About Us

What makes our web store different and better from most other sites is the fact that we run our web store right out of a real brick and mortar game store, that has been in business for over 20 years. The store and web site are operated seven days a week, not just Monday – Friday.

The owners and staff are all gamers and while it is impossible for any one person to be an expert in all areas of games and puzzles, our team approach allows us to come close. In store, our goal is to offer a relaxed atmosphere with the best products available with the support that the big box stores simply cannot offer. We have games open and on display for teaching and in store gaming, we also run weekly tournaments. 

Our web store has been in operation for over 6 years and has successfully fulfilled more than 20,000 orders The Games by James chain of stores have been in operation since 1979 and we take our games and customer service seriously. 

We want you to enjoy your shopping experience!

Please contact us if you have any problems, questions or concerns about your order. Please also feel free to contact us if you need game recommendations or if there are games you would like to see us carry, but are currently not offered.
