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

This store was great !! I loved looking at all the old…read moreschool & new board/card games they had. They had soooo much !! 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.

This place makes for a great time…read more There are less third spaces these days but this is an underrated one. They have starter packs for magic and has a bunch of board games. The service was friendly and they have a solid selection. Parking might be a little rough given the location.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Easily one of my favourite places to nerd out at. And DEFINITELY my favourite place to nerd out at…read morein the GTA. 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.

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.

In a perfect world I'd like my cards back and to refund the $60 bought them for.
