Colosseum Games

Colosseum Games is a locally owned game store at 5719 75th Street in Kenosha, Wisconsin, open seven days a week and serving southeastern Wisconsin since 2011. It covers a wide stretch of the tabletop hobby, from board games and video games to Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, and it also buys and trades used goods. It suits Magic players, role-players and board gamers who want one stop that handles both new product and secondhand finds.

What's on the shelves

The store specializes in board games, video games, Magic: The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons and a range of other tabletop hobbies. Magic is the card game the store carries, and upcoming Magic set releases can be preordered in store so product is reserved ahead of launch. Past release preorders have included Merfolk vs. Goblins at $19.99 and Iconic Masters, where the first 16 boxes preordered were priced at $219.99.

The store also buys and trades. It takes in used video games, role-playing books, board games and Magic cards, which makes it a place to move a shelf of old games as well as to stock up.

Subscriptions for living card games

Fantasy Flight's living card games can be handled by subscription. The service guarantees a copy of each new release and carries a discount on every one. The lines covered have included Netrunner, Game of Thrones, Legend of the Five Rings and Arkham Horror.
