Jacob: Fairly small but good selection of boardgames, not much magic.
megafun forever: Very relaxing and fun place
Ken Regehr: Awesome store, friendly knowledgeable staff and an amazing assortment of hard to find games. This place is great!
Lucas Konschuh-Beer: Super friendly staff, lots of stock for all your hobby needs and hassle free ordering of anything they don't have
J Jackson: Great selection and friendly staff.
Cecilia Mok: A well stocked games store with helpful and chill staff. They have a great selection of games for all ages here.
Abby Nicole: Great selection of DND figurines & books, as well as board games.
Steve Lemky: My favorite game shop and the unofficial game store of Thunderbowl, the lowermainland's premiere blood bowl league. Love this store!
Leah Chatfield: Great selection and helpful staff!
Charles: The staff are not friendly nor helpful. They don’t seen to like their jobs and seemed rude.
Bob O: They do not carry a wide selection of paint if that is what you are after, but otherwise a fantastic local game store
Michelle Oh: helpful staff
Pedro Medeiros: Awesome and helpful staff. They are always very well stocked on board games and RPG books
Jack Aurelius: Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Great selection
Matt Blatz: Fantastic selection, knowledgeable staff. 10/10
Gab Houghton: The shop is clean and well laid out.After 5 visits over a year, the staff are still rude and short- more motivated to get you to leave quickly. Asking a question about the products is often met with an eyeroll. Online shopping may be preferable.
Steve Miller: I've been coming to Strategies for a while but I don't find the staff to be all that friendly or engaging. In my experience, they don't seem to try very hard to foster loyalty, rapport or repeat business. For example, despite having spent hundreds of dollars there, I had to negotiate pretty hard just to return one unopened paint pot. This experience, combined with their pretty high prices, makes me want to look at discount online retailers instead. Still, 3 stars for a good selection in stock.
Anand Sriganeshar: Good selection and knowledgeable staff make this a great local option for board games & table top games.
Jerry: When I asked for a recommendation for a nice family game, Gopaul (spelling?) gave us a few of his personal recommendations. Everyone there was friendly, courteous, and helpful. Above all, they all seemed passionate about what they do. Will definitely be back.
Tully Pinkerton: Great selection of boardgames, wargames, and RPGs. If they don't have it, they'll gladly order it in for you.
Badger and Yew: Always love this store! Really great game selection and amazing people!

Melih Yılmaz: Great place for board and card games in general. They have a huge collection of games and single cards. Cool place for playing commander games. Also the best prizing for Magic the Gathering events in city.
The Corvid: probably the best custumor service out there
Jason J: I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Igor Petrovic (IggyPop): Amazing selection of games. Great and helpful staff.
Joshua Ji: So many selections for games and the staff were very friendly and helpful! Very clean store and great atmosphere. Enjoyed the concept of the games schedule (different activities scheduled for different days and times).Prices were a bit high but the quality of the board games also looked very good.
Matthew Ellis: Staff worked with my non carding wife to help her get cards for my card playing son.Made her feel welcomed and respected …Hmm that kind of service is commendable and will be rewarded with additional purchases from my family
PB O: Asked for recommendations for conversation and language games and didn't receive any help, so was just about to give up when another worker who worked there (Tia/Thia, I forget, I'm so sorry) overheard us, intervened, and helped me and my colleague soooo much! I will be forever grateful for her help and knowledge of the products, she was truly great at advertising. She provided us with so many options, which was really useful. She always had a smile, was really approachable, and really helped our school out. The pride I felt when my coworker and I walked back into the office to show off to our boss the fantastic haul we managed to find, for a really great price too. She really helped us out, her immaculate energy perked our mood up too, and I will recommend this store to anybody and everybody now. We will certainly be back. Thank you, ma'am!
Trevor Bradley: Great game store. Very welcoming!
Sarawut Yuttanava: ❤️❤️❤️
Cort Carpenter: I should have gone here years ago. Rad selection of games and super friendly employees. They also ordered me a game I could not find elsewhere. Even on the net. Easy ordering system in person and online. Excellent store.
