K&B Hobbies and Games — Local services in Area B (Westside/Swan Lake/Kalamalka Lake)

This is THE place to buy your board games (or Gunpla, or video games & movie soundtracks, or whatever cool new nerd/geek hobbyist thing Kyle decides to start stocking... Haha). And if you aren't local to the area, you can order online!

The selection of games is vast and varied, with multiple Kickstarter titles and other hard to find items, but if you still don't see what you're looking for Kyle is always willing to check with his suppliers to try and bring it in for you. There is a great local community of gamers and hobbyists that frequent the space for stay and play nights (currently Thursdays and Fridays) that bring and play a whole gamut of games from quick and light casual fare, to complex and weightier games that take the whole evening to dive into.

They also run other events about once a month or so like Gunpla/model building days with experienced builders there to help teach new folks, card and board game tournaments, and I'm sure there's even more going on than I realize.

This shop is what you get when you have a life long gamer/hobbyist who decides to open up his own store, and prioritizes fostering the community around it. Kyle's doing fantastic work and his care and passion can be seen in every corner...

Stopped in on Saturday and Kyle was awesome. While it seemed a little out of the way to find, it wasn't too bad... and after heading upstairs, it was warm and comforting. Kyle has an amazing collection of games if you want to hang out and play, and an even more amazing collection of games if you're looking for the latest, and hard to find games that are topping the charts right now. I found it very difficult to only pick up the game / expansion I was there to grab. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in Vernon or passing through. Kyle's philosophy of bringing in the lastest kickstarter games so you can either buy, or give the growing a collection a try in the stay and play area is amazing and makes gaming so much more accessible for everyone. Highly recommend checking...

Brought my husband and brother-in-law to check things out, as I’m not so much into the board games as they are, and they were both very excited to see the selection Kyle had! It was nice to see he had a space for people to come and play a huge variety of games for free too! (During certain hours that is). Highly recommend checking them out! He even said if there’s something you’re looking for, he would do his best to special order it for you! A great place, although a little out of the way, but certainly worth it! Go give em a shot! You’ll be...
