12-14 rue de la Corne, Bulle de Jeux is that little shop where, as soon as you open the door, you realise you're going to spend more time than you expected. Not a general toy shop: a a real shop specialising in board games, With all that this implies in terms of precise advice, tests to be carried out and the desire to return.
Three spokes that stand up
The selection covers the whole spectrum: board games from accessible family games (Dixit, Catan, Concept) to strategic blockbusters (Terraforming Mars, Gloomhaven and others) and cooperative games ; trading cards (Magic, Pokémon, and their accessories) ; figurines of Warhammer and other universes, with the paint pots and brushes that go with them. In short, everything you need for the novice looking for “something for my bored parents” or the hobbyist preparing for his next tournament.
Advice, above all
The real value of Bulle de Jeux, as in any good games shop, is the personalised advice. “My children are 7 and 9, we like games that aren't too long, and we tend to play cooperatively”: he'll pull out three or four titles, explain the mechanics in two sentences, and advise you against one because the rules are too complicated for weekday evenings. It's hard to get that quality of discussion on an online marketplace.
A loyalty programme that quickly pays for itself
For regular customers, the shop offers 10 % discount on all purchases for one year from €130 cumulated purchase. If you're the kind of gamer who releases one game a month or paints two miniatures a week, the maths is pretty simple.
