The Grasshopper

The Grasshopper

A game store with a worldview.
A third place for Utopians before their time.
Games. Comics. A life well played.

“The Grasshopper has long stood as a cautionary tale—a creature who played when he should have toiled. But… what if he was right? What if play—not productivity—is the true measure of a life well-lived?”

Inspired by philosopher Bernard Suits’ vision of Utopia—and the spirit of the improvident Grasshopper—we’ve built this space to celebrate the art of unnecessary obstacles.

Games, comics, collectables: nothing here is essential. And that’s exactly why it matters.”
