CARROLL GARDENS – THE BROOKLYN STRATEGIST, a local favorite board game store, is set to decamp this month from its Court Street home of 15 years for a new location on Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights following a steep rent hike, reports the New York Business Journal. 

Owner Jon Freeman said prices at the current Carroll Gardens storefront, 331–333 Court St., would have risen from around $90 to around $120 per square foot. At its new home, 143 Pierrepont St., in the base of the One Pierrepont Plaza office building, the store will pay $63 per square foot.

Freeman said the new location will feature expanded gaming space and private rooms, and is located closer to bus and subway lines.
