I'll bet you didn't know this, but I go bonkers for jigsaw puzzles. I probably own about a hundred, and almost all of them are from Valet D'Coeur, which is an enormous game store.
When the standard offerings at The Bay or Toys R Us become child's play (ie less than 1000 pieces), Valet D'Coeur is the place to go. They stock tons of difficult and high piece count puzzles that will make you crazy and take over all flat surfaced areas of your apartment for weeks on end. Whenever I go back to Montreal, I pay a visit and pick up something new.
In addition to puzzles they also carry beautiful renditions of classic games like chess, poker, Go, Scrabble (replacement tiles too) and other gambling accessories. My friend Marika was at one time really into yoyoing and found many of her favourites here.
They also sell a dizzying array of gaming figurines and other trinkets with names that terrify me. I have no idea what a "Code of the Orzhov Theme Deck" or "Betrayers of Kamigawa Booster" are, but they sell both. So if you're into that (pretend this word is italicized), just know that they stock it.
I've never tried the online store, but it's there and shipping across Canada is only $5! -

Le Valet d'Coeur has been a trusted friend of mine for a while now, always offering a great alternative to my (secretly-beloved) trash reality-tv evenings.
It is basically a huge game store and then some. Don't expect to find videogames here, everything is fairly hands-on. They have an adequate selection of jigsaw puzzles but it's not updated very often, and I can only do so much water-and-mountain scenery. They really do have it all: board-games, knick-knacks, slinkies, diabolos, russian dolls. They even used to have these acrylic balls for contact juggling.
Don't forget the classics: chess, poker, backgammon and their how-to manuals etc.. I'm pretty sure that besides the Chinese garden at the Jardin Botanique, they are the only place where you can find a Mahjong game! Funnily enough, the selection of New age stuff is pretty neat: Tarot cards, runes and whatnot. Speaking of cards, I go bonkers for their playing cards selection! From Eco-friendly to standard casino cards, you can choose from glow-in-the-dark decks to Playboy themed decks, not forgetting my favourites: James Bond playing cards!
The cashier is a bit brisk (or is it just that I'm awed at her accent?), the space cramped but the service is available and cordial! If you're a gamer of any sort, come back frequently, they organize game nights held at the back of the store!Listed in: rue St-Denis
