I have a 12 hour layover in Houston. Are there any wargames shops closer to the airport, or that I could get to on public transport? |

Which airport? Intercontinental or Hobby* airport? Dan
* It's the name. It's not a 28mm or 15mm "hobby" version of a real one. :) |

Ettin Hobbies is a short ride from IAH (Bush Intercontinental) ettingames.com They have a large boardgame section to borrow and play in the store. They have a good selection of boardgames, fantasy and science fiction stuff. For historical – mostly Bolt Action and Black Powder when I was there last Worth a visit In the same general area there is a large Hobby/Craft store called Hobby Lobby hobbylobby.com Also worth a visit if you enjoy large craft stores – carry everything from paint to trains and plastic models along with other craft items – A good general craft store – open everyday except Sundays |

Public transportation in Houston? ROFL You'll have to take a taxi or Uber |

I don't know about the Hobby Airport area. There is a Swords and Superheroes store in Kingwood, which about 15 miles from Bush Airport. As mentioned above, public transportation in Houston is centered around getting people from outlying areas to downtown; not really an option for local travel up near Kingwood. |

If your layover is at Hobby, Nan's Books and Comics Too nansgames.com and Third Planet third-planet.com are not too far away on Southwest Freeway. |
