It's time for a more positive look at this store, from a brick and mortar perspective. I have never…read moreordered or bought or sold cards here, but this is a nice board game store. Is it the best, or the cheapest board game store in the city? No. But, is it a great board game store, with very good prices, that almost anywhere else would be the number one destination? I'd say yes. If you like the hobby, by all means, come on in. They actually received shipment of some new titles before any other stores in the city had them, which is incredible. It means getting them on the table those few days earlier, and in the world of board gaming that can make a pretty big difference. It's a nice place to walk around. And you might even overhear the staff talking about how they can't tell time. And then talking about how silly it is that the others can't tell time. All you have to do is say what number the big hand is at, for the hour, and the small hand for the minutes. And then another staff talking about how that's not right at all. It's cute. It's quirky. Recommended.

Pros - lots of product and competitive market pricing…read more Cons - items listed are not conditioned well enough. There's no pictures or scans. When inquiring I got the answer order anyway, and request refund if it doesn't meet standards. No? I'm not risking buying a product that may or may not meet standard. They list product as "played" so that could mean anything. I ended up ordering 4 near mint cards but some of them were light play in my opinion. This is where scans on the site would help the consumer if they don't want to help the consumer when inquiring about a product. Nothing I ordered was over 10 bucks a piece but I probably won't be trusting their near mint conditioning anymore and will choose another site over this one when ordering cards. The letter mail is also slow. Took exactly 2 weeks to get to my door and that's within the same province. Average experience overall. If near mint to you is more than a couple white dots on the card you will be satisfied. If not, choose wisely.

We have such a good time when we come here. We usually come to get Magic the Gathering cards, and…read morewhile the prices are sometimes a little inflated (to be expected, with all the scalping going on), it's still a fair enough option in the neighbourhood. 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.

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.

My experience with these guys was great. I used their app and was able to find the type of game…read morethat I was looking to play. They have a great way of narrowing it down. I was unable to ask for it to be delivered on a certain day and it came in a brand bag and even had three bags of popcorn in it. What a nice touch We got a trivia game and a betting /someone trivia game. They were both in great condition and they had a contents list that was laminated inside. And all the cards had protective sleeves over them so it was great for keeping everything fresh as well as cleaning anything between customers. I opted to drop it off myself instead of paying for it to be picked up. They close at seven so it was a little tight for me with when I finish work but I was able to get them back. It was really hard to find. They have a sandwich sign that sometimes gets knocked down in the wind and it wasn't clear inside what way I needed to go to find the place. I love this idea though the fact that you can rent boardgames instead of having to buy them is perfect. You could really step up your game night game

Had a poor experience with this store. They sold me a defective deck box, and when I went to…read moreexchange it, they told me they couldn't do that since it had been opened. There would have been no way to know it was defective without opening it. Then they told me to "speak to Konami about that," knowing very well that's basically an impossible task.

They also regularly hold events which many dedicated people come out to attend. I wholeheartedly reccomend Dolly's for a great time.

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.

Legends has extremely competitive pricing (Games Workshop stuff usually 20% off!) and a very nice selection of board games, comic books, cards, minatures, and geeky merch (I definitely picked up a Rainbow Dash mug on my last visit here.) If they don't have something that you have your eye on, you can connect with them to see if they will order it for you (which they likely will, if they can!) Really flexible hours of operation, open late many nights of the week, and there are constantly events occuring here. They have a fairly large, well-lit, and clean gaming space in the back. Customer service here is quite friendly. I'd HIGHLY reccomend checking out Legends if you are in/around the Vaughan area to get your geek on :).

Legends is my go-to store for all my tabletop games. It's so close to my house that it's almost…read moredangerous. The first time I came here I left with 3 games! It's like Walmart lol you go in for one thing and leave with 10. There's a pretty good selection of board games, both popular and obscure. If they don't have what you're looking for they'll gladly order it for you and give you a call when it comes in. The guys who work there are all very nice and very knowledgeable. The first time I came, I was still fairly new to tabletop gaming so I wasn't sure what to get. I had my eyes set on Agricola but after talking to the associate I realized I wasn't ready for such a heavy euro game just yet. The associate asked us what we liked and then basically went through their entire collection with us, pointing out and explaining various games that he thought would appeal to us. You don't get customer service like that anymore! All the games are also much cheaper than you would find at Chapters or Mastermind Games. They've also got tons of other nerd stuff like comic books, figurines, and superhero paraphernalia. The store is located in the back of the plaza so it's difficult to find if you don't know where to look.

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.
