They have a huge board game selection. They have nice displays for the games that make it easy to see them all at once. They have some interesting puzzles as well. If you are into manga, tabletop games, or gundam models they have those as well.

Went into the store and had a great experience with the staff working! Then I got home and opened up the first disc I purchased. This is what I received. Not thoroughly impressed at all but I am able to clean it with no issues. What was an issue was the second item I opened the disc wasn’t even inside of the case and now I have to drive 30 minutes back to the store just to get the disc I purchased. I will go back but next time I am checking what I buy BEFORE I leave. Thank you.

This place was amazing! They have everything! They had all the old games, they had strategy guides for things I couldnt believe HAD strategy guides! Let me tell you, the hunt for old FF guides is real! Their service were incredible! Their prices were more than fair (even if I wanted some to be cheaper, they were legit more than fair) where some of them really could have been much higher right now. And they offered really good prices on trade-ins compared to, well, every other competitor on the planet. I wish I had stopped in more often when I lived around the corner. Now Ill have to drive up from Wichita😆. And I will, too😂😂 Great place. Way better than Game Stop or Vintage games.

This is the smaller sister store to their downtown location. This place has a major focus on comics and video games, though they do have a very small selection of card game supplies. Both stores have great staff and Im happy to support this location when I can.

Awesome collection! They even buff the old games you bring in for scratches! They have the largest collection of retro games Ive seen from KC to Wichita- including the harder to find popular games, the artist additions AND the game guides!!! I LOVE this place & cannot wait to return!!

Review №13

One-stop shop for anything gaming. Aside from the same companys downtown location this is, by far, the best new/used gaming store. Great for anyone from retro gamers to new generation gamers. Video games, table games, card games, even movies.

I walked in this place was immediately fell in love. Has figures TCG retro games and current ones. Has everything a nerd needs for the most part. Wish they held TCG tournaments but in all great place will be coming back to decorate my game cave.

Great local store to find all your rare old games! Trade in for store credit is very fair. Lots of inventory other than games, Comics, Movies, Trading Cards, Action Figures, Consoles, Board Games and more! Cant recommend this store enough! 2 locations in Lawrence, knowledgeable staff and lots of great prices!

Would give 5 stars but it only had games and no assortment of nuts. QUITE misleading for a gamer and nut Connoisseur such as myself. The name of the Store clearly states that there are games AND nuts here

This store is great! There is a selection from the nes all the way to the Nintendo switch, with each console having a quantity and quality selection, and did I mention they have the consoles that the games run on in the store. The only downside is that the items are usually about 5 to 10 $ more than online but other than that this store is awsome

Went as a board game fan. Good selection but board games section very much feels like an afterthought. Very disorganized and hard to see and navigate the selections. Extremely helpful staff though. Everything you need is there, just needs a better layout to be more customer/browsing friendly.

Love this place especially the one on Iowa street. I can always count on EXCEPTIONAL customer service, they’re genuine people who are always happy to chat about our favorite things: video games & board games.The crew is knowledgeable and many of their recommendations are spot on! They’ll also call over to their Mass St. site to see what’s in inventory if we’re looking for something specific.Today I was a borderline creepy customer to learn that Max, owner of the now closed The Roaming Gnome, works here!

SO! I was experiencing a problem with the gameboy link cable I had purchased and brought it to these guys to figure it out. What I appreciated was the fact that the workers who were there all helped me. They were digging for extra gameboy to test the cables and also looking for extra cables AND even doing research to see how to work around the problem I was having! The dope thing about all of this was that these guys spent an hour helping and being invested in my problem. I always shop at gamenut, mass st. Or Iowa, both places have awesome staff that make these wacky times not so stressful. Thank you to the Iowa staff for your patience and ingenuity!

Review №43

I got bait and switched at the register. On the shelf, the price sticker on the item said $7.99, but the employee who got the item took the sticker off and put it through the system at $9.99. It wasnt until I paid my tab that I saw what they did. Id try to give benefit of the doubt, but they removed the sticker to hide what they did. As much as I love the selection, and Id like to go back, I dont trust a business that would employ a tactic like this.

Good store. Sells digital and tabletop games. Selection of tabletop games is good, but a little short on the hottest and newest titles. Could use more/better play space, but its the only game in town for now.

Gamers will love the selection of vintage consoles and games. The staff is outstanding and has a bead on every game out there. The Big Bang Crowd will be into the large selection of gear, board games, and memorabilia. Great experience. Wheelchair access is tight but manageable.

I brought some DVDs in to sell. The clerk was very nice and helped me out the most she could. I was in real need for some gas money and I think she may have bought some that she normally wouldnt have. I was very appreciative that she went out of her way.

Really great selection of games, whether youre into tabletop, board games, or video games. Plenty of stuff for old and new consoles alike, usually at a great price. Aside from games, its got plenty of accessories, from simple controllers to really niche peripherals. Im pretty sure I saw a SNES duckhunt blaster. Its my go-to entertainment store.

Review №65

Good selection. But disappointing policy. Heres the deal. Found several gamecube games Id like to buy. 7 of of the 8 games I chose had price stickers clearly on them. Great! I found good deals!However the only worker at the time said she would have to do a price check. Hmmm well thats a new concept to me as the price was already on it! They claim the prices go up and down. Well can you guess what happened to the majority of them?? Yup they went up significantly! A couple of them did go down a few dollars.The games I wanted to purchase were not popular games, but instead were ones likely to sit for a LONG time. But they will sit there for longer as I declined to purchase anything.My question is.. What other store would you shop at that this would be acceptable to you? None that I will shop at!This review would have received 1 star if it werent for the employee who was working hard during a busy day.My solution... I bought a bottle of wine elsewhere instead. Still a good day!

Review №75

The place has a calm atmosphere. It sells games for just about every console that existed. They do not offer dirt cheap garage sale prices. This is clearly a store intended for collectors (shenmue for the dreamcast costs $50). With that in mind, the prices are very reasonable. Overall its a very nice experience and the staff are polite and helpful.

Review №76

Well definitely smaller than the parent store on Massachusetts, the store itself has a lot of charm and still has quite a bit of selection for its size. If you live on this side of town I definitely recommend checking out what they have, or if you couldnt find what you needed on Massachusetts Street, they may have it here.

This game shop has everything a gamer could want from the latest and greatest all the way down to Atari and Nintendo games. My boyfriend stated this is one of the stores to remember for when he wAnts a new game fix. They also have air soft guns, comics, collectable toys and a whole lot more. The prices were about average to high average in cost.
