This place is amazing. The service provided is second to none. Staff is knowledgeable about many genres of games, and are excellent in recommending a new game to all levels of gamers. When I was newer at board gaming, they recommended entry level games and as I progressed over the years, the games recommended became more complex. Walking into the store the first time can be a daunting task with games EVERYWHERE. This store makes navigating them easy.

Walked in and they demanded we wear a mask even though there is no mandate at this time. Went to Dragons Lair instead. Love this store, but just done with the mask thing.

Excellent game store. My wife is a novice board gamer and more interested in co-op games. We were helped by a very knowledgeable staff member who helped us discover several games and reasonable prices that we have enjoyed for months of COVID. I look forward to trying out MTG at this store!

Game Shoppe is by far the best board game shop in Omaha. Every staff member Ive talked to has been knowledgeable and friendly. They have a broad and detailed selection, with new additions coming in constantly. I cant recommend this store enough, dont buy your Games from anywhere else!!!

Visiting from another state and stopped in on a whim as my wife and I are gamers. They have an absolutely insane amount of tabletop games of all varieties!! The shop attendant was very helpful in locating some titles for us and mentioned what games they had for demo purposes. They had a fairly good sized play area in the back of the shop for either gaming or minis painting. Would highly recommend this shop for locals, visitors and new gamers!

One of the best selections you will ever see. Dont see something you want? Theyll figure out how to get it for you. Great customer service. The store is very clean and they are making sure to follow procedures for covid-19. Worth checking out.

Excellent selection of Board Games. Has some neat stuff for doing a D&D layout. Employees are friendly and they are good about masks. Kinda tucked away but is a really good find. Normally has good deals, and has a membership to get discounts.

I died and went to mini heaven.I spent half an hour in that store and barely saw all that was in this mini painting nirvana. All the paints you could ever need, minis from every company, super clean and organized, extremely helpful staff...can I give this place six stars Google?

Really wonderful game store! I love that they have a large selection of games! Even some that are quite niche. I don’t like always having to order games online, because my husband and I like to go out on date days and find one to play that evening.Their customer service is wonderful, everyone is just so friendly here!

Staff is always friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. New to board games? No problem. They are always able to suggest a good game for any situation based on your interests. No matter who you are, there is something at this store for you.

They have a huge selection of new games for sale in addition to a nice clearance section. If you are looking for gaming activities this is the place to go. Shelves of open games can be played most anytime. This is great to try out a game before buying or to just play a game with friends you don’t own already. Couples painting is offered and many more activities. If you’re a gamer than I recommend checking them out.

Enjoy visiting to pick up my monthly magazine. The staff have known me for quite some time, and have see me develop as a person. They have always been supportive, friendly and engaging when I visit the shop. I have not been able to do any game events with them, however they continue to help me with my hobbies and encourage me to come back, visit and take the time to engage with the other players.Overall, great location with great people. Quite a few different selections for miniature board games, plus they have the Warhammer line of products. Interested in Magic The Gathering, then they can help you there. How about Dungeons and Dragons, they are more than happy to assist and give you paint tips if you are struggling. Great store and wish I could spend more time visiting with the staff and the player base.

I cannot recommend The Game Shoppe enough. Both stores are clean and inviting. The staff is amazing no matter who is behind the counter. The shelves are stocked with everything a nerdy gamer heart could ever want, and if they accidentally dont have it, they will get it for you. 10 stars, because 5 is not enough, but all Google will allow me to display.

The Game Shoppe has a wide selection of table top and board games. Their games cover a variety of ages, interests, and complexity levels. In addition, they have a large area set up to play the games in the store. Plus, you dont have to buy or bring your own games, their wall of demo games includes a nice selection of classic and new games to pull off and play.

Great place to find new and interesting games. Not only do they have an amazingly huge selection, but its all organized very well by genre to find similar games to what you like. The staff is also super helpful and knowledgeable about their games. They were great to talk to and recommending games that my friends and I would enjoy based on our previous favorites, or just finding fun games in our favorite genres. Definitely worth a walk through.

Cool atmosphere and huge selection of board games! The staff are friendly and engaging, and I enjoyed a long engaging conversation about all things board games. They seem to have some less common titles here, and they have an awesome huge loan library so you can try games before you buy. There is a regular schedule of events and plenty of tables for playing in the store.

Great place for all your board game, rpg, and accessorie needs. Bought some great dice among their great, ever growing collection. Also they have friendly staff and they are always there to help. If you want to try out some games as well, they have a great selection of games you can play there or test drive per say before you buy the game or if you just want to play, you can. Great place, will use it for any of my game board needs

Out of state visitors, looking to check out the areas gaming scene. What a great store! Huge storefront, large selection, nice gaming area. I didnt understand the shelving of games, felt like it was hard to find specific games on my own, but the staff was helpful. Prices are standard, but selection was extraordinary. Great place!

Visited here yesterday with my family looking for good family and other group games. I asked one of the ladies for help finding games for my friend group back home, and she helped me look at a few games catered to the skill and interest level of my friends back home. The games she showed me were perfect for my casual player group and I had a tough time licking from the several great options.My family ended up playing Pitchstorm last night after I bought it, and there were hours of boisterous, raucous laughter thanks to ther good people who work here!

I wish I remembered her name, but the lady who helped me was very friendly (welcomed us as soon as we walked in the door) and was very knowledgeable. I came in originally looking for another came which unfortunately they did not have. She informed me that game can only be purchased online because they dont distribute. I asked her if she knew of any games similar and right away she was guiding me around the store showing me games and explaining them in detail. She ended up showing me a game that sounded even more fun than the game I was looking for and promptly made the purchase. These guys rock and their selection of games is huge. Definitely check them out next time youre looking for a game.

The wife and I found this place after we were looking for a game and couldnt find it elsewhere. I am so very glad we found this place. They have such a huge selection of board games from party to strategy to RPG. If you have heard of it, they probably have it and at reasonable prices even compared to amazon. The staff was nice, welcoming, and very helpful! I am sure we will be coming back often
