Lovely staff who helped us pick out some new games to play. Great selection of TTRPG books, including indie and uncommon titles.

Able to find an excellent chess game for grandson's upcoming birthday 🎂. The help was the kind I like, " ...if you need help I am available...". Liked it so much I went back to get my own personal book on chess. I have to stay up to speed for an up and coming chess champion ( whenever he challenges me). Wonderful helpful, friendly, polite staff. The handout is helpful also. Show less

If you like board games and hate shopping on Amazon...then these mf'ers got you covered! The employees are huge dorks (I mean that as a compliment) so they have great knowledge on what games would suit you best. Nice layout too....makes good sense.

This place is awesome!! Any board game you can imagine, they have. I honestly didn't know about this plane until I went to the mall. I'm so glad I did!! They've even got games out for children to entertain the kids! Staff was friendly. Great concept and amazing store!!

The staff is quite helpful and knowledgable, able to recommend any number of games depending on what you're looking for, from personal experience with them. There is no doubt that you will find something to enjoy. Additionally they host Magic tournaments, and offer space for gaming for only a small fee. I happily spend too much money here. Not to say that the prices are too high, but the selection always piques my interest. Show less

Interesting but ultimately smaller selection. Good place to look around, but you'll likely find the same things for less online. They appear to hold Magic the Gathering events here.

Went into the store yesterday to see if they hand any Pokemon cards. While I was there I over heard the workers chatting about how they locked one of the front doors and how that should stop them. “Them” were a group of three middle age women, of different ethnicities and two under the age 10 black girls. They racially profiled two baby girls for holding a doll in their hands as their mom was shopping with friends. It’s so nasty to hear this and watch them do this. Yes the two dudes working were YT. If you are a POC or care at all. I strongly recommend not shopping here Show less

Pokémon. Solo games. Games I've never heard of. Games I could never imagine existed! Get the point....they have everything! Prices are a consistent $10 higher than Amazon. I was price-matching as I shopped. However, I paid the extra cost happily for a few reasons. 1. The unheard-of selection blew me away! 2. The customer service was incredible. One gentleman walked with me through the entire process helping me find the perfect gifts and games! He knew every game and was quick and proficient to answer every question. 3. I NEVER want to see this store fail. I will happily pay a little more for the staff's knowledge and the on-hand selection. 4. My Amazon Games would not have gotten to me by Christmas. 5. I was too impatient to wait for an Amazon delivery because I was so jacked to play the games that very night! Go today.....seriously go. You won't regret it! We spent so many hours together as a family playing these games! Thank you! They also have a great reward program that I will be using frequently! I believe the gentleman that assisted me was named Phill and Wendal. Thanks to you both! Show less
