Huge place...huge inventory of games and TTRPG materials. Super-nice people who know their stuff. They responded quickly to an email request and set aside exactly what I was looking for.

Incredibly awesome place! Their selection is fantastic, the people that run the place are all very nice, and it feels like a very welcoming environment for all people. It's everything you want in a local game store and more.

Unfortunately many years ago (under old ownership) a judge at the time made up a story and the old owner told me i could not shop there without hearing my side of the story.
Now i am able to order online and they honor my purchases and allow me to pick them up but make it very uncomfortable to be in the store any longer then the few minutes it takes to pick up the items.
With the amount of acceptance they have for people you would think that the manager of the store would not hold a grudge for something that didn't involve him or the store at all this many years later.
Giving a 2 star because the selection is good, but behind the scenes they are not as nice as they portray themselves to be.

Per phone conversation 9/9/2024 - Owner was willing to compromise his ideology if I was willing to delete my review.

This store is awesome. Huge selection and the staff is always in a great mood when I’ve stopped in. Everyone I’ve seen on staff has been incredibly helpful and informative for a newer D&D player as well as helping my 6 year old explore new games she would like. Worth the trip out of town for the atmosphere and huge selection of products.

Man, these guys are fantastic. Literally the most welcoming gaming store I’ve been in with smiling faces wall to wall. Prices on paint/basing mats were perfect too. I’ll be a regular. 😊

Edit: just wanted to add, I bring my two-year-old son here all the time, and sometimes he has ants in his pants and so we have to go and do some dance moves down an aisle. And what’s really really nice is not once has anyone given me a cross eye or said a rude thing. In fact, they often give him the bag of paints to hold on our way out which MAKES his day, which makes my day. And he cackles all the way to the car.I just want to thank you guys so much for always keeping it a special experience for my growing family.

I really like this place. Every time I go here I impressed with a plethora of board games they have for sale. They have tables to play games here with friends. I have hung out here to celebrate my birthday with friends. I will note that items here are expensive. Board games are generally expensive these days. They have a good selection of D&D stuff but I was hoping for more. Lastly, the staff here is always friendly and informative.