Vernon Lo: Great Selection of tabletop games available
Draco: 270 for a astral radience box is insane. Go to any other Local Card Store and itll be half the priceEdit: I was a bit too harsh, but I still believe it's overpriced
planes3333: Nice staff. I came to buy some plastic figurines, (they used to make them lead) pretty fair priced. Helpful staff, the one dude lingered a bit hovering over me but I assume he was just trying to be helpful anb also in being in the downtown eastside I am sure they deal with lots of attempted thefts. I like going there lots of stuff and hopefully they will get more dragons in.
second stone: Great selection. Very knowledgeable. -1 star for prices being on average $10 more than anywhere else… Down town tax?
Gérard campos: Très sympa avec beaucoup de choix de jeux
Nereid Lake: So friendly and helpful. And if you are visiting from out of town, you can stick a pin in their world map to show where you are from!
Naiesca Wagner: I can't understand the comments about "little variety" people are either mean or really blind, the store is huge, has a lot of games, characters to color, space to play, special paints, brushes, stuffed animals. Complete, clean, organized store, with professionals who come to you and ask if you need something or are looking for something specific.
Reza Moallemi: I recently visited Rain City Games and was blown away by the selection of board games and the overall experience. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, helping me find the perfect game for my family game night.The store itself had a great atmosphere, with a wide selection of games that catered to all ages and interests. I appreciated that the staff took the time to explain the rules and mechanics of the games, making it easy to dive right in and start playing.
Johnny Tang: Cool place to play card games Yu-gi-yo, magic, pokemon and lots of boardgames and the prices are reasonable
Steven Phan: I ordered 18 of the same board game online to furnish and include it into my short term rentals because its a hot boardgame at the moment. The orders were flagged as fraud and cancelled. I called and spoke with Braden who said a manager would get back to me. I got an email from Channing who is one of the co-owners saying that it would be fine and to re-order. Then I got an email later from Andrea the other co-owner gaslighting me and making assumptions without knowing who I am. All orders cancelled again.Just trying to support small business.
Rhoss303: Great shop and nice staff. I wish there were more D n D minis to choose from. Other than that they had a decent selection of MTG and many other table top games.

Thomas Byrne: Popped into the shop this afternoon to look at games for me and my gf. The guy (wish I got his name, Black beard) who works there was one of the most professional people I've ever dealt with in any business. He knew exactly what to recommend for the games we currently like and play and was able to recommend different variations of what we could like. I work in enterprise sales for fortune 100 companies and this guy is one of the best sellers I've ever come across because he genuinely cares. I will be coming back for sure!
Maile Carpenter: Such a lovely experience. The shop is set up nicely, the cashier was friendly (despite my slightly grumpy attitude, sorry!) but not overbearing and very clear about where things were in the store (awesome for people like me who struggle with directions and have a slower processing time). Always intimidating to go into a game shop as a woman, and I know the bar is on the floor, but I didn't feel out of place at all which i'm super grateful for. I just wish they had a bigger dice collection. Keep up the good work gang!
Tim Woodburn: I walked into Drexoll to shop for, and ideally purchase, a travel cribbage board. I walked in and a mother and son (my assumption) were in the store shopping and a group of folks were at the back table playing a game. I looked around for what I needed. I found a case the looked like it had the boards in it but it was a closed glass case. I then walked around the shop to see if I could see anything else. Finally, after a few minutes, I wandered back to the glass case. At no point was I greeted by anyone or offered assistance. I settled down and opened the case and started rummaging to see if I could find what I was looking for. Behind me I heard someone greet and speak with the mother and son. After some time moving items in the case, pulling things out and searching, I looked up to find the person that spoke to the other customers, standing back at the game table in the rear. Finally, I put the items back in the case, glanced back at the table and left. Why no one felt the I should be acknowledged or offered assistance is baffling to me. Great customer service is rare but zero customer service is astonishing. If you're looking for a game, I'd suggest you try somewhere else.
Trevor A: Good selection of games, CCGs, and table-top RPGs. Friendly staff that was happy to give recommendations based on what we liked.
