Customer service was excellent. They took time to hunt down cards I was looking for. The store is well laid out, with a lot of space dedicated to organized play. Seem to have a good player base and are hosting tournaments in a variety of games. Will definitely be back.

Any shop can sell cards and tabletop stuff but this place brings the customer service to another level. They are the friendliest people and treat everyone that steps through the door like friends and family. It doesnt have the vibe of just a hangout place for the regulars but moreso a haven for veterans and those new to the hobby alike.

Clean toilets, well lit, friendly staff, ample play space for all types of gaming, and a good amount of product. Tons of Warhammer 40k in stock, Star wars Legion, Magic the Gathering cards, full racks of army painter paints and full racks of games workshop paints as well. Super nice game store.

Good selection, reasonable prices, and a friendly staff. Lots of playing space with a couple of private rooms (you have to rent those, but the price is quite reasonable). Clean, open space.

Quite possibly the best retail experience Ive ever had. They have great stock of paints and supplies and are always willing to order whatever you ask. I had never been inside a game store of this type before this year and upon my first visit, I immediately felt welcomed and have learned a crazy amount from the staff there. All of the staff are willing to talk to you about most anything and give you tips on painting and game rules/tactics. Its my happy place!

Great place, run by people who know what they are doing. Tables and rooms for all manner of games. Good selection of games and supplies. Modest section of snacks. One star off for having no room for books.Very convenient location on Highway 31, but beware of rush hour traffic.

Extremely friendly staff who are more than willing to be helpful and take a moment to chat with you about the various games and hobbies. They have several tables for gaming and is quite spacious while also having a very nice selection of merchandise for hobbies such as D&D, Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar, and a great selection of board games, including some hard to find options. Definitely a fantastic gaming and hobby store, worth a look at if you are in the area or looking for a place to hobby at.

They have a good stock of minis and paints, willing to order any game for you (as long as they are able) and as long as its in stock can most likely have it in a week or less(of course nothing is promised and shouldnt be). Nice staff very helpful when we had questions about things and when we asked about gameing made sure we knew where to go to help us find a gameing group and we can resurve tables and if we had more questions to feel free to contact them. All in all i expected this store to be like all the rest but, it really had a comfortable feel and for every introvert out there thats a nerd i would recommend it. (Yes masks are required at the time of the review)

Amazing supply of paints and gaming accessories. Their prices are great and they sell models at MSRP where as other places would gouge the prices on certain hard to get models (beholder model in particular).
