text: Le Valet dCoeur has been a trusted friend of mine for a while now always offering a great alternative to my secretlybeloved trash realitytv eveningsnIt is basically a huge game store and then some Do not expect to find videogames here everything is fairly handson They have an adequate selection of jigsaw puzzles but it is not updated very often and I can only do so much waterandmountain scenery They really do have it all boardgames knickknacks slinkies diabolos russian dolls They even used to have these acrylic balls for contact juggling nn Do not forget the classics chess poker backgammon and their howto manuals etc I am 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 Ecofriendly to standard casino cards you can choose from glowinthedark decks to Playboy themed decks not forgetting my favourites James Bond playing cardsn nThe cashier is a bit brisk or is it just that I am awed at her accent the space cramped but the service is available and cordial If you are a gamer of any sort come back frequently they organize game nights held at the back of the store
