I love board games and puzzles, and River City Games is the place to go for anything table-top…read morerelated. I've been a customer of River City for quite a few years, and I made a trip last fall to stock up on jigsaw puzzles. The selection here is one of the best in the city, and honestly the prices were much better than Amazon or other online vendors I checked. The sales staff are very helpful, and were happy to go through their stock with me on the phone before I drove over. Along with puzzles, there are aisles of board games, and a huge section of supplies for pool tables, ping pong tables and other themed decor. I love coming here to browse, and prefer this location over their West Edmonton Mall store (which is also great) - there is more stock and more room to browse without feeling crowded.

Alright, the truth is you can probably find some of the board games here for cheaper online. The…read moreproblem is you have to wait for delivery and as we all know time = money. I've been to this location at least a dozen times. The staff is very helpful. When I was looking for a game I couldn't find it among the rows of options. The staff, seeing I was clearly looking, asked me what I was looking for and together we were able to locate it. I will say they don't have every popular or highly rated game here. However, they do have some great ones. I'd recommend you visit here because I think this location is the least busiest. Makes for quick grab and pay.

This space recently opened not far from my house, and I couldn't have asked for a better shop to…read moremove in. I thought I was pretty set for nearby-ish hobby shops, but this is closer and better than the alternatives. The absolute best thing that'll keep me coming back forever is that the folks running the place strike the perfect balance between helpful/welcoming and chill. I'm always greeted right away (even if they are busy--like participating in one of their organized tournaments) but also gave me space to browse and didn't pressure me or get overly "helpy". Even though it is a small space, they seem to have everything I want. I found paints for my Warhammer models, unique and awesome minis (sometimes hard to find good female ones and my daughter found one she wanted here immediately), lots of books for D&D that I'm probably coming back for, and Magic cards as well. There is one paint I needed that they didn't have, and they are going to order it for me. They have tournaments and games scheduled regularly and are also available for drop-in type stuff. One game I've been meaning to check out is a women-identified D&D group, huge ups for inclusivity. Bottom line: shut up and take my money. Welcome to the neighbourhood, Gamer's Den!

Went in to the store tonight and WOW!!!

I live on the north side so don't visit often and this is not my choice of LGS…read more But over the holidays my family was visiting and Taps was close to other errands so we thought it would be good to check out. They have a great selection of games: trading cards, board games, and paintables. And gaming accessories. Building is not wheelchair accessible. The gaming area is upstairs and the sales floor is cramped. I found the customer service to be just.. not helpful? They weren't rude but they certainly under explained every step of the process. I have shopped here twice and and the same odd customer service experience both times. On one visit, I traded one 1 Magic the Gathering card for in-store credit and was asked if I had done an online trade-in order. Their website does not mention that trade-ins should be done online prior to visiting the store so while at the store, I placed an online trade-in via their website and traded in the 1 card. The associate took the card to the back to the card appraiser. The appraiser came back out a few minutes later with another card for another customer and gave the associate at the till the thumbs up on my trade-in. I had requested an in-store credit, so was expecting a gift card or something physical to represent that. So the associate and the till and I just stared at each other for the most awkward 20 seconds of my life until I asked how I get my in-store credit and he finally explained to me that the credit goes onto my email on file. Ah! Thank you for telling me! A few days later I receive an email asking about my trade-in because my sell list didn't match their records. It was cleared up no problem with a few emails back and forth, but makes for another awkward customer service experience. I have placed 2 online orders, both with errors. The first was a couple dollars difference and the second was less than one dollar difference. Not a huge deal but annoying since I didn't notice until I was home. I will double check any future orders while in store.

Their new space feels cozy but it larger than I expected it to be. It is bright and colourful, particularly in the juvenile section. Their focus is on graphic novels, comics, and manga andy do a great job choosing featured books to fit their community. They also sell a collection of action figures, toys, and games with something for everyone. I most recently visited on Free Comic Book day (first saturday in May!) and they did a great job making it a fun, engaging experience with artist guests and activities. Rolling Tales is a great addition to the downtown community!
