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.

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.

Finally a nerd store that gets it!…read more I've never been to X Planet prior to Thursday. I've recently come across some free time, and was looking for painting supplies as opposed to models as I have lots of unpainted guys. I cannot recall the name of the fellow working there who introduced himself to me. Sorry. We even had a 10 minute conversation, and I can't recall his name. The store seems to be modelled after a GW layout, with lots of gaming tables in the front with full scenery to get your attention Having been to a number of comic book stores that morphed into gaming stores it was so refeshing to walk into a non-GW gaming store that was clean, uncluttered and did not smell. They had a small RPG section in the store, but that's not the crux of their business. There's a tonne of Privateer Press and GW product in the store. They even had Warhammer Fantasy Battalion boxes in store. My wallet started to drool. Anyways off to the painting stuff which was why I was there. They had Vallejo Game, and Model, and the airbrush versions too. I believe that there was GW paint as well. They had a couple of the bigger Vallejo paint sets (the $300+ ones) but I wish that they had the 8 and 16 bottle sets They also carry Citadel Paint Really liked the store. I'll definitely come back in the future. Plus its closer to my house than the two that I recently reviewed in Brampton.

I've loved this shop for so many years, and I'm slapping myself why I haven't written a review yet…read more This is a hidden gem tucked in the basement next to the TD in Chinatown. One of the cheapest spots in the city to pick up a board game. The pros are they have a massive collection, a giant library filled with rows and rows of games and collectibles. If I'm in the area, I used to stop by to peruse because I'm that kind of geek. I honestly haven't made them exercise their customer service skills because I research my board games and know exactly what I want. But I can see that newbies could be overwhelmed with all the options coming in. We decided to buy a board game for a friend's child, age 6. My boyfriend ran off to find a game at Meeple without consulting me first. He came out empty-handed, saying there was nothing suitable for that age range. I'm SURPRISED. There's a board game for everything there. I'm not an expert for games for six-year-olds, so I just Googled, found a dad blog and decided Catan Junior was it and purchased online here. They processed our order immediately and were ready for pick up the same day if needed. The truth is my BF was about to check out at Indigo, which is 30% more before I reminded him to check at Meeple again for prices. The only difference *I think* is the packaging art is slightly different and the box is larger at Meeple. If their staff actively asks every customer walking in and tries to help, they can convert more casual or newbie gamers--what a lost opportunity.

I ended up buying my son a belated Birthday Gift from there that he wanted. It was a funny card game called "Joking Hazard". We played it the rest of the weekend, it was really fun. The prices were really quite outrageous, but the selection was amazing. The employees were pretty nice & the one guy took care of me pretty quickly. Walking around & looking at the Board Games , Card Games, Puzzles , Hockey Cards , + other stuff was so much fun. I wanted to buy so much, but could not afford to. If I had the money though I would've . I loved all the retro games that I had when I was young. If it wasn't for the prices,the store would be perfect.

Never again! I went…read moreto this horrible place with my kids, and the experience was extremely unpleasant. The salesman with long hair became visibly anxious as soon as we entered the store and immediately started blaming my kids for an already-opened plastic bag. The attitude was completely unnecessary and uncomfortable. My kids were also blamed for touching the squishies, which are literally products being sold to children. There are much better ways to speak to customers and children. We definitely won't be coming back.

A whole wall of punny video game t-shirts, lots of old merchandise, enthusiastic, motivated and nerdy staff.... I could go on and on. I had a wonderful time exploring this store! There's a section in the back with a bunch of tables and chairs for tabletop gaming such as cards, board games, etc. If I didn't have to worry about traveling on a plane, there are many things in that store I could've purchased. But for any type of gamer, this place is absolutely worth checking out. Enjoy this experience!!!
