These are the best people in Denver for anything ttrpg related. They have found me several copies of hard to find pathfinder books and were totally right about our friend group in particular would probably enjoy 5e dnd way more. They aren't focused on selling you an expensive box set, they're focused on selling you an awesome experience with your friends. I won't buy my dice anywhere else!

Going to this bookstore is like a treasure hunt. You never quite know what wonderful books you will find. They have a huge selection of books, games, and music and it's filled to the brim (quite literally sometimes) with great content.I try to take a trip here once a month for some books, and I am never disappointed.

Really great spot I found some true gems at a reasonable price.The second that I got home I regretted not buying a super dope remastered Crass box set I called ahead and they held on to that for me for almost a week. Super sweet guys, couldn't recommend this spot more

This place is incredible, it's what you'd picture if someone invited you to an "80's record and board game/D&D store". I have been to MANY board game/rpg stores and this is by far not only the largest and most comprehensive selection I've seen, but also the best priced; even compared to Amazon. Les was awesome and is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate people I have met when it comes to RPG's/board games, that man has to be some sort of wizard that got trapped in our timeline, and I'm not hearing any arguments against it. Don't waste your time at other stores, come here and spend 4 hours exploring just 1/4 of their collection.

This is one of the most amazingly cool and unique businesses I've ever had the pleasure of stumbling upon. I was in there for about an hour and a half and that was barely enough time just to walk through and look at everything they had. The selection is incredible. So many unique books, board games, CDs, and more. The staff was friendly, too. I would highly recommend this store to almost anyone, especially anyone nerdy.

The most amazing, helpful, honest staff. And.... more things than you could genuinely explore in months!!! Go here and get lost in fun, and find amazing things for you and your friends. What a GEM. Also - creative grouping of products like... "all 2 player games" or "sorted by publisher"

It definitely has a chaotic indie feel. The books and board games are haphazardly stacked, and the aisles are stupidly small. If you don't do well in tight, disorganized spaces, maybe try going somewhere else.

Coolest book store around. Game section is great too, but I spend most of my time in their nonfiction stacks. Almost all of their nonfiction books are off beat, rare, and though provoking outside the normal scientific and historical paradigms. The atmosphere is awesome. Yeah it’s cluttered but for me that’s a huge asset. I walk in and I feel like I’m in a different world where I can explore and be curious. Punk, queer, cool. Thanks for a great store guys.

I have been going to Black and Read since the early 90s. They have an amazing collection of new and used items. I particularly love their large selection of used rpg books and board games. They also sell new books and games for less than retail. The store is packed with awesomeness. Give yourself time to explore and you will find hidden treasures you can't get anywhere else.

Worth a visit for the atmosphere alone. If you would like to return to the childhood experience of entering the book/game store and having your imagination immediately begin to overflow, give this place a shot. Also, if you're a boomer DVD enthusiast such as myself you won't be disappointed. They'll restore your damaged media at a very reasonable price.

Great selection of new and used records. My daughter was in heaven! We shop for vinyl regularly in NYC and she found MORE at this spot in Colorado.

I went in looking for a specific couple of CD's. They only had one, but offered a few alternatives in the same genre. We got to talking about tunes, and both of us forgot to check the CD cases. I got back to Pennsylvania, and found two of the three I bought were empty. Bummer. I emailed, they checked, and mailed them to me a couple of days later. Great customer service, great selection of tunes, and tons of goodies on the other side of the store. Thank you!

Had a really positive experience here. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. They have games, books, and music. They do take some trade ins. I was looking to get rid of an old Kickstarter game that I hadn't really played and we were able to trade it for something they had. I will definitely come back here next time I need to purchase any sort of table top game, role playing materials, etc. I would recommend this business. :)

Great store for new and gently used board games and books! Prices are very affordable! My gaming collection has expanded so much thanks to their awesome collection and thanks to the super helpful and knowledgeable staff Leslie, Kari and Ben! Everyone who works there is super nice and helpful! I love this store :)

Logical things collectibles cards, music record CDs DVDs, games, board games, video games pretty much everything you could think of was there was a really good experience. Would love to go back and spend some actual time there going through things like all the records or the games they had games I've never heard of before. Dungeons and dragons. Different variations of it plus a bunch of other things I didn't even know existed. I had some really cool spawn action figures. Really cool t-shirts. Really cool backpacks. Really cool patches. Really cool. Stickers all around is really cool. Freaking store very large two sections. They have it split off into the music section and then the book/ collectible section. Highly recommend anybody and everybody go and check it out. Was busy lies of people. Today was book store appreciation. They had free sweet they were giving away plus some cheap swag too that was all geared towards reading and books. Last week was music store appreciation wish I would have know about it. Totally would have went.
