This is one of my favorite places! The store has so many cool things to buy... And the events they hold create a real community of enthusiasts! Great place... Great patrons... Great employees!
Fantastic place to get all your RPG, board games and more! Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful! Ive bought plenty of items from them for the last couple years and Ive never once had a bad experience or even a just ok one, every time has been great or phenomenal!
A great place for games and hobbys. Events weekly and the staff is very attentive. My only problem is the pricing on some of the products is higher than other hobby shops.
Sam is the best! Much knowledge and love for what he does. Very helpful 👍
Great selection of games, board, electronic, you name it. Im not into card games, but looked like there was more than anyone could ask for in that genre of gaming.Adults, kids, adult kids, enough to go around for any kind of person.Service seemed lacking, and/or their social skills need some polishing. Then again, I am a muscled American, and perhaps they arent typically graced with the presence of someone of my ilk, esp. in a gaming arena. I too enjoy games, lets not look to the cover and not realize we are quite similar.In any case, the place itself is abundant with what it sells, and the quality is adequate.Darius Verdict:Service: C-Games: AOverall: B
Great selection of games. Lots of space to play. Very friendly staff and attentive staff. Almost too much. Looks like they have special deals now and then. Always worth a stop.
Great hobby store. Helpful staff and owner. Hours are a little inconvenient due to Covid so plan ahead and call before heading down.
Awesome selection of media, accessories, and necessities for playing all of your favorite games.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
The guy working was very helpful and was able to find what I was looking for.
Absolute nerdvana. Huge stock of board and TTRPG games. Game space (when we get back to being allowed to do that sort of thing) and a decent stock of CCGs.I fell in love as soon as I walked into the place.
Great service, well run events, kind staff, good community.
Why does this location never open on time?
Great Staff. Gabi and Chase really went out of their way even offering to keep the store open late so we could finish a game.
Great game store with friendly and knowledgeable staff. In addition to general and family board games, there is a great selection of Warhammer and D&D miniatures. The Citadel paints are restocked often. No, you won’t get any special deals here on a regular basis, but there is a great sense of community. If you’re looking to play with someone, check out their website or Facebook page for designated Magic the Gathering/WH40k, etc. nights and tournaments.
I have played MTG at the Norton branch since it opened a few years ago. The facility is very nice, super clean, has great inventory, and is run by very knowledgeable and kind people. I am an older dude and the owner Chase helped me get into the Friday Night Magic scene and linked me up with a group of people to play commander with on Saturdays. Once lock down started we were unable to meet up and play cards regularly, and Chase helped me and my girlfriend start to get into DnD 5e. We have bought several books, maps, and minis here and are now totally hooked. They have an awesome amount of DnD resources, all at very fair prices.These small businesses give back to us so much by providing resources, info, and space that allow us the play the games we love. They have braved the storm working during these trying times, and putting themselves in possible danger so that we can still enjoy our favorite hobbies. It may be easier to order some of your gaming gear online, but local stores like Battlegrounds are the reason you got into playing games, and are probably part of the reason you still play. They need your support now more than ever, so that we will still have a place to come together and play when this is all over. If you are thinking about grabbing a booster or some minis or a new game swing by and check these guys out, I cant say enough nice things about the store and their management/employees.
Pretty fun shopping trip unfortunately they didnt have what I was looking for but thats due to an error on Bushiroad. Future advice for anyone coming in here look at their website. It has what theyre selling on it and it isnt a third-party website. Still I got card sleeves and anyone in TCG can never have enough card sleeves
Best hobby shop in Massachusetts. Clean, organized, and everything you could ever want to buy. The friendly, knowledgeable staff is welcoming, passionate about their craft, and happy to help you find what the best product for you.Tournament scene, for the card gamers, is likewise fun, friendly and welcoming.
Awesome local shop.
Left work early to go here and they were closed at 830PM on a Saturday even though the website said 10PM. Ended up buying the board games from Amazon instead.
This store is a labor of love and it clearly shows. This is how you do nerdy right. Great personnel, product and atmosphere, for all ages. Drop in and find out for yourself!
Ive only been to this location a few times as Im not local to it but every time I visit the staff is wonderful and helpful. The other customers are just as great and the selection is nearly perfect, and things they dont have they try to special order. Favorite gaming stores.
Great places for D&D, Pokémon, and all other games. Friendly staff and always willing to go the extra mile
My favorite board game store! Great selection, good prices. Staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for any board game enthusiast!
