Discover Westville's unseen hangout spot and tabletop gaming shoppe

If you're obsessed with board games, mad about card games, or thrilled by role-playing games, you're in luck! The Unseen Shoppe in Westville is your local fantasy tabletop gaming store. The shop was opened by two friends, Andrew Cullen and Francois Grobler, who wanted a safe, social, and fun place where tabletop gamers could unite. Besides selling traditional board games and rare collector items, the shop has now become a treasured community hangout - one where people of all ages and backgrounds can unleash their inner nerds.

Tabletop gaming, growing in popularity
While events like rAge Expo and Comic Con Africa are celebrating tabletop gaming, it's places like the Unseen Shoppe that keep gamers going on a local, daily basis. Around the globe, tabletop gaming has become a phenomenon. If you enjoy board games, card games, role-playing games, dice games and more, you're part of the tabletop gaming squad.

Tabletop gaming has grown over the years but it was during the Covid-19 nationwide lockdown that it saw a spike in interest. Getting out the board, rolling the dice, or dealing the cards became a powerful way for families and friends to deal with pandemic-related isolation and anxiety. The Unseen Shoppe, like many tabletop gaming providers, played an important role in the fun moments people shared around their favourite games.

With friendly staff on hand to help, you can browse the Unseen Shoppe's fine selection of tabletop games in store. Their online store also features high-quality merchandise in stock that you can purchase and have delivered directly to your home. If you're looking for that special item that's out of stock or something they don't usually have in their inventory, the Unseen Shoppe will source it and have it delivered to you. With games and accessories to suit every budget and genre, you're sure to find an item that matches your interests.

What makes The Unseen Shoppe unique, is that they also have a board game rental program with 100+ board games you can explore at your leisure. And for those who love to rock unique apparel, The Unseen Shoppe also has merchandise available in the form of the coolest shirts, stickers and notepads.

Having a store like this in Westville is groundbreaking. The global ranks of board games, animation and fantasy enthusiasts is a massive market and the Unseen Shoppe aims to cater to the local fandom. Sharing online games, trading collectables and participating in role-play gaming leagues creates an escape from the mundane. The Unseen Shoppe also has a range of gift cards that you can purchase to surprise those die-hard fans or as a welcoming entry to the Curious Cathy interested in exploring the intriguing world of fantasy gaming communities.

A world of fun in your neighbourhood
