Loved the huge selection of games, figures and figure painting supplies at the overland location! Only problem I had was the employee working today. Not a single greeting or even asking if we need help or questions. My husband several times said aloud " what's this?", but we never felt comfortable enough to go over and ask him because he had his air pods in starring at his phone practically the whole time.

Good selection of games other than digimon cards that we came in for. However Customer service was terrible. We came in said hello and the guy at the front counter completely ignored us multiple times, was not very friendly. The people in the back didn't ask if we needed help.

I had a very pleasant experience with the mall location, but the main store was pretty terrible… the employee at the mall advised me there main location buys and sells single MTG cards, along with set/draft box’s for a great price! So I traveled on over to the main location, When I arrived at the main location in boise, the employee was uninterested in assisting me, I had some higher value cards I wanted to put towards sealed product or possibly sale or even trade in towards singles, the employee told me they were not buying or selling singles because of current market prices, and uninterested in seeing my trades.. when I asked how much a booster box was compared to buying their packs, the employee told me their was no difference in price, so I could purchase a pack at 15.90$ or 24 packs in a box at 15.90 which defeats the point of buying a box and saving….. #wont be back Show less

Came here for a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, got some nice stuff for a lot cheaper than I expected! I didn't see any price tags but I might have just been blind- that's the only complaint I have, really. The staff was nice and so were the customers! Planning on coming again with the boyfriend to get him some more stuff for tabletop campaigns. Store is small, but feels welcoming. Everything is in an easy to find spot and the store was very clean. Lots of options whether you play card games, tabletop, or just like collecting figurines. Very nice and quiet environment, almost as good as a book store in that aspect. :0 Show less

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the space is always clean. Whether you are looking to get into a game (Board, collectible card, miniatures, role playing, or anything else) these guys can help you.
