisher-how cool! Definitely need to stop by some other stores next time we're out there-thank you for sharing~ 🥳

[@GeneracionHortaleza]

@@TimChuonSpains is just big enough so that a big game store chain can have their own game publisher. They benefit their customers with free shipping with their own brand games, and they're not bad normally, some are verty good. You won't see much on heavy or specialized kickstatery games but for general purpose games they're a very solid solution. We're based on Madrid, don't hesitate to contact if you want more info, we love your videos

[@fazzi4019]

Sorry if I missed this detail in the video, did you notice if they have a lot of games in English?

[@TimChuon]

@@fazzi4019 oh shoot great question! I think most of the titles I saw were in Spanish! They did have some language independent games though!

[@fazzi4019]

Maybe our friend from Spain can enlighten us on this 😀

[@jellybryce7742]

awesome vid! hopefully you get to visit a uk store someday and see all the chaps.

[@TimChuon]

OH! Tune in on Wednesday 😱

[@RamonMercadoReyes]

What?!?! I went to Spain on 2023 and visited several stores. Shout out to Juguemos Una and Zacatrus in Sevile… the staff on both of those were amazing and gave me some awesome recommendations of games to buy (Rebel Princess). And the gamers in Zacatrus were so welcoming. After playing some games they even took me to the Festival de las Naciones!

[@TimChuon]

no way!! that sounds on point-everyone was incredibly nice when we went! happy you had a great time

[@markdandridge4433]

I don't have a clue where you went next. Hmmm Where in the world is Tim Chuon the board game?

[@TimChuon]

hahaha two more places, and they're all in europe!

[@Efendiwu]
