Board Game Barrister

Since November 2005 the Board Game Barrister has been bringing the joy of board games to families throughout Milwaukee.

That's right, board games: sit-'round-the-table games, tickle-the-brain games, interact-with-people games, learn-without-being-taught games. Fun.

When you visit the Board Game Barrister, you may see two rather oddly different things than you might expect. First, there is simply so much to see. Hundreds of games will greet your eyes and tickle your imagination. Something new and different, no matter how many games you have played before.

Second, many games are open on the counter, behind the counter, and in the gaming area, ready for you to touch, feel, and play. See if the box you first liked is a winner of a game, or be surprised to discover a game whose box you might not have given more than a glance. The Board Game Barrister is on a mission to remind the world that games are meant to be played, face to face, one person at a time.

Come visit the Board Game Barrister and rediscover that it matters not what you play, it matters that you play.

Board Game Barrister store opening at Southridge Mall
It has been a long-time coming, but we have finally signed the lease for our Southridge store. Yes, that's right, the Board Game Barrister is coming that other side of town.

The new Board Game Barrister store will be on the second level, just above the food court. In a throwback to our original store on Kinnickinnic Avenue, we shall have - gasp - in-store game space. Indeed, we shall have rather a lot of play space. Above the food court. And in a mall. How cool is that?
We will begin setting up our swanky new Southridge store in mid-June, and should be open by July 1. Stay tuned for more details as we know them. It should be a hoot!


Hiring New Barristers
We will be hiring and training approximately seven new Barristers for the Southridge store, both full- and part-time. Interviews begin in May (interviews will be conducted at Bayshore), with training beginning in June (some at Bayshore, some at Southridge), and another round of training will begin in July.

Pay begins at $7.50 per hour. Full-time Barristers (30+ hours per week) are eligible for benefits after 90 days, including company-paid health insurance, with other benefits (such as vision and dental) available. Yes, all Barristers receive an employee-discount.

If you are interested in becoming a Barrister, please read the description and submit your resume here, or at the Bayshore store. Again, interviews begin in May, so if you are interested, please submit your resume soon.