Sasan Ahmadi Asl: Little shop, not so many options on the paint and coloring section! A little unorganized in that section!
Jeff Dittmer: Wow, great help and amazing selection! If you can’t find it here I don’t think you’ll find it anywhere
Anthony Chow: Good selection of top end games, and wide variety, didn’t have some I was looking for (one was out of stock) but generally great place
Brenden V: Plenty of games for all kinds of gaming experience. The staff had plenty of recommendations for anything I asked.
Gigi Peters: Lise is super helpful every time I needed help or offering recommendations. This place is a gem and supports a local community of gamers by offering space for people to connect.
Hubert Courteau-Godmaire: Great advices to find a game for my friends and I
Tim Worthington: Absolutely fantastic selection of board games! Had a range of games that includes every style you can think of and the staff are super knowledgeable and helpful at finding the games you want.Personally picked up a Jan Sasaki game since they’re so hard to find, as well as Parks since the groups I play with tend to vary a lot in skill level.Would definitely recommend going here for all your board gaming needs
Markus Gerhard: Excellent selection of new and older games and especially Pen & Paper RPGs. I was able to find some Battletech books I’ve been searching for years. The staff was nice to chat with and to top it off I was given an oversized D20 for free.
Chad Rattie: Great selection and friendly staff
Andrew Martinez: Great store with amazing staff. These people know their stuff and are more than happy to lend a hand or provide some insight. Highly recommend
Jean-Simon Deslauriers: This place is a treasure trove for board game enthusiasts. They have a huge selection, including some long or of print stuff left. Somewhat or of the way of the city center, but if you like board games, is a must
Badger and Yew: Huge selection of games new and old. Knowledgeable and friendly staff, it's a little far from where we live but we always go when were at that end of the city. Great place for puzzles, rpg books and boardgames.
Charis Young: Amazing selection of games and resources, the staff is super friendly. One of my favorite places to browse and pick up new games.
William Vogel: Good people, always out of realeases .
John: Classic. Great staff and great selection, been coming here for years.
silberlichtchen: Have been going to this store for the past 10 years. One of the best games selections in town. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

María Sol Di Marco: Nice place, plenty of options un games
Brian Shaler: Recently got into board games. I have been to Strategies on Main and Magic Stronghold on Kingsway. This is by far the easiest place to shop. All the games are so perfectly organized and displayed. I would probably say the best selection of gateway games too. It doesn’t look like much on the outside (and being from Richmond I don’t like the location) but I could spend a lot of time poking around. The staff member wasn’t really talkative and didn’t seem to know much about the few games I was interested in, but I I called a few days before to put a hold on a game and the guy was super nice.
Sihn Pax: A bit hard to find in the small building but really cool store with awesome staff who like to talk games with you!
Alexa Reardon: We love this place! The staff are always super helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. Great selection of games for both casual and long-time board gamers.
Ren Ipe: Cool shop, love the Pre Con MTG selections they got here!
Anson Li: The Vancouver store seems to have more inventory and options but this store is welcoming and friendly.

crywalkr: This is a neat little toy store on Main Street that's packed full of modern and retro toys. They had some cool toys from the 80s like Slinky, an Etch-A-Sketch and Lite Brite as well as the latest Playmobil and Lego sets. My one disappointment is that they didn't have a traditional Jack in the Box. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I hope to go back one day
David Wu: Great service and great unique selection. Definitely a place we'll be going back to.
Cosmo Kwan: Love this store! Great toys and clean and friendly staffs. Well stocked and organized!

Fausto Inomata: They have several games I haven’t seen in other stores. Staff is super friendly! It’s become my favourite place in Vancouver
Andrew Gearhart: A hidden gem of a board game and TTRPG shop a few blocks away from the Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain station. Don't let the small size fool you! This brightly lit, well organized shop has a fantastic selection of popular, hobbyist, and niche titles. Their TTRPG selection is also great with books from many different publishers and the dice to go with. Finally, that staff are relaxed and yet eagerly helpful and knowledgeable.
