On a recent visit to the village of Ganges, we popped into this game store, and had a fantastic conversation with who we assume is the proprietor. He asked us about some of our favorite games, and then recommended a couple of new ones that we hadn’t heard of. We ended up buying Cascadia, which recently won some awards. We played it twice on the ferry back to the mainland and had a good time. Recommended.

This game shop is an absolute treasure! We walked in and were delighted to find every game on our list and more. The gentleman who helped us was incredible—so friendly, enthusiastic, and beyond knowledgeable. He greeted every person who walked in with the same warm energy and joy. It was like walking into a place that truly loves what they do. Such a fantastic experience!

Such an amazing shop! The owner is an incredible person who is dedicated to creating a quality business that enriches the saltspring community. Lots of weekly events are held for the public to participate in and I've had the pleasure to sit down with the owner and learn some games before. 10/10 game store with something for everyone.

This shop has morphed and adapted over the years. It's always a pleasure to get to see just what state it finds itself in whenever I get the chance to stop by.
The fact that it exists on Salt Spring makes the island that much richer a place to visit.
Does it have a deep catalogue of games to grab and play? Nope.
Does it have all the latest TCGs and the packs you just need to open? Nope.
Does it have that one colour you just absolutely can't find and need to have to finish painting your collection? Nope.
Does it have a single weird closet that's part storage of gaming's glory, part goods to acquire and completely intriguing with its nuance? Yup.
You don't need all of everything to be an awesome game shop. To be great, you need good people and the right mix of things presented in just such a way so that they can speak for themselves.

Do you want more fun, connection and play in your life? Do you want your kids or friends to spend less time on their devices? If yes, drop into this incredible gem in Ganges. Brian is pure magic, not only in his knowledge of games but how to get player buy in and in human psychology. He spent about an hour with my kids and I helping us find a game that would be a good fit for all. Not an easy task because my 15 year old is all about history and strategy while my 12 year old wanted something fun and simple. His enthusiasm is infectious and his generosity is truly remarkable. We left with Harmonies, a game he recommended and borrowed Photosynthesis so that we can try something different.
This shop has something for everyone and even if you’re not into games, I bet Brian could find one you’d like. It’s also a great stop if you’re having a bad day, Brian will cheer you up!
