The shop was a wide selection of games, with the best collection of battletech lead models that I have seen in Ottawa.There is also a large gaming area.

It's a classic hobby shop. The clerks are a couple of classic nerds. You have about 60+ years of collective gaming experience in that shop. you want to start a game with seasoned players? their bulletin board is always full of dm's and players looking for games. they regularly host events playing and show casings game. the people giving 1 stars are the kind of customers you DONT want in your business (you've worked a job serving customers. You already know they type...) for any who genuinely likes tabletop gaming. Fandom II is the original in ottawa.

My wife and I went all around downtown ottawa today looking for game stores, between Fandom 2, Imaginaire, the comic book shoppe, hobbiesville, and strategy games.The only places that are worth buying from are here (Fandom2) and Imaginaire (new @rideau center) .Fandom 2 was a great experience, with lots to look at, with fair prices and great deals, unlike the other hobby stores.The owner is the one who served us, and we had nothing but pleasant conversation. He DOES take credit cards, but because of the steep fees he PREFERS people to pay with debit.The store is quite well organized, it may feel a little dingy, but it's an independent business, it smelled fine and had no glaring damage, the negative reviews are far too extreme on this place.Overall Fandom 2 is a monument to old Gaming stores, particularly DnD, anyone who is a true fan will love this store!

Ground Zero for nerds in Ottawa for decades. For those who get that, going here is a kind of pilgrimage to old D&D, miniatures and gaming. Inside it's a big of a gong show, the place is musty and the basement is something Stephen King would write about but, having said that, what do you want? It's got character, it's authentic, it's real. It's exactly the way you think a nerdy hobby shop would be after (30? 40?) years in business. Same with the owner. He's helpful if you ask and knows more about gaming than anyone short of Gary Gygax. if you don't get that, go to a mall.

I was hesitant to visit this shop, due to some of the negative reviews posted here, but I have been twice now and have had only positive experiences.A good selection of hobby supplies, especially for 40k and Star Wars Legion/Shatterpoint enthusiasts.

This place is more like sacred ground for the gaming community than a normal gaming store. Think the movie "Up" but with rows of ancient gaming texts instead of balloons.And yes, part of that includes the legendary, grumpy, old owner Randy. With him comes his coterie of awkward staff and hanger-ons.... And with all of that comes an audio book's worth of lore and grumpy advice/comments about this game or that as well as what's going on in the community.If you are cool with that, enjoy your time there while it lasts, and if you are even braver, explore Randy's basement, where not even cellphone signal dares tread...The prices are also better because they don't take credit and pass on the savings. Not the most accessible place mentally or physically so I don't blame anyone who doesn't like it there.But just remember... Think "up"

Kritfayle is a rpg podcast8ng group. So we always check out game places. Fandom had a nice selection of board games, miniatures and rpg stuff. Including some I have not seen for a while. Staff was cool. Worth a look if your a gamer.

I read the negative reviews and was somewhat cautious going into the store. To my delight, the experience was great. Loads of good boardgames, RPGs, paints and D&D miniatures. The guy behind the counter was also very pleasant.

Amazing selection for board games and table-top rpg guidebooks. If you are a fan of figures they have a large selection of both figures and painting equipment/paint.

Quality selection of products, passionate staff. Willing to order products for customers, and competitive pricing. The staff behind the counter was personable, offered guidance in product selection as I was contemplating a new part of wargaming hobby.
