Little Wars

Super laid back store for game enthusiasts especially miniature based games. The most popular games here are War Machine and Hordes. They sell micro games, starter kits, miniatures, books, card expansion sets, and even the paints to flesh out your miniatures. Everything you need to get your gamer geek on. The tables are available on a first come first served basis.
On Sundays regulars often bring in board games to play. It’s a really cool place to hang out and play or just watch and learn.

Oh, Little Wars… You’re like a wonderful woman I’ll never get to be with…
Lemme explain.
Since Katrina, there’s been an absolute dearth of game stores in my area (Slidell). So, this past weekend I took the boy and drove an hour and a half to see Little Wars. I got there with no problem, but there was a bit of a parking kerfluffle because there was a vintage auto show going on in the communal parking lot.
Once inside, I was downright overwhelmed. Several tables of 40K and Warmachine were going on. To the right of the entrance, an entire wall of board and role playing games for your perusal (with Pathfinder taking up a huge section closest to the window).
To the back, a well laid out section for 40K and Warhammer Fantasy.
LW was a beautiful dame, but in the end, reality set in.
It’s too much of a trek to get to, in my opinion. As much as I loved the place on first sight, it just doesn’t justify three hours on the road to enjoy it. If you live nearby or the time isn’t an issue, this place is frakkin’ great.
And in the end, the boy got a Chibi Thulhu and I picked up some Runebound expansion decks, so it wasn’t a complete wash.

To be honest, I love this place to death. I went in there once and fell absolutely in love with the environment Little Wars offered. It may be a bit nerdy but it’s awe-​inspiring to see people that dedicated to an older way to play games. Definitely recommend going here!

+4 for good selection of geeky games and books, nice staff!
–1 for not having everything I wanted, and more books & warcraft/​warhammer stuff than boardgames.
If you are looking for a bit more of a challange in gaming Little Wars is for you! Carrying lots of table top & card games this store is certainly for the more intense (read: nerdier) gamer. The staff is very cute and helpful!
