We finally visited the world-famous Wizard's Chest in Denver. Over 16,000 square feet of nerdy goodness.

You know, I lived in the Denver metro area for over three years and never made my way over to this gem. I played mainly at DCG, Dark Matter Games and the Lakewood Colpar Hobbies.

I live maybe 5 minutes from there! Great for X-Wing, Magic and board games. Unfortunately the 40k section is rarely updated!

FYI - Denver has one of the best GW stores in the country!

So cool! I would love to visit there some day.

I live in Denver, and have visited the Wizard's Chest off and on for 20 years. They used to be in an even more castle-looking location in expensive Cherry Creek, but they moved to this new location about a year or two ago. It was a good choice - parking was hard to find in Cherry Creek, but easier where they are, as among other things they've worked out a deal with a nearby architecture firm to use their parking lot during non-business hours. Also, the new store is significantly larger than the old location - where before they would set up tables for gaming between racks of merchandise, now there's dedicated rooms for playing in.

There's also a fine art supply store next door, where you can check out nice brushes, palettes, and tons and tons of neat equipment. (that's where I picked up my painting lamp with magnifying lens.)

Oh, and when the video mentions 'professional magic', they didn't mean Magic: The Gathering - that's the area with stage magic supplies.

Basically, they're now my FLGS since closer stores have gone out of business. If you're travelling through Denver, The Wizard's Chest is a great place to stop by and visit. If you're downtown and don't have a car, you want the #0 bus.

I love Wizard's Chest. But yeah Denver has tons of great gaming stores, from Colpar Hobbytowns to Westminister Hobbytown to GW's store to Enchanted Grounds.
