Chez Geeks has been my go-to for anything board game or TCG related since the day I walked into their doors the first time, years ago. The inventory is great, and if they don't have a game, they can probably get it for you no problem. The owners are down to earth, energetic, friendly, and always cracking jokes. The store has a small-business bustle, and a warm energy that feels like you're with good friends or family, which you notice the moment you walk in. Over the years I've frequented the shop, it was also very clear that Chez Geeks is one of the best card shops on the Island of Montreal, because like any other Montréal staple (ie.: St Viateur or Schwartz's) it has dedicated, repeat customers; They always come back. Want to play something new, but don't know where to start? The owners KNOW THEIR STUFF, having designed and produced their own board games themselves! Ask them for help and they'll find you a game you love; You'll find yourself walking in whenever you're in the area! Show less

5 years agoThe pricing system on MTG singles has to change. You can't have prices listed on the website, and then have a disclaimer that "you are not buying the cards at Listed Price on our site, You are reserving them until we check their value." This is at best misleading, and at worst false advertising. Do... Read more
The pricing system on MTG singles has to change. You can't have prices listed on the website, and then have a disclaimer that "you are not buying the cards at Listed Price on our site, You are reserving them until we check their value." This is at best misleading, and at worst false advertising. Don't have the manpower to change the prices yourself? Link to websites that reliably track the price of cards. Don't keep underpriced listings from 2014 and then annoy customers because the card has gone up 50%. Otherwise, great local business doing things right. Good people, great store, but this policy should change. Show less

4 years agoThe only reason 4 stars is they focus on Magic and board games, while I'm a ttrpg player. But the staff are so wonderfully friendly and helpful that I pop in once and a while, anyway :D If they don't have something, ask. They've been happy to special order for me.

4 years agoSmall store. I went there to buy booster packs and the clerk was very helpful. I don't regret my purchases. The place could be rearranged to look bigger, but not a big deal. I would have liked to see all of the MTG boxes they had to sell rather than asking the clerk myself.

1 year agoA small, orderly store very well-stocked. The prices are fair and the staff friendly. There is ample room for customers to sit and play a few sessions. Definitely a Recommend from me.
