Having been away all summer, last week was my first chance to head over and check out Redcap’s new location at 36th and Lancaster.  It must have been kind of bittersweet for the guys to move, having sunk all that work into updating the previous space.  It’s almost certainly for the best though, this is a much bigger venue.  Quick observations:

• The retail space got a lot bigger, and they’ve filled it with all awesome stuff.  The 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Warmachine, and Reaper/miscellaneous miniatures selections have gotten pretty large.  The boardgame selection has become very substantial.
  

  View down the length of the main space. That is indeed a wall of boardgames to the left. Out of sight are several bookcases of boardgames to the right…

  

  40k!

• The main gaming space is as big as before.  There’s a large number of tables for cards and standard boardgames, plus a handful of double tables for miniatures and big boardgames.
  

  Yu-Gi-Oh!

• The previous loft became two or three private rooms for role playing and miniatures.  I believe the guys are keeping these generally locked but available for regular groups looking for quieter space.
• There’s now separate men’s and women’s bathrooms, each bigger and nicer than the old one.
• They’ve both constructed and purchased a bunch of terrain.  There’s little reason to bring any for a typical night anymore.  Most of it is at least playable, and some of it’s actually really good.

All in all, it’s pretty sweet to see the store seemingly doing well, there was a seemingly substantial crowd in there Sunday evening.