Hastings Sunrise: These guys must love losing money! I travelled from afar only to find ridiculous 'Masks Required' signs on the front door. It's January 2023... Imagine chasing away customers like that.
Nic D'Angelo: Really great little store, packed with awesome games and goodies, staff is also really friendly and helpful.
Samantha Stade: Love this place
Cat ferris: Yay, thank you for still requiring masks for those of us that don’t want to get sick!
Fady Bert: The store has a very wide variety of board games. The sales rep was awesome, we asked him for games recommendations and he kept suggesting multiple games based on the games we had played before. He was very knowledgeable of the games he has in the store.
Jake Gibson: A fantastic store with incredibly friendly staff. Home to the best curated selection of games and books I've ever seen.
Kip Y: Friendly staff, definitely worth the extra effort to support local instead of giant retail corporations.
Nick: Good little shop that carries a great range of board games.
Rory Brimacombe: Great staff and selection!
Dandelion Thief: Tiny space packed floor-to-ceiling with games. So many games. A clown car amount of games. This is the perfect game store, condensed down small enough to fit in your pocket.Prices, especially for Magic cards, consistently lower than any other shop I know ofProbably single handedly inflating the property values for several blocks in every direction, as people move homes in order to live closer to this store
Jasmine Lemelin: went on a busy Christmas Eve for a last minute game, and the staff member working was very helpful and knowledgeable. A small shop with a wide selection of one of a kind games as well as the classics. Definitely check it out if you’re looking for something new!
Jade Konechy: I’ve never been so betrayed by a shop keeper before.I went in with my boyfriend waiting outside and asked if there was any root like games, he suggests a couple, I buy one, my friend and I exit but my boyfriend wants to go back in.I go in after a while to make sure no accidental hints come up, and when he tells the shop keep his favourite game is Root, HE PULLS OUT A GAME MADE BY THE SAME PEOPLE, WITH THE SAME ART, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT PRESENT.Looks were exchanged behind my boyfriends back as he did not hesitate to buy the copy of the game that would have been the PERFECT PRESENT.Edit: I brought back the game I bought that day and exchanged it for more stuff that I think would make a better present, and some other stuff, staff was very friendly and very helpful!
Gus Fowler: Great little game store! Good prices and selection.
Natsu Fujita: Small store but has a good selection of games.
Jasmine: Not for people looking for d&d books etc
Patrick Hung: There's a lot of selection for such a small shop!
Cam Marshall: Terrific little shop with amazing selection, great prices and kind staff 💜 well worth the trip out next time you’re considering ordering a game online!
Corey Baker: Awesome little board game shop on The Drive. Despite the small space, they have a surprisingly broad selection of top board games. Staff was friendly and very helpful in recommending games. The prices are within single dollars of "that big online store". Enjoy the in person experience and support local business at the same time!
Flynn Dixon Murdock: Great shop with great prices for Magic the Gathering in Vancouver

Matthew Lee: Tiny little game & hobby shop in the mall. Fairly good selection, surprisingly large selection of MTG products if you play.
Manny Angel: Cute store and Manager is funny. Was trying to get a discount for the Big Pop didn't go well lol.
Tomas Perez: One hidden gem in Metropolis, here you can find almost any board game you want, they host live sessions of different games so you can play or watch it played before buying, highly recommend giving them a visit! They have plenty of Jigsaws as well!
Jessie Guerin: Love all the different puzzles they have
William Chen: Very friendly staff. Anita was the best! She went out of her way to demo a game for us and shared all kinds of helpful advice about the board games we'd like.
Sasha Brint: Tried to get an employees attention for 10+ mins and they (David) were too busy chatting gwith a friend to help a customer. Waired to ask the other employee for help and she said nope I'm not on shift and said I'm going in my break (supervisor just finished interview) they lost a decent sale on items as I put everything down and walked out
Logan Cote: Ordered a crown zenith elite trainer box. They had them listed at 49.99. I ordered 3. They made some excuse up of limit of 1 per customer when they realized their advertising mistake. Refunded my order and stopped responding to my emails. They initially had told me they would honor 1 item at the 49.99 price but that's the best they could do. But now have simply canceled everything and ghosted me. Joke of a business who hides their mistakes by blanket excuses.
