Rain City Games is a friendly local game store in Downtown Vancouver. It features new and classic board games, roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, and sealed and single Magic: The Gathering cards, alongside multiple jigsaw puzzle brands. The store has a wide variety of games and a board game library section. It hosts in-store games and events for various games. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, making customers feel welcome right away. They highlight games created by Canadian and local designers. The store has a drop-in area to play games as a group. While some note it can be cheaper online, many find the prices fairly reasonable. The store handles issues, such as issuing a refund for a damaged card shipment. Customers report it is a favorite local store where they purchase and pre-order games without issues, and families love it for gifts.
My closest shop for Pokémon cards, D&D, wargaming stuff, and board games. Their prices are very fair too, we always walk out with something. Love the staff too.
