Game Stores in St. Louis

[Robert Bendig]

I imagine this is a long shot, but I'll be in St. Louis for a week in June and
am looking for any good game stores to check out while I'm there.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

st.louis is pretty much a dull sight as game stores go

the best one that i've been to is called vintage comics and games off
of manchester road in the town of manchester or ballwin i believe

it has your basic avalon hill selection with some other stuff

also has a lot of comics and stuff

interesting place and they give a 15 percent discount off of the list
price of all games if i'm not mistaken

I too live in St. Louis (Ballwin actually). Here are some stores in our
area.

1) The Fantasy Shop (4 locations)

7525 N. Lindbergh
Hazelwood, MO 63042
831-5211

203 N. Kirkwood
Kirkwood, MO 63122
965-3231

7238 Manchester Rd.
Maplewood, MO 63143
644-3713

437 N. Main St.
St. Charles, MO 63301
947-8330

Good selection at all stores. St. Charles store oldest, Hazelwood
biggest. Also has RPG, boardgames, minatures, comics, books, related
stuff.

2) Games, Crafts, Hobbies and Stuff
9220 Lackland Rd.
Overland, MO 63114
423-2199

Good store too. Has a game room which I've never been to. Lots of family
games, but heavy on RPG, CCG, minatures and wargames.

3) Vintage Books and Comics
Dickens Plaza
15248 Manchester Rd.
Ballwin, MO 63011
394-2664

Good store. Comics/books first, but good selection of games. Always a
15% discount on games. RPG, CCG all available, and some minatures.

1) & 2) have auctions periodically where some good stuff can come out of
the woodwork.

Some stores not in St. Louis but relatively near:

4) Castle Perilous
Suite 203
715 S. University
Carbondale, IL 62901-2855
800-297-2160

5) The Danger Room
126 S. 9th St.
Columbia, MO
573-449-6896

6) Dream Time Games
27 N. 10th St.
Columbia, MO
573-443-4722

Two others of limited use:

7) The Hobby Shop
4924 Hampton Ave.
351-4818

8) Hobbytown USA
Out in West County (look in phonebook)

Both are more toward trains, models etc but have some RPG, CCG and
wargame, and miniatures. 7) has many minatures, but I don't play them so
could not assess their assortment. You will have better luck at 1), 2)
and 3) all of which I think are fine stores.

There are several comic stores around town too, many of which cary CCG and
some cary RPG materials. You might find a game or two in some of these
places. I would call first. All are listed in the Yellow Pages.
