Classic Game Junkie
Retro and current video games on South Easton Road in Glenside. Cartridges, discs, consoles and controllers going back several console generations, in a shop people drive to.
The Games Keep, LLC
A tabletop and board game store on East Gay Street with a deep wall of Magic, D&D, and hobby games and tables to play at. The staff will teach you the rules if you ask.
Gator's Card Den
Pokémon in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese, plus Magic, Lorcana, and Star Wars Unlimited, with a play center running weekly kids' and trade nights. They buy as well as sell — bring the binder you keep meaning to thin out.
New Wave Comics
New issues up front, back-issue boxes behind them, and a collectibles corner, all on Skippack Pike. Budget more time for the boxes than you planned on.
The Parlour Tabletop and Tome
A cafe stocked with board games and books instead of just wifi and laptops. Order a coffee, pull something off the game shelf, and lose an afternoon at the table.
Planet Retro Video Games
Retro games on West Broad: cartridges, discs, and the consoles you used to have to blow into. Budget for one more game than you came in for.
R3 Gaming and Toys
A game and toy shop on West Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore. Tabletop games, cards and collectibles sold across a counter instead of shipped in a box.
Rec Room
A brewery with a rec-room heart on Bridge Street — pints alongside games you haven't played since middle school. Competitive streaks welcome.
Roundtable Games & Stuff
A Fayette Street game shop stocking board games, trading cards and miniatures, with open board-gaming nights midweek. The kind of counter where someone will actually teach you the rules before you buy.
Showcase Comics and Games
Comic shop on Lancaster Avenue in Bryn Mawr: new releases and back issues on one side, tabletop games and miniatures on the other.
SKR Sim Racing Center
Seven pro-grade racing simulators on Derstine Ave, opened in 2024, with direct-drive wheels, hydraulic load-cell pedals, and triple 43-inch displays. A first session is $40 for 30 minutes, one driver to one rig, with an instructor walking you through.
Waffles and Enthusiasm
A trading-card and tabletop game store on West Ridge Pike with a name that tells you the energy. Shelves of cards, board games and play space for people who take game night seriously.
Wheelhouse
Sports card shop on Rittenhouse Place. Packs, sealed boxes and singles under glass, which is a dangerous combination for anyone who collected as a kid.
