I bought Pokemon booster packs, Fusion strike, Prismatic evolution, Paldea evolved and Surging…read moresparks. The fist 3 booster packs they were resealed, one of them had 2 code cards and one of the code cards was looking so old, destroyed on the sides also some cards were made of plastic. The only booster pack was ok was the Surging sparks the Japanese version. It was the only originally sealed from factory because those booster packs it is impossible to reseal them once opened. Pokemon should have all the boosters this way sealed, all the languages versions, so scammers will stops doing this unpleased thing. The owner of the shop or whoever answered the comment i left in google reviews said they don't do that. Well I clearly see his employees are doing this, and he is not aware or himself is doing it. I don't now win anything by leaving this comment, i just had a huge loss. You might have a nice shop with lot of things but when it comes to TCG you are not taking care of your customers and it is really sad. Thanks to us you can function, keep that in mind, and stop scamming tourists, because i was one of them and i regret not checking this booster packs in the shop, that was also my mistake. Now if people wants to believe me is their choice but i said what i had to say.

What comes to mind when I think of the American Book Center a pretty average bookshop that does not…read morestand out from the rest, despite them speaking English. I always try to stop in here every once in a blue moon to see if a book will stand out for me to purchase. Once in a while, I get lucky to find a book that strikes my interest. However, most of the time I try to check out other bookstores that have that warm, cozy, and friendly feeling because half of the time I feel they definitely don't got it.

Very well kept local game store with a nice selection. Friendly owners and knowledgeable people…read moremake this a good store to go to if you're in Amsterdam. Not the best place for Magic the Gathering or Pokemon, but they do keep current things in stock at reasonable prices. Like most places today, they just don't have a lot in, but hard to fault them with the current CCG craze. The only thing is they didn't have a play space for gaming. SELECTION: Overall, really good. Nice stable selection of popular board games and high quality board games the average person doesn't know about but should. They did have MTG Final Fantasy at a reasonable if slightly inflated price, but worth buying if you didn't have it already. No collector boosters, but they might have just sold out like so many stores do. SERVICE: Friendly, respectful, nice, and helpful. Really what more could you want? Plus, they were genuinely nice people. COST: Pretty reasonable. Everything was in line or better with what you can get from the US.

So many different games, from puzzles, and cards to elaborately illustrated boxed sets are gathered here -- only a few I've heard of -- the majority are new to me. Neverless, we picked up a few games to try, and maybe I'll research some others.

My coworker and I dropped in on this corner pub, mostly to get a moment of relief from the cold and…read morerain outside in Amsterdam Noord, but what we found was so much more! This is what one might consider a 'London Style' pub, but much, much larger and with a little more to offer. The 'usual' things you would imagine in any English Pub are here, including groups of men at different tables arguing the 'issues of the day,' and possibly talking about their lives and maybe setting up a card game. Hard to say exactly as my Dutch is poor, at best, but they were laughing and having fun, so it made for a lively scene. My colleague and I ordered a glass of wine, and since we had been out in the 35 degree weather, with soaking rain, we opted for the tomato soup on the menu. The wine was okay, not cold, but it's Europe, so, kinda cool works. We both ordered the tomato soup which was quite good and unlike any tomato soup I'd ever seen. The soup was hearty and rich in flavor, but most surprising was the ground beef in the soup! It made the soup more like a 'sloppy joe' soup and it was tasty! That made it not only heartwarming, but also dinner, for me. The soup was a VERY generous portion, which was really a meal in itself as far as I'm concerned. The establishment has maybe 2 employees; a VERY kind and social 'bar keep' and possibly a kitchen worker. We were served quickly with our wine[s], but it took a bit for the soup, but I will say we were there at an odd time; just past the lunch hours and just before the evening patrons, except for those men [described previously], and they might just be there all day, but I have no personal knowledge of this. The barkeep did seem to know them by name and said they 'always sit in the same place.' The friendly barkeep did tell us this large dance floor [please see picture] is utilized on Fri/Sat nights for live entertainment and dancing. It's a good sized area for that, so I would imagine those nights are most likely bustling with people. When I return to Amsterdam, hopefully in the next few months, Cafe Du Bult will be on my list of places to revisit!
