The staff are rude and ignorant.
Not a welcoming shop

Looks like a lovely place and maybe it was a rough day when we went but we weren't impressed. Though the selection of games is extensive, the staff felt a bit unbothered and even slightly rude. The board game we bought was damaged before we even got it home and out of the shrink wrap after dropping a good chunk of 60 quid on it and living too far to be able to go back and return it. Which just seems to show that they do not bother inspecting their products for damage which can happen and should be rectified. But instead customers end up with damaged products and staff couldn't care less. Not great considering how much choice there is in Manchester for shops selling board games including one just round the corner.
Disappointing!

Absolutely awesome FLGS. One of the best in the country. Can't recommend highly enough.

This is a real LCS. Staff were so helpful, even when we asked 10,000 questions. Fair prices and amazing selection.

This is our game shop. Well this and element games in Stockport, don't forget them. But yeah fan boy is up there with the best in terms of stock, events they put on, variety of stuff on sale. Just not great for miniatures war gaming, go to element for that

We had a great family day here, 9 of us in total celebrating a birthday and playing games, huge choice and staff were super helpful in pointing us in the right direction for games that would work for our group size and agr ranges. Cafe food was good too, time flew by. Highly recommended.

A really great service that they give to the Manchester boardgame community. Will definitely be back

Do I need to review FanBoy3? It's a Manchester institution and I love its current premises, cafe and space for gaming in the basement for a modest fee. A delight. I bought too many dice.

Brilliant place. Staff are friendly, food is good and they have boardgames and role-playing. What's not to love?
