Mecha Games - St. Catharines, Ontario

TL:DR: Best Card Shop / Board Game Shop in Niagara — Hands Down.

I remember being given a tour of this TCG / Game Shop just a bit before they fully opened. You can visibly see the amount of hard-work, passion and creative skills put into this shop. From the custom decorations made from the stairway entrance and leading all the way up into the top floor, the glass cases throughout the stairwell and the top floor and their layout design. Not to mention their active engagement with the community whether through events, promotions or even their collaborations with local artists.

The staff is incredibly knowledgable and passionate as well as both eager and willing to help you find whatever you’re looking for, teach you a new TCG or help with your deck. Everyone here brings a warm vibe to the shop.

As for products, you can find quite literally anything here. From TCG games like Star Wars, One Piece, MTG, Pokemon, Flesh & Blood and Lorcana. There’s almost every type of board game available for your friends to all play. As well as model-based game products such as; Warhammer, LOTR, Star Wars, Marvels, as well as many historical based ones. My only recommendation would be for more Yugioh products — I’m super excited to hear about the Yugioh nights.

All that to sum up to, this is hands down one of the coolest places in the region!

Beautiful, clean, fun, and very friendly space to relax and play.

From what I hear, the regulars are very experienced in their preferred games, but even absolute beginners are made welcome and encouraged to try any of the games in the store's vast collection—or just hang around the lovely crew.

Lots of space, comfortable seating, excellent lighting, nice table mats and artwork, great variety in games and supplies, and very friendly staff who are very passionate about the games and building community. 10/10!

(I came in on a quiet day, but I'd love to see the place during one of their live events.)

Great staff, great stock, super friendly. All in the know about all your favorite games. Great place to stop in and visit if you've never been, not to mention they are constantly hosting events every day of the week.

Unique and fun place to go. Loved how well it was put together. The old school vibe brought back feelings of comfort. Definitely will be back.

Surprisingly large store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Have a lot of different products and events. Extremely fair singles prices and trade-in rates. It can be a bit tricky the find their store though as there's no sign easily visible from the road, so it's easy to pass by it unless you know it's there.

Jeff B.

Best store in Niagara, they actually give a discounted price on Warhammer and don't upcharge, the consignment shelf is a excellent place to find a deal, the layout is amazing, lots of table space and a genuine and kind environment!

Dave P.

Fun. Also, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Playing games, doing hobby, or hanging out, all good. Common area with cozy seating is a good spot for gathering, including a comfortable space for my kids to hang out if I'm gaming in the back. Pick-up games and organized gameply options, with leagues and events. Good community development. See you there!

Leah M.

Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Welcoming atmosphere. Great stock. They've fostered a great community and run a great shop, best game shop I've been in!

The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I came in for a pokemon card I saw they had online, but there was an error. They were super apologetic and they gave me a free card for the wait when I asked them to find another!!! Great atmosphere and staff is really helpful:D
