I'm looking for a good game store. No, not video games. The old kind with pieces and boards and such. I'd like to get a new chess board. Anyone know of such a place?

Thanks in advance for all the wonder advice and all the useless awesome.

There used to be a store in Vallco shopping center called 'Game Masters' but I think they closed down with 90% of the mall.

 

theres a game store in oakridge mall

legend of the game or something like that

there's one in morgan hill if you want to swing down that far

 

what kind of chess board are you looking for?

I bought my travel board/pieces years ago from wholesalechess
http://www.wholesalechess.com/

I have Super Staunton Collector Chess Pieces - 4" King, and they are quad weighted, meaning they weigh 4 times more than tournament pieces
and a normal sized vinyl rollup tournament board, blue/white squares with a cool carrying bag

 

Toys R Us?

 

I think Legends is still open at Vallco mall in Cupertino.

 

Nothing super fancy. Just need one that allows chess to be played. Not too expensive, either. I just prefer to pick one up in person for now. Later I can get a nicer one.

You'd think so, but I was at Toys R Us down the road and they have almost nothing in the way of games. Their chess sets were those 100/1 game things and I don't really want the extra crap.

 

Last one I saw that I thought was cool was with a board that was just alternating marble tiles at granite store.

Probably pick one up with netting for ~$20

Target or Walmart should have the basic chess set in their board games section.

I do remember Valley Fair having a board game store years ago, but not sure if it's still there.
