Excellent shop for Magic, Warhammer, D&D and board games. Large game room with plenty of tables. Very good prices on products. It is not easy to browse Magic bulk singles in store, but the clerks are able to find higher value singles in stock reasonably quickly. Good customer experience overall.

Long time eBay purchasers, first time walk in customers. We love everything about this business. The staff were wonderful. There are dogs, IN the store! Whats not to love? The selection is great and if they dont have something they will have it.

Great pricing and deals on board games, tabletop miniature and sealed TCG product. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Singles tcg orders are also available and can be purchased at an easy to use kiosk. I used to frequent this shop regularly, and am I happy to become a regular customer again. I cannot wait for the end of pandemic restrictions so I can enjoy the large space for in person gaming again.

Always good. Found some great newer books on clearance so I got what I wanted while saving some cash. helpful staff and awesome inventory. im mainly interested in D&D 5e, Pathfinder 1 & 2e, and Starfinder. Let us not forget the dice addiction. Cataclysm always has something for me.

Im a big fan of this store. They have great selection and prices, and a HUGE gaming area.I would do five stars but they wouldnt sell me an item cause I was not a member of their in store club. You have to pay to be a member of. I considered it but I dont like the idea of paying to save money on certain items and not all of the perks of membership were useful to meThey did have what I felt to be an acceptable explanation which is that the item in question is often bought up immediately when it becomes available and that was their way to ensure that it is available to more people. BUT thats only people in the club. I respect their right to make such a decision but I think excluding a customer from buying certain products for whatever reason is not acceptable. I would recommend they do what several other stores do, just limit to one per person.

Hello my fellow nerdians, d&ders, Warhammer lovers, MTG fans.....you get the point. This place is my absolute FAVORITE store ever! Everytime I walk in its like Christmas morning...I over spend each time and my wife beats me so bad my HP drops to 1 🤷‍♂️ The greatest part of this store is the employees! Yes, they have saved me so much time and money and always have the greatest recommendations! They have SO much amazing merch its easy to spend an hour looking around. Seriously you need to go here and have a look. Like right now..........while your driving and reading this.........❤

I will start this with I am not a gamer, my son wanted to go for something. The staff was not friendly or welcoming, the store is in some kind of order but I couldnt figure it out. It looks like some kids basement when he collects to much. They did have a good selection of board games and the prices for those were average. My son did find what he wanted and left happy, I however will not be going back, hes 14 and his standards are lower than mine.

Review №23

Overall a great card (and game) store. Best prices in town, generally helpful staff, decent selection. The only flaw is the feel of the gameroom. Less cozy/friendly and more like a warehouse. Otherwise no issues, a great store to shop for all your MTG needs.

Review №24

Ordered from their Ebay storefront. Service was extremely fast, product came as soon as it possibly could and was well packaged. Im able to find better discounts for some of what they carry but will be coming back here for future orders due how smooth and speedy the whole experience was.

Great selection of board games, magic, Warhammer, minis, paints, and D&D stuff. Recently started carrying die hard dice, which are great. If they dont carry something youre interested, they are amazing about ordering it super fast. The prices are always great as well. I love having such a cool shop close to home.

They deal mainly in magic cards but have a little something for everyone. From miniatures to various rpg and tabletop board games. Super helpful and friendly staff, they do not sell single cards unfortunately but the prices are great with a huge gaming area when not dealing with covid19.

This is a fantastic store for gaming supplies. They have a huge selection, and the staff is always friendly. Make sure to check their calendar for various events to play live with other local players in casual and competitive games!

I love this store! If you like playing board games, card games, or role-playing games, you need to get over to Cataclysm stat! They have a huge selection, and if you cant find what youre looking for, they will help you find it online and order it for you. They also have a yearly, customer-appreciation day where they serve lunch and offer discounts on many of the items in the store. Its something you dont want to miss. They also have gaming events for Magic the Gathering, Warhammer 40,000, and so much more.

Review №38

Great game store. They have a full selection of Games Workshop paints, both sable and nylon brushes in all sizes. They have some larger boxes of Warhammer figurines and some individual fantasy figurines. They have a huge selection of board games and RPGs. They will also match online prices for games (such as on Amazon). The staff is pretty knowledgeable and very polite. There is a whole other aspect of this store that I dont truly understand, but their original store in Roscoe was just a bunch of people sitting at computers and either buying or selling Magic the gathering and other collectible card game cards. Their new store looks almost like a shipping hub with employees boxing up and sending out what I can only assume are more collectible cards. I dont play these games, but it is obvious that this is where Cataclysm makes the bulk of their money and their storefront is basically a wonderful thank you to area gamers. The only real problem is that the store is very hard on my wallet as they have great deals on almost every product in the store. I always go to Cataclysm first for all my gaming needs.Like I said, it is a very friendly atmosphere, and the other players/staff are happy to get you involved in a game that they are playing. They are good and patient teachers for newbies. Great store.

Hands down the best games/collectibles store Ive been to. A location that takes pride in its cleanliness as well as its customer relations. If I ever want something niche or nerdy for a gift, I happily tell them to visit this store, and thats not something I can say about some other stores

Just waited for 35 minutes to sell some mtg cards, however the employee was busy playing a game to give help. I arrived and he said he Was going to finish his game then help me out, until 10 minutes later, he started another game without offering me help. After 35 minutes of waiting, I decided other local businesses would appreciate my business more. What garbage service.

Review №74

Not a bad little business. Heavy on the Warhammer stuff which is cool. Very little DnD which sucks. Little dice selection. Also no one even bothered to ask if I needed any assistance with anything. Not a bad store though. Dont bother with any other store for your Warhammer needs.
