Citadel Games

This place has a really great selection of hobby games. Tons of miniatures with a decent area for open gaming. Lots of puzzles, war games, and models as well. There’s probably the best selection of Euro games here that you’ll find in New England.
Unfortunately, the location and ambience of the store really brings it down. It is literally in a cellar, and the whole place feels dusty and old. The atmosphere isn’t very welcoming, but the selection does make up for it to a certain extent.

I love this place! It was my first introduction in the early 2000’s to Euro/​German-​style/​Designer board games. The original location had tons of these games while it also managed to include other (hobby) board games & card games, RPGs, CCGs, gaming magazines, minis, and even an entire aisle of true wargames.
A few years ago, I made my usual vacation detour and found the storefront vacant. I was crushed, assuming for these last couple of years that it had gone out of business, but I am excited to say not only is the store still in business (it’s about three lots down the street from the old location, but hard to see from the road), but it’s even bigger than before! This is a great place to find not only new games, but a ton of out-​of-​print items as well. The only negative I can think of is that the prices tend to be retail, which is often the case in this industry, but it’d be nice to see discounts on the really old CCGs and small-​print RPGs that may not really be able to demand full price anymore.
Overall, I am very happy to say I can resume my yearly pilgrimage to what seems to be the biggest collection of games in New England!

Neat place, huge selection of new old stock games, and some current stuff too, very interesting. I even found some old unopened 8-​bit computer games. Prices are kind of high, especially when one considers the prices on eBay and Amazon. Be sure to ask about sales, they seem to depend on what you are looking at. You might just find that rare game book you always wanted!
