    About a week ago I went in here because I collect oddities and also comics (in fact, I used to be a…read morecurator of a comics museum in NYC). After a quick walk through of the store, I noticed that my boyfriend was looking through a selection of books- they were all part of a series, and neither of us had seen them before. As I looked through the titles and flipped through some of the pages, I started to think that some of these books would be good gifts to bring back to my friends in NYC. Naturally, I started looking more carefully at the titles, trying to decide which of these books would be suited for my each of my friends. We were probably there looking at the books for maybe 5-7 minutes (if that) when the owner/proprietor/sales clerk came up, asked if we needed help and then grabbed one of the books from my hands, saying that this is not a library (and I know the difference between a library and a store, since I'm a professor and going to libraries is kind of a thing that I do on a regular basis). It is very hard to determine whether a book is worth buying without skimming through the pages.... I was actually about to buy that book by the way, but I was so shocked at how rudely I was treated that I walked out and continued my way to the National Galleries. This was my first experience in Edinburgh, but thankfully the rest of the city was very warm and kind.

    Listen to the bad reviews and stay far away, it's not worth the time or money. I never thought I'd…read morebe writing such a bad review for an independent comic shop because I've never ever had such a horrible experience. The first book I picked up (which was on display with a few others in the middle of the shop) had crushed papers and mouldy pages with a £20 price tag, and trust me, this guy did not seem like the haggling type. The boxes were also soggy and mouldy which was another red flag. The person I was with is an expert collector and had been carefully looking through the comics when the man sitting behind the desk (with his friends drinking at 2pm) started yelling something about being careful with the comics which we responded with "yes of course" because obviously we didn't want to overstep. We moved to a different section that didn't look as damaged and were yelled at again, this time extremely aggressive and rude saying he was going to throw us out if he has to tell us again and stood up as if he was going to shoo us away!! He literally said "I'm trying to have a chat with my mates" as if we were a hassle buying his comics!! We had already put a couple less damaged ones to the side and asked if they take card so it was obvious we were going to buy something and not just hanging around. We thought he was joking until he got more aggravated. We left immediately after. I don't know where all of the 5 stars on this place has come from but there's definitely something fishy about this place. And if another (nicer) employee works there than god bless them for keeping their business going. Forbidden Planet is worth the trip after such a sour one. If only no stars was an option.

    Well if the dust and smoke filled room doesn't drive you out then just let the owner talk. Comic…read moreboxes were damp, many comics unbagged and selection was mediocre at best. No prices on anything. The most uninviting store I've ever seen.

    Small friendly shop. Variety of board games for all ages. Table top role play and minis plus…read morepaints. Had a great chat with the staff and found not only some stuff for myself but also got some gifts to bring back for others. Liked it was in a quiet part of town away from all the tourist chaos and that it was a small business store and not a big box location. Highly recommend.

Ask your average nerd and they will point you towards Buccleuch St. If war-games, role-playing, board games, trading cards or anything of that sort is your thing, then Black Lion Games is the place for you. Don't be put off by its dark dingy exterior and grated windows, inside is bright fresh (newly refurbished) treasure trove for your inner child and suppressed imagination. There is nowhere else in Edinburgh quite like it. Black Lion should be intelligent-geek central. Given its relatively small size, the shop has a great range of stock. If they don't have something in, they will order it for you promptly. There is a nice variety of role-playing books, from well known games like Dungeons and Dragons and World of Darkness to less well known and independent games. The owners will be happy to help, and won't patronise you if you're just looking for a chess set and don't know what a level 20 Tarrasque is. The shop also supplies war-game miniatures and card games like Magic the Gathering or Legend of the Five Rings. To complement this nice dice, paints and other accessories are available. However if poring over vast tomes of rules and rolling dice isn't your sort of thing, there is also a great selection of classic and new board games and traditional games like chess, dominoes and backgammon. The staff will also be happy to get you started on a new hobby and games are sometimes run in the shop too. Don't be intimidated by nerds in their own territory, this place is worth a browse even if the closest thing to "Magic: The Gathering" you've got so far is the Beltane Fire Festival. The cost for board-games, role-playing books and miniatures always gears towards the pricey, but with the fluctuating popularity of such things, and the ever erratic role-playing market, Black Lion does a good job of just keeping itself going. It's also one of the few local, businesses like it, not just in Edinburgh but in Scotland and across the UK. A cool and original shop. Highly recommended.
