| - I'll bet you didn't know this, but I go bonkers for jigsaw puzzles. I probably own about a hundred, and almost all of them are from Valet D'Coeur, which is an enormous game store.
When the standard offerings at The Bay or Toys R Us become child's play (ie less than 1000 pieces), Valet D'Coeur is the place to go. They stock tons of difficult and high piece count puzzles that will make you crazy and take over all flat surfaced areas of your apartment for weeks on end. Whenever I go back to Montreal, I pay a visit and pick up something new.
In addition to puzzles they also carry beautiful renditions of classic games like chess, poker, Go, Scrabble (replacement tiles too) and other gambling accessories. My friend Marika was at one time really into yoyoing and found many of her favourites here.
They also sell a dizzying array of gaming figurines and other trinkets with names that terrify me. I have no idea what a "Code of the Orzhov Theme Deck" or "Betrayers of Kamigawa Booster" are, but they sell both. So if you're into that (pretend this word is italicized), just know that they stock it.
I've never tried the online store, but it's there and shipping across Canada is only $5!
