Great local place to go to when looking to either play or buy board games. You can go upstairs and pick from a very large selection board games to play for just 5 dollars.

Just edited my review, it gets a star off only because something causes the employee on the phone to be really difficult to understand when calling, if this is fixed it would be greatly appreciated.

So happy to have a game shop in Redlands!
Bought some dice and a RPG adventure for Overlight. (A RPG that I have heard great things about.)
They are very knowledgeable about board games.
If they don't have something they can probably order it for you.

Board game night is Monday and Tuesdays, come over and play.

Excellent game store!

This store sets itself apart in 2 main categories:
1. Ambience of play space.
2. Board/card game recommendations.

They have many distinctly themed rooms, most with beautifully crafted tables, and all with plenty of space for gaming. Truly the best in the area on this front.

They also have incredibly knowledgeable staff. I have gone in for recommendations for so many different games: engaging games for with my toddler, collectible games for with my preteen, cooperative games for with my wife, and complex games for my brother. Previously I’d buy games mainly on Amazon, and it was 50:50 whether I’d like them or they’d get played once and then collect dust, but shopping here is different. I’ve loved every game they recommended, and when I explained my interest they even convinced me not to buy multiple games I thought I wanted to buy, but would not have actually enjoyed. Their prices are reasonable - a bit more than Amazon, but not dramatically more, and because I’ve been enjoying every game I buy instead of just some I’m ultimately saving money by only purchasing games I’m going to love. If you like games at all, go and chat with their staff - they’ll help steer you toward a game you’ll love, and if you want a fun place to learn the game and play it they have that too.

I also started playing more collectible games (Lorcana, magic) and they have reasonable support for them. They don’t sell many singles, but they have a reasonable selection of fairly priced sealed product and they run solid events. I actually prefer the slightly smaller size and the friendly community it engenders over playing at a larger store. I’m too busy to come every week to events, but whenever I can I come play here and I’m never disappointed by the welcoming group of players who provide a healthy balance of fun and competitive play.

You really can’t do better than this for a game store.

THIS is your LGS (or should be)! The shop is super welcoming, well laid out, and the staff are great. I've gotten so many good pick ups and recommendations here - with plenty more on the never ending wish list. Board games, RP systems, TCG/CCG; the selection is fantastic, the events never disappoint, the staff know WHAT'S UP, and the owner is really nice. Seriously, just go. There's zero intimidation factor in this shop. It's a safe place to be a newbie or to nerd out with fellow hobbyists. Just, uh, don't be surprised when you're addicted to just *being there* or when Cards Against Humanity is no longer enough for you (though, they have that too!).

The most variety of products and friendly service.

This game store has the most variety and options that I've seen in the entire USA. For a small space, there is any game and piece I can think of with
customer service that is friendly and very knowledgeable of the table top gaming world. Was happy to check it out and be a part of this store's community.

Super friendly location. Very welcoming and beginner friendly. The guys here were so helpful explaining the rules to different games and offering recommendations based on games you already like.

I appreciate the response to my review, and the fact that you were willing to work with me to right what ultimately was not your mistake. The individuals I have spoken with that work here have all been kind, and I hope your shop does well going forward.
