Awesome place to buy/sell MTG and Pokemon. Also, a decent, mid-sized board game collection and a small amount of wargaming materials and D&D. Will order products for you and have them delivered to the store if you have something specific you are looking for. Very friendly staff, decent sized playerbase for MTG/Pokemon, can get a bit crowded at events. They do not buy/sell Yugioh. Show less

1 year agoMy go-to card store for almost the past 2 years. Constantly buying fairly-priced cards almost on a weekly basis. Jake and Dave are fantastic managers. Can't forget Sham and Leon as well! Definitely recommend this store to anyone local for either product, singles, or just to come play with others!

1 year agoThis is by far the best place in the area to buy, sell, trade, and play Magic: the gathering and most other CCGs in a 40 mile radius.

This is by far the best place in the area to buy, sell, trade, and play Magic: the gathering and most other CCGs in a 40 mile radius. The staff is beyond friendly and awesome and knew my name after going just a few times to play Magic. I was looking for a game store that actually has a Standard night because most of the stores around don't even support the format and was able to find a decent group of people to play with on Friday nights here. Highly recommend stopping in whenever you have the chance! Show less

7 months agoThe best in the business for customer service and selection. If you're looking to sell cards, there might be better options, but they really do have a good stock of cards to trade or buy into. Lots of play space and great selection of board games and supplies.

2 years agoFirst time in a game shop and it was cool. The place was packed with people playting table top games (mostly Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, I believe). The customer service was 10/10. My only disappointment is that there wasn't a very large community for Digimon TCG players there

7 months agoCompared to other gaming stores, I enjoy GameHaven. Their staff is interactive and d knowledgeable about what they sell. And there's a good atmosphere overall. The other patrons are chill too which is a big plus.

3 years agoThe Game Haven is a large, welcoming space for all gamers! Specializing in Magic the Gathering, they also run D&D sessions for beginners, and tabletop wargames.

I've come in and bought singles and random stuff for my kids, but recently I hung out for MTG Commander league night. Turnout was great and kudos to the staff for running it well. There were a lot of skilled players and the atmosphere was incredibly positive. The site is a comfortable place to hang out; with a couple super clean bathrooms, WIFI for guests, and an engaged staff who understand what we're actually interested in. Thanks for hosting such a great community! Show less

I happen to be in the area and wanted to stop in and see how this place was. Not only was I greeted kindness, I was treated like a local and a regular from minute one by not only the staff but also the people playing as well. One staff member whose name escapes me at the time of writing spent several minutes not only helping me build a deck but also giving me some other suggestions to run with and I thank them very much for that. After that I took time to looked through the rest of the store and went towards the gaming area. It about 5 seconds when I was asked to join a pod of Commander players. To which I'm eternally grateful for those who asked me to join. I had an amazing time and I wish I lived closer so I can play there more regularly. And I wish I'd wrote in this sooner so I can remember the names of those that played and of the staff member. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely be making a stop in. Show less

6 months agoI've now bought singles in shop and through Game Haven's online TCG shop and I couldn't be more impressed. Top notch shipping and all cards arrived perfectly packaged. I will absolutely be buying more in the future and can't wait to see what they get in next!

At a time a few years ago when my kid’s school wasn’t feeling like an easy place to make friends and a few other social interactions with parents and kids had been less friendly than I’d expected, we stopped in at Game Haven for Junior Pokemon Club. My kid had some beginner Pokemon questions and immediately several people, staff and customer alike, were eager to help. A Pokemon Professor taught how to play and another parent gave my kid several cute tins. Kids were eager to play together and there were snacks and giveaways. After a string of bummer social experiences, it was so nice for my family to be in a space that was overtly friendly!!! We don’t live nearby but continue to visit occasionally for cards and events, and are always so grateful for the sense of community. Game Haven is great! Show less
