Authority Games is where my family and I shop for our gaming hobbies. I personally love their mini figure collection and they have a lot of variety. I am always coming away with more minitures than I could ever paint (They also have painted miniatures but I like to be able to customize mine). Authority has all the paints and brushes you could ever need along with helpful staff who are always willing to answer any questions. The owner and the staff are obviously very knowledgeable and you can sense they take great pride in their store. 10 out of 10, would highly recommend Authority Games for all your gaming needs.

its a good place to play card game, buy, and sell card. but there are times that players get upset at someone for very small thing. like how the game State is, how player play there cards, or how player wasn't fast thinking to Finish the game. as a Example i was playing a three player card game in a casual event. a player that was at my table was getting mad Because of my poor threat assessment of cards on the board. after the match he was lightly cursing at me over a game. i did talk to the Stores employees and they did talk to the player who did that to me. I really appreciate that kind of response from the store they not only help me out with this player, they Dealt with in a responsible way, and Kind attitude also some card shop have one or more players that get mad over a game. so pls don't judge them from this post and head over there to see what they have in store.

My faith in humanity is restored a bit more after my visit today. I came in with a young adult who has autism and has been treated poorly at other card shops because of not knowing every small rule of games. We visited today and he started talking to one of the employees, who engaged in friendly conversation with him. The young man I was with told him about his experience and that he is autistic, and the man working apologized that that happened to him and asked if he's ever played Digimon. Then he grabbed a teaching mat and sat down to teach my guy how to play. He was very patient but wasn't talking down to him. I went to speak to another employee about how amazing this was and they said the store requires employees to be inclusive and to create an inclusive environment. Many folks with disabilities like these games, and it's amazing that this store is inclusive. This won't be the last praise you'll be hearing from me ;) Show less

🌞 Clean, Well-Stocked LGS Worth the Stop This shop popped up on Google Maps, so we decided to check it out. My husband’s current obsession is painting miniatures/Warhammer 40K, and we were greeted with a well-curated selection right off the bat—about half the shelves were dedicated to it. The rest of the store had a solid variety of board games, TCGs, and even a few clearance bins to dig through. Prices were mostly MSRP, but fair. The two employees were friendly, helpful, and happy to chat. Plenty of seating, and the calendar was packed with events—seemed like a fun, family-friendly community space. It’s a bit out of the way for us, but we’ll definitely be back for the good vibes and solid selection. Show less

I feel completely ripped off by this shop. I came in to trade and agreed on a deal for two cards — Harpie’s Pet Dragon and Master Dragon Knight. That part was fine.

I feel completely ripped off by this shop. I came in to trade and agreed on a deal for two cards — Harpie’s Pet Dragon and Master Dragon Knight. That part was fine. But when I got home and went through my collection to re-organize today I realized some of my Yu-Gi-Oh! cards were missing. The biggest hit was Valkyrion the Magna Warrior, worth about $140 — a card that was never part of the trade. Losing a card of that value, especially when it wasn’t supposed to be sold, feels like being taken advantage of. I trusted this shop and left expecting a fair deal, but instead I walked away missing cards I never agreed to trade. I won’t ever be back, and I’d warn anyone else to watch your collection carefully if you decide to deal with them. Show less

Just OK. Their singles selection is very small but includes magic and Pokémon. They also have weekly play every Wednesdays at six with usually 5 to 10 people.

Which is pretty much the only two good things about this store. The main guy that’s there most of the time (tall, heavy set guy) can be pretty condescending and rude. They only give 60% for trade-in which, Mr. Heavyset tried to defend as high. I can think of three stores right now that give at least 75%. Just ok. Won’t be back. Show less

Please, if you are an honest person, do not take your Pokémon to sell to this place. The two people that work in between the hours of three and when they close a man and a woman, they will lie to you and say they don’t buy Japanese Pokémon cards and then you’ll see that Pokémon cards out of your binder that you have asked them to look through to buy they’re missing then you call them back to say they’re missing. The manager says it’s a he said she said thing he said your card must be lost but the other lady when I called back I asked her first before anything if they sold Japanese Pokémon cards and she said no we don’t buy them. So me and My Wife noticed that all of the Japanese Pokémon cards from our binder were still left except the most expensive one Glaceon Was missing so we called back and wondered why if they didn’t buy Japanese Pokémon cards why they were missing one she said because it was a more expensive card. The guy hung up on me. His name is Dave manager very rude. Said no you must be lying. You must be a misunderstood. I’m a very honest person. All I wanted them to say was yeah we bought your card instead now it’s we didn’t buy your card it must be lost. They have cameras. They should look at their footage and see how trustworthy their employees are because now they have somebody who’s very upset and no way to prove it. Show less

I recently visited Authority Games in Mesa and it instantly felt like a paradise for tabletop gamers. The store is stocked with a wide variety of board games, card games, and hobby supplies, everything from the latest releases to hard-to-find gems. The staff were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, helping me find exactly the game I was looking for and giving some great recommendations based on my past favorites. The space is well-organized and welcoming, with event tables that give it a community vibe rather than just a retail store. If you’re looking for a go-to game shop in the East Valley where you can browse, buy, and play, Authority Games is a standout. Show less