Sangwook Daniel Han: Nice store with a variety of games, figures, etc. Located a bit off the main corridor, which is probably why it's less busier than other stores but definitely worth a visit
Michelle Y.: This place has lots of cool stuff. If you like build it yourself stuff there's some awesome items here.
Alexander Humphrey: Great selection of games with friendly staff.
Milos Mandaric: Love the staff, very nice people and the DND is very excellent, only wish it was more often
Beatriz HM: Grande variedade de games, ótimo atendimento!
Darian Syde: Knowledgeable staff, who are very helpful; without being pushy! There are regularly new games, and during the slow seasons they seem to have demos
DevourerJay: Awesome store, just busy. The aisles are a tad narrow, but not too bad.
Muse: The store was a bit cramped in a wheelchair but the staff were quick to help move things around to help me out. They are incredibly friendly and sociable, great people to have a chat with while you look around. The only issue I had was my receipt which was... A little broken ^^" the total is correct, but it certainly threw me for a loop! Otherwise a 10/10 store with awesome staff and great selection.
Jonas Yoe: Love this store! Most impressed by the service we received tonight, I think his name was David (wore glasses, not positive that’s his name), he was an absolute professional and very knowledgeable on all products, helped us pick out a chess set, and some other things. Will definitely be back, thanks again!
briannocheeze: Friendly staff. Tight spacing makes in-store events a bit awkward.
Rick Kumar: Lots of quirky toys etc
Jen I: Has a great amount of games for everyone and every type of game your looking for

Nicole Parsons: The best store in Vancouver for all your magical, mystical treasures. This includes incense, gem stones, geodes, jewlery, tarot cards, unicorns, dragons, books and sorcery shirts of all kinds.
Azalynn Deuchler: I have shopped both locally and online from 4 provinces away and service in always amazing
Ooo A: Bought pendulums there and they are all foxy because they learned cunning from the shop owner, the pendulums are actually cheating me all the time
Laryssa Vachon: This store is one-of-a-kind and an all-time favourite place to visit for both me and my mom! I always have the best experience whether in-person or online - kind and helpful employees in the store, and always super quick and efficient delivery when I order anything on the website. A great place for spiritual people and fantasy lovers :)
Jacob Hand: Amazing store with wonderful staff!
Alyssa Litowsky: A place full of wonder. Another must-go-see-place when I visit Granville island.
Wendy J Holloway (Wendy J Holloway Coaching): So fun!!! You should see this store! Magic filled
Cheryl Martin: I love this place alot. My last trip in was yesterday November 22nd I needed some smugging sage. I also bought a ring and an essential oil (Mystic Musk) love that smell. The staff are really friendly and helpful as well.
Primavera Primavera: One of my favorite stores. They have everything!! ♡ystical and beautiful. Time I will always remember!!
Skein Game Podcast: Amazing selection of anything metaphysical you could ask for! Staff were friendly, patient and helpful while I tried on rings.
Kate Delacy: I worked at this shop years ago, l was just a young girl. I wont forget how mean the women were to me. Since having my own shop in England I realise how negative the energy was and they focus on making money. I would not buy anything there now. Compared to England the items are tacky and cheap. The owners Paula and Donna were very negative people. Whatever you buy you would need to cleanse it first to rid it of negative energy. Avoid.
Miracle Emery: Never got my order, a gift from my husband, they failed to put the street name down when shipping and left me trying to sort things out with Purolator. Thanks EVER so much.
John Hitsman: Ridiculous exchange policy. I bought 2 campaign books and some other items as a gift for my daughter. I travelled to another city to give them to her and it turns out she already had one of them. I just tried to exchange the book for another and was told that they wouldn’t do it for me as they have a 14 day + receipt policy for exchanges. For exchanges? I can understand returns, but just to exchange it for another campaign book? This is terrible customer service, buyer beware.
