There is an extensive library of board games available, with a collection available for playing on-site, renting for a few weeks (members perk), or purchasing. Because they are a games shop, they may have a larger variety of games in stock.

Since COVID, they have implemented more measures like restricting the number of people allowed inside and putting games into "quarantine" before another group can...

Sep2022: Exceptional customer service and friendly owners.

On several occasions, the owners were willing to place special orders for GMT wargames that were not carried by other local retailers, greatly appreciated. Well stocked online store too.

The store also maintains an active Meetup schedule for board gaming and rpg groups. Plus they have a large, lending games library with a good mix of games, something that no longer exists at many other games retailers in the GTA, if they support in store gaming at all, aside from MTG and other trading card games.

One of the better board gaming stores in the GTA and well worth visiting if you're looking for a game or to...
