Ive been coming here for ten years. They got me into card games by GIVING ME free cards. I had enough cards for five decks. I got my cousin and my best friend into card games. When I got into board games, they were the place I drove to.This place is one of the last charming places in Baltimore City and the staff has been wonderful to me.

The “customer service wizard” 😂 was amazing! Very kind and an awesome store if you’re a games lover. I got two new magic card decks and I couldn’t be happier with the condition and service. A hidden Baltimore gem!

Dan, the owner is alright to deal with but the playgroups (especially Commander) in the store are very elitist and look down on anyone not rich. I wouldnt pee on them if they were on fire. I suppose if you have $$$ its a decent place to play but DO NOT GO if you arent rich.

Visited the area coming from NY, this was a quaint little store I found with a friend. We both visited for out first time and were pleasantly surprised by the selection of board games, mini figs, and video games. The employee(s) were very helpful with locating and suggesting games as well as fun to chat with while we browsed. A great first time experience and I would reccomend it again.

Had a bad experience with the commander playgroup. Selection of games leaves alot to be desired.

Ive havent played magic in years. I started getting back playing through Arena. I went to Canton Games for my first in game prerelease. I was bit nervous. But everyone so welcoming. I had a blast. Win or lose, it was fun. I will be definitely be back for FNM and drafts.

Great owner & staff. Very helpful!

The store is small and cozy, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Im giving 3 stars because the website clearly states they carry warhammer and other tabletop miniatures games but the in-store staff said that they dont. I didnt mind going in and having a look but I was disappointed that their website was misleading.

Great games and a room to play. I dig it! I went there for a really cool game called, Wing It!

I went by to purchase a game after calling to see if they had it in stock (COVID curbside service). I ended up chatting from the door about game nights and got a fantastic recommendation for Betrayal Legacy. This game has been a huge hit. This store is a great local spot with knowledgeable staff will to chat and help with new ideas.

Very good customer service

I love the one-on-one customer service. Its all good that yall were remodeling while I visited, but I was impressed with the massive collection of stuff. Also Half Life... that is all.

Grabbed a game while visiting Baltimore. Jason did a great job setting up all the games so that you could shop from outside. He was very nice to chat with. I look forward to visiting again when everything reopens.

Very cute toy store for the kid in all of us. Has great toys that you will have forgotten about since you were a kid. Great place to shop for Christmas presents. Plan to spend some time in here. The shop isnt big, but it has a lot of neat stuff!

Can’t browse? What’s the point. Save a trip and the hassle of parking and go elsewhere!

We were in need of a game to play during the pandemic and the staff member who incredibly helpful. We will definitely be returning.

No real point in going here just go to tcg player.

This is a great store and the staff are so helpful and nice. I needed a game same day for my holiday shopping that they didn’t have in stock, so one of the employees sold me his own personal (unopened) copy and saved the day. Will definitely be back and I recommend for others looking for games to go here instead of Amazon or big box stores!

Luck and the Baltimore marathon, slowing down our travel, led us to Canton games. We decided to hangout for the traffic to get better, played a demo game and chatted with the owner. He could not have been for more friendly and generous! He was very knowledgeable about games. I wished we had a place in MN like this. Thanks for a great experience.

Great Baltimore City game shop with awesome people!

The Best Game Board in Baltimore! Dan the owener is the Best!

Wanted to get a refund On items I baught & told me I couldnt !! Oh if if you live nearby you cannot get bags for your items accordingn to Dan the manager Because the city says so! , Dan Says that ! So if your Lucky enough to get bags for your items Then That Just goes to show That The manager of the store lied Dan.

This place is the best. They have a great selection of games. The people are super chill. They host D&D and magic the gathering regularly as well.

I had a wonderful time here at canton games. I will be coming back more often to bring in my own deckbuilder games and learn some new ones.

