Does Game Paradise sell board games?
Yes, Game Paradise sells a variety of board games that are also stocked in the library. Due to the unique nature of the library, many games contained within it are no longer in print and thus are not available for purchase. We also carry gaming paraphernalia such as dice, books, dice bags, replacement parts, etc.
Does Game Paradise rent games?
No. All library games stay in the library for the duration of their lives. However, if you have fallen head over heels for a board game that is currently in print, we would be happy to sell you a copy. Otherwise you are always welcome to come visit your favorite game any time you like.
How much does it all cost?
Access to the library is at a "per hour" cost, with a maximum cost assigned. The per hour cost and maximum cost vary based upon different criteria. Discounts are also assessed for patrons taking part in events. Please see our Products and Services page for a complete list of details and prices.

You call yourself a library?!
You don't even have a copy of ________!
Yes, there are certainly games we don't carry. There are thousands, even hundreds of thousands of board games in the world. We currently have a respectable collection of over 500 of them. We are constantly expanding, and would love to take suggestions on what to add, but we are well aware that we don't have everything.
I have a local gaming group. Can I reserve a table for us?
Yes! We would love to make Game Paradise your weekly/monthly/bimonthly gaming group meet-up spot! Give us a call, or shoot us an email, and we would be happy to work out the details with you. (Details which could include group discounts, inclusion on our online events calendar, etc)
Is outside food and drinks permitted?
Yes and no. While we aim to keep our customers as comfortable as possible, we kindly ask that you not bring outside food and drink. However, drinks and snacks can be purchased from your friendly Game Paradise clerk. If you think you have a special circumstance, let us know and we would be happy to discuss arrangements with you. Special circumstances could include: throwing a birthday party and wanting to bring a cake, having special dietary needs, etc. Heavily limiting outside food and drink allows us to both stay in business and provide a safe atmosphere for our patrons. So while it might be a slight inconvenience, we appreciate your understanding.
