Experts in Riga’s board game scene, Brain Games have gained a solid reputation over the years. This shop on the corner of Barona and Bruņinieku streets is the first choice among locals when looking for a board game.

It is possible to not only purchase many indoor and outdoor games here but also be a part of their board game club – join many enthusiasts in one of the game playing events. Precise information for the closest date can be found on the Brain Games Facebook page.

Snakes and ladders with my brothers when we were kids, various card games with my grandfather and aunt before going to sleep, chess with dad… that’s how my passion for games started. Then in University, besides listening to lectures, I would play countless “Zole” parties. Not forget about many evenings spend with trying to figure out the best strategies for “Settlers of Catan”. As you can see I have grounded reasons to praise this playful shop standing and waiting on the crossroad.