Great local game store that had a huge selection of board games, cards, and video games. I needed recommendations on some board games to bring on a trip and the woman working was able to help me find a few options that were super fun. They even had a mystery package (this was around the holidays) that you could buy and get a random game. Definitely will visit again to try out some of the card games.

This is a great locally owned gaming store. We went in on a Saturday, when they have open gaming, and asked if the would play Munchkin so that my son and I could learn how to play. No problem. We had a great time playing the game with the owner, his wife and another gamer. They taught us the rules and some tricks. It was a great experience. The owner is more than happy to help with explaining any of the games that he sells.

Staff is always knowledgeable and attentive. If I ever special order product they always do their best to get it and inform me when it arrives. Very reliable and great place to shop for all types of gaming needs.

Great store! Super friendly staff. With a nice selection of games. I snagged a beautiful new set of dice and a much needed rulebook. Thanks Brandon!

This place is pretty small but it has some of the latest games. There is also a back room for playing games and there are game nights and game days if you are looking for people to play with. Staff is super friendly. Recommended if you are interested in board games.

I started coming to Canton Games as someone new to the city. At first I went in for a few games and found the staff to be very helpful and really enjoyed the games they help me select. As I came to more of the events [Star Wars Destiny Night, Magic events and Open Gaming days] all the regulars were welcoming and made me feel at home. I come every week now and it is one of the best parts of my week! Great place to go if youre looking to meet some new amazing gamers or pick up a game!

Great and helpful staff. Theyll help you find whatever youre looking for and if you arent looking for anything, theyll recommend things.

As a long time magic player, I find this a great local place to hangout and play. They have multiple magic related events that go on weekly and people there are great. Also, Dan, the manager, is very friendly and a great shopkeeper. I highly recommend dropping by.

Im always impressed by how friendly the staff is. As kind of a noob to tabletop gaming, I was a bit intimidated going into the store for the first couple of times, but I definitely didnt need to be. Theyre more than willing to offer helpful advice and recommendations.

5 stars alone for their willingness to hold packages for the neighborhood. Then go ahead and look at their awesome selection of games and merchandise. Love this place on many levels.

Amazing selection of magic cards, decent selection of board and table top games, but overall the store needs a lot of help in organization. The front room is very cluttered, as theres display racks and boxes scattered throughout the store. Theres also always a sort of awkward atmosphere here, as there is never any music or ambient noise, and so its very quiet, despite other people being in the store

Love this place. My wife and I buy all our board games here. Also, a great selection of older consoles and games.

Heart of Baltimore City Gaming community always stocked with the latest best games, accessories, card games and dice if you play table top games these are your people

This place is great. They really know their stuff and are very friendly and helpful. Saturday is open table gaming, where you can try out most the games.

A good store for board games and Magic: the Gathering (especially MtG). A little cluttered but a good amount of play space for events. On the day I visited they opened late due to roadwork around the building. Other than that the staff was polite and informative.

Very dissapointed I drove over an hour to browse their games and it took me 20 mins to find no tow parking. Unfortunately when I got there I found that they were not open and only doing curbside pickup still this late in September. Will not bother going back.

The employees here are unfailingly friendly and patient, and really know their stuff. They have open gaming on Saturday, which is a great way to try out games (which can be pretty expensive) before buying them. Ive found several new board games this way and, as a bonus, met other gamers to play them with! Theyre also really involved in the local gaming community; they host tournaments and sponsor the monthly Brews and Board Games social events in Baltimore (the nearest one meets around the corner at Myth and Moonshine).

Good selection of popular board games and a wall full of old console game cartridges. There are a couple tables in the back for gaming.

Friendly staff, and nice selection of available retro video games.

Nice little shop, friendly atmosphere, if they dont have something they can order it for you.

Cute store, friendly, knowledgeable staff will find the right game for anyone. Regular game events makes this a great place to play & make new friends.

Great place to find vintage video games.

