Very small store, but the staff were super helpful and knowledgeable about the games I was looking for to give as gifts. Not as big a selection compared to other game stores in the city, but it was cool to see the numerous options they had for chess sets available.

I ordered a half-dozen chess accessories on their website Wednesday morning and by afternoon, they had already shipped. Received everything in perfect condition by Thursday morning!Excellent service experience, will definitely be coming back to Strategy Games in the future.

It was a good store and my son played with the shopkeeper and he beat the shopkeeper. If you want to play with him , just ask him.?

Walked in to look at buying some board games and the cashier ended up harassing me and my partner, threatened to fight me, told my partner she “looked native”, complained ab his mom and his “manager who’s 400 pounds and can play chess 4 ways blindfolded”. Overall an awful experience.

Went in to buy a set of die on sunday, the guy in the shop was completely unprofessional. Asked him for the dice, and he tried asking me what instruments i played, kept trying to sell me on playing metallica. And just kept avoiding my questions about the die. Finally got to see the die they had. And $16 sticker price wasnt completely unreasonable, figured id be paying maybe $19 tops after taxes, but the guy tried charging me $25 for a set of basic d&d dice, and was just going off about how the place was "non-profit"Ill bet its "not profiting" because this clown keeps upcharging people, and driving away business.

I stopped in a few weeks ago for an introductory chess set. The store operator took the time to answer some of my questions about the game and made some recommendations on some books I could start with/ a club in Ottawa I could look into. Overall I was very pleased with the customer service and will be returning when I want to upgrade my set

I was really excited about the existence of this store! They specialize in strategy games like chess, shogi, gomoku, etc. But also have a great selection of some neat games as well. I loved that they had a 2 player games section. Will definitely be back!

Great experience. There were so many products + options to choose from. The owner was very informative and helpful. I ended up buying a great set of wooden chess pieces. Definitely a must-visit if you are in the Ottawa area!

I called in earlier to check if they had the board game I wanted. They said yes and I asked them to hold onto it for me. However, when I got there it wasn’t the same board game they said they had so was kind of disappointed. I was exact on the version and type of board game I wanted. I did walk around the store a bit and they did have a good selection of board games and goods for others out there. Personally, I don’t really want to waste my time and go back. Hopefully everyone else can find what they are looking for. P.S don’t trust their website it tricked me as well.

This place seems to be well liked, and I'm going against the grain here. I was looking for a specific game and having a hard time finding it locally. The store website was not helpful, so gave a call over. Left a message. After 6 hours with no callback, headed to the store where we got a less than warm welcome. Asked for help, got minimal guidance. Found out they were sold out. No attempt to say "hey, people who like that game also seem to enjoy this game". Overall felt that we were an interruption, as opposed to a sales opportunity or valued customer. I ended up ordering online and saved $20. We like to support local and will pay a premium to do so, but, they gotta help us.

Kudos to Dave at the store who recommended me a Drueke magnetic travel chess set that holds the position on the board firmlier than my old set. I dropped this position off the side of my car's driver seat and the position stayed 99.7% intact! I would have lost both my position and my pieces for sure if I had been playing on my old set instead! Thanks!
