On the Saturday before its final closing on February 1, Endgame customers picked through the rule books and what little else was left on sale at the 17-year-old tabletop game store on Washington Street.

No matter that all of the games had been sold—long-time customers dropped by throughout the day to show support and reminisce about the many years they had played games and found friends at the two-level store.

“It was a great place,” said 57-year-old David Greenwood, who discovered Endgame when he was going through a divorce. He said he’s long appreciated the store’s age mix, which he described as “anyone who was from 16 or even a father with his kids, up to guys who were in their seventies. And it didn’t matter.”