Great place to visit. Has just enough of what people are interested in and not more then what most people need (cuts down on browse time). Found a dark horse terminator omnibus that I was looking for to boot. Staff was eager to help me which is nice compared to some other shops.

This is a wonderful gem of a gamestore in Canton. The owner is a great dude who does a lot for the community. They have a great selection of tabletop games, RPG supplies, and most importantly....Magic the Gathering cards! They host a lot of MTG events as well.

They had a good selection of games and were friendly, but I wont go back. I asked about the price of a game and he said it was $52 after the 10% used discount. My sister said she found it cheaper brand new online and he told us that it was out of print and it was actually more expensive online, which was a lie. After I got home I saw it is being sold by the manufacturer for $39.99, so it is not out of print, and I feel like I wasted the extra $12 markup for a used game when I could have gotten a new one. The worst part is that the clerk lied about it just to rip me off.

Friendly local game store with D&D Tuesday nights.

Friendly and helpful owner whos happy to help you find new games and order anything he doesnt have in stock.

Ive visited this location a few times over the years and it had everything I was generally looking for and even some obscure stuff that I couldnt find online or anywhere else. I notified them of a Brews and Boardgames event they sponsor that is run by an admitted racist group of hipster elitists. No response thus far, but Ill update this post when I know more.Update: Ill double-check the contact e-mail I used, but I sent it July 23rd. It was titled The Reach and Racism of Brews and Boardgames.

Great local game shop, nice selection of games to try out. Everyone is extremely friendly. Worth stopping by.

I purchased a number of items this past spring. One of the items was a hexmat used for pen and paper rpgs where one can use dry-erase markers to mark on the mat. Unfortunately, this mat was not in stock and Dan claimed he could get it in a few days from his warehouse. He put my name into his computer system and I took my remaining purchases home. He also stated that he would call me when it arrived.The first strange thing I noticed was that I never received a phone call. No big deal, but picking up the mat kept slipping my mind.I emailed Dan to ask if I could come in and pick up my remaining purchase, he said he had the mat in stock and I could come by. Upon arriving at the store, the cashier claimed my name was not in the system at all. Having made the rookie mistake of losing the receipt, I realized I was in trouble. Dan said they would be willing to sell me the mat AGAIN and I could come back and get my money back if I could find the receipt.The whole transaction was dicey from the start when I never received a phone call back. I recommend finding a different game store in Baltimore if you are looking for reliable customer service and fair dealings

Excellent game store, best in the state. Games, comics, collectibles, you name it and this place has it. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you walk out with what you want, not what they want.

Best place to get games in baltimore. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and awesome selection

Cozy little place with a friendly staff and good selection! Definitely worth a visit!

Small and limited space. Best for board games. Not a Rpg house. Nice guy.

Very friendly staff. Knowledgeable. They hold various types of game events at their store.

Solid local game shop! They accept packages for neighbors too, a real community gem.

The best game shop in Baltimore. Very friendly and community oriented owner who makes you feel like family. Play all your favorite card games like Magic and Netrunner.

Cute, quite, friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Everything you could want from a local game shop.

A nice place to play your games but a little bit small

Need paradise, all kinds of crazy games!

Awesome place! Can play games for free on Saturdays

Awesome customer service. Great selection of magic the gathering cards

Great selection and free game play days (try before you buy!). Also has incredibly friendly, very knowledgeable staff!

Very friendly owner who makes you feel like family

Small store, nice staff, selection is a little thin. Seems to be focused more on CCGs.

