Hey! I’m a fan of your store and enjoy your selection. Today I walked in for a gift and was met with rather passive customer service. It was off putting and very uncalled for. I politely greeted a worker when wishing to check out and they ignored me while giving me my purchase and receipt slightly aggressively. Now I don’t think I’m entitled to excellent customer service but it felt personal. Just was left with some perplexity about the experience cus I didn’t know where it was coming from. Thx, just wanted to share. Show less

Michael was very helpful. Have a buddy who wanted to purchase his first deck and Michael was super helpful with the process and recommended a very good deck for him. Definitely stop by if you’re looking for some cool magic the gathering decks!

Nicholas (I’m assuming he is the owner or a manager) emailed me back and forth over about a week to help find a suitable replacement for the dice set I’d ordered and was just very kind and upfront about the mishap. I haven’t received my order just yet but I’ve been very impressed by the quality of customer support. Fantastic Games is definitely a great business to support; and I will definitely be buying from them again in the future. Show less

Fantastic Games has the best selection of board games in the downtown area by a landslide, and they are my local shop for buying Pokemon cards. Their loyalty program is great and I always enjoy getting rewards as frequently as I do. Shop local!

Great selection and fun ambiance for a game store. Just a retail space and no areas to setup a game. The staff were helpful. I was excited to see a good ratio of classics with some new games available as well. Prices were comparable to any big box store or online retailer.

Misheard the name. Thought it was "Fantastic Gays." It was not. :( Regardless, I am now having a wonderful time hiding in the game boxes.

Came in to return a clearly counterfeit copy of a game! The shrink was barely hanging onto the box (it couldn't even close properly), the dice were the wrong set, the meeple and boards were of extremely poor quality. The box and rulebook also had obvious printing errors that don't match the actual game. Staff did not believe that the copy was a fake, had to speak to an owner over the phone and even they didn't believe me. No attempt was made to verify the copy was illegitimate, and they almost denied me a refund on the basis that "it was opened." Absolutely unbelievable. Boise has many great alternative game store options to check out! Show less

A wonderful place for older stock MTG and all the dice you could dream of. Additionally, so many games, toys, puzzles, and plushes. I’m also impressed with all the dnd expansions they stock!

Extremely rude. I understand having a closing tike but to interrupt us mid conversation just to say "we're closed bye" is not the way to do things. Happened around 6:50pm 11/11/25
