FLGS of the World - A List of Game Store Advice on BGG | BoardGameGeek

Sure.

(BaSL)

Netherlands
Rijen
Noord Brabant

This is a list of game stores around the world - found on BGG. BGG is a great place to ask advice on where the good stores can be found. Of all the posts I've read so far, there are just a few that couldn't be answered.

In this post I've tried to arrange the threads on gamestores by country. I don't want to link to gamestore websites, because you can find those yourself. Furthermore: these links give you advice from fellow BGG'ers; where to go and what to avoid.

If you spot any mistakes (especially on the US regions...and possible wrong links), please tell.

Please remember: BGG'ers like to link. So a lot of threads will link to other threads. Clicking around the links in this post will probably get you some of the same threads. And some threads don't have that much info or it may be outdated. Sorry about that. Please tell if additional info should be added.

The names in brackets are just an indication; most of the times people are asking for or getting info on stores in that region.

Here's a weird post. But Ender pointed out to me that his thread was deleted and a link is still up on the list, so I'll just copy&paste it here and link to it in the list. Right? Right.

Subject: Game stores in Port Huron MI area?

Unfortunately neither source helped me come up with any leads. Google helped me find a store called "Pastime Hobbies", website here:
http://www.simplifiedinternetdesign.com/pastime-hobbies
But if anyone in the Port Huron area can give me any pointers to good FLGS, I'm sure my friend would be most appreciative.

There's a relatively new FLGS in Fredericksburg, VA that I would definitely recommend over the other one listed here.

http://www.thegamevault.net/

It's located West of I-95 off of Rt. 3.

They've got a nice, new clean store with bright shelves/displays and a good deal of space committed to tables for board games, rpgs, ccgs, and even free wi-fi for computer gaming.

Aldie added BGG Guilds. I'm not really sure how this is going to work, but there is a Gamestore subforum/group now.

Misc >> Guilds >> Game Store

There you'll find stores by location as well (as BGG Guilds). Waiting to see what happens there and what it will mean for this list.
