Welcome to Worlds Apart Games, America's first all-volunteer, collectively owned game store.

On the surface, Worlds Apart is just like any other game store. We've got a full selection of gaming books, board games, card games, and dice. We run numerous events including Magic tournaments, board game nights, and RPGs, most of which are free to attend.

What makes Worlds Apart unique is that it is run by the Pioneer Valley Gamer Collective, a non-profit organization whose mission is to use games to make the world a better place. First, they have built Worlds Apart as a space for the use of the gaming community to gather, game, and hang out. Additionally, they will work to do outreach with other organizations to use games to help with everything from non-profit fundraising to education to community development.

Interested in becoming involved? Just drop by the store and ask for Michael or Kiernan.

Image Goes Here(1) Magic Booster Draft
7:00 PM to 11:00 PM
Worlds Apart is proud to host one of the longest running Magic Booster Drafts in the area. It started at Kiri's house, moved to Phoenix Games, and now it is here. Our draft is only $10 for three packs. Generally we use the current set, but sometimes we do something a little wacky. After the tournament, rares are redrafted.


What RPG is Right For You?
Looking for a new role playing game, but not quite sure what you want? Try our new RPGenome system. Just tell it what elements you want in a game, and see what it suggests.

We'll Teach You to Play That Game!

Not sure about the rules for that spiffy new game you just bought? Don't just leave it sitting around. Come by the store and one of our game experts will help you to learn to play it.

Want to try out new games? We have an open board game day, every Sunday from 5 to 10 PM.


Frequent Gamer Rewards Program
While Worlds Apart is built around the idea of building community, we need to customers to provide the resources that keep the doors open and the lights on. To show our appreciation to our customers, we are offering the Frequent Gamer Rewards Program. The program is simple. The more you buy one month, the bigger your discount the next month.
