This is a FANTASTIC place to spend to your time and money! I found out about this store in September 2017 and I've been spending money here ever since. I have been introduced to so many wonderful new games and interesting people because of the store. Brett, the owner, is very kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about geek culture. Dungeons & Dragons, Games of Thrones LCG, Legend of the Five Rings LCG, and Arkham Horror LCG. I play these now because of this store. You can buy and play those games plus Magic and many more! Brett carries snacks and drinks and there's a clean restroom. My name is Summer and I'm a believer. Show less

5 years agoGreat local game shop!! Lots of variety, and very welcoming service for new and experienced gamers alike. They recently ordered something for me, and I greatly appreciated their communication with me throughout the process. Will definitely be back.

3 years agoGot some elite trainer boxes from here. Sadly, most of the packs felt like they were tampered with. My son seemed to be struggling with opening some of the packs.

Got some elite trainer boxes from here. Sadly, most of the packs felt like they were tampered with. My son seemed to be struggling with opening some of the packs. I grabbed a pack and tried to open one myself and I had a bad feeling as the packs did not open as they normally should. The seems felt stuck together. On the last booster pack I grabbed my phone to record how my son was struggling to open the packs. At least I could try and capture the disappointment. I also went through remains of the packs afterwards to recorded how difficult some of them were to pull apart and added that to the video. I posted the video to a few popular TCG forums to get opinion from other collectors on the matter and was told by everyone that it appeared that the packs were resealed, undeniably. ( it's on youtube v=E8tszFS-G6g ) Always a controversial topic. I'm always hesitant to make these kinds of accusations. Paid $90 each for these boxes, which you can normally find for $50 and often less. Expecting them not to be tampered with. I returned to the store. I presented some of my evidence which I thought was quite compelling. The owner brushed it off and said that it looked normal. He assured me that there was no way that tampered boxes could come from his source. Which he assured me was one of the largest distributors in the country. I tend to agree with that. Seems impossible to believe that tampered boxes would come directly from a major source. They would never take such a risk? I asked for a refund and the owner denied saying that the boxes are useless to him as they had been opened. I can understand that - if items were not tampered with. I've never returned opened packs before. The owner offered to replace one of the elite trainer boxes which was nice. He grabbed a shipped package direct from the supplier and opened it. All the elite trainer boxes were in absolute pristine condition. I had realized at that moment that the box I had received was in less than pristine condition. When purchasing I distinctly remember inspecting the plastic but somehow missed the fact that the box had frayed corners and sides under the plastic wrapping. With the plastic wrapping perfectly intact. How could it be that the box was frayed under the plastic wrapping that was shipped directly from the distributor? The owner blamed that on bad shipping. If a store receives damaged goods from a supplier he just accepts it? In any case. I cannot out of good conscience support a store where I feel like items were tampered with. I'm sure others have had a good experience here. I like to support local shops. I have been here multiple times to look around and buy singles with my son in his quest to build his ultimate deck. But I cannot return. Show less

3 years agoI love supporting local small businesses. There is a great variety of games here at very reasonable prices. Also, I would give this place 6 stars if I could because I don't play Yugioh.

8 years agoAwesome owner. I came here twice and one time I showed up as soon as the gates opened. The owner laid out all the Pokémon cards he could round up and patiently sat as I rummaged through them. Decent prices and a cool store in general. I'll visit again the next time I'm in town for sure.

11 months agoThey sell re-sealed ETBs and not only that, the prices are above market price. Hidden Fates ETB was $300 and not only were the packs resealed, the promo card inside was German.

5 years agoLove this place! Fantastic board game selection. After my other game store closed, this became my go to place when looking for a new board game. They have everything from simple party games to complex strategy games. Love the area. The owner is very helpful as well.

A friend and I went because they had DnD items. It's a pretty nice shop. When we went, on a saturday afternoon, it seemed like they were playing Magic: the gathering. There were about 8-10 tables and it was pretty busy. Perhaps a little cramped with the tables but we were able to maneuver around just fine. They had a lot of different card and board games. I can't say too much about the other stuff, but they did have a shelf of dungeons and dragons items. They had all the books for 5e as well as figures that you can paint and some that are from different companies. They had a lot of dice, dungeon master screens and spell cards. The service was fine. The man running the shop at the time seemed friendly and approachable. We heard him calling out some time or setting up some MTG thing before he rang us up. From what I could gather on just going there once, he seemed to know his stuff. Really have no major complaints. Seems like a cool little spot. Show less

4 years agoOne of my favorite LGS. Bret is a cool dude that's played MTG since it's early days and he has lots of stories about the game and is passionate about it. He carries some older sealed product which is nice to see. I definitely recommend this place.

They don’t have “everything” but I was still able to walk out with three games for a reasonable price, and I can see myself heading here before buying online again. Strictly from a board game players POV, I highly recommend checking this place out.

Can’t wait to go back and buy more expensive cardboard! Show less
