Vanguard is a center for gaming and learning. Games, not just "educational games," are educational. We do roleplaying games (e.g., Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars), board games (e.g., Catan, Dixit, Ticket to Ride), miniature games (e.g., Warhammer, Star Wars, Marvel), and card games (e.g., Magic, Pokemon, Lorcana, Star Wars, Altered, Yu-Gi-Oh). Unplug and play! Our mission is to grow community through gaming.
Gather. Game. Grow.


We buy $5+ trading cards for 66% of TCGPlayer market value in store credit. You can create and submit a buylist at TCGVanguard.Com.

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."