Great place to visit, so many awesome games. Tons of war hammer! The staff is always friendly and willing to talk to you for a bit.Ive never played any tournaments there but every time I walk in I see and hear people playing in the back having a blast. They typically have games or something going on every night.Definitely a place to check out!
Best board game store this side of the Mississippi
Awesome place! It nice and spacious and the place is very clean. The staff here are very friendly and approachable. Its a good place to play at tournaments and leagues regarding card games. The restroom only needs one thing, a new soap dispenser since the one that is in there is almost broken.
The staff was wonderful. They greet me with open arms. I love coming here to play modern or enter a prerelease, because the people who come to play are also very greeting.
My friendly local neighborhood gaming store. I love playing games there and buying the latest boardgames and accessories.
Great place to play games, meet new friends, and most of all, buy their awesome selection games; always support you Local Gaming Store, and this one is the best!!!
Staff was helpful when I had questions, and werent pushy when I wanted to browse. Selection is nice, merchandise is neatly organized and well displayed.
Battleground is a great resource for all your tabletop gaming needs. They have Magic the gathering, Warhammer 40k, Dungeons and dragons, etc. The prices might be a little higher than buying stuff online but, for that extra money you get very friendly and knowledge staff. Also, every Friday they host Friday night Magic which is a fun time if you play casually or competitively.
My new local gaming shop. Friendly reception every time I wander in, knowledgeable staff, good vibe, and great selection. Cant wait to attend some of their (many!) events.
Always have a great experience here! Everyone is super nice and the employees are really helpful and knowledgeable. Only downside is the occasional favoritism of regulars by judges at pre-releases, but nevertheless its a great place to play Magic, D&D, Pokemon, and more.
Called to see if they had something in stock. They didnt answer the phone the first two times I called. Third time was the charm I guess. Woman checked if they had what I was looking for. She told me they didnt have it in stock and then just hung up on me as I was asking afollowup. They didnt need my money I guess. I ordered what I needed on Amazon.
Ive been to a ton of game stores all over the country - Texas, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts to name a few. This store is incredibly well run. There were a lot of things I noticed that I dont take lightly or for granted based on my experiences across other stores. This place is incredibly clean and the staff cares. It is spacious for the events and games being played. I have nothing but positive things to say about my time spent here.
Best store around, friendly staff and an owner the cares for his patrons. He personally gets to know the people that come in and out of his stores.
This place is amazing! So many cool games to choose from.
A bright, clean, well stocked, and welcoming Game Store! Lots of in-store events and gaming happening every day. I am very happy to call BG my FLGS.
This place is like a second home to me. Cleanest game store youll ever see, with the best employees. If youre not sure what you might be interested in, Sam will help you find your new favorite game. Cant recommend this place enough.
Great staff, welcoming environment, and friendly community all help make this store a great place to enter the gaming scene!
Came in here for the first time and was super impressed. The staff knows their stuff. Great selection of games. I was especially impressed that they had so many games for kids. Teachers in the area should check this place out!
Youll find what youre interested in at this location. Theyve been around for years and know their stuff.
Always as fun time here. Great game selection and great events
Great staff. Fabulous community of other gamers. Always have what I need (usually before I realize I need it). Cant say enough good things about these folks. Only downside is that the fantastic selection of games is a hazard to my wallet. I want to buy too many things! =P
Great selection nice space and awesome staff. Highly recommend!
Great store! Well organized, nice helpful employees and lots of great events - can’t go wrong stopping in for a visit!
The best game store in the South Shore, by far. The customer service was amazing. They carry a variety of cards, like Magic, Pokémon, etc. Quite a large setup to play as well. They have snacks and other board games. I had a pleasant experience at a prerelease there and will definitely return!
Of youre into games like Dungepjs and Dragons, magic the gathering, pokemon or yugioh, or even board games then Battlegrounds in Norton is the store you want to shop at. Their staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and their prices are great.
Battlegrounds is a great store if you love board games or new games that have flown under the radar. Ive found some old games I played growing up here, an started a new hobby!
Best Gaming Stores in the New England area. Knowledgeble, Friendly staff. You need something for gaming, they have it,or can get it.
A great place for gaming materials. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. And they have plenty of space for gaming.
