Eudemonia is a retail store dedicated to the games we love. We sell CCG's, board games, miniatures, and much along those lines. We have a large play space that gets packed on tournament days with 50+ people, and 40 PC's running network games, some with our own servers. Located in downtown Berkeley, we are a block from the UC campus and two from BART. Best of all, we stays open till 2am on Fridays.

We have all kinds of trading card games, quality board games, role playing games and books, collectible miniatures, and other gaming accessories.

Eudemonia means happiness. We borrowed the term from Sid Meier's masterful strategy game, Alpha Centauri, where the tech tree contained Eudaimonia. But some of you may insist that Aristotle spoke of Eudemonia first.
