Math 'n' Stuff & Playing on Purpose Toys and Games

What an awesome shop with all my needs. I’m a sales manager and love bringing my team here for wholesome games with both friends and family. We’ve had so many fun competitive settlers of Catan tournaments, I’ve bought over a thousand dollars worth of Pokémon cards here, and they have awesome events and activities. #TCG #Pokemon #Games #family #Fun #TradingCards

This is simply an awesome local toy store. I always go there for its: large Lego collection, board game, educational tools, maze book, jigsaw puzzle.
Also staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

This store is fantastic!! From the game library where the staff has been brilliant at giving wonderful suggestions, to the math and science resources and products, to their great Lego inventory, this is my family's favorite store in Seattle. Staff is always friendly and helpful, the pokemon trading card game on Saturday has been fun for my son to join.

I have been a customer at Math n Stuff for years! They are a Seattle staple- this is the best place to get card games, coloring books, puzzles, workbooks, stickers, and board games. I love their selection, and the staff is wonderful. They are knowledgeable about the games they sell and they are happy to order games too. This is such an awesome place to go. Masks and social distancing are enforced in a time of COVID-19. Wonderful service as usual!

We love this store! Tons of board games, learning games, educational materials, and more. They have one of the best Lego selections in Seattle, and their online store has even more (we were able to find the discontinued roller coaster from them last year). Their customer service is always really great as well. Please shop local!

A special place. Just don't miss it! There's not much of a sign, and the store name doesn't make it clear that this is essentially a board game store, although with some educational stuff for kids mixed in.

Love this store! Hands down, my favorite spot in Seattle. Not only are they stocked with board games and Legos, but I go there for my craft-kit, science, and any other entertaining myself or my children needs. My kids spend all their allowance on Pokemon and MTG (p.s. Saturday Pokemon club is the best!). Super appreciate them keeping the community safe with masking, too - helps my immunocompromised family feel more comfortable. They provide masks so it's not an inconvenience to remember!

Cannot recommend this store enough! Shop local! Shop family owned!

Great place to pick up board games, legos, cool science toys, and so much more! Very friendly staff.

This is a review for the Pokemon Summer Camp. My kiddo has done this camp for the last two years, and they can't wait to do it again this year. If you are considering booking your kid in any summer camp here- DO IT! This family run business is such a treasure.

Awesome place, so many nice books, games and experiments! Best selection of dice ever /-)

To borrow my kiddo's expression, "oh my gosh!" Why, in nine years I've been in Seattle, I haven't stepped inside this wonderful store?!

Math 'n' Stuff is more than a toy store. I would describe it as a mash up of Third Place and Snapdoodle for kids up to middle school with its collection of toys, puzzles, activity/workbooks, Legos, Gravitrax, Snap Circuits, board games to Pokemon cards and science items (pH test strips anyone?). There's a half wall of jigsaw puzzles for the adults and board games galore.

As a parent of an elementary grade schooler, I love that the store has racks and racks of workbooks to supplement class learning. Parents who home school will love the materials the store has for sale.

Prices are reasonable and competitive vs online stores and big box retailers. They have a reward system for repeat customers (which you will be for sure, so sign up) and appreciate cash payments though you can pay with card or check.

Owner kindly asks patrons to mask up and have free masks by the door if you forgot yours as well as a hand sanitizer.

The store's facade is kinda nondescript with no visible sign outside that you may miss it if new to the area. Your landmark is the Maple Leaf Ace Hardware which is directly to the north across the street from the store. Very small parking lot but just a short walk away from Metro bus 67 stop if you commute instead.

Make Math 'n' Stuff your first shopping stop. Highly recommend!

I used to come the the shop as a kid when it was in it's old location. Imagine my surprise when, upon moving to the Northgate area, I drove past it in a new spot on my way to work. I've been popping in almost weekly since then and always enjoy my stop there. Everyone who works there is an absolute delight and they have an excellent selection of games, puzzles, toys and educational supplies. This is the kind of shop that really makes you appreciate local businesses. I cannot recommend them enough!

What a fun store! Great selection of board games, puzzles, legos, and science kits (and other learning focused games) for kids. I stopped in to pick up a game and walked away with a couple other things for my nieces and myself. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for adults and kids!

This is one of my favorite places to visit around Seattle, and easily one of my favorite places to take my kids for toys. The marvelous selection of games, learning material, and toys never ceases to amaze me! I love the great service we are given whenever we shop here, and my kids love the magic the gathering tournaments hosted. Definitely worth a visit!

We come here anytime we need a gift for anyone, from newborns to grandparents 😁the staff is so knowledgeable and we also appreciate their commitment to safety. We’re happy to wear a mask to help keep staff safe!

Love this local store, I have since I was a child. It's always great to see it there on the corner. They have a great selection of Math related stuff but also fun educational toys and board games. Customer service is friendly and always smiley. They are a great local business.

This is SUCH a great store. They have a ton of cool products: board games, science projects, dice, books, magic the gathering...the staff are SO nice and they can even order things in for you. Definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re looking for a rad gift for a kiddo.

The best Lego selection I've found in the area, as well as a great selection of award-winning board games for all ages (adults included) and cool science experiments. I do almost all of my holiday shopping for kids here, every year.

Great place! All sorts of great games, toys, puzzles, and books. The staff is fantastic and they hold events like magic tournaments and birthday parties at an event space down the street. Used to play Friday night magic here as a kid and the staff were great and super good with the kids.

A store packed with a wonderful selection of educational toys for kids of all ages. It also doubles as the best place to shop for board and card games in NE Seattle as far as I can tell. There are a lot of pricey things here, but also some cheaper options. If you bring a kid in here be prepared to spend some money!
