Elm City Games

I was excited to stop by and just browse, but ended up discovering games that I want to add to my list! The employee who greeted us was friendly and answered any questions we had. They have a great selection of games that are well organized and suitable for many different audiences.

Awesome local game store in New Haven. Obviously, local shops can't always compete with amazon or the big box stores but a good chunk of games here could so it was nice to support local when it was possible.

The staff was always super friendly and gave good suggestions.

Local board game seller with affordable BYOB style game play space. They’re inclusive, welcoming and have a great selection of board games to play with all ages and sizes of groups. Browse to shop or browse to play for the day, it’s worth the stop in.

Amazing game and hobby store. Very friendly and helpful staff and a wide selection of ttrpgs, miniatures, board games, card games, supplies for all of the above, as well as both private and public areas for gaming. Very progressive owner and staff, a very nice surprise given how "boys club" these spaces tend to be. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a "nerd store".

Awesome place to game and/or buy gaming supplies! Helpful/friendly staff, several areas for game play.

Great spot! So glad we came across it after a random visit to New Haven one weekend. Amazing selection of dice. Great staff, reasonable prices for MTG booster packs, and wide variety of games. Will be coming back!

This place is fantastic. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. The variety of games is phenomenal. And the prices are reasonable.

Friendly staff, great selection, very welcoming atmosphere! Absolutely worth a trip!

New to the area and heard about this place. Immediately felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. A wide array of games in what looks to be a small store from the outside. Got loads of activities throughout the month, locally-made board and card games, and always check out the game on display near the checkout counter! The staff was always willing to help and even played a couple of the games with me! Love this place.

The staffs are so friendly. One staff helped us to play a new game and enjoyed together. I'm a very beginner of board games but I could enjoyed. I appreciate their service.

Really great selection of table top gaming products. I got a real cute set of trans themed dice which is something I've been looking for. The cashier was super friendly and sweet. Overall seems like a comfy place to shop for a bunch of cool nerdy stuff to have some fun.

Had a great time. Super friendly staff that was both knowledgeable and eager to help teach me all the place has to offer (which is a lot.) Even just walking in and looking around is worth the time and if you’re looking for a place to hang out? Just from a glance you can tell that no matter who you are, you’re welcome here. Best of all of this though is competitive pricing (which although is very slightly higher than at bulk retailers.) Is entirely reasonable for both getting your hands on product instantly AND supporting such a dynamic part of a local community. It sounds like I’ve been here for years but truthfully, I’ve only poked my head in a few times. Even with limited experience I can tell this place is something special.

Great selection of games and staff was very informative. Can't wait for another trip to the shop!

Awesome space for board games. Great opponents at MTG. Wonderful staff. Love this place.

The best board/card/RPG/tabletop game store I've ever been in. The selection was staggering. I left with four games, three of which I'm sure no one will ever play with me but I had to have them because they were all brilliantly creative concepts. The market of non-digital games is alive and well.

A fun afternoon activity! The staff kindly added a game to the library collection that we wanted to try out before buying it.

Awesome store with some great people working there. Pretty much always open and an amazing warhammer collection with some rare discontinued products!

A friend of mine introduced me to this great spot! Wonderful staff, great games, and just a fun place to visit and check out. Bought a great game that was designed by a local CT resident the last time we went. Highly recommend this place!

The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and kind! I can't recommend this store enough! If you have a chance to check it out you absolutely should!

I am an old guy who walks with a cane. I have long white hair and beard. I wear loud Hawaiian shirts. Remarkably, I always feel welcomed there. Their game selection for loan or sale is excellent.
