NOTE TO OUR WALK-IN CUSTOMERS: Because of you we continue to survive and grow; it's that simple. We understand the economics of the online alternatives, but your continued support has makes it possible for us to celebrate our 32nd year as one of the longest running game stores in the country.

& Then
Here's a very old picture of the site where our store is now.
Our
best estimate for the date of this image is between 1914-1930.
The work done to convert these houses is truly amazing.
I'm not sure it is even done today. Basically, they "raised"
the old 1st floor (and above) on jacks, and inserted retail space in its
place.
The original cellar was left in tact, and numerous column supports were
added as seen above.
Then, approximately 50 years later, we became the tenant in 1978.
You can click the image to enlarge.
E-mail us if you can ID the truck, and from that or anything else
nail down the year.
Special note to Alan Moon: The sign on the panel truck says,
"Expert Hat Cleaning" ..... Wer Hat Mehr indeed!
What's new & coming soon to our Pittsburgh Store: For various reasons, many items that we stock in our store are not for sale on the web. For example, many wooden games like Crokinole, Go, other Classic games, and especially CHESS need to be seen, touched and compared to recognize the quality & workmanship. A picture can be very misleading, so stop in and browse.
NEWS:
Stop in and meet Kylie Primus, the newest member of our staff. He has a wealth of knowledge
of Board Games in general and Euro Games specifically. We are really lucky to have him with us.We HAVE started our TRADE IN Program , for our in store customers. If you have games you
don't like or games that just no longer hit the table anymore, trade for something you'll
actually play. There are some general interest games, social games, trivial, Euro, card and even
hitorical simulation games. The selection is growing quickly.An unexpected scary Halloween trip to "The Dungeon" (our dark basement) revealed the
discovery of a sealed carton (6) of 1979's Avalon Hill/Sports Illustrated Auto Racing Game.Check our page

It just seems to never stop. Here's a few more titles due soon that will

It allows for a 5th player, decorations, a new workplace in the village, new cards, and new huts to expand the world. Vlaada Chvatil's latest will be Dungeon Petz. It's a stand alone which ties to the Dungeon Lords game. |

Confusion: Espionage & Decepotion in the Cold War is a highly
deductive strategic game for 2 players. Think Stratego but you can only
see your opponents pieces, not your own. Think of the possibilities...

King of Tokyo: New by R. Garfield Elder Signs: A Call of Cthulhu/Arkham Horror entry A final restock of Letters from Whitechapel until a new company grabs it. (Mfr is going out of business) Get Bit a NEW Card game 2-6 players. Great filler, fast play & easy to learn. Cute bits representing swimmers trying to get to shore before the shark piece tears you apart piece by piece in hangmanlike fashion. |
Finca,a very good game that has been for the most part flying under the radar, is now OOP. I hope Jay reprints it soon. We're also running short of Space Alert, Letters from Whitechapel, Pandemic and several others. |
