Just left the Crystal Lake location. Wonderful place and the owner is more than accommodating. Im definitely going back soon.

Everyone there is so friendly I went in to sell some cards and we talked for a while about them and it was really fun it felt very homey and nice in there. Also while the products are not retail price you need to understand that when they are bought a profit needs to be made especially if they are bought for higher than retail value. Yall need to realize this isnt retail its reselling. Anyways love this place and the employees yall are awesome

Came in for a special item for me and my son, was not carried. Suggested a very close other product, and was exactly what I needed.Solid guy, solid store, very happy customer.

I have been there many times and they are never open when they say they should be. Also they dont pick up the phone. I also asked him about an item and he said he would call me in a few days to let me know if he had it at his other store in dekalb. I ended up driving out there to see myself because he never called me back. I can tell he doesnt care about the people buying board games.

I havent been able to get into a game yet, Im patient

Very nice people. Lots of d&d books, dice, and minis

Absolutely best LGS in the area. The owner is the best!

Rather shady place if I’m honest. They have different hours listed on every single platform I look up. They charge scalper prices for Pokémon products (it could be for the others as well, but I was searching for Pokémon) Not only that, I bought a booster box from them a bit ago and the entire thing was resealed! Don’t go here!

The guy there was super helpful and had exactly what i was looking for. Definitely going to be making this my regular card/gaming store.

I just got off the phone with the owner and feel as if I took a masters class on pokemon cards.. what to buy, what not to buy, when to buy and how to buy. My son thinks Im the coolest mom now.

Charges scalper prices despite being a retail store, scalpers are pretty scummy but at least they have to go out of their way to acquire their inventory, imagine charging what they do for items you get delivered right to you. Disgusting people, imagine thinking these people care about their customers when their customers are better off going to ebay.

Awesome store for Magic players

Visited on my lunch break and received some great help and advice.Im not a die-hard gamer so wasnt sure what to expect when I arrived, but was immediately offered assistance and some expert advice on which games to buy for a family get together we were having.Will definitely return in the future, many thanks.

NOT MUCH TO SAY, HORRIBLE SERVICE IN PERSON AND OVER THE PHONE. SUPER SHADY AND THE IDITOS THERE DONT KNOW HOW TO TALK OR TREAT CUSTOMERS WITH RESPECT. BIG TIME SCALPERS WHO ONLY SELL TO YOUTUBERS WITH 500K FOLLOWERS FROM WHAT THE GUY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE .LOL WHAT A CLOWN. THERE ARE OTHER BETTER CARD SHOPS OUT THERE.

Awesome, really nice service, awesome deals. Worth going back and back

Best place to go in town for games and gaming. They are extremely knowledgeable about all things gaming

Always friendly and well knowledgeable staff!! Mike is one of the best LGS owners ever

Shady people here... u confirm a price with them and make a drive all the way out there to find out that all of a sudden they want to increase the price by 30% just because someone is interested... will never do business here again

I encountered an apathetic staff who basically ignored my inquiries. I immediately drove to Woodstock and spent several hundred dollars at GriffoNest games.

Super helpful i was here 2 years ago there staff was meh and not helpful at all I re-visited this place it was great the staff was awesome and very informative I drove an hour and a half for a pickup of something else with my dad and I went here cause I remembered it and the worker gave me cards and was super fun guy 10/10 would ho again do recommend

Showed up at the store today at 1, and noone was there. Left around 145pm and still not opened.

This place is literally never open during store hours. Have come by multiple times trying to buy during their listed hours and they are never there. So unprofessional.

I dont get to stop in as often since I moved out of the area. I still make the trip if I need singles or want to trade . I have yet to find a shop that compares. This place has a very welcoming atmosphere from the owners and employees down to the people who hang out there to play. Always happy to give these guys my money.

I’ve been coming here for a few years to get all my Magic and D&D goods. Great service and nice people.

Go to Griffonest Games in Woodstock, theyre so much better.

My favorite game store, its always clean, the staff are friendly, and the selection is extraordinary! Whether youre coming for draft, FM, arena, board game night, or more...they have it all!Theyve got the finest goods, the lowest prices, and Mary a fancy illustration, just the goods, fair and plain.

Amazing card shop. Everyone who works there is super knowledgeable and they definitely arent the type of people to try and pull something over on you. A lot of the time you can even get cards for below market value. Love this place 10/10!

What a great selection! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They even offer a game counseling service to help you figure out how to play games with confusing instructions. I cant wait to check out their weekly game nights every Thursday at 7.

