Holiday Gift Giving Guide: What We Asked Santa For

Curious what the staff at 401 Games themselves want to see under the Christmas tree?

Aaron, Head of Yu-Gi-Oh

Wants: DC Comics Deck-Building Game

"I love comics, and card games and I don't have to worry about collecting a ton of cards 

like Yu-Gi-Oh."

Dylan, Board Games Manager and Head of Online Orders

Wants: Shakespeare

"A great mix of worker activation and tableau building.

 With multiple paths to victory and great theme, this game is worthy of the name!" 

Lucas, Yu-Gi-Oh Specialist

Wants: Kittens in a Blender

"I like to destroy cute things"

Maya, Cashier

Wants: Star Trek Catan

"I'm a giant Trekkie. Resistance to this game is futile"

Vicky, Social Media Coordinator and Cashier

Wants: Marco Polo

"I'm all about the theme, and I love mid weight Euro games!"

Justin, Magic Specialist

Wants: Commander 2011 deck: Political Puppet

"These are so hard to find now, and this is the last one!" 

Zoran, General Manager and RPG Expert

Wants: Barba Rossa

"It had me at 'cute German military girls rush against Moscow to defeat the 

evil magician Stalin'"

Bryan, Pokemon Specialist

Wants: Dead of Winter

"This game is the bomb. Especially when you're the betrayer."

Cody, Board Games Specialist

Wants: Cthulhu Wars

"Well if Santa is getting me whatever I want, I'm going to shoot 

big and go for Cthulhu Wars!"

Dani, Cashier and Graphic Designer

Wants: Dungeon Petz

"It's pretty much Tamagotchi the board game! You can clean up their poop!"

Jeff "Anisman", Magic Specialist

Wants: Twilight Struggle

"I'm a history buff and love deeply strategic war games so this is a definite must for my collection. I've had a 14 win streak with this game when I played with my friend but I don't own it!"

From the staff at 401 Games we wish you all an amazing holiday season! Stay warm, stay safe, and happy gaming!

Holiday Gift Giving Guide: Stocking Stuffers and More

'Tis the season of giving! Whether it goes in an advent calendar, gets tucked into a stocking, or stuffed into a pinata we've scoured the store for little creative, fun, and nerdy goodies.

Mystery Mini / Blind Boxes

A lot of the fun is in not knowing what you're going to pull from the tiny box. Will it be your favourite character? A rare figure? Mystery Minis come in a large range of franchises so it's easy to match someone up with a series they like (i.e. Fallout or My Little Pony).

SET Mini Tin Games

These mini tins of games from the SET family are so convenient for fun on the go. Easy to learn card games revolving around pattern recognition, matching symbols, and making sets.

Dice Sets

Starting at $4.95, dice are essential accessories for a variety of games. If they play trading card games, or rpgs, they'll need dice. Tons of fun colours and designs to suit various tastes and personalities.

Funko Pop Minis and Keychains

The collectible Funko Pop craze has hit us full force. Funko now produces mini keychain versions of certain sets and they'll be easier to conceal in an advent calendar then a full sized Pop figure.

Pack o Games Series

The Pack o Games Series by Chris Handy is literally the size of a pack of gum. They're clever tabletop games, each with unique theme and gameplay, that'll delight and challenge family and friends.
