I will say as an avid board gamer the selection here is better than any I’ve seen. The whole shop feels like all killer no filler games. The owner happened to be there and was incredibly knowledgeable about past and current board games. 10/10 will return when I’m in the area

Wandered into the gaming goat and I’m so glad I did! Gerardo was very helpful and suggested a good entry level game to try out. Played it with a group of friends and it was a great hit (Bang the dice game)! Will be recommending and visiting this place again!!

I told Steven that my husband and I had previously played Magic: The Gathering, D&D, Zelda, and we love the Star Wars & Lord of the Rings worlds. He recommended several awesome games and I left with two. He was so kind, shared local events that might interest us, and spent way more time with me than he needed to given how busy his store was. Thanks for doing that, Steven, if you read this! Made my day. ❤️ Show less

great selection of games in a cute area! definitely wish i wasn’t just passing through so we could do some of their game nights as well (for magic at least). dude who was manning the store was super cool and much appreciated, lots of great recommendations. i loved that they had options for all skill levels and interests, as well as newer games and local options as well. ended up finding a great pre-con for magic that actually makes me really excited to play, and a book for a ttrpg that my family is actually interested in playing with me. great stuff!! if you’re at all into board games, card games, d&d or ttrpgs, magic the gathering, or are just looking for a cute place to check out, head to house rules!

There is something there for everyone. Walked to see the new place and walked out with a lot of games. Fair warning board games are addicting and House rule games is the rubberband man.

I am so glad a board game store like this exists in Dallas! House Rules has a great selection of games for all types of board gamers: newbies, euro fans, RPGs, traditional board games and everything in between. It's amazing that the store has such good prices too--most of their games are cheaper than buying from Amazon. The owner, Stephen, is also incredibly friendly and well-versed. If you're unsure what board game you want, you can tell him what you like/dislike about board games (themes, number of players, complexity, mechanics, etc.) and he will recommend a few options to you. Try going on a day that he's in-store. I have spent so much money supporting this small business, and I plan to spend so much more. Show less
