Pandemonium Books & Games
About
Pandemonium Books & Games is a Central Square store for science fiction and fantasy books and tabletop games, and a Cambridge fixture for more than 30 years. Shelves cover sci-fi, fantasy, horror and graphic novels alongside board games, role-playing games, living card games and collectible card games like Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon. Its stated mission is to build a community for anyone who enriches their life through play, literature and imaginative storytelling.
Much of that community gathers in the store’s event space, which Pandemonium says is the largest of its kind in the Boston area. Weekly events cover all kinds of games, and the shop aims to be comfortable and welcoming for players of all ages and identities. Beyond selling new products, the store buys Magic and Pokemon singles and collections, as well as used fantasy, science fiction, horror and graphic novel titles.
