Never had a bad experience here. They have a large selection of games and hobby supplies. As a miniature painter, they have the best paint selection in the Cleveland area that Ive found. They are also the only retailer Ive found that carries Scale 75s paint range. Along with the full Citadel and Vallejo paint ranges. Overall the staff are really helpful and friendly; I always enjoy my trips here for all my mini painting needs.

Amazing owner that cares about his patrons. He genuinely gives great advice about painting and shows a lot of passion towards his business. I thoroughly enjoy this shop so much that we go nearly every other weekend! Thank you so much Eric for fostering a community of nerds that doesn’t feel toxic or excluding. Plus, there is still a mask mandate on the store to keep everyone safe! This makes me want to stay longer in this store.

Fantastic Game store! I bring all my business here if possible. Owner is very nice and keeps the friendly environment we hope to find in a game store. They also have a very great selection at great prices! And if they dont have what you are looking for, they will try to get it for you. Cannot recommend enough!

We stopped by to check the place out and were really pleased! Theres a great selection of games to look at and very fair prices. The owner, Eric, was nice and helpful; he even made the effort to remember our names! Definitely going to return for any future boardgame needs.

Hands down one of the best gaming shops for all demographics. The owner is super helpful and personable and I’ve always had great service there every time. Has been very COVID accommodating and feel safe going there to find new games while staying indoors. Most affordable prices around and the biggest variety I’ve seen — any person or family can leave with a game they’ll love. It’s my go-to shop for table top games and I’m writing this review in hopes it’ll be yours too.

Great place! Shop owner is super passionate and cares enough to require masks for the more vulnerable people of the world! I can’t imagine being selfish enough to complain about protecting people!

This store is fantastic! They are always stocked with the newest releases. The family-friendly nature of all the staff does not go unnoticed. I have asked for recommendations many times and have NEVER been disappointed. We are eagerly looking forward to resuming the in-store activities that draw our family in once things get back to normal!

Lol you will love each and every experience when you go to The Gaming Goat! A++ !!! Thank you Eric for always giving my nephew and I the best possible experience when visiting the store!

While small and somewhat cramped, Gotz a Lot of Games has a really fantastic selection and good prices, and a are running a friendly, compassionate business. Cant recommend more as a local store for interesting board games, tabletop RPGs, and wargame products.

I cannot recommend this place enough. The owner of the store, Eric, is an all around awesome guy. He is extremely helpful and prices everything fairly. I have never had a bad experience with them, and I will continue to give them my business. 10/10 check them out! This is what all LGS should strive to be.

I came to this store for the first time for a ladies only gaming night back in the time before. I was super impressed by a store even hosting such an event and was super impressed by the selection and prices once I was in the store. Then the pandemic hit and that was the end of in store events. But as the pandemic dragged on, my family visited the store periodically to keep ourselves well entertained as lock down dragged on. After just a couple visits, the store owner Eric, knew our names and greeted us warmly every time. He has gotten us special order items and always responded amazingly promptly to inquiries. If you are looking for a well run game store, the gaming goat in parma is well worth the trip.

Eric is so knowledgeable and customer friendly. My wife and I are avid gamers and you cannot find a better selection with better pricing in any brick and mortar store. Shop local! You will not regret it.

If you are into the Board Game Hobbie, YOU MUST VISIT THIS STORE. If you are thinking about getting into it, YOU MUST VISIT THIS STORE. If you have no idea what the hobbie is, YOU MUST VISIT THIS STORE. I have never been into a store with such quality and up to date merch, best prices in the field and the most amazing customer service. They have the holy trifecta and it only improves with each visit. Shout out to the best Manager/Owner in the business (Eric) for making this possible. Please back him up, I guarantee you will never regret it.

Been shopping here since early into the Covid situation. Every time Ive come in Ive been able to find something I needed, or even just new stuff to try and learn about. Whether it was paints and miniatures, cards + their accessories, or just having nice chats with the clerks and customers, Ive enjoyed my time here.

Eric (owner) has always been friendly, happy to make recommendations & to answer questions on any game in stock. This store has become a near-monthly repeat for us & we can’t be happier about it!

This is a nice clean store with a friendly staff and large selection. Id love to visit during a game night, but Im writing this during the COVID pandemic, so I cant.Nothing wowed me enough to say you should drive across the city to come to this store, but if this is your nearest game store, this should be your store.

Ive been to pretty much every game store within an hour of my place and The Gaming Goat is arguably the best location Ive discovered. Eric (the owner) is incredibly nice, very helpful, and really easy to talk to. The store has a nice collection of board games, table top games, and accessories for any of your RPG needs. The selection of miniatures for Warhammer, Marvel Crisis, and Dungeons and Dragons is spectacular. Ive noticed that most of the stores I have visited either have a good selection and high prices or a limited range of products and competitive prices. Erics personality, his stock and the prices are all fantastic and the main reasons Ill be shopping at TGG exclusively from now on!

Review №36

This place quickly replaced all of my board game buying places, both brick and mortar and online. Their selection is great. They have hard to find games, and the games are NEVER inflated or even sold at retail. I think the closest Ive paid to retail here has been 20% off, but very often games are 30% off. Eric is great about ordering things I want too. He gets it in the store really quickly. There is a great library for trying out games. There is space to play, but it doesnt strike me as the kind of store people hang out and play games at as much as a place to get information, get a good deal, get a new game, and go home to play it. The only downside is that it is hard to say no; the prices are good and the staff are great at explaining games, the pros and cons, etc.

Review №38

This place is pretty cool. I’ve now been to just about every shop that sells Warhammer in the area and this shop has the best prices. Their paints are priced 7–13% cheaper than any other store I’ve found and are usually always in stock. The Codex I was looking for was listed at 20% less than what I had paid at another store. They’re selection isn’t that big though and they close kind of early but that may just be because of Covid.

Great prices and Eric is extremely knowledgeable. Clean place, nice layout, lots of stock. The Games Workshop display is growing and growing and there’s lots of minis and paints. Wild variety of games from kid’s games to party games to simple to learn games to complicated strategy games. I spend too much money here because there’s so much I can’t resist!

Great staff and pricing! Eric, who I’ve primarily dealt with, has been super helpful and accommodating every time I’ve been in. Discovering new games and new party ideas at the same time! The selection, while overwhelming to a newbie, is vast and ever expanding with low pricing. Whether you’re beginning to explore the world of board and table top gaming or a veteran, this is the store for anyone!

The Gaming Goat is everything that a great gaming store should be. Next time you consider buying a game online think twice. You could instead be supporting a local small business and still get the products at a fair price. Also, you would never experience the magic of walking into a real gaming store.Highly recommended for families or anyone searching for the perfect game for them.They have all the top games and obscure ones.The store is neatly organized and looks sharp inside. Theres a small gaming area where people meet for tabletop and role playing games.The location is tucked back from the thoroughfare, but if you can find Starbucks its adjacent to their drive-thru exit.

I looked up mtg shops near me and this one popped up so I decided to check it out. I liked everything there the staff seemed nice. The only problem I had was I wanted the promo card for buying a booster box. The employee told me they didnt receive them yet but will get them and for me to call back later in the week. So I bought them thinking I would get one. I called two days later someone said yeah we still didnt receive them yet and to call again later this week. I called today and was told they will not receive them at all. Im not too happy about this and feel lied to.
