Testimonials

"This place is great. The owner is really good with kids and is always giving the kids free cards and various other gifts. I take my kids every few weekends for events where they can trade or sell cards and they teach the kids how to play card games."

Kenny

Testimonials

"Wonderful staff! Tons of space to play! Great board game selection, even some are open for anyone to use at the store. There's almost always people there building or painting models, sorting or playing cards, and it has a very lively Magic The Gathering scene. Great place to meet friends and have a great time! Highly recommend!!!"

About Us

Vanguard has six rooms for tabletop gaming. The first floor is wheelchair accessible, and the second floor is overflow. Vanguard also has a miniature-painting station with air-brush booth and (coming soon!) a cosplay workshop. Finally, Vanguard houses a full-service hobby shop for all your tabletop gaming needs.

Sean has 15+ years of teaching experience including Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School and Tufts University, and he earned his doctorate in Human Development and Education from Harvard University. "I've been inspired whenever I walk into a game shop with players playing. Game shops are community centers that appeal to not only outgoing extroverts but also reserved introverts. They are a lifeline for many of us, myself included. I want to create a playing space that amplifies and maximizes the community element of friendly local game shops. I love our community."
