Canton Games accepts deliveries for local residents and has been an absolute savior for me! I work nights and I am either asleep or still at work when packages tend to be delivered and was a frequent victim of porch pirates. Thank you so much!

In addition to being a fantastic and unique small business, I just want to thank Dan, Brooke, Salad, all of the lovely folks who work here for making Canton games a third space in the community. Every time I walk into this little store, it’s bustling with different people and folks are playing. They have dog treats and they accept packages for the neighborhood. The result is a little hangout spot where you can get to know your neighbors. 10/10 recommend shopping small and getting to know the folks at this fantastic little shop!

The staff are friendly. I think they're quite Magic-focused: Magic is the only card type they buy (and sell as singles I think?). Not interested in Pokemon cards. But they've had decent stocks of Pokemon products which is nice since they've been hard to come by. They have events most nights, such as DnD on Mondays and MTG on Fridays. Their store hours for sales are till 7pm but they stay open for events a bit later.

Absolute gem of a games shop here in Baltimore. Shelf after shelf chockablock with brightly colored treasures which are a joy to explore. Also a staff that are incredibly friendly and helpful with pointers, explanations and suggestions. Can not recommend them enough!

Awesome shop, with great rotating retro and used gaming supplies! Found a few games we were hunting for! Google mentions Warhammer minis here, they do not stock it as sales space is precious here.

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.

Charming locale shop with some old gems from legacy game systems. Only place I've been to with some extremely rare MTG cards on sale recently. Good selection of board games that are a little more exotic than the standard Walmart or Target offerings. Friendly person working when I stopped in. Easy to drive right past them, though, if you don't know they are there. There were several people playing something in the next room, but they were not being loud, obnoxious, or bringing down the vibe of the place, which is kind of rare I've noticed. If you're into card games, board games, or collecting

A wonderful piece of the neighborhood. And a wonderful addition to the hobby and culture. Lots of variety from modern TRRPGs to retro video games. Community events and sessions. And pleasant staff and community. Prices are reasonable and comparable to online, if not outright better. Supporting local businesses also goes a long way. And the funds are seen through improvements to the shop and an ever-growing selection of products.
