Fantastic store and somewhat of an oasis in a small city like Hobart, which for me entails a great range of fantasy figures, paints, tools and how-to books on modelling and diorama making. Very pleasant and helpful staff. I always love chatting about new products or techniques with owner-operator Andrew, a total gentleman who is very much about imparting useful knowledge and skills to the wider modelling and gaming community.

Amazing space. Well lit, clean, excellent stock and properly organised. All games/boardgaming shops should aspire to this. Fantastic play space as well, friendly helpful staff. Well done!

Arguably the best board game shop in Hobart. Their range is good, but their prices are ridiculously high. I’m from Brisbane and just moved to the Hobart region a little over a year ago. In Brisbane I was spoilt for choice and competition kept prices low. Area 52 also has the same issue I’ve noticed with most retail here: shipping to Tasmania is way more expensive and irregular than the mainland. Their prices have to compensate for this. I want to buy local, and you do get the advantage of getting the game right now if it’s in stock. But almost every time I can get the game much much cheaper online, even after adding postage.
