Joe and co always look out for you. Great that instore play is open again. Shop Local.

Amazing store with a great layout! Huge selection of board games. Staff was super friendly and very helpful I narrowing down our search. Highly recommend visiting!

Owner and staff were super helpful. I dont usually review places but gather and game was great. Will definitley be back again soon

Small ma and pop board game shop that has 120+ board games to sit down and play with friends and family. Friendly staff who will setup and show you how to play! They also have game nights, tutorial sessions and contests. Stop in and give them a look!

Absolutely great place for board games. Huge selection and very helpful, patient staff.

FINALLY had the pleasure to stop by this game store/cafe after hearing so many positive things about it. I was so impressed not only by the selection but Joe was awesome! Getting into the hobby of ttrpg I’ve had a few experiences at other game stores that were either creepy or gatekeeping. Joe was welcoming and eager to talk and assist in any way they could (even humoring my rambling and offering great suggestions in a project I’m working on with a local organization) going as far as to find one of the new Deep Cuts figures I was on the prowl for and offering coffee. It meant so much to see not only a business owner but someone who loved the hobby as well as the quality of the surrounding neighborhood, that sort of investment is cause for nothing but the utmost respect and can’t wait to make this one of my main fixtures and tell my gaming groups as well! Their membership program is also a great incentive, especially when I’m thinking about getting into GW products, so that’s something to consider as well!!! Also! They put prices on their brushes!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! sounds silly but I think it’s the first store I’ve seen brush prices labeled! Can’t wait to stop by again!

Excellent staff and selection. Owner was VERY knowledgeable of everything he had in his store.Also, they have free coffee on Saturdays. Maybe other days, not sure. Only been there on a Saturday.

Friendly staff and good deals. They have an optional membership for $30 a year and it saves you a lot of money by getting you a 10% discount on just about everything. I highly recommend it.

I can’t stay away from Gather & Game! Incredibly friendly owner and staff who always help me out, whether it’s picking a new dice set or just chatting about our game interests and pointing me towards something new. I live 30 minutes out but this store is worth the drive. Support small business, and have a family game night while you’re at it!

Awesome selection and awesome owner. Best game shop in Buffalo.

The owner was very helpful and assisted me in getting a board game I was looking for right when I walked in. Will be going back to buy more!

One of my favorite places to go! The owner is super welcoming and friendly and there are always a ton of new tabletop games to try out! I’ve also found a lot of single Pokémon cards to build some fun decks!

As someone who doesnt consider themselves a big board gamer, I have become quite smitten with this place. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff and a relaxing environment for playing with friends or making new ones! Very affordable (and even free to play during certain hours, Gather & Game is a top-notch shop and cafe with local treats and staples to fuel your gaming session.

Great place for boardgames and table top RPGs! Joe is very nice and helpful with suggesting games to play and even teaching groups how to play them. Loved it so much we bought a membership. Will be back soon! Coffee was good too!

Great selection of board games, card games & war games, including popular franchises Warhammer 40,000 & Age of Sigmar. Store owner is wonderful, super friendly and inviting place that all gaming fans should seek out.

There is a game here for everyone of all ages, its great! Some games take 2 minutes to play others take 45 min, and some even longer. Its a toy store full of board games but you can play the games there too. Staff is helpful on finding a game that matches what you are looking to play.

Awesome selection. I cannot wait to get to play at the store

Great selection of RPG and tabletop board games. They have a great board game library for $3 all day play. Wonderful staff and I am excited to hear about how this place grows.

The person there was super helpful in starting D&D. Were from Rochester, and were definitely willing to make the drive back just for this store!

The owner is super nice and really helpful! My favorite local tabletop game shop in the area. Small, but decent selection.

Went in for the first time to check out the new space and pick up some games for some early Christmas shopping. Staff is super friendly and helped point me in the right direction for what gifts to get. Will 100% be back! Highly recommend

Very knowledgeable and welcoming staff. Everytime Im in either to buy or play a new game they always know everything about the game and offer helpful tips for game play.

Im not at all surprised that this place has all 5 star reviews. I was pleasantly amazed at how well stocked both the game library and the stock of games to buy were. I feel like I could spend my entire paycheck there, and the prices are super reasonable. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, plus there is a free parking lot nearby!

A great selection of games (including many unusual ones) and roleplaying books. The staff person was very friendly and knowledgable with good recommendations. A must-stop for gamers; you wont walk out empty handed!

Buffalo needed a great board game shop and someone finally opened one. Theres a great selection of board games. selection is a bit of a greatest hits spread with a few hidden gems to discover.They also have painting supplies for painters of miniatures.The owner Joe is also possibly one of the nicest people in the world. I highly recommend this shop

Great new location in the old Westside used books. Diagonaly across from the old location. Support your Friendly local game store.

Stopped in just to look around. Joe, the owner, was super friendly and gave us a quick tour and explained how the game library worked. My wife and I ended up staying for about 3 hours playing games out of the library. Also picked up two games from the retail section to add to our collection. Well definitely be back.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Shop local.