Great place if you looking to do events for Magic the Gathering. Friday at 7pm you got standard magic tourneys, Sunday you got drafts at 1pm and 5:30pm. Also Thursdays Pauper at 7pm, something a lot of stores dont have but should. Also really good prices on single cards. Been enjoying my visit and experiance everyday especially since recently I got back into magic and needed help catching up to todays standards.

Amazing game store with amazing staff. Really friendly people and they just opened a restaurant next door with pretty good food. Great place to play Magic the Gathering

Wow where do I even begin with the epic time I had at the m19 pre release. Everything was a gaming moment and there were lots of cards, Obama would have been so proud. If youre a gamer and like gaming, especially gathering for magic, come on down and play your cards at affinity because I had a good time and it was an epic win. Incredible.

Best game store! Great selection of games and if they dont have it, they can get it.I have found their prices to be as good or better than online places and other stores. Heck, their Magic, Pokemon and other trading card packs are less than Walmart!I was new to some of the current games and had lots of questions. Justin and Mike were super helpful in informing me of the games as well as helping me learn them to see what I might be interested in playing.They know their games!The people who go there are also very friendly and helpful when it comes to learning new games.Great place to hang out and to game.If you are looking for a game store, look no further. Seriously!

Really fun place. The staff are really nice, and knowledge and they have a good selection of board games and cards. Would highly recommend!

Love going here to either buy cards or play magic at night. Players are nice fun and all round good people

Good selection, very nice and informative staff. Will be supporting my local game shop.

I’ve been here a few times over the past 4 years and it use to be a killer store! But over the past year it’s gone down hill so much. I don’t even bother calling or asking them questions anymore, it’s just a place I stay away from. It’s really depressing seeing a store I loved go so horribly wrong.

Excellent atmosphere for anyone to walk into with a massive variety of board and card games.The owners Mike and Justin are friendly as well as knowledgeable.

An absolutely amazing place for any table top game you play. I get all of d&d stuff here.

Nice store and a great layout for TCG and TTG

Great local game store. Lots of Magic, Yugioh and Pokemon card games. There were some D&D5 and other RPGs as well.Plenty of gaming space too. My kids like the fact that a 7-11 is nearby for the required snacks and soda. Just a bit more of a drive than I can do on a regular basis.

Friendly staff and atmosphere here. If they dont have it they will/can usually get it for you. Definitely worth a stop in.

Very helpful folks with excellent prices. I had to grab some board games for the evening and couldnt have been happier with my experience.

Love the owner. Great community and optiona for any type of game. Magic, DnD, and all types of board games/ tabletop games. A great visit for anyone of all ages and interests.

My son starts, its a really nice ace for gamers with a very knowledgeable staff.

Its a great place to go if you like less mainstream boardgames. Theres a mexican place and a 7/11 right next to it too. They also do rpgs their, although wednesday DnD is full. Overall a great location.

Staff and other patrons of the store were both knowledgeable and the shop owner had a great attitude when helping me out

Great place for your board and card gaming needs. Offers more than just Magic.

Great store. Lots of community and knowledgable staff

Pretty decent FLGS, enough selection for the board the game enthusiast but tends to see more MTG players.

Showed up during stores hours and no one was there. Waited for like 20 minutes still nobody. This is unprofessional.

Excellent store and excellent staff. Always adequately stocked too.

Best gaming store. No question.

Great service and a fun place to play Magic: The Gathering

Fun atmosphere, great people. Card games and it has an amazing selection of board games!!!

Got 40 dollars of pokemon EX boxes for 30 dollars, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey thats pretty gooooooooooooood

Solid store, friendly helpful staff. Magic events fire weekly with plenty of people.

I do the drafts and the people that do them are cool, the drafts are every Sunday at one oclock.

Great store for playing MTG. Great staff and costumer base.

Great singles stock, every one was nice on my 2 visits.

Great place to game, very welcoming crowd

Great selection and very helpful!

Great selection of games.

Good place to play dungeons &Dragons

Great selection of board games.

Always a great time.

Not a bad place to sling cards

I go to the Pokemon League here and Im trying to get a Pokemon VG league started here, too!

Did not have a lot going for it. They did not have any of the items I needed and it was rather small. Kind if disappointing seeing as its the only game shop in the area

Helpful staff and patrons!

Great place to game and chill

Great place to game!

Board games, card sleeves and MTG. What more could you want?

Best place to relax and hangout