I love small businesses and often strive to shop locally, however after 2 attempts of shopping at Canton Games Im feeling extremely disappointed. Today my husband I stopped in to check out some board games and purchase a gift for my nephew. We werent sure which games would better suit his needs since he is really in between that weird age range for board games (usually games are 8+ or 14+). Inevitably we decided to take our time pursuing the store to pick the right gift. While in the store, the cashier was talking to another guy (customer), having a casual conversation about magic the gathering. Usually perosnal conversation is not a big deal and doesnt bother me, but the dude working behind the register didnt even ask if we needed help or assistance in the 20-30mins we spent at the store. My husband and I spent those 20-30 minutes, walking back and forth, through the store, going back and forth between a couple of games, until we just decided we would get two. Now I totally understand that I could have easily asked the cashier for assistance, but it was difficult to get a word in edgewise because of the personal conversation he continued having. We finally chose our games and stood at the register behind the guy (customer) who was talking and the guy at the register continued to carry on conversation for abour a minute or so. It was getting extremely awkward that we werent even acknowledged. Once the guy at the register finally head motioned for the dude he was talking to to step aside, there was no personal interaction with us. He scanned our items, told us the total, and let us swipe our card. No conversation or inquiry, no did you find everything you needed, just heres your total, and swipe your card. Once he handed us our games, there was no thank you or have a nice day. My husband actually said, yeah, have a nice day and the dude at the register seemed taken aback and said , oh yeah, you too. Maybe its just my opinion, but I believe the point of going to a store is for the customer service, assistance (if its needed, which it was today), and the personal touch. Its totally more of a convenience for me to just swipe my card on amazon and have the game delivered to my house in the future; instead of having to search for parking, be treated like Im non-existent, and be valued for only the swipe of a credit card at Canton Games.

Generally a good store. Its a bit dude gamery and some times unwelcoming but Friday night magic is usually fun.

If you like Board games, its your kinda place

Fun store nice and helpful players for FNM

One of the best game stores Ive been to anywhere. This is a true gamers paradise, unlike a lot of stores which contain mostly comic books with a little section of games. The store is clean and well lit, and all of the staff and customers are always fun to be around. They usually have multiple copies of all the mainstay games and can order anything they dont have in stock.They have fun events almost every day of the week/weekend depending on what games you like to play. I went with my wife on a Thursday night for their Android: Netrunner night, and the owner taught us how to play with his cards before we had our own. Weve also been on a Saturday for open gaming and everyone there was friendly and willing to teach us new games.This is a great place with something for everyone--whether youre a casual gamer, hardcore gamer, or even if youve never played anything before and are looking for an easy way to get into it. Canton Games is a perfect example of what American small businesses should strive for. There are game stores that are closer to where I live but I would much rather drive out of my way to come here.

They are very helpful with describing games and suggesting others. One of my favorite games ever was from here

Hidden little gem of a board game store. Knowledgeable and fun staff.

Went here for a Magic draft. The staff stacked the draft and competition so that the staff members themselves collected the best cards, and had the easiest matches. Thus winning and giving out no prizes. All in all not a bad store but I wouldnt suggest wasting money here in the hopes of winning prizes. Its fixed against you. Also overheard the manager discussing this when he didnt realize I could hear so this isnt just speculation.

Great shop very nice and helpful owner

Staff was nice and were very helpful.

Fun place, great people, lots of games!

Great place-Everyone is very friendly and the owner is a hoot and a half.

I need to go in here more! It may be small but it is mighty, and its right in the middle of Canton. They also have a ton of gaming events if you want to interact with other humans.

Knowledgeable staff, clean shop. Wide variety of games and gaming events.

Great place for all of your gaming needs! Dan is always super helpful.

This is what I picture in my head for a local comic book and gaming store. Cramped, disorganized, and unkempt. Staff was friendly but disinterested. Good selection of games, miniatures, and paints, etc, though

Great game store owned by a true gamer.

Always friendly, great for events. A solid part of the neighborhood

Lots of unique and retro titles & systems

Limited selection but great staff

Good selection and friendly staff, gaming events!

This place have gems

Good choice of cards. Could use work on customer service and people skillz.

Awesome place, Jorge was very friendly.

Great shop, with very friendly staff. :) I would go out of my way to shop here again!!

Great place great people

Great neighborhood gaming shop!
