Črna Luknja Ljubljana
Dragon's den or store?
Hear ye hear ye! There is a place in Ljubljana with walls so black they resemble a dungeon adorned with a dragon's head, not alive but still roaring, with ships floating on thin air beneath the ceiling next to a miniature land that looks a bit like ours but is turned upside down… yes, a sort of wonderland, but a dark one, filled with mysterious creatures, spells and…
Board games. Card games. Fantasy books. If I break it down for you – welcome to geek eden. And when I say "geek", you better believe that I say it with honor and respect. There should not be a MTG (collectible card game called Magic: The Gathering) or D&D (role-playing game called Dungeons and Dragons) fan that leaves Ljubljana without visiting Črna Luknja at least once. They even hold tournaments, so if you're game, just ask at the counter about the next one.
It's okay if you're not a geek per se (I've never played D&D either and I'm a huge newbie when it comes to MTG). They sell games for every age, level and taste. So just go in and have a look. Some of the employees might wear masks with fangs, but are actually super friendly and will be happy to help you out or have a chat.
