Nestled in the heart of Novato, California, The Game Fortress is not just a store; it’s a beacon for community and camaraderie, founded by two local brothers with a passion for bringing people together. Far more than a mere retail space, The Game Fortress is a sanctuary designed to transport you to a realm where imagination and strategy reign supreme. Our store, themed as a medieval fortress complete with “brick/stone” walls, a faux fireplace, and adorned with shields, offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that invites gamers and non-gamers alike to explore the rich tapestry of tabletop gaming.
Our mission is to forge a vibrant gaming community, a place where individuals can escape the isolation of digital screens and engage in the joy of face-to-face play. We specialize in an extensive array of tabletop games, including a wide selection of board games, card games, TCGs like Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon, TTRPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons, miniatures games, plushies, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to the world of tabletop gaming, our knowledgeable staff is on hand to guide you through our vast selection and help you find the perfect game.
The Game Fortress is not just about sales; it’s about experiences. We host weekly events that cater to all interests and skill levels, from Friday Night Magic Drafts and Lorcana tournaments to Pokemon gatherings and Dungeons & Dragons sessions. These events are the cornerstone of our community-building efforts, providing a space for players to meet, compete, and share their love for gaming.
Moreover, our store features a dedicated game area where visitors can dive into any title from our free library, offering a taste of the countless adventures that await within our walls. The themed room for private gaming sessions adds an extra layer of immersion, allowing groups to embark on epic quests in a setting that mirrors the fantastical worlds they explore.
The Game Fortress stands as a testament to the power of games to unite people, fostering friendships and creating unforgettable memories. We invite you to step into our fortress, where every visit is an adventure and every game played strengthens the bonds of our growing community. Join us at The Game Fortress, where every gamer feels at home, and discover the magic of tabletop gaming in Novato.
