Does anybody have any board games or know where English board games can be bought. I'm thinking Itaewon, but if anybody's moving or something, I would love to take over your collection.

THANKS!

The best selection of Western-style board games I've seen for sale in Seoul is at the Youngpoong bookstore at Jonggak Station (line 1). Generally the Korean versions are on offer, but it's relatively easy to download English manuals (you might have a bit more trouble with card-based games though).

Costco usually has Monopoly. You can get Chess and Jenga at HomePlus.

There's a Toys R Us in Guri, on the east side of Seoul. They have a large board game collection. There are other ToysRUs stores in Korea, I just don't know where.

Also, do you know about board game cafes? You can go there and pay a fee per hour to play games, and they have hundreds of boardgames to choose from. Usually about 3000w per person per hour, so if you want a lot of friends in on a game, it can get expensive quick.

If you need more info on Toys R Us or on game cafes, let me know.
