| Try Bandi and Luni's or Kim and Johnson's. I've seen board games at both shops. |

In seoul go to Kim&Johnsons in Kangnam, exit #5
They sell lots of games in English. Also, sign up and become a member for discounts and rebates. |

| In Myeong-dong there's a big store, calling itself "the Lifestyle Store", sort of a bookstore slash gift store slash toy store. I wish I could remember the name. I'm thinking Kroger's but I know that's a grocery store back home, so that's not it. Maybe Kinex, but no, that's a movie theater. What's that name! Argh! Anyway, they have lots of games from rubix cubes to board games in German. |

Thanks so incredibly much.
I was just about to explode in frustration over this. The games were about to get wiped off my winter camp shopping list because my co-teacher couldn't find them.
I'm happy now. |

Sejong bookstore at jamsil station also has them slightly cheaper than the other place.
Monoploy runs at 30k and Life at 50k |

Kozney I think is the name. There's also a chapter at Coex. |

I think there are multiple Korean knockoffs of Monopoly... I've seen kids with them in the school. They vary from cheap fold-up paper versions (like my kids had) to quality board game versions. |
