If you're into board games, TCGs, or comics: stop scrolling and head to Kabooom. Seriously. This place is a treasure trove for English board games, trading card games, and comics. The selection is incredible--not only do they carry popular titles, but they also have a surprising amount of hidden gems you won't find in your average shop. What really sets Kabooom apart, though, is the people. The staff are not only friendly--they're passionate, welcoming, and genuinely knowledgeable. Whether you're a longtime gamer or just curious and getting started, they'll take the time to help you out, offer expert advice, and make sure you leave with something you'll love. I've had great experiences just chatting with them, getting recommendations, and even discovering things I didn't know I needed. It's not just a store--it's a community hub. You walk in and you feel it. The vibe is warm, geeky in the best way, and full of good energy. If you're nearby or even just passing through--make Kabooom a stop. You won't regret it. read more

My partner and I are really disappointed with our recent experience ordering from Kaboom. We pre-ordered product from the Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy set well in advance, specifically choosing Kaboom because it's a brick-and-mortar LGS. Supporting local game stores matters to us -- even when it means paying slightly more than from online retailers. Unfortunately, our order was cancelled less than two weeks from launch day, with the explanation that Kaboom weren't receiving their guaranteed allocation. It has taken 12 days for the refund to clear, which has left us significantly out of pocket, with no opportunity to secure the product elsewhere without paying grossly inflated prices. If you couldn't guarantee the product, you should not have allocated it for pre-order. At the time you cancelled the order, every other LGS in the country had already sold out. I understand that distribution problems happen. But our agreement was with you. Not with WoTC, not with your distributor, or your suppliers. The timing of the cancellation, and the delay in processing the refund, were solely your responsibility -- and they've left us feeling let down and frustrated. We wanted to support a local business. Instead, we're walking away disappointed,without what we ordered, and instead of being excited on release day, we're now very sad with no new product to open. Regardless of your LGS status, we won't be ordering from you again. You've really let us down. read more

When a first time customer asks a question about comic book world, you don't rudely answer back with "You need to be a paying customer for ten years..." (meanwhile, other co-worker is laughing. Not cute, Sis!) Just to show your cocky management attitude to look better. Insulting my intelligence. Not even knowing about my 30+ history with comics and the universe that follows with it. Think about what you say. Be more professional! I was wanting to know more about your business and the products was going to buy. Dont understand my English? Here it is in German... Wenn ein Neukunde eine Frage zur Comic-Welt stellt, antworten Sie nicht unhöflich mit "Sie müssen zehn Jahre lang zahlender Kunde sein ..." (währenddessen lacht ein anderer Kollege. Nicht süß, Schwester!), nur um Ihre angeberische Führungshaltung zu zeigen und besser dazustehen. Sie beleidigen meine Intelligenz. Sie wissen nicht einmal von meiner über 30-jährigen Comic-Geschichte und dem Universum, das damit einhergeht. Denken Sie darüber nach, was Sie sagen. Seien Sie professioneller! Ich wollte mehr über Ihr Unternehmen und die Produkte erfahren, die Sie kaufen würden. read more

Most definitely the best (and possibly only) comic book store in Zurich which caters to English speaking comic book aficionados. Stocked with everything you'd expect from a comic book store in the States, Kabooom offers all the major monthly titles from DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, etc., as well as a respectable assortment of trade paperbacks, collectibles, and even gaming supplies. It would be a nice addition to virtually any American metropolitan area, but in Central Europe it is a very welcome anomaly, especially for those of us who suffer from comics deprivation when we've been gone too long. The owners are very helpful and knowledgeable and, quite obviously, are fluent in English. A tad oddly, the shop also offers travel services and the location requires a bit of extra travel and local knowledge (or solid GPS), but it is well worth the extra effort. Be sure to stop by and pick up a couple of books or a Pop! Or two. read more

A great selection of DC and Marvel comics. The staff were very friendly and helpful in helping choose comics for my two boys.