Suhani Jayatilake: I recently bought an Earth Dragon Hatchling for my future mother-in-law from their online store and it's absolutely gorgeous! It's a nice and hefty and the detailing on the statue is immaculate and insanely good quality. Shipping was extremely fast too, and it was packed securely. Needless to say, she absolutely loved it. :) Will definitely be purchasing from here again!
Canadian Navy Wife: Always new things to see and dream about. Always remember to get the incense.
Volodymyr Soroshchuk: Awesome place for fantasy fans!
Jeffrey U: Cool little shop my friend and I stumbled upon while visiting Granville Island! Super cool atmosphere, the clerks were super friendly! Next time I'm in Van I'll be stopping here again!
Stacey Harakas: Really unique and interesting store with a fascinating variety of products that you won't see anywhere else. I always look forward to visiting!
Himawari Goma: Ton of beautiful thing here
Carol 0: I was disappointed while shopping in Dragonspace today. They're not enforcing mask wearing + social distancing, in their employees and shoppers. When a shopper came right up next to me and leaned on me, that was pretty uncomfortable. I left because 🤷 pandemic and all.
H V: My sister from another mister never fails to be my rock and my voice of witchy wisdom when I see her. So sad to see that the store had moved, but I’m hoping to come out for a long overdue visit.

4worldlovers: Vancouver chess school is a top quality chess school in the lower mainland. It provides systematical training to students through excellent teachers. For only two years, my kid improves a lot and becomes a competent chess player for his grade level. We are very satisfied with this school!!
Taught by our many experienced coaches, groups of children the same age and level will progress through our curriculum step-by-step to improve their game. Classes include lessons, games with other students and weekly online homework.
With one-on-one coaching, students can progress more quickly through lessons tailored to their individual strengths and weaknesses. Our private lessons can be adapted for students of all ages and levels.

Sher: As a volunteer assistant coach of the chess camps, I felt the genuine trust and support from the teachers! The instructors gave every assistant coach some time every camp to teach the class some concepts, theories or tactics about chess. I can also tell that each student was encouraged to reach their full potential and play with confidence and resilience :)
wendy yuan: Our son has spent his last two years in VCS. It is first time we’ve seen our son become so dedicated and passionate about something. We can tell he loves chess and he is improving himself on all aspects throughout this journey. He’s transitioning into a more confident, diligent and energetic version of himself! This is all thanks to the chess curriculum and the wonderful coaches. If you have children who are currently expressing an interest in chess and just coincidentally lives in Vancouver, I believe VCS the best choice!
Tran Vinh: Our children began learning at Vancouver Chess School around six months ago. Their remarkable progress in chess is all thanks to the outstanding coaching and education provided by the school. Recently, they competed in the 2023 BC Provincial Chess Challenge and impressed us with their skill and confidence on the board. We could not be prouder of them, and it is entirely attributable to the school's dedication to excellence in chess education. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Vancouver Chess School for inspiring and supporting our kid's love for chess. Being a part of such an amazing community of chess enthusiasts is a privilege, and we are grateful for the opportunity. Once again, thank you for the excellent work that you do.
Mike Zhu: We settled in Vancouver last year, and since our child has experienced in China for 6 years, we hope to continue his interest in Vancouver. We are grateful to VCS for their weekly chess classes and frequent online or offline matches, which have greatly benefited for our child. If your child happens to have an interest in chess in Vancouver, especially live in West , try VCS. Teachers there are so professional and the diversity of the competition will make you feel value for money.
Anh Kim Nguyen: Chess classes and tournaments at Vancouver Chess School has significantly transformed our kid's chess study journey. He started barely understanding anything about 6 months ago, and is now able to complete meaningfully in provincial challenges. Teachers are very supportive, Chess Heroes back-end platform is clever and conducive to trigger kids' curiosity and long-term learning aspiration. The design of tournaments also encourage our kids greatly to try harder everytime to excel at what the game. Overall, we are very pleased with the progresses our kid made, and thankful for the wonderful education provided by VCS!

