In addition to the usual ranges of Warhammer et al games, Rules of Play also carries a wide…read moreselection of board games, and some of the more esoteric games that may only have been previously available online. I thankfully didn't have the same customer service annoyances as Amanda, most likely because I came here with a boy, but I'm happy to report the staff were helpful and courteous in any case. Although I'm not interested in much this shop has to offer, I think Rules of Play is a welcomed communal haven for the gaming community. For those Cardiff residents looking to expand their playing circles, Rules of Play also has an oft-updated Facebook page, in addition to an interactive forum. Events like game-play evenings are often scheduled, with Magic night on Thursdays from 6pm (only £2 entry). For more information, check out their afore-mentioned social media pages.

My dad's a bit of a trainspotter, so whenever he comes down to Bristol he loves having a route around in this place for a new locomotive, or bit of rail track, or whatever (I don't know, mostly I just nod and smile). The staff are really friendly and obviously well into their stuff. If you're after something in particular then they'll be more than happy to help and will no doubt strike up a healthy debate about the various different gauges (sizes) of train sets you can get and which one is best (N-gauge, I'm told). You get the idea.

Cardiff model-makers will already be very familiar with Antics, as it's a shop that's packed to the…read morerafters with model planes, boats, cars, railways, and all the accessories that go with them. They have diecast and display model aeroplanes from various top brands; war gaming and figures; military models; Scalextric kits and cars; steam powered models; radio controlled systems; and maritime models - amongst other products. Then once you're set up, they also have lots of the little extras you might be looking for. If you're after some landscaping materials for your model railway, for example, you can pick up individual items such as miniature trees or whole kits with a variety of scenic materials to create a realistic-looking environment. Usually populated mainly by men and boys, this is a great shop for any keen model makers.

First off - great name for a hobby shop. Second - I can't believe their ranges of radio controlled…read moremodel cars, boats, planes, toys, vehicles, plastic kits and model railways. Antics is the stuff little boys' dreams are made of, and its location on the castle end of St Mary's Street means it's perfectly positioned to catch the hordes of tourists in that area of town. It packs a lot of stock into such a modest shop - the list is seemingly endless: flying models, military models and figures, Wargaming figures, Scalextric (my personal favourite), educational kids, books and DVDs. If you can't find what you're looking for - which would be a stretch of the imagination - Antics has an online shop with more than 10,000 models in stock.
