Welcome to the Finest Game Store in Raleigh!
With the New Year comes our Golden Deals. These are great deals on games currently in stock, 20% or more off retail, so you can come by the shop to check them out. We will be adding more games each week. You can see the updates in our Specials tab on this site. Take advantage of these prices while supplies last.
The Game Connection is an independent game store and hobby supplies store located in the Shoppes at Midway Plantation in the Raleigh Knightdale NC area, about 1/2 mile from I-540. You can also join us on Facebook and our Yahoo group.

We are a full service game store featuring Board Games, Card Games, Jigsaw Puzzles and Tabletop Miniature Games like Warhammer 40K. Our game theory is to cater to all skill levels from beginners to experienced. We also offer role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, collectible card games like Magic the Gathering and puzzles from Ravensburger. Visit the store and check out our Game of the Week or come to "Family Board Game Night" every Tuesday night. We not only will feature and demonstrate exciting and unusual board games and card games, but will give you recommendations to help you find what you are looking for.
We have over 6 tables of various sizes for your in store gaming needs. There is a variety of terrain to use for your miniature games and Free Wi-Fi for any gaming that requires a computer.
People of all ages who have an interest in 'connecting' with family and friends can participate in playing a variety of non-electronic games for fun and entertainment. The Game Connection will show you how to play the game and has a space for you and your friends to come play your games or try new ones. Unlike computer games, our games are completely portable. From our gaming room to your dining room table to a friend's house to the family beach trip, our games can go anywhere you're comfortable playing them - and they don't require batteries!
The Game Connection partners with parents and the local area school PTAs of the younger consumer to tailor seminars, demos, host games and game-theme birthday parties to 'connect' the younger generation to use games and activities to help them learn educational concepts, game etiquette, and social skills. We encourage parents who may have questions to consult with us and ask for a game demo before making a purchase decision. After a game is purchased, ask your child to teach you how to play, even though you learned how to play the game from us. You may never develop the same passion for the game as your child does (although you might!), however, you'll certainly feel more 'connected' with your child and they will appreciate teaching you something new!
While TV, the Internet, and computer/console games constantly compete for our attention, wouldn't it be nice to get back to basics and 'connect' personally with others while having a great time!
Remember its all fun and games at The Game Connection!
