Scholar’s Books and Games

So Scholars is under new ownership, luckily the new owner is great! This is my weekly spot for Legacy on Wednesday nights and it still feels like home. Great community, friends and players every week! We will always miss Dave, and of course this place will always have those memories but making new ones will be just as entertaining and easy as before. Come play!

Nicest people you will ever meet, and a huge selection of games, books, cards and everything your roleplaying heart desires.

I love this store! Every time there’s a game night at Bridgewater or whenever I need some new cards for my deck, this is totally the place to go. It’s so well stocked, the owner is friendly and welcoming, and I love all that they carry. It’s nice to still see some D&D merchandise, because I cannot find it anywhere else and I’m so paranoid about ordering online after I’ve had items show up damaged or not show up at all.
The fact that the owner is so welcoming towards girls is extremely calming for me. I’ve been to stores that made me feel very uncomfortable for being a girl and shopping there. This place doesn’t do that and I’m so grateful. Thank you for being awesome.

Part College Book store, part game store, All Nerd (A good thing imho). Note: I am rating the place only on its gaming (as I dont use the book store part).
If you love gaming, then this place is for you. The RPG selection covers anything in print (and lots of items that are out of print, some over a decade).

I love this place — you can browse it for board games the way you browse a comfortable old bookstore for unexpected surprises. The discount on games is excellent, and they do keep a pretty good stock on hand. Definitely my favorite game store in the area.

Scholars is the best shop of its type to go to in its area. There are a couple other shops like it (each about 30 minutes away by car) that are good, but they’re not as amazing as Scholars. Scholars sells things at such low prices that I have no idea how they stay open. And you can haggle. I think Lindsay H. is a bit confused, but I could be wrong… the club from BSC/​BSU the ARPC hosts games on campus usually in the RCC all the time and once a month, in 1 Park Ave (the room in the RCC). The ARPC supports Scholars, but they’re not the same. Scholars has the absolute best prices for anything they have. If they don’t have it and you show interest, they’ll usually get it, too. They host a variety of games in the store and have just about any game you could want as well as dice, books, geeky stuffed animals, etc. The books section is growing (he’ll buy yours) and has many different kinds of books (textbooks, reading for pleasure, gaming books).

What a great store. Dave allowed me to have a book signing event at his store and my «Total Patriots» book was a big hit. I graduated from Bridgewater-​Raynham in 1976 and we received a lot of publicity for this event. Dave has a huge selections of games in his store as well.

Scholar’s Books and Games is a small shop in the middle of Bridgewater’s town center, a block from the town hall. For Bridgewater State students, it is a place to acquire books for cheaper than the college’s bookstore. For gamers, it is a place to get whatever you’re looking for. If he doesn’t have it in stock, the owner will help you find it if it’s still sold. It carries a large stock of Warhammer figurines and other similar systems and stocks a lot of old Magic: The Gathering and other CCG products, but I go there primarily for the board games and RPG products. What makes going there a draw? Everything is at least 20% off retail. He generally discounts a bit more for pre-​orders of some products. Also, it’s just a good place to browse for older products that you may not see at other stores. He’s helped me in the past to get everything from 5 mm dice to hard-​to-​find board games. Service is very personalized and I haven’t been disappointed with any purchases there over the years. He helps with good recommendations on what he knows. In addition, there is a large hall, a former church for gaming that is a block from the store that he operates with the church that owns it that’s free to use on weekdays, and weekends, there is a nominal fee, but arrangements can be made for larger events.

My boyfriend is a big fan of nerdy games such as Warhammer. Scholars’ is the place to go to buy new game items if you’re in the area. They also sell used textbooks but the amount of them is limited. They even host game events in one of the campus rooms at Bridgewater. If you’re a nerdy type of person, you’d probably really enjoy this place. They also sell Lord of The Rings table gaming supplies.
