It's like walking into a cave troll's den. There's a lot of crap in here, and by crap I mean stuff…read moreyou probably won't want to buy. Apparently it's just surplus stock. Admittedly, it's okay to kill time in, if you don't mind having to root around like a truffle hunting hog, but it manages to combine strange selection (I found a bunch of Tron action figures) with strangely high prices. You might find a good value, or something. It violates pretty much every rule of retail in terms of organization and presentation, being more like a massive single retailer basement rummage sale. It's a shame, since the downtown store has been improving and the junction store is a good venue. I guess this is the picture in the attic.

It's been 6 years since I've been here and it's nice to see they survived the pandemic…read more Still a large library of board games available, both for purchase and to play in store. Apparently they also offer a consignment service where you can sell your products through them? Not too sure the details but there are shelves full of seemingly random stuff so if you're looking for an escrow to help sell valuables this could be an option..... You can come in and play games all day for a flat price of $7 (up from $5 six years ago, which is impressive). Have to bring in your own drinks though as there's no cafe although I guess fantuan does exist. Maybe there's a fridge of canned drinks I wasn't paying attention. There is also an annual membership that you can buy that includes various perks including a discount rate of $5 to sit and play Owner is friendly and knowledgeable and can teach various games, so if you're looking to learn something new or bring in a group for a board game event, this place is a fantastic option.

It wasn't stinky in here from sweat which was a huge plus. They had a clean bathroom, which was amazing. Got some Pokemon cards for a decent price and pulled a nice card.

The place is bustling with activity on the weekend, with many tables filled with people playing various card games. Gives off chill vibes, and because the ceilings are super high and the place is well lit, doesn't have that depressing basement dungeon-feel that some card shops have heh. Extensive selection of cards being sold, a little limited when it comes to board games and gacha boxes. The staff are always friendly and enthusiastic about the wares. Sometimes there are special events like local artist markets.

They also have a good selections of Pokemon seals and cards, including both raw single and slabs. This place is a neat if you need to look for TCG cards and products. If you're a collector, definitely worth a stop. They have 3 machines outside, including Pokemon cards. My kids were able to try that machine out and got one of the top chase card from Obsidian Flames.

Located in what appears to be a China town area of Toronto in the basement of a modern building is…read morea treasure trove for board gamers, role players and miniature gamers. The word mart is well chosen - if the aisles were wider trolleys would be the order of the day - think a cross between Whole Foods and Home Depot for gamers. The rear of the store is dedicated to board games ordered a-z with a vast selection. Paints and model supplies are broad with all major brands represented - normally I see in a store 1-2 brands - here it's half a dozen, guaranteeing pretty much any hue you are looking for. The staff are friendly and know where things are - after a while it just becomes easier to ask for help as it can be overwhelming. Great fun.

The store has tons of staff to help you with tons of questions and they are all nerds of their own type too. The staff were friendly when I was here. They were attentive, and wanted to help all people just randomly browsing the store. Their selection of board games is huge, and they have an area of paints too for those who do paint figurines too.They literally have all your nerd stuff here in the middle of Downtown Toronto. I loved it. And to have a huge community of players to play MTG in the back of the store too, that was just epic. I registered for a night for EDH and the community is helpful and nice too. Will come again in the future for some more community nights!!

BUYERS BEWARE!!! stay away from this crooked seller unless you don't care for them to steal your money. highly NOT recommended

Food and drinks available. $14 for entry and 3 hour of game play. $4 of which can go towards the cost of a food or drink item. Lavish drink menu, fries, latte, grill cheese good no complaints. Each table has hand sanitizer which was great. Water jug and cups provided. Some of the games you could tell was well used and played. 6+ people or more service charge for the table and cannot split the bill. Washrooms downstairs. Over clean and nice place though I found the music was a bit loud had to shout to hear others across the table.

Great board game store to visit with a date or group of friends…read more Came here in person at rush hour to pick up a game, as I didn't want to pay for shipping online. It's located in Richmond Hill in the business/warehouse district off a windy road called West Beaver Creek. The address is easy to find, lots of free plaza parking, it's next to a kids dance studio and very visible store sign. Nothing sus like another yelper stated. Inside is very spacious, clean and bright. I love how organised the shelving for new games were laid out and they even more games in back. Off the walk in, I was greeted immediately and four employees were excited to help me. They are game experts and could name off suggestions for games quickly, to pair with similar games I had in mind. Super fun to nerd off in the board game world here! I always cross reference with boardgamegeek.com first when planning to new purchases, but asked them in person to see if opinions lined up. I was impressed one employee was quick to suggest ones I never heard of. Prices are good to fair. I felt no pressure to buy anything there, they even offered if I wanted to test ones that they have opened or to get a feel of the pieces(card game quality for kid durability is real). I left with buying three games I had eyed online, and excited for the suggestions for the next visit. They have a free loyalty program, can't hurt to sign up when you're a board game investor, as this is one place to bookmark. No food or cafe noticed here, unlike other board game places. Maybe one day as they are still new.
