Who are we?
Changeling Gaming is a collective of board game and role playing game experts who host community tabletop events, both public and private, around Toronto, and also create content for YouTube. Our mission is to help folks find the right games for their tables and to create safe, accessible, and welcoming spaces to play games and make new friends along the way.
What is the Changeling Gaming Vision/Mission?
To help people grow and expand their love of board games while creating safe and fun spaces for them to play.
What are the Changeling Gaming Values?
Engagement -> We seek to build an inclusive, open, and welcoming community of like-minded board game and role playing game enthusiasts
Education -> We seek to help people find the right games for their table and both broaden and deepen players’ knowledge of board gaming and role playing games
Entertainment -> We seek to bring joy and fun to the lives of any who seek to enjoy the content we create and the events we run.
How do we do it?

We partner with local venues and organizations to support community gatherings. Our Public Events take place at various locations around the city of Toronto & GTA.
The Changeling Gaming Patreon is where our community can find bonus game content, vote on what games we play on the channels, and support the growth of our Toronto events as Patrons and receive event passes as part of their subscriptions.
Our How-to-Play Channel contains dozens of quick and succinct videos explaining how to set up and play a variety of different games
Our Gameplay Channel contains plenty of entertaining gameplay videos with a new series of educational videos being introduced fall of 2023.
Our Review Channel has our complete reviews, including our discussions where we decide on a game’s level so folks can get a better sense of how we determine the rankings.
The Changeling Gaming Ranking System is designed to help players get a sense of how complex a game is based on the experience of the players at their table, as well as what to expect from an initial playthrough to understand the core of the gameplay.

Our Differentiators:
Our level system is based on the experience of the players at the board game table, not directly the difficulty of the game.
Our how-to-plays are succinct and straightforward; making games quick to learn.
On a personal note, we have a wonderful queer and neuro-divergent collective of game experts on our team and are keen to advocate for queer representation and safe spaces for folks to learn and play at their own pace.
We strive to make board games as financially accessible as possible. Through our events, we offer tiered pricing and community rush tickets so that even more players can join our game tables.

Keep Changing, Keep Gaming, Have Fun!
