Ordered a board game here to be shipped to the store - gave them my phone number and paid up front and was told it would be a couple of weeks to receive. Not only did I never get a call back - I had to inquire several weeks later to find out it was in stock - they had no record of me even paying for it and never saved my number apparently. It seems I could’ve easily lied and walked away with the game. The store itself is nice with a large selection of card and board games, but I fear management may be unprofessional or disorganized.
Used to be a huge fan of this store especially when it used to be the gaming goat. The customer service was great but doesn’t seem to be anymore. I used to be a reoccurring customer and would purchase a lot. I had to take a hiatus and since returning I’ve been faced with nothing but poor customer service and rude attitudes. I had questions and was talked to as if I was an annoyance. Unfortunately it seems the store mainly caters to only certain types of card games now which is sad considering it used to be the greatest shop in the area for magic the gathering. Ultimately I used to really love this shop but it seems to have taken a left turn in the recent years and I no longer feel welcome.
I’ve always wanted to go to a game shop and I never got the chance to but year later I came and got some magic booster packs as my first cards ever and I was fascinated by the environment. They are great and professional and love the environment. One thing I wished was they start having Standard Magic the Gathering tournaments because that would bring us magic players a little closer since this epidemic. It was also be great for new players like me trying to get started in standard. That’s the only thing I wished but overall this place is amazing 5/5!
Great store! All the regulars seem comfortable there, and their prices are fair. I hope they add more Dungeons and Dragons stuff, but I also understand they want to carry a diverse set of games!
The best, most welcoming shop I have EVER been to! Clean, well lit, large and varied inventory. The staff and owners are top notch, very friendly and helpful. The patrons are also fantastic and kind, warm and personable. I visited while on vacation and plan to return again when visiting the area. In fact, we visited this shop twice on the same trip! We had so much fun on the first visit we wanted to return before leaving to pick up a few other things to support the store. We chatted with one of the owners and found out they have a strong set of values which means a lot to me. They have made business decisions based on these values and it TRULY reflects in their shop. To explain a little more about my experience, as a woman I often walk into a game shop and receive one of two reactions- "OMG IT'S A GIRL must stare/I don't know what to do" or "what the heck is a girl doing in here, girls don't game". I received neither from ANYONE. Patrons outside were friendly, opened the door for us. Patrons inside were polite and conversational. Staff was so helpful and caring. If you're a gamer and have been to other stores you have experienced the 'gamer funk' at least once. You won't face that issue here. I cannot say enough about this place and strongly urge you to give them a try. This to me is the gold standard for game shops.
Took my ten year old nephew to his first pokemon tournament here. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, great play space, 8 tables filled so plenty of ppl to play against. Good times, great place to game.
Great place to try a new card or board game from thier awesome selection! From basic boss monster to star wars miniatures you are sure to walk out of there is something!
Great selection of current magic products. Staff is super friendly. Prices are pretty great here on sealed product. They also have a good selection of d and d products and board games.
First time visiting this store today and the employee Michael was phenomenal in assisting us. His friend who doesn't even work there was also helping us in selecting Pokemon cards from a nice variety that they offer. Clean, open concept store, doesn't smell bad like similar stores do lol, and overall great staff. Will definitely be back.
Staff is knowledgeable, helpful and kind. Clear separation between the play area and retail product. Plenty of options and inventory to choose from. Play area looks inviting, simple to maintain and clean and available. Only shopped here so far but I may see about booking a table to play in the future.
