2 years agoLittle gem of a place. Nice selection of board games and miniatures without the "unlit basement" feel that a lot of the older game shops had. The gentleman behind the counter was friendly and helpful. I wish they hosted D&D style games (seems they're more focused on 40k and Magic) but still a nice l... Read more

1 year agoWent there to look for some Magic cards, and they had quite a big collection. Many cards I was looking for. Reasonable priced as well.

I’d suggest bringing a list of cards you need with you, because they keep their cards in alphabetical order, and you have to ask the employee to look for it. But the guy working there (Brad) was very friendly, and helped me look for certain cards. He also was very knowledgeable about the cards. Cool guy. Definitely will go back in the future. 👍 Show less

2 years agoThis is a well organized game shop. They have almost all your tabletop gaming and miniature painting needs. With everything for every level rather you're just starting out or a seasoned player/dungeon master. Prices are very fair, and the staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly.

1 year agoThey do have a nice, alphabetically organized inventory of Magic cards but won’t tell you if they have specific cards in stock over the phone, and ask you to bring in a list. I brought a list and the guy picking my cards seemed annoyed and barely said a word to me while I was there. Nice store, but ... Read more

They have magic singles and card games but multiple staff members are downright unpleasant and harm the business. The guy with glasses, long curly brown hair, and always wears a mask is the worst of the bunch on that. I've seen him be purposely rude to multiple people over the times I've been in there and have had him act the same way to myself when i asked about a magic single on display. Wouldn't want to imagine the ammount of people that have gotten turned around as customers from his behavior alone. Despite the business having good stock and a large store, it makes ya wanna go somewhere else when you see that type of thing 50% of the time you go in. They got less stock but I'd recommend the gamers guild or the shop just up north by wallmart that specializes in yugioh cards to get your mtg stuff. Both will let you order things to the store and have better staff. Either that or just order online. Show less

You might be thinking to yourself, "I know it smell crazy in there." And depending on the day and density of gamers present, you might be right. But that's part of the atmosphere that comes with the territory, and when it comes to tabletop gaming, CCGs, miniatures, and related hobbyist paraphernalia, the Game Preserve is the absolute one-stop shop. One can frequently find dudes running TTRPG campaigns or Magic: The Gathering card tournaments in the large connected game room, which is a blessing for avid gamers of all ages looking to satisfy that anytime itch whenever GenCon isn't currently happening in Indy. Go buy some games for your home there, and you'll almost certainly be able to find someone who can explain it to you in great detail. Show less

In my unscientific estimate, there's probably a zillion different ways to have fun in this store. There's just so many games! No matter what genre of tabletop gaming you're into, whether you're a casual player or dedicated gamer, Game Preserve will definitely have something for you. Beginning in the front of the store, you'll find the familiar family favorites. As you work your way in, you'll discover rows of dice, cards and what seems like every board game under the sun. If you have a favorite movie or TV show, they have games for that. Like historic or sci-fi themes? They have those games. Party games? Yep. Popular new releases? Got those. Miniature games? Yes, plus all the paints and brushes to customize your set. Staff is always super friendly and helpful when you're looking for something specific or trying to choose between their many titles. I've bought several gifts there plus several games for myself, all have been a huge hit. In the evenings, they open up their huge side room for games (I often see people playing Magic the Gathering and I know there’s open game nights too). Plus there's a rewards program for repeat customers. I'll definitely be back! Show less

While we usually don’t play games there, it’s great that they even have a dedicated game room for anyone who wants that experience. Today we stopped in to pick up Lost Ruins of Arnak, and of course they had it — along with the expansions. Knowledgeable staff, great inventory, and a true passion for board games.
