Checkmate Games and Hobbies

★★★★★

“I love Checkmate! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Each member has wide variety of knowledge about not only cards, but the games they revolve around as well. My sister and I are there often to play Pokemon and the community they have created is wonderful! My fav game store in T-Town.”

“The owner stopped what he was doing and dug deep in his stock to find me some really obscure and rare items, and he gave me a great deal. What more can you ask for? Checkmate is hands down the winner among all the game stores in Toledo at customer service. Checkmate has the city's best selection of vintage game books, as well as a solid selection of board games and tabletop roleplaying games. They also have a very solid play area for a store their size with a large selection of games to play and a small selection of used board games.”

★★★★★

“I can’t say enough great things about Checkmate. They always have the best prices around and it is clear they care about their customers and local community. The preorder process is awesome and their customer service is top tier.”

“I've been to a lot of game stores in the Toledo area, and Checkmate is the absolute best for atmosphere and employee helpfulness. Everyone working there was chill, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful without it feeling like they were trying to sell me something. Selection and prices were good, too, especially for M:TG singles.”
