People generally do not like to be treated as if they are stupid for asking questions pertaining to general business practices. If you’re having a bad day don’t take it out on customers. Show less

Solid store but bad customer experience. They posted the wrong price for an event and wouldn’t honor the price they posted. Only $5 so obviously not a big deal. That said, as a first time customer it’s a real feel bad experience right off the bat. We won’t be back. This is a customer service in... Read more

That said, as a first time customer it’s a real feel bad experience right off the bat. We won’t be back. This is a customer service industry and they failed at basic customer service. There are plenty of local shops to patron that are better run in that regard. Show less

One of the best if not the best selection of games in the city! They are continually growing and will order any game you could want for you. The space is super clean and bright and has a welcoming atmosphere. The owners are amazing and super knowledgeable. Definitely stop by if you are around! They have a small library of playable games that's slowly growing as well. Edit 2025: They moved next door to a new and larger place! The place is super inclusive, constantly running events, and have free boardgame nights. Love that it's pet friendly. Staff is super nice and the place itself is always bright and clean. Show less

As a nervous person, the kindness of the staff here is a great draw.

As a local shop and a queer space, PGS feels like a home away from home and after missing one week I felt like a big part of my schedule was off. I absolutely recommend the space! Show less

I’ve only been here once so I can’t give it less stars or more stars, but my first time coming here was odd.

I’ve only been here once so I can’t give it less stars or more stars, but my first time coming here was odd. I felt bad that the person at the register seemed really stressed about organizing some sort of tournament. I bought two mtg packs then decided to get a third one last minute. I used a bit of slang in my haste, and the guy standing behind me on line who was partaking in the tournament disrespectfully mocked my language. It seems like he knew the cashier from previous times coming to the shop and he misgendered them. In instances like that, I felt like more staff should have been present to handle the tournament that was clearly stressful for the employee. As for the customer, that’s not really the shop’s fault or responsibility, but it really deterred me from going there afterwards because if this is the kind of person who is a regular, I don’t necessarily feel welcome or respected nor like they respect the employees.

Went to a pokemon league cup here. Not only was the judge just making up rulings on the fly, they weren't even giving us the proper time to play. We'd sit down and automatically have the timer going.

No set up time. Even after I top 8d the event I was not told to collect any prizing and left only now am I finding out they didn't even put me correctly into the tournament so I got no championship points as well. What a horrible experience and I'll more than likely never be back. Show less

I don’t get to Philadelphia much unless I take my kid to a doctor appointment or to go to the airport. I happen to come across this game store today and I must say it was really nice. They had quite a selection of board games and card games. I will say, if you are a miniature gamer, it probably isn’t at the store for you as I didn’t see any miniatures other than maybe a dozen dungeons and dragons minis. They have a little private game room that looks really cool and would be fun to play in. The person working in the store was very nice And even allowed me to use the restroom, even though I didn’t buy anything. If I was local to Philadelphia, they should be detected I would want to play.

I could buy theses games online but much prefer the in person shopping experience. Philly game shop has always provided me with a knowledgeable and helpful shopping experience. I was in there today buying Twilight imperium and had a couple of questions about the game, which was a bigger purchase for me, and the person at the counter Shane gave me the whole "gamer bro" you don't belong here stick. All attitude when I asked my questions. Clearly Shane felt like I was wasting their time. They answered the two questions I had with " well do you want it or not". I had more questions but felt Shane wasn't knowledgeable or kind enough to answer them. My kid asked me why was that person be a jerk when we left the store. Show less
