Lingard’s Games is one of the few remaining truly independent shops in Colchester, and is all the better for it. The store stocks trading cards, board games and puzzles, with a pretty comprehensive selection. Even specialist titles are stocked Biblopoly, anyone? The staff are highly knowledgeable and willing to help with any queries that may arise. Tournaments of various trading card games are held on a regular basis, making Lingard’s a hub for Colchester’s gaming community. The store is one of my all-time favourites and is highly recommended for both gifts and specialist games a well-deserved five stars. Just awesome, really.
