I’ve been coming here for years. The people running this place are amazing and helpful. Everyone they employ always seem to be knowledgeable and very nice. The owner (I think it’s the owner) is a very cool guy who’s very reasonable with pricing and trade-ins. Plus who doesn’t love a dungeon vibe playing games about fantasy. 🤙🏼👌🏼

Fantastic shop. Has a database of cards that you can search to buy singles. Looks like a great place to get some games, will have to go back and hang out.

Saturday afternoon (May 1st) I drove all the way down and called in to place my order. The guy said “if you already placed an order I’ll bring it up to you, but I’m not taking anymore orders.” Even though I’m waiting outside, money in hand, you won’t take my order? I said. “Just come back on Monday”Nope. No thanks. I’ll go to Heroes Ink. I used to have a 5 star review of this place. It’s the only negative review I’ve ever given. I’ll change it back if things get better down the road when I try them again, but right now the employees really don’t want you to shop here.

Our go-to local store for new Magic releases.

They offer a 10% off membership! Would much rather support local than buy online. Plus they have space to play. Support local or gems like this will disappear. May be nice to save $6 online but without a place to go play, its kind of irrelevant.

This place is great for all of your needs. I get all of my miniatures for d&d here, most of my paint/craft supplies, and books. They also have a great selection of board games that I plan to tap into as this pandemic seems to linger on.

Legions is a great store for non-video games. Decent selection of book, board, and card games, and a huge variety of mini games are on offer. If you want space to play they have it in abundance, especially nice for tabletop wargaming.

Review №17

Legions is a pretty cool place that has a wide array of board/card game offerings. My husband and I were out looking for something specific (Dominion expansions) and they luckily had almost all of them in stock. I think this is a unique gem for gamers as they have many titles that most people would have to locate and buy off the internet. I docked one star mostly due to the store layout (there is a large ramp which is the walkway down to the store, which I found odd but I can see it being great for those that need assistance getting to the location). I also docked a star as I felt during our visit there wasnt anyone super knowledgeable there that was also willing to help. Overall Ill definitely return because there are other games they carry that Im definitely interested in.

Fantastic hidden gem of a place. A wonderful selection of all types of tabletop gaming, near infinite space to play, and even snacks for your long term gaming sessions. Coming here always makes me happy.

Review №19

I like it here. Its well lighted and they have a wide selection of board games. They have tables set up for playing table top games or role playing and plenty of seating. And while I didnt spend a lot of time looking at this section of the store, it looked like they had a lot of beautiful dioramas that could be used or maybe purchased. The only reason Im not giving a 5 star rating is because the bathroom was kind of gross and it was really cold inside the store.

Ive been here many times. I usually can find what Im looking for. The staff, for the most part, is friendly and helpful. Nice place!

Review №21

Best tabletop gaming store in Western Pennsylvania... Maybe even the country. Seriously anything you could ever want for tabletop gaming, this place has it! Excellent staff and management! Plenty of great tables to play on. Seriously if you are into table top gaming or the hobby and you havent been here yet, put this on your to do list!

Review №22

Legions is one of those rare hobby stores, tucked out of the way and utterly unassuming. Its kinda like a secret club, since you really have to have someone take you there for the full experience. Its a hobbyists Mecca, and anyone who enjoys miniatures, card games, or board games should take a trip there at least once.

Review №23

I have gone here twice for Magic the Gathering events, they were the two most poorly managed Magic events I have been to. They also charge an extra $5 for a magic prerelease than anywhere else in the area, not only do they give more time for deck construction and rounds than the correct amount of time, it goes way over each round, and not necessarily because players are being slow, but because there is little to no communication about the time in the round endingAll of the players were perfectly nice, and the employees were nice as well, but I have no intention of ever going back to play in an event.If you are just going to purchase something, it seems like they have a great selection of miniatures, however I would completely steer clear of this shop for a magic event.

Review №24

Very solid store. Nice selection of miniatures game and a higher-than-average selection of hobby board game. Helpful staff and huge paint and supply section.Big store with lots of WH (and other) terrain tables for battles. Never played thetr myself, but assume they would be cool with it.

Review №25

I absolutely love this place. I spent many summer nights here while I was in high school, and spending time here again after college brings back all those good memories. The selection of both Collectible Card Games, and Table Top Games is wide, and there is always ample space for everyone to enjoy themselves. The staff is friendly, and almost every transaction is ended with a genuine Have Fun.The Tabletops are free to use, and there isnt ever really any obligation or pressure to purchase anything while youre here (Support the store and buy a drink. Goes a long way). Ive not been able to make it on a Friday night in a long time, but those are the busiest days.There is a collection of bits next to the register that are normally just complete sets of a model or squad that are discounted. There are magic cards just about everywhere, with binders and glass cases displaying them.Their Legions cards offer a discount on purchases, as well as a points system that adds up faster than youd think.The only reason I am hesitant to give this place 5 stars, is because something needs to be done about the bathrooms. Its unfortunate that they are in such a state of disrepair, and I think would drive a few people away, but theyve not been updated once in quite a few years, and I feel uncomfortable with the state of them (Im pretty sure theres no lock on the stall in the mens room).

