Great place for Boardgames, D&D, and MTG trading card game.

The shop is decent at best. Lighting for cards in the counter cases could be better, as well as lighting for the building. The lack of organization for Magic the gathering cards is very inherent and pushing $5 and below boxes onto people to sift through and then charging full price is ridiculous. Gratings for cards isn't really there either. Overall this shop feels like a group hangout place for the owner and his friends rather than a place of business on the front end. With the right amount of changes to organization, Lighting, sanitation overall aspects of the shop this place could be better. Try taking notes from other gameshops around the area because this place hasn't changed for 5 years.

sales representative charged me double for cards that were damaged and said i was wrong when i pointed out the price’s on TCG. representative also refused to print an itemized recipe for the cards i paid for.

I spent about a 1000$ every month at this place and brig lots of friends. today was very disappointing. I feel i should just by my cards off line and supply’s.

We were out of town and had a friend running the store as otherwise it would be closed, he didn't know how to print what you were asking and told you as much. He also didn't have the authority to change prices and told you that as well. You could have brought this up to me and I would fix it, and I feel you knew that.

That said, I'll still fix it if you'd like, I'm sure I can go back and find the purchase, and you wouldn't have needed a receipt to ask for that.

I really like this place and this is good information to know. i’ve updated the stars to five. because i know the owner would have been more knowledgeable and been more accommodating. The purchase was a while back so the point is mute now. i’ll try to see what my wife wants because she knows how people really act when they talk to me. till then maybe will stop in. Thank you for the reply.

Great space to play games. Mask is required. You can make reservations to save a table for gaming which is nice and convenient during the pandemic. Friendly staff. They have a nice selection of games and dice.

Absolutely awful. Disgusting rundown, dirty interior. No selection and overpriced. Save your time and shop online. To call this a store is insane

I’ve never in 20 years been to a gaming lounge as unbelievably barebones and lackluster as this one. Owners rude as well when I asked about buying a comic book my son was interested in. Never seen anyone so opposed to making a sale in my life. As the for the “lounge” it’s like two TVs and a couple worn out couches, which in and of itself isn’t a problem since there’s nobody in there to begin with. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else more deserving.

I absolutely love this place, great people, great staff, they have a good selection. I drive an hour and half to play in their flesh and blood events!

Seem to be very DnD and MTG geared, with a bit of Vanguard on the side. Couldn't find a single Yu-Gi-Oh card, and was lucky that Vanguard uses the same card size, or I wouldn't have been able to get protectors either.
