We all have our favorite pastime activities. Whether on vacation or just relaxing at home, those hobbies help keep us entertained. Specialist shops in Hungary offer a variety of options to help you pass the time with your favorite guilty pleasure.
The Sárkánytűz Hobby Store offers a wide selection of fantasy and sci-fi books, board games, role-playing games, trading card games, miniatures and gaming accessories. Don’t worry if you don’t speak Hungarian – these products have not been around for very long in Budapest, so many of the foreign books and games you’ll find are only available in English.
Maybe you’re thinking of meeting the challenge of learning Hungarian. If so, a short novel from a local author might help you learn some new words. Or, if you’re more into card games, there are some options that will satisfy your needs like poker cards and accessories. Sárkánytűz also offers weekly and monthly sanctioned events of well-known English language trading card games like Magic and the Gathering, which can help you keep your virtual trophy case up to date. The shop is well stocked, and even the occasional vintage hound might find something worthy.
If you are more of a memorabilia collector, maybe you would be more interested in Holdfény Fantasy which offers movie and sports collectables. The store carries a huge selection of movie, videogame and comic-related action figures and statuettes, various new and used comic books (including mangas) and a dozen trading card games. There are also some options for gaming and anime buffs as well. Holdfény Fantasy’s weekly and monthly events feature official tournaments and casual play of the games Magic, the Gathering, World of Warcraft, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Duelmasters.