周淑霞: My son has learned chess for just half a year and has already participated in many competitions. We are very proud of him. Vancouver Chess School teaches every student with responsibility and is a great school for kids to have fun while learning something at!!

Carol Cao: This is a fun place to start learning chess. The teacher is patient and experienced. Group classes gather same level players together and are interactive and engaging. There are regular tournaments that give players more chances to practice and progress. My son loves this chess school and I'm happy I have made a right choice for him.
Eric Chan: Vancouver Chess School is fantastic! VCS is very well organized, structured, and provides learners of all levels with opportunities and support to improve their skills.. or to just have fun playing chess!As parents of a young chess fanatic, we've been looking for opportunities to feed our son's passion and make progress with his chess journey. We've tried a few local clubs and groups with mixed experiences. We're super glad to have found VCS and all the programs and tournaments that VCS hosts.Our experience with the coaches/instructors has been super positive. Gyan is patient and amazing at encouraging students. Tadas was also fantastic (teaching our son at a previous level). I'm sure the entire VCS team is encouraging and supportive to all students.The weekly lessons (offered in person / online) are well structured by introducing new concepts, tactics, positions, and reinforcing previous lessons. The approach to the lessons is wonderful at encouraging students to explore different concepts, translating the lessons into in-class tournaments, and building confidence (win or lose). Homework is assigned via the online platform. Each week, our son looks forward to the lessons and the homework!VCS also hosts regular online and in-person CMA-rated tournaments for students to compete in. These are well organized and provide students with opportunities to use their knowledge and challenge other students in a competitive setting, hopefully increasing their CMA ratings!I'd highly recommend Vancouver Chess School and the VCS team to anyone looking for a place to learn and improve at chess! VCS is an outstanding organization at keeping students excited and engaged with a great team of mentors, opportunities, and experiences.
Grateful li: An excellent place to learn chess! The teachers are all very professional and eager to teach their students new material. My son had a lot of fun learning at this school.
Gu Family: The school teaches professional chess technique and encourages sportsmanship. It meets where your child's level is whether it is beginner or advanced. It is an exciting journey for a child to keep improving and know that the coaches are always there to support their growth. The school hosts many CMA rated chess tournaments and organizes special functions to promote chess in the community. All events are super popular and always bring a good number of students and their families to join. It surely created lots of fond memories for us. We are happy that we have a world class chess school in Vancouver.
Svetlana Vigurs: VCS is amazing place for both children who are just starting or experienced. Instructors are great, very encouraging and supportive in children's journey. As a parent with no chess experience I had a lot of questions and Gyan was very quick to answer and explain everything to me. My daughter absolutely loves it there and her progress is incredible since she joined. I would highly recommend this school to everyone who loves chess and wish to improve their game.
Pengcheng Fang: I love vanchess! It taught my brother endgame techniques that he never knew about and tactics. I appreciate vanchess for its effective teachings. It is very good!

Kelvin Liew: Friendly owner and a nice selectiom of games.
João Lima: A great selection of boardgames and other hobby goodies. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable, and willing to put in orders for anything not in stock. Hard not to stop by whenever I’m in Brentwood!
Aimee C: A huge boardgame collection, along with other card game items. Have purchased a few games here at a very reasonable price. Would recommend supporting and checking out. You will not be disappointed.
María Sol Di Marco: Nice place, good variety
Bernard K: It has good selection of games. It's small but you will likely find what you need (I think ?). Know what you want heading there, because I didn't find the staff friendly enough to help with the selection. He seems offended that I asked him some help, but I guess I'm also a boardgame noob!
Chayadol Lomtong: The cards price is not that bad, i guess? I think the seal price is fair. the problem is the owner. He is really grumpy with an attitude like he want to close his shop 2 hours early or something. I mean you can close? Why keep it open, if you don't want to do business.Warning, this place also half ash selling single. What i mean is he sell single but don't want to sell it. If you want single you NEED to know what you looking for otherwise the owner will make a fuzz about it. (I just asked do you sell single? He already grumpy about the question)I heard a lot of good things about this place from the review. It's kinda disappointed tbh.
