The Compleat Strategist is New York City’s venerable and much loved adventure game headquarters, called a “gamers' paradise” and a “must visit” destination by gamers from around the world. We've been serving gamers in NYC for 45 years and we have additional locations in PA and VA, too!

Our in store inventory in NYC is truly staggering. We carry tabletop games including board games, rpgs, card games, dice, and miniatures. Our shelves bow under the weight of board games, and you’ll find core books, resources, and expansions for roleplaying game systems you only vaguely remember, nestled in our shelves.

Every gamer finds something new to try, or something old to fill them with nostalgia, whenever they visit. You can find us at 11 East 33rd Street, between Madison and Fifth Avenue, around the corner from the Empire State Building. We’re open 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday-Saturday, and closed on Sundays.

Online, we offer only a small sample of what’s available in our store, but we update this site daily with the latest new releases. To fully explore the many worlds of tabletop gaming and to locate new games and new resources, we hope you’ll visit.

As it did most businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic hit our business hard, but we’re bouncing back with safety precautions in place, curbside pickup available for those who prefer, and free shipping on orders over $30 from this online store.

Check out our reviews on Google, Yelp, and Facebook to see the outpouring of positive responses we’ve had from our many customers over the years. Follow us on social media to see our posts about new games, special offers, and game industry news.

Every order is a huge help to us during these challenging times. We appreciate your patronage, and hope to remain your friendly local game store in New York City for years to come. We look forward to introducing future generations of gamers to a wealth of games, game systems, and worlds, in a safe shopping environment, where every gamer and game lover is welcome, from the RPG Game Masters with forty years experience, to someone shopping for their very first board game.
