Chess N Math

Whether you're looking for a fun indoor activity or just like working out your brain, Strategy Games in Mount Pleasant Village has got all of your board game needs covered.

“We have a lot of games that you couldn’t get elsewhere,” says Laura Hamstra, a manager at Strategy Games. “We have a lot of popular games as well, but when people ask for games, we try to get them in.” Whether you’re looking for the classics like Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit; or newer, arguably more complicated and challenging games like Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Gloom or Pandemic, Strategy Games has it.

As soon as you walk in, you’ll notice a long shelf full of hundreds of different board games. Strategy Games has a noticeable focus on games that are more strategy focused as opposed to games like Twister. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about the games in the store, knowing how long they take to play, how many players are ideal, which ones are good and which ones are bad – all that good stuff.

There is, however, one age-old strategy game that has a special meaning to Strategy Games – chess. Opposite to the massive wall of games is a trophy case full from various chess tournaments won through the Chess ‘N Math Association.
