Part of our approach to opening a local gaming store has been to create the building blocks for community. Instead of just selling games and keeping a shop, we’re trying to connect local gamers with like minded people and create a community around being a healthy, happy person. In doing so, our greater gaming community becomes stronger every day!

We’re the spot in town for local gamers to play and hang out. Between weekly Magic: the Gathering tournaments and a thriving miniature wargaming community, we run tabletop roleplaying games and we’ve got an awesome community behind us that is always open to new players. Our TV’s are always streaming twitch, speed runs and old school cartoons and best of all, we work really hard to make sure our store is inclusive and beneficial to the gaming community.

I recently moved to Brantford, I was searching for a place to play Magic the Gathering. What I found was a great place with a great group of people. MTG, Wargaming, and Board Games what more can you look for?

Every week, we host a lively podcast featuring over 100 hours of conversation between our two hosts, Bill and Wyatt. The show regularly welcomes guests from our local gaming scene, notable personalities from the internet, and anyone else we can convince to chat with us for an hour. Focused primarily on pop culture and gaming, the discussions often meander into the shared philosophies of life between our two over-thinking hosts.

The show has been running for about two years now. After a particularly damaging event involving an unruly web server, many of our older episodes had to be archived here. Since then, all the newer episodes have been available on iTunes and other popular podcast platforms. We’re always on the lookout for new guests or compelling stories to keep the conversation fresh. Got someone in mind? Feel free to reach out and contact us!

From debates about our top 5 video games of all time to deep dives into world peace and solving hunger, Bill and Wyatt are known for their honesty and willingness to explore even the most tangential topics. Tune in every week via our website or download episodes directly to your device to catch the next hilarious Smarties vs. M&M’s monthly argument.

After listening to the latest episode, why not grab a bite? For delicious and authentic Italian fare, check out DiPietro’s Pizza Restaurant, where every dish is crafted with care and tradition.

If you prefer a hearty sandwich or classic deli comfort food, Noah’s Deli is the perfect spot for satisfying meals that hit the spot.

Looking for a refreshing drink to fuel your podcast marathon? The Canastas Bakery & Restaurant offers an array of energizing coffees and teas, perfect for keeping your mind sharp and your energy high.

Enjoy thick, golden crust and gooey cheese at Chicago’s Pizza Detroit—the ultimate spot for pizza lovers. After your meal, unwind with a sweet, rolled ice cream creation from Rocky’s Place Ice Cream.
