About North Bay Games and Hobbies

Our Legacy & Our Future

Established in 1989, North Bay Games and Hobbies has been the cornerstone of the Northern Ontario gaming community for over three decades. Originally founded as a destination for hobbyists to find their favorite kits and cards, the shop has entered an exciting new chapter under the leadership of Azucena Saucedo Mena and David Claudio.

As passionate advocates for the hobby, Azucena and David are dedicated to preserving the "old school" magic of the local game store while evolving it into a modern, inclusive, and high-energy hub for the next generation of players.

What We Offer

We pride ourselves on being North Bay’s ultimate destination for "all things hobby." Our shelves are stocked with a carefully curated selection of:

• Tabletop Gaming: A massive library of Board Games, RPGs (like Dungeons & Dragons), and the latest TCGs (Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Disney Lorcana, and more).
• The Hobbyists' Workbench: A full suite of Games Workshop miniatures (Warhammer 40,000 & Age of Sigmar), Gundam plastic model kits (Gunpla), and a professional range of paints, tools, and brushes.
• Puzzles & More: A diverse collection of puzzles and unique hobby supplies for all ages and skill levels.

Our Mission: Play Local, Connect Often

Our mission is simple: to build a vibrant community through the power of play. We believe that gaming is a stealth learning tool, it builds critical thinking, literacy, and social cooperation. At NBGH, we value inclusivity, creativity, and the joy of a shared experience. Whether you’re a veteran painter or a first-time player, you have a seat at our table.

The NBGH Difference

What sets us apart is our commitment to bringing the experience to you. While our shop at 179 Main Street W is our home base, we are dedicated to community outreach. From Board Game Jamborees in local schools to one-of-a-kind Corporate Team Building events, we believe that the best gaming memories happen wherever the community gathers. We don’t just sell boxes; we facilitate experiences.
