If you’re a board game enthusiast, then you know the joy of browsing through rows of colorful boxes filled with endless possibilities for game night. And what better place to do that than at your local board game shop? These small businesses are the heart and soul of the gaming community, providing a physical space for players to gather, try new games, and purchase their favorites.

But with the rise of online shopping, many local board game shops are struggling to stay afloat. This is where we, as gamers, can make a difference. By actively supporting our local board game shops, we not only ensure that these beloved stores continue to thrive, but we also contribute to the growth of the board gaming industry as a whole.

So next time you’re looking to add a new game to your collection, think about visiting your local board game shop instead of purchasing online. Not only will you have the opportunity to support a small business, but you may also discover a new favorite game or meet fellow gamers in your community. And when we support our local board game shops, we are not just buying games, we are investing in the community that connects us through a shared love of board games. Let’s come together and show our support for our local board game shops!
