Scalliwag Toys is by definition, a Friendly Local Game Store, or FLGS, located in the heart of Downtown Belleville in Ontario, Canada. We sell tabletop games including board games, wargames like Warhammer, and tabletop roleplaying games and accessories like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and more. We also sell educational toys, puzzles, plush, and plenty of unique gifts and fidget-y toys.

As an FLGS, we provide a retail experience that you can’t find at your local big-box stores or when you purchase from a similarly massive entity online. Scalliwag Toys is a gathering place - we support our local communities of game enthusiasts, hobbyists, and folks who are looking for creative and fun ways to play and explore. We provide an in-store play area with regularly-scheduled gaming events, workshops, and activities for a wide ranges of ages and interests.

Community is at the core of our business, and by design we are an inclusive, safe space for folks like us who are a little bit odd, a touch neurospicy, a smidgen spooky, and ultimately looking for a place to belong and be themselves.

We are also excited to offer activities where we guide you beyond our doors too, through our Wander Local Walking Tours program! Click below for more information and to book your spot today.

Imaginative play at any age

Play is for everyone

Play is important for kids AND grown-ups alike, and is a key component of healthy minds, emotional and social development, and creative critical thinking. Humans and other animals learn best through play!

Imagination. Creativity. Curiosity. Wonderment.

Our world is a complex amazing place, and we love to help you explore it - whether it’s in the pages of a book, the theme of a board game, or a story experienced on our walking tours or RPG night.

In-Store Gaming & Communities

We host events and in-store play for our gaming communities on a weekly or otherwise regular basis. For details on available gaming options, click below