Tons of table space. very much a modern hobby shop it focuses on games and mtg. No modeling kits etc. However, if you are looking for gaming space competitions ant tournies. This is the place. Staff is incredibly amenable and open to using their tables for about anything as long as you understand that tournaments have dibs
Super helpful staff. Bright and clean atmosphere. Great selection of games and supplies.
One of the nicest game stores Ive been to. Staff are all great!
Wow it’s so refreshing to find a game shop that is modern, clean, bright and spacious
Great place to play, decent prices
Everything Ive said about the original store in Abington could be said about the Norton location as well. This is BGs second store and is a worthy addition to the company. The store manager is incredibly friendly and an absolute ironman workhouse as it pertains to creating and scheduling events throughout the year. The space is open, clean, and friendly. An amazing selection of all kinds of games as youd expect from Battleground.Of particular note is the stores resident RPG Expert, Sam. I dont know if theres a game on earth hes not played, or even more likely, GMed. He has a talent for GMing that is very rare I think. I put him as one of the best Ive ever seen or played with in my 36 years of RPGing. Seriously.Get yourself to Battleground. Any Battleground Games & Hobbies. You wont be disappointed. Tell them Bob sent you and youll get a special prize of, well, nothing. They wont give you a prize because I sent you. What they WILL give you is a fantastic shopping, playing, and social experience. Thats better than any free gift I can think of
Great store great management always friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wouldnt think if going anywhere else for my gaming needs.
Great store, friendly staff, just awesome store in general. Best store to hang with friends and play games.
My son and I are here every Monday. The staff is very familiar with their stock and always willing to point us to different events to take our experience to the next level. I have been to many stores in my lifetime, and this one is unparalleled in their selection and clients. We always feel welcome.
Great store, great selection of products. The staff was very helpful, and the guy behind the counter...talk about a dreamboat!
Battleground Plainville is a great gaming store with a great staff and lots of cool stuff on sale. It has a friendly group of regular players who make even the rankest amateurs (like me) feel welcome. Its all about having a good time. I started there doing Dungeons & Dragons Encounters and have since gotten involved in the X-Wing Miniatures game.
This amazing shop just relocated to Norton MA after almost 6 years in Plainville MA. The move represents a significant upgrade not only for the store but for Norton as a whole. Its a beautiful space and easily the nicest looking game store in the area.I found the staff to be incredibly pleasant and helpful, they spent several minutes with me going over games that I can enjoy with my 5 year old and 8 year old. If youre looking for a family friendly, engaging, unplugged activity for your friends or family definitely check them out. It looks like they also host quite a few gaming events each week with a different game or games being played each day. I visited this past Sunday and was happy to see so many kids and families playing the Pokemon games. A+
One of the best hobby stores south MA. Really good games selection, enough room to play and good service and prices.
This place has snacks and great staff. Magic the gathering groups, tabletops, and their supply is great on games and dice sets.
Ample parking, space, and product. Very clean as well. This store is a great environment.
An unbelievable collection of board games. Some out of print and difficult to find. We are incredibly lucky to have a location like this nearby.
One of the few comic/hobby stores I keep going to. Huge selection of board games, good amount of models/paint, plenty of dnd and a ton of tcg stock.
Best game store Ive ever gone too!
You want to play a game or buy a game this is a place for you. Also carry a wide variety of cards like Pokemon, magic, etc. Play Dungeon and Dragons it is an awesome place.
Fantastic service, great people and they always carry a good selection of tabletop and card gaming products. Highly recommended.
Great store for all your gaming needs. Friendly helpful staff. Cannot do better anywhere else!
Super friendly staff, very big, clean area in the back thats always got a number of friendly patrons playing games. Their games are priced such that theyre generally within a few bucks of what youll find online, so theres no reason not to feel good about supporting local small business! They have regular events, both organized and loose, all week long.They have a selection of snacks and drinks for sale, that are equally well priced, plus theres a dunks, a McDonalds, a big y, and a Mexican restaurant all in the plaza, so wether you end up staying for 6 hours or 20 minutes, youll have plenty of options available to you.Just watch out for traffic from the Xfinity center nearby. You will be infinitely better off taking exit 10 from 495 to get here on nights when theres a concert. But thats a minor inconvenience only because taking exit 11 drops you almost into their parking lot 😄
One of my favorite game stores. Huge selection of board games, RPGs, minis and CCGs. Smart and engaging staff that are helpful but not pushy.
Great space and awesome selection of games -something for all ages! Organized events and hands on experienced staff make it a fun place to spend time!
Freindliest staff & great selection
