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.


May is
Female Gamer Appreciation Month

May is the 7th annual Female Gamer Appreciation Month. This is a great tradition which started at Phoenix Games and that we have been privileged to continue at Worlds Apart Games. Women are an important, if sometimes unappreciated, part of the gaming community, and we at Worlds Apart want to give something back.

To show out appreciation to female gamers we have a great series of events throughout the month. We will also being extending a few special privileges to the fairer members of the gaming community.

  • All women get a 10% discount all month
  • Women get their choice of seat and color/team in any game played in the store.
  • Women are not expected to clean up any games that they play in May.

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.
