Unit 91

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.

what kind of chess board are you looking for?

I bought my travel board/pieces years ago from wholesalechess

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.
