About

Checkmate is west Toledo's Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS).  We specialize in uncommon games from around the world that are not found at the “Big Box” stores, as well as providing a venue for a community of all ages that are interested in courteous competition and meeting others who have a shared interest in tabletop gaming as a hobby.

Checkmate hosts activities, tournaments and events designed to bring players together and serve as a hub of communication, allowing players to find each other for tabletop gaming.

These services are provided in a fun, clean, family-safe atmosphere where the spirit of good sportsmanship is encouraged.

Established Friday the 13th, 2011 we carry collectable card games (such as Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! , Legend of the Five Rings, Kaijudo, Vanguard: Cardfight, Pokemon and more), miniature games (Warhammer , Warmachine, Malifaux, HeroClix and more), Role Playing games (Dungeons & Dragons etc), traditional board games (chess, mancalla, Mah Jongg), popular euro games (Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Dominion) and many great games you may have never yet heard of!  Every week we look around to find more good, quality tabletop entertainments to introduce to you.
