"Excellent third space.

canton is a solid community of local gamers, catering towards board games, used video games, and card games. the shop owner dan has been a staple part of the community for decades and is always welcoming for anyone who lives in baltimore or to anyone even just passing through

dan has made the most of the small space in the shop to maximize positive gaming experience and retail. the local players who regularly show up are consistent at helping newer and younger players feel like they're playing right at home."

What We Are About

Fun!

Games are fun, and we love to play them! Whether you play video games, board games or RPGs, you will find something great to play! If you didn't find something fun while you're in here, then you accidentally walked into the neighbor's garage.

Local!

We're a small, locally owned business. We're not owned by a mega corporation who wants to send our CEO to space - we're a small, family run business whose owner really WANTS to go to space, but he'll settle for sending his kids to Gymnastics camp.

Community!

We have the absolute best people who play here. Winning is great, but the focus is on making friends and having a great time. Games are meant to be fun, and we work hard to make sure that everyone who shows up is enjoying themselves. If you're not having fun for some reason, come tell us and we'll make it right.

Inclusive!

Everyone is allowed and welcomed at our tables. All genders, all levels of neurodivergence, identities, religions, skin tones, etc. Everyone is welcome to play here. And in order to make sure that everyone is welcomed, that means we actively don't allow "THAT GUY" to play in the store. We've banned him before and we'll ban him again.

"One of the best game stores I've been to anywhere. This is a true gamer's paradise, unlike a lot of stores which contain mostly comic books with a little section of games. The store is clean and well lit, and all of the staff and customers are always fun to be around. They usually have multiple copies of all the mainstay games and can order anything they don't have in stock.

They have fun events almost every day of the week/weekend depending on what games you like to play. I went with my wife on a Thursday night for their Android: Netrunner night, and the owner taught us how to play with his cards before we had our own. We've also been on a Saturday for open gaming and everyone there was friendly and willing to teach us new games.

This is a great place with something for everyone--whether you're a casual gamer, hardcore gamer, or even if you've never played anything before and are looking for an easy way to get into it. Canton Games is a perfect example of what American small businesses should strive for. There are game stores that are closer to where I live but I would much rather drive out of my way to come here."
