I can't sing the praises of this place highly enough!! Some friends and I visited because we had a few hours before dinner and we all love games so we came to play but it was my first time and I wasn't prepared for how EXCELLENT their indie TTRPG section would be!! Seriously, they had physical copies of Thousand Year Old Vampire, A Quiet Year, Eco Mofos!!!, A Mending (something I have been trying to get for YEARS after missing the Kickstarter), and so many more (I was so excited I forgot to take a picture but I found one so full disclosure the last picture of the TTRPG shelf is not mine but Nick Villanti's so please give his review some love). Also the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and they play great music too! I can't wait to go back!! Show less

Recently purchased a magic the gathering card from Rain City unfortunately it came taped to a box. I'm unsure if the card was bent during transportation by Canada post or damaged previously. It did not come in a plastic toploader. Which I found shocking. If went to a local game store they'd put any... Read more

Recently purchased a magic the gathering card from Rain City unfortunately it came taped to a box. I'm unsure if the card was bent during transportation by Canada post or damaged previously. It did not come in a plastic toploader. Which I found shocking. If went to a local game store they'd put any $10+ in a top loader. I sent an email requesting action but I haven't heard back. They contacted me and issued a refund. Show less

I went into the store to brows around for a present for my nephew as well as the interest of multiple other things j thought brought my attention. It's very unfortunate because not only was I minding my own business the manager of the store came up to me 3 times asking me what I'm looking for and even took it a step further by calling me a drug addict junkie and telling me to leave, clearly the stigma is really how this guy chooses to profile people even when I've got money a full time job and just dropped into the store to take a look around. He's disgustingly rude he put his hand on me not once but 4 separate times after I asked me to please keep his distance but that wasn't how he was handling it. I'm very understanding when it comes to the dates since this is where I spent most my life and now I'm doing better but it's extremely unfortunate that we have these kinds of people around who have absolutely no disregard for anyone else buythself I have a video of the interaction where he's not even inside the store yet still is putting his on me and assaulting me calling me all sorts of names for looking at books Show less

This game shop has a nice vibe. The staff welcomed us in very kindly and caring, and with a smile. They have a lot of games however they are a bit expensive — but the fun of playing the games is likely worth more than you’re gonna pay. They have a space in the back with lots of tables and chairs and a fan where people can pay five dollars per person for three hours to play games there. The games — in the section where you can play for three hours — are colour-coded. So you can find out which games are easier to play harder to play and specifically for two players. I think that this is an amazing addition because it will save people there so much time and it was a very respectful and caring move from the management of the store. Show less

Updating this review to reflect the response from the store/owners. I bought what turned out to be a resealed one piece tcg box. After an initial review the owner reached out very swiftly to resolve the situation. After giving a detail explanation and showing how the box had been resealed the owner offered me a replacement immediately which they did not need to do. It is also quite apparent that this store and its staff were not in any way responsible for the resealing, I have gotten plenty of sealed tcg products from them in the past and have never had any issues. While this situation could have turned me away from the store, the swift response and action on the part of the owner and the staff was quite eye opening and I will happily continue to buy sealed product here!
