    Fantastic shop with an amazing selection! Every time I visit, the staff goes above and beyond to help me find something I truly love.

    A Great Selection of Board Games!

    This is a wonderful game shop in Bishop Arts District. I love browsing through the array of games they have. Mentally storing ideas of gifts for family and friends. Depending of who's managing the store, different perspectives I've received of games. A lot of times finding something fun and new for my regular party game nights at home. Yes, I can buy them online but on top of supporting a local business, it feels great this old fashioned way of being instantly gratified of holding that newly bought and carrying it out the store. CHEERS!

    I haven't been able to find this anywhere!

    The perfect place to read a book or catch up with a friend!…read more I stopped by Wild Detectives for a midday pick-me-up. They have a lot of cozy seating options and a unique selection of books/vinyl records! I got the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Matcha and absolutely loved it! It wasn't too sweet and had just the right amount of cinnamon. Will absolutely be back!

First of all, the Bishop Arts District itself is incredibly charming. Block after block of unique shops ranging from bookstores and bakeries to candle shops, candy stores, coffee spots, and little boutiques. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood I loveeeee exploring while traveling and if I lived in Dallas, I'd probably frequent this area often. As for The Wild Detectives, the concept alone immediately appealed to me...bookstore meets cafe meets bar meets restaurant. That combination will pretty much always grab my attention. I love to read, I love to eat. The space has a pretty relaxed, community oriented vibe, and during my Saturday morning/early afternoon visit, there were plenty of people working, reading, chatting, and hanging out both inside and on the patio. My one slight disappointment was that the bookstore side itself was smaller than I expected and didn't have quite as extensive a selection as I had imagined. That said, I still managed to leave with a few great additions for my ever growing TBR pile. Overall, this was a worthwhile stop and one I may revisit the next time I'm in Dallas.

    Great store! Boardwalk caters to all sorts of gamers. Magic dominates their event calendar, but…read morethey also have designated play times for Digimon, Lorcana, and other smaller games. The large play area is capable of accommodating 50+ players and is definitely one of the best things about the store. The available space means there's almost always people hanging out and playing some game or another. Not much tabletop wargaming going on though. They have a great selection of open games available for playing. Dice, bags, mats, paints, and other accessories are available at reasonable prices. Highly recommended, especially if you like card games or meeting up to play board games.

    I like this place- it's a clean and decently large store with many bookshelves of opened board…read moregames for visitors to try out on the many tables available. For those of you who are more familiar with "Common Ground Games" in Dallas, Boardwalk Games is basically a smaller version of that store. The exception is that Boardwalk Games is mainly board games, whereas Common Ground sells a lot of accessories (dice, collectible cards, plushies, etc). I see some other reviews negatively commenting on the tournaments run by Boardwalk Games, but I've never partaken in any of them, so I can't base my review off those tournaments; therefore, it's an easy 5 stars for me.
