    Good selection of games, nice staff. Walked in one day and the staff were talking with a customer about the difference between Eldar and Drukhari, my sort of place. Nerdtopia.

    We had a very special experience. My son(5 years old) is getting into Pokémon cards and wanted to use his allowance to buy his first pack. We told the owner how excited he was to get his first pack and when we bought the pack he told my son that his “cash register” told him that the pack he bought was a buy one get another free. His face lit up Christmas. Very happy day for us. Thanks Mr store owner man, you’re awesome.

    Basically crooks. Ordering direct from Games Workshop is cheaper than buying from here. They get away with it cuz they the only store of its kind in town. My advice to this place. Share your discount and stop inflating your profile with phony reviews, you suck so bad that most of us have decided we may as well drive to frickin Hamilton. Lying just makes u look worse.

    Big fan, the store is well decorated and very cozy feeling. They have plenty of selection when it comes to miniatures for D&D and Warhammer, and even more for their standalone tabletop games. Plus the employees were all very friendly and extremely knowledgeable to boot. Would recommend for anyone who wants to get into D&D or Warhammer or if you just like board games and are looking for something new.

    Store has what I need but not the customer service I want. Walk in with my wife, guy behind the counter can't be bothered to put a single word together to greet us and instead awkwardly stares us down. And it's not easy to drown out the stares when there is no music playing in the store. Another customer walked in and he immediately got into conversation with him. Was looking for a gift and a bunch of sealed magic product or myself and after a few minutes in the store I realized I'd rather give my money to someone else.

    We went here for the first time last week. We were pleasantly surprised by the selection of board games available. We didn't know what to expect because there wasn't much info on the website, but if you're after a board game this place won't disappoint!

    Great atmosphere, friendly space and a great selection of miniatures, board games and trading card games. Lots of Magic the Gathering cards to look through and a variety of booster packs available for purchase at a great price!

    One of my favorite tabletop game stores. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of product, huge mini selection. Only complaint is parking is rough, but that's a city issue

    Great store. Usually has what I need and if they don't they can order it for you. Never any pressure on upselling or anything like that. Game space in the back is great for all kinds of games. I get a lot of paints and brushes from here too. Overall a great shop.

    Amazing service, always able to help you find a board game on the rare chance they don't have it in their store already. I'm not local to St. Catherine's but it's always worth the drive

    Really cool selection, and they always have good advice and reccomendations! I get a lot of my DMing supplies here.

  • 5/5 Robyn H. 2 years ago on Google
    My son has attended a few D&D camps at the store and the overall environment is one of inclusivity and encouragement. Hunter is probably one of the kindest and enthusiastic store owners I've had the pleasure of talking to. He really goes above and beyond, especially with the kiddos. Highly highly recommend!

    If you like finding unique board games for a family or friends game night, or for a long haul adventure, this is the place to go in St Catharines! The selection is huge and their staff are always there to help.

  • 5/5 MegaMega S. 2 years ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The staff here was great, super helpful, offered suggestions on some green colour swaps for paints because they didn't have the one I was looking for. And their suggestions came out amazingly. Very friendly, and knowledgeable, you can tell that they really enjoy what they do.

😠 I bought a munchpak and loved it. I purchased another one but received the same one. Tried to return or exchange and they would not do anything for me. Terrible management. Luckily Munchpak sent me a new and exclusive pack. All of the Munchpaks are the same and now discounted. Slap in the face.
