The Compleat Strategist - New York

I’d seen ads for the Compleat Strategist in Dragon Magazine back in the day, so it was nice to visit when I was in Manhattan. There’s a huge selection of games and friendly staff, but it’s a small space and a little cramped, so not easy to see all they have to offer.

If you’re a board game enthusiast and in NYC, stop by this store. You will not be disappointed..it was worth the stop in.

The extensive selection caters to both newcomers and seasoned gamers, ensuring everyone finds something to love. The knowledgeable staff is always ready to offer recommendations and assist with any queries. Our excitement was palpable as we explored the well-organized aisles, discovering new games and old favorites. Whether you're into role-playing, strategy, or miniatures, The Complete Strategist is a must-visit destination for any gaming enthusiast. Highly recommended for its variety, expertise, and welcoming atmosphere.

A small but packed space with pretty everything you could need for board games, RPGs, card games, and practically anything that involves dice. Compleat Strategist is a must-visit if you need game materials in a pinch!

Ok...wow. it's a game store...where you can actually BUY games...not a game store where you play games and they sell a few games on the side, but they have an inventory of about 10 "game" stores...and it's stacked to the ceiling. See pictures for details.

Staff is extremely knowledgeable. I listened to several conversations on recommendations for different styles of games. They know their stuff.

I highly recommend you move this store from out of the shadow of the Empire State Building down to the Brandon area in FL...just a suggestion.

Oh, and if you are in the area, that big building to the west is cool, but not as cool as this little treasure trove of games.

More like the complete game store! It feels like a library of board games ranging from chess and mahjong to D&D and party games. There are stacks and stacks and stacks of board games. A huge section of it are D&D games, expansions, stories, and figurines. The staff are nice and efficient. It’s definitely a cool place to come for your own board game collection.

A magical place. They have everything--it's a great store and so much fun to just peruse the shelves. I always walk out with something fun. Friendly, knowledgeable staff as well. Long may they reign.

The Mecca of all board games shops in New York! Have been coming to this shop for over 13 years. It’s rare they don’t have a board game you’re looking for and the catalog for dungeons & dragons books, figures, dice can’t be beat. Don’t expect to sit down and play. It’s a literal fantastic library of fun to take home with friends and family. My only criticism is I wish they had more trading card games available like One Piece & Digimon.
