The Game Fortress — Local services in Novato

I love this place! The owner that I met is super cool too. I gave him lots of props for what they did to the place and taking such a risk for a business of this type in Downtown Novato.

Let's take it from the top.

When you enter the place, it is CLEAN! It like the owner has a background in interior handiwork. Wall trim, baseboards, column trim is all expertly done. The "Fortress" theme carries on in the interior with stone wall facades in the front and rear of the store. They also have little details like swords and flags hanging throughout the store.

A really nice touch.

They specialize in role playing games and host events where customers can come in and play together. I don't participate but I really support any type of community engagement.

They also have a wide range of board games, cards, figures, paints and even stuffy's!

The gentlemen heard my story in only needing a d20, and honestly I could’ve came back. He pulled in to his private stash and gave me a die, all while competently explaining the D&D items and services available in the store. He won a customer in knowledge, attentiveness and kindness....

This store is awesome! They listen to customer feedback and order games that they don't have in stock (which feels very few and far between as they have a HUGE stock!) immediately which leads to the product getting to their store in a timely manner. The employees welcome you in like a friend and have fostered an amazing welcoming culture in store because of it! I go in every Tuesday and Friday night to play Magic the Gathering and always leave with a smile on my face. I've also been shown new games I had never heard of because the owners and employees are very knowledgeable and able to recommend games that both my family and my boardgame fanatic friends greatly enjoy! I cannot recommend The Game...
