About Cloak & Gamer

Welcome to Cloak & Gamer—your trusted online board-game shop based in the Midwest and proudly run by gamers for gamers. We’re Matt, Rog, and ’Chelle, and we built Cloak & Gamer with one simple mission: to make finding great tabletop games fast, friendly, and affordable for every kind of player.

We started this store because we saw how hard it could be to discover the right game, get fair pricing, and receive fast, reliable shipping without dealing with big-box delays or confusing marketplaces. Cloak & Gamer is our answer—a small, passionate team delivering the kind of store we always wished existed.
