Local tips
- Set aside extra time: with 600 m² of comics, games and merch plus a play area, it is easy to spend longer here than planned browsing different sections.
- If you are into tabletop or card games, check in-store notices for hobby evenings and events; they are a good opportunity to see games in action or join a session.
- Bring a list of series or systems you are interested in; the range is large, and a short list makes it easier for staff to guide you to the right shelves.
- For visitors from abroad, look for English-language comics and rulebooks, which are well represented alongside Danish titles.

Discover more about Faraos Cigarer
A Danish geek institution under one roof
Faraos Cigarer Odense is the city’s all-in-one destination for comics, games and pop culture, bringing together everything the Faraos chain is known for in a single 600 m² space. Opened in 2019, it was designed as a flagship-style store for Funen, where shelves of graphic novels stand side by side with towering displays of fantasy miniatures and colourful merchandise. The atmosphere is part specialty bookshop, part gaming den and part clubhouse. Step inside and you are immediately surrounded by rows of European and American comics, manga and genre fiction. Superheroes, indie graphic novels, sci-fi sagas and classic bandes dessinées share space with fantasy epics and cult paperbacks. For many visitors, it is the kind of place where you come in for one title and end up discovering three more you did not know you needed.Board games, dice and worlds of imagination
Beyond the comics, Faraos Cigarer Odense is a serious playground for tabletop enthusiasts. Long walls are filled with board games, from gateway party titles to heavy strategy boxes, alongside family games that can be played the same evening. Role-players will find a deep selection of rulebooks, adventure modules, dice sets and accessories, from classic fantasy systems to indie and story-driven games. A substantial part of the floor space is devoted to miniature and figurine-based games. Here you can browse army boxes, paints, brushes and terrain pieces, whether you are assembling your first squad or refining an established collection. Trading card players will notice displays of card boosters, decks and accessories, making the store a natural supply hub before and after local tournaments.Costumes, live role-play and character building
Faraos Cigarer also reaches into the world of live role-play. Racks of cloaks, tunics, belts and props invite you to imagine your next character beyond the game table, with outfits and gear suited to fantasy events, themed parties or conventions. Accessories such as pouches, bracers and replica weapons help complete the look while remaining focused on hobby use. Merchandise lines the walls and display stands: figures from beloved franchises, posters, mugs, T-shirts and collectibles inspired by films, series, games and anime. It gives the store a colourful, almost bazaar-like feel, where each corner reveals a different fandom. Even if you are not shopping for a full costume or big-box game, it is easy to find a small souvenir that reflects your interests.A social hub for gamers and comic fans
One of the defining features of Faraos Cigarer Odense is its large in-store play area. Tables and terrain boards create a flexible space where people gather to play board games, miniature battles or card tournaments during opening hours and on dedicated hobby evenings. The experience is as much about community as it is about the products on the shelves. Newcomers can watch games in progress, pick up tips or get help learning a ruleset, while more experienced players use the space to test strategies or meet regular opponents. The open layout keeps the gaming zone visually connected to the retail area, so even a quick visit often includes a glimpse of dice rolling and miniatures advancing across a battlefield.Finding your way around the store
Despite its size, the shop is relatively easy to navigate thanks to distinct thematic sections. Comics, manga and books tend to anchor one side, with shelves arranged by language or publisher, while board games and role-playing products form another clearly marked zone. Miniatures and hobby paints are grouped around display cabinets, and merchandise and costumes create splashes of colour throughout the space. Staff are accustomed to helping both beginners and dedicated collectors, whether you are trying to choose your first modern board game, looking for a specific comic run, or deciding which paints work best for a new army. Combined with its central location in Odense C, Faraos Cigarer functions as a cultural touchpoint for the city’s nerd and hobby scene, and an absorbing stop for any visitor curious about contemporary Danish geek culture.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
