Boardgame Store and Tabletop Lounge
Our store is located just off of Main Street in El Cajon, California.
We are a friendly local game store, primarily a place where you can meet with your friends, and play some games! We have over 600+ games available in our game library, and are welcoming to people from all walks of life and all ages.
We have four main rooms, three of them dedicated to game play. We have big and small tables, depending on the size of your game, and plenty of comfortable chairs. All of our games are located in the back room, where you can browse for the game that you want to play. All of our employees are familiar with board games, and will gladly help you with picking, finding, or learning any board game that you have in mind.
We have a special room that is more closed off than the others, making it a great spot for role playing games. Members have the privilege of reserving tables and can do so in this room.
If you play a game that you really like, or need a gift for a friend, we also have a retail section. You can find all sorts of things from dice, board games, and cool trinkets and statues!
