As usual, the standard disclaimer applies. This section, like all the others is a work in progress and always will be. If something is missing or incorrect, drop us a line at info@EdmontonNerdList.com and we’ll fix it! (Also, we’re linking to an awesome map created by a local guy, Jason Robert Statham… It has everything. See it here.)
**One special note is that Mission: Fun & Games is also the home of BoardGames.ca, an online source for board games worldwide.**
Stores:
I’ve added a note in brackets if a store has play tables or if they maintain a selection of board games for you to try as needed.
