Wolf Games and Models

Wolf Games and Models is a full-line hobby shop at 54 Federal Ave NE in Massillon, Ohio. It sits closer to the model-kit and tabletop-gaming end of the hobby than the card-shop end: plastic kits, Gundams, trains and R/C cars share the floor with Magic: The Gathering and a run of miniatures and role-playing games. It suits someone who wants to browse a wide hobby selection in one stop, and a Magic player who also builds or paints.

What's on the shelves

The model side of the store covers plastic model kits, Gundams, trains, R/C cars and rockets, along with paints and supplies for finishing them. The gaming side carries board games and Magic: The Gathering. Miniatures and wargaming are represented by Warhammer, Flames of War and Bolt Action, and role-players have Dunegeons & Dragons and Pathfinder to choose from. The range extends beyond that list, which makes the store a practical place for a mixed-interest household: one person can look through kits while another browses games.

Magic is the only trading card game the store carries. Collectors of sports cards and other card games will find more focused stock elsewhere in town (see the local scene below).

Hours and getting there

The store keeps a five-day week with long evenings on Thursday and Friday.

Saturday is the only day the doors open at 10 AM, which makes it the longest stretch of daytime browsing.

The address is 54 Federal Ave NE, Massillon.

The local scene

Massillon has several other card-focused shops within a few miles. Elite Sportscards is at effectively the same location, and Heroic Adventures Comics & Pop Culture is about 2.2 miles away. 172 Sports Cards and Used2bNew Sports Cards & Collectibles are each about 2.8 miles out, and Paul's Gamerzone is about 3.6 miles away. Most of these lean toward sports cards and collectibles, so Wolf Games and Models stands out in the area for its model kits and tabletop games alongside Magic.
