Board Game Shops In Brisbane
Presents of Mind
Presents of Mind in Paddington has been the go-to board game shop in Brisbane for me for many years. It has the most beautiful, quaint atmosphere, wonderful service and shelves after shelf after shelf stacked high with a range of classic and unique board games. Seriously, I can spend ages just wandering around this store looking for my latest buy. The store prides itself on stocking unique finds and other educational and fun puzzles and games. Be warned, allow a little bit of time to explore!
Presents of Mind now also have stores at Indooroopilly and Fairfield if that is easier for you to get to.

More Than Meeples
More than Meeples bills itself as a hobby, collectable & online Board Game Shop. It use to be an online-only store but now has a physical shop based in Fortitude Valley. They have thousands of board games listed on their website too. If you do head into the valley store, just know that you need to push the buzzer on the door and then someone will come and let you through.

Good Games Brisbane
Good Games has a huge franchise of stores around Australia and we have two of their board game shops in Brisbane, one based in Spring Hill and the other in Mt Gravatt. Both stores have a range of board games that you can purchase in-store but there are also over 7,000 board games listed online that you can purchase and have shipped from their warehouse. For that reason alone we thought they deserved a mention on this list as you can search through all their online stock and call the stores in Brisbane to see if they have it in stock or if you have any questions about a game.
Shop Location: 74 Little Edward Street Spring Hill, 4000 | Suite 8, 2012 Logan Rd, Mount Gravatt, 4122

Gametraders
Gametraders can be found near the Westfield Chermside food court (the original one) and think of themselves as board game specialists. Their board game section (with a couple of hundred board games) can be found near the rear of the store and there is a healthy selection there for any board game enthusiast to explore. If the game is listed on their site, then you should be able to pick it up in-store!
