- If you want to see the gaming area in action, aim for late afternoons or early evenings on hobby nights when tables are more active.
- Bring a list or photos of your existing comics, Warhammer armies or card decks to avoid accidental duplicates when shopping.
- Check which rulebooks and games are available in Danish if you are buying for kids or non‑English speakers.
- Costumes and LARP gear can be bulky; if you are travelling light, focus on packable accessories like dice, minis and card games.

Discover more about Faraos Cigarer
A Danish geek institution brought together under one roof
Faraos Cigarer Odense is the Funen outpost of Denmark’s best‑known fantasy, comics and gaming chain, purpose‑built to bring the brand’s many specialties together in a single, sprawling 600 m² space. Opened in 2019 on Klostervej, it gathers comics, role‑playing, board games, figurines, trading cards, costumes and live‑action role‑play equipment in one continuous maze of shelves and tables. The feeling is less of a conventional shop and more of a curated universe, where every corner pulls you into a different fandom. Visually, the store mixes practical modern fittings with colourful box art, book spines and character figures. Stacks of rulebooks brush shoulders with manga volumes, while glass cabinets showcase lovingly painted miniatures. Despite its size, the layout remains navigable, each zone loosely themed so you can drift from one interest to the next without losing your bearings.Comics, manga and stories from every world
One of the beating hearts of Faraos Cigarer Odense is its expansive comics and manga area. Here you find Danish and translated European albums, American superhero series, indie graphic novels and long rows of Japanese manga. From classic Franco‑Belgian series to cult graphic memoirs and current shonen hits, the selection rewards both casual browsers and dedicated collectors. The graphic shelves are arranged so newcomers can start with accessible, clearly signposted series, while deep backlists beckon those hunting for missing volumes. Nearby, tie‑in novels, art books and genre fiction extend the storytelling beyond the page, creating a bridge between comics culture, fantasy literature and film and TV universes.Games tables, dice and miniature battlefields
At the other end of the store the focus shifts from reading to playing. Long tables, terrain pieces and display armies signal the home of Warhammer and other miniature wargames, supported by a wide range of paints, brushes and modelling supplies. Starter sets sit side by side with advanced rule expansions, so both first‑time generals and seasoned commanders can equip themselves. Board games form another major pillar, from family‑friendly titles and party games to heavy euro‑style strategies. Stacks of cooperative adventures, card‑driven deck‑builders and compact travel games invite experimentation. Dedicated sections for role‑playing systems and dice offer rulebooks, campaign settings and accessories for both fantasy staples and more niche storytelling games, while trading card fans find boosters, decks and storage solutions for popular card games.Costumes, props and the spirit of live action
Beyond the shelves of boxes and books, Faraos Cigarer Odense leans into Denmark’s strong live‑action role‑play scene. Racks of cloaks, tunics and armour pieces line part of the floor, with belts, pouches and foam weapons filling the gaps. Whether you are assembling a full fantasy character, hunting for a single accessory for a costume party or just browsing out of curiosity, the variety of textures and designs makes this section particularly tactile. Merchandise rounds out the visual overload: T‑shirts, mugs, posters, figurines and collectibles from films, series, games and anime. It is the place where fan identity becomes wearable or gift‑worthy, and where you can easily lose track of time comparing designs or discovering a favourite character rendered in yet another style.A social hub for Odense’s gamers and nerds
What truly differentiates the Odense branch is its large in‑store gaming area. Tables are available during opening hours for casual board‑game sessions, role‑playing groups or card tournaments, and the store’s calendar features hobby evenings where painters, dungeon masters and players meet around shared passions. The atmosphere combines the buzz of a café with the focus of a club, but with staff and stock close at hand if you need a new set of dice or last‑minute expansion. Even if you are not here to play, it is worth pausing to watch a miniature battle unfold or overhear the rules of a complex new strategy game being explained. The sense of community is part of the experience: locals drop in to browse new releases, pick up pre‑orders or simply talk lore. For travellers passing through Odense, Faraos Cigarer offers a vivid snapshot of contemporary Nordic geek culture, concentrated into a single, colourful space just a short stroll from the city’s other cultural sights.Planning your visit and making the most of it
The store keeps generous hours throughout the week, including Sunday daytime, which makes it easy to fold a visit into wider Odense sightseeing or a relaxed afternoon in the city centre. The footprint is large enough that you can spend anywhere from a quick half‑hour browse to several hours moving between sections and watching games in progress. Because the selection spans entry‑level titles to advanced systems, it helps to think beforehand about whether you are hunting for a specific item or open to recommendations. Staff are used to guiding complete beginners as well as discussing detailed rules questions, and many items have Danish‑language options that make them ideal souvenirs or gifts. Prices range from small accessories and budget‑friendly card packs to premium boxed sets and high‑end collectibles, so most visitors can find something that fits both interests and budget while discovering how wide and lively Denmark’s gaming and comics scene has become.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
