This place is pretty much dedicated to all kinds of games, from board games to computer games…read more What I love is that while they have all the usual well known board games but they also stock heaps of games I've never heard of. I find it a great place to shop for my husband who is into games in a big way. It's great being able to buy something that I know he will love and actually use. Good Games also have an online store, though I don't think you can beat actually going into the store and browsing through the shelves.

The new place in Box Hill is larger with a lot more room for competition play which is always a…read moreplus. However in the heart of Box Hill parking becomes a nightmare (not to mention a lot of it is ticketed). However, if you're new to any aspect of these kind of games, they'll sure let you know it. For example, I'm a veteran MTG player, but never ordered single cards from there before. So when tell the guy I've got an order that just came in, asks what I ordered. I told him I could give him an order number (the order was quite large) so he replies, "what did you order". So I start to rattle off card for card what I ordered and he stops me and says, "So you have a singles order. That's what you had to say." A little help would've been nice instead of making me feel like a complete noob. Overall, store and contents great, staff and location, not so much.

The Y.E.S Op Shop has great vibes as well as great stock. There is so much variety in the objects…read moreon the shelves that visiting the shop is like going treasure hunting; there's a lot of junk, but also plenty of good finds. The shop is run by volunteers to fund education qualifications for young people and the disadvantaged. They rely on donations of all their stock. They sell items inclusive of clothing, dvds, cds, books, toys and bric-a-brac. They only take quality items that are in good condition so there aren't any shockingly horrible things in there. The atmosphere is pretty friendly. People pop in and out as much to have a chat as to pick up something from the shop. The prices are fairly reasonable - the nicer and the newer an item the higher the price. It is logical. There are some prices that are a little higher than I would expect for an op shop but it is all going to a good cause so complaining is definitely not an option. There is also quite a large range of furniture and decor items in this op shop - definitely check it out.
