Five Realms Gaming Lounge: A new destination for the Poole gaming community

Poole, UK, 10th August 2023: Located upstairs at Dolphin Quays, Five Realms Gaming Lounge is the go-to location for Dorset based gamers of all ages.

This Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS) aims to provide a much-needed tabletop gaming and social space for casual gamers, families and geek culture fans in Poole and the wider area.  

Following a successful launch in November 2022, the Achroma Store and Gaming Café on Poole Quay quickly became a popular destination for the growing Achroma card game community. Always looking for new ways to bring local gamers together, the team behind Achroma recently rebranded and relaunched the Achroma Store as Five Realms Gaming Lounge, offering exciting new features, games and events in a fresh and welcoming environment.  

At Five Realms, visitors can shop and play all kinds of tabletop games, including board games, card games and miniatures games, whether bringing their favourite games from home or borrowing from the in-store library. The friendly team will even show customers how to play many of the games they have in-store. This inclusive space also features comfortable sofas, a Nintendo, a giant TV, and a free-to-play arcade machine, as well as delicious freshly made sandwiches, cakes, snacks, teas and coffee.  

“We're focused on creating an excellent customer experience and building a friendly community around a warm and welcoming space” says Dan Renton, Brand Manager. 

Each week, gaming fans can attend nights themed around Pokémon, Warhammer, Achroma and Magic: The Gathering. On Saturdays, special events are hosted, such as tournaments and Stay & Play days where the team will teach and support new players with games like One Piece Card Game and Pokémon. The week ends with board games for everyone on a Sunday. 

“The response so far has been incredible, with gamers of all ages popping by to chat, hang out and play. It’s been a genuine joy to be part of” says Dan.