Awesome place, where dreams come true 😸

A great place to try out new board games, meet nice people, and to take a break from the stresses of everyday life. The folks that run this place are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend anyone to give this place a try!

Had a blast. Cool vibes, great game selection and some merchandise available for sale. We were loud, might otherwise be a quieter venue, good for college kids or small groups looking for a local hangout. Was there with some friends from work to play Cards Against Humanity..we were there for 2 and a half hrs- only $3! Can buy coffee/tea/ snacks/waters and all goes towards a small private owner which is great! Definitely will be a regular spot for us. Parking on grant st. seemed fairly accessible around 5pm.

Staff is amazing, all locally sourced food. The atmosphere is awesome, the game selection is to die for... This is an awesome place to go with friends and find solid connections! I love this place!!

This place is great! Joe is one of the nicest guys you could meet and he is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about tabletop games. I always enjoy visiting because he never fails to greet you with a warm smile and a personal chat about games that might interest you.The shop is very cozy with good snacks and music and presents an incredible value with memberships at $25 (which also comes with a 10% store discount) or single-plays for $3. Go play and support a great local business!

Great store, cute setup, awesome management.

Finally got around to checking out Gather & Game on Grant St last night. Such a great time! Joe (the owner) took the time to teach us how to play Settlers of Catan. People really should go support this place!

They have a welcoming environment, different fun tournaments like Settlers of Catan & Splendor, and theyll teach you how to play a myriad of other games too! I highly recommend G&G. 😁👍

The staff was very helpful and friendly, they had a great selection in their game library for more casual and seasoned board game players, and they even mentioned having classes to help people learn different games. Ill definitely be visiting again!

We had a great time at Gather & Game. We stayed a couple hours and learned a few new games. A lot of laughs were had! The owner is super friendly and helpful. There are drinks and snacks available. And, if you really love a game, there are many available for purchase. There are games for all, even our 7 and 10 year old kids found games to play while the adults played theirs. I highly recommend the place and look forward to returning myself.

Such an awesome shop. So many games to play and a great owner to show us how to play them. Enjoyed my time so much that I bought one of them for home!

Me and my girlfriend bought a year membership, and have been a few times. Joe and everyone who works there is extremely helpful, and will always explain new games to you.... great date spot, great spot for a friend group 10/10 would recommend

Had a great time here learning a new game. Really friend staff and nice atmosphere and definitely worth the visit. There was a large selection and I will for sure be back!

This place is great and def deserving of 5 stars.

So cool. Wish I knew this place existed from the get-go. Cant wait to try their coffee.

A bright and welcoming game cafe. They have an extensive library, games to purchase, drinks (coffee, tea, pop, cold beverages) and snacks (BreadHive cookies are delicious).The knowledgeable staff can recommend titles, and help explain the rules and setup, which speeds up the learning A LOT :)If you’re looking to play with your group, or combine forces with others, this is your place.

Friendly, fun. Affordable. Go buy a game or spend time playing games from their giant library.

A great place to go to have fun with some of your friends. A large selection of board games, drinks and refreshments and an owner willing to help you learn a game for you to play!

Didnt know I had a game store so close to home, but Im glad I found it. Everyone there is super chill, and I highly recommend stopping by and seeing if any of their events interest you

Theres a ton of cool games here! Really fair prices and the membership is super worth it. You should come here whenever you can!

My favorite FLGS! Come in, sit down and play game. The owner is a great guy who is always ready to explore a new game with someone, and the people are friendly. This store is not about a typical retail experience, its about the time you spend playing games with friends.

So many games! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Had a lot of fun playing in the beginner D&D game they hosted.

I came to visit Buffalo from Ohio and found this place by coincidece, I had a blast coming here. The person who taught us how to play was very friendly and knowledge. Also he recomend us a place to go to eat (the west side bazaar) and he wasnt wrong about how amazing this food court was!

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, selection is expansive, and prices realistic. A single member has a year price of $30 and a double member price is $50. Dungeons and Dragons nights are Thursdays, as well as Learn a New Game night. Saturdays are tournaments for rotating games, and you can reserve for a party for $150 the first 3 hours, $40 each hour thereafter. No website yet, but theyre active on Facebook and Instagram.

Great little shop! So glad theres a West Side game store! Cant wait to come back

A place to buy games and meet people who play them.

New addition to Grant Street, but is one that I hope more people will discover. Amazing games selection and owner.

The owner is helpful and not pushy at all, and seems to have everything you need in stock. Easily the best board game store in Buffalo

Joe is super friendly and there is a great selection of games to buy. There is also an enormous game wall that is only a few bucks to rent from while you eat goodies.

Amazing atmosphere! Fun place for kids And connect with other kids!

Amazing selection, great prices and very friendly and informative staff. Will return soon!

My daughter took me to this place to play one of her favorite board games. Kevin who was working that saturday was very nice and helpful teaching us how to play the game.

Super friendly and welcoming I cant wait to get to gaming there!

The perfect mix of game selection, space to play and nice folks to game with. Ill be back....often.
