About
Grandmaster Games is a game store at 436 S Ridgeland Ave in Oak Park, Illinois, with a full week of organized play and a stock that covers board games, roleplaying books, miniatures, hobby supplies and trading card games. Magic: The Gathering is the center of the calendar, with tournaments or casual play most nights, and Pokémon, Star Wars: Unlimited and Flesh and Blood are also carried. It suits players who want a regular night to show up to, and collectors who want to buy or sell singles.
The store buys and sells singles for Magic, Pokémon and other trading card games. Magic singles can be ordered online and picked up in the store, and players can also order a built deck. Beyond cards, the shelves hold board games, roleplaying books, miniatures and hobby supplies, which makes it as much a general tabletop shop as a card shop. The store sells online as well, and its board game range runs from Catan to heavier titles such as Spirit Island and Darkest Dungeon.
Evening events start at 7 PM and run to 10 PM on weekdays. Pioneer covers cards released from 2013 onward, and the Saturday Commander session is casual and social, running all day. The Sunday board game demos are pitched at beginners, so they are the easiest way in for anyone new to the hobby.