If you play board games, war games, D&D, or other tabletop role playing games, do yourself a favor and stop into this interesting shop. Not the easiest place to get into due to the steep ramp, but worth the effort.

Review №27

Its a good place to play games, with loads of room, but it lacks air conditioning. The group I gamed with yesterday, we played a mega game of Team Yankee, brought their own fans, which made a big difference. Most of the games played there involve miniatures, but there is a large group that plays Magic the Gathering, too.

Review №28

I came here from a young age, to my current age of 19. Its amazing what this place has done for me, with the staff courteous and intelligent. They have large amounts of space downstairs for everything from gaming tables to painting areas, and their product lines are HUGE. Theyre so diverse. Their staff even will let you use their units in some cases, as long as you dont break them. Theyre all gamers at heart and I seriously hope I can go back more in the coming years.

Once you get past the small entrance and find the way down to the store, this place is awesome. Great pricing with tons of product support. Great staff with a large amount of gaming space. They also have a customer appreciation card for the more you buy, you get perks for future purchases.

They were listed as a dungeons and dragons merchant but only had 1 related item. Lots of comics and the guy working seemed knowledgeable.

Review №33

Great space with a huge selection of games and supplies to create miniature game pieces. They seem very organized with their game tournament schedules and their staff is very friendly. The only bummer is that they do not have any classic car model kits, rc cars, or slot cars. The addition of those items would make the store a bit more well rounded and provide a local place to shop for such things that doesnt really exist much in Pittsburgh. There are plenty of tables to play and create at. Overall, great store.

Spent 48/52 Friday evenings out of a year here, absolutely did not regret it. 10/10 store for table top gaming. Spectacular atmosphere, good staff, great crowd shows up there as well. Huge number of tables and variety of terrain to use for them. I would highly recommend anyone interested in table top gaming to stop in on a Friday evening.

I have been to a few Hobby stores and this is by far the best. They have more product a on the shelves and more table space than all the other hobby stores Ive ever been to combined. The staff is very nice and there are always some people there to squeeze in a game. I was spoiled for years going here and didnt know until I moved away.

Wonderful store with great selection of almost everything, specifically Magic cards and dice. The large amount of tables for play make it even better, Ive run an entire D&D campaign just by meeting here. The store has a lot of character and Im happy its my local gaming store.

If you like Warhammer, this is your new home. Smattering of other table top systems, and a few books, but this is all about 40K. Clean space, no lingering Geek Funk, but we werent there during an event.

Review №56

Dont let the strange entrance deter you. Once you get down into the basement there is one of the best selections of miniatures, board games and magic cards in Pittsburgh. The store has a major War Hammer focus, but stocks a good assortment of other miniatures games.There is a ton of gaming space and to my knowledge they dont require you to join a club to use it. They do have a free discount card that gets you 10% back on new items and some points back once you reach a certain threshold.Staff is helpful, if you ask. Dont expect them to approach you. But also dont worry about getting a sales pitch or talked or talked into joining the miniatures hobby like other stores in the area.

Just had a terrible interaction with the staff. I walked in and asked if they has a 40k rule book. The clerk said no, walked away and started organizing some magic cards. I wont be going back if thats the kind of help I get with trying to get into a new hobby.

Best store in Pittsburgh by far for minis and magic. Staff know the product. Little light on board games is the only draw back. Ample Parking, and easy to get there

Review №66

Nice selection of games, although their main focus is warhammer and other tabletop wargames. Great selection for that. The building itself is loud as far as acoustics go. Lots of concrete and metal means that sounds from one end carry across the whole place. Fun if youre playing a loud free-for-all melee, but can be frustrating if youre just trying to to talk.

Review №70

This place has an ENORMOUS selection of tabletop games and supplies., and there seems to be a very active player base for quite a number of games. Ive stopped in to play a few different systems, and Ive always been treated well by both the employees and the patrons. The space is VERY large for a game store - with plenty of room for tournaments and pre-release events. They have a decent sized collection of board games for sale, and (of course) a good selection of tabletop RPG and MtG related stuff. The staff has been receptive to my stupid email and phone questions, and appear to be cognizant of creating an inclusive and welcoming environment

Stopped in today. My first time in. Staff were all very helpful and keen to let me know about everything they offered and that their gaming areas were free to use as long as you dont damage anything. Spacious layout, reasonable prices, quality gaming surfaces for everything you can think of. The only drawback I could see was the stuffy air from being downstairs. Didnt help it was 90 degrees out though. If youre looking for a shop to cater to your Warmachine, 40K, FlamesofWar, Magic, D&D needs, please give them a chance and stop by!! The only reason I could think of for bad reviews is those individuals didnt actually ASK for any help or werent willing to listen.

Excellent store! I am a huge fan of Warhammer Fantasy Battle 8th Edition, and this store has multiple tables that have the perfect scenery for such a game.

By far the best hobby/game store in the Pittsburgh area.

Review №95

I have been playing D&D there for nearly a year now and a customer for longer and it has always been a pleasant experience. The store is downstairs and is wheelchair-accessible. In the back is ample space for tabletop gaming - there must be a dozen battlefield tables just in the main store section, not to mention all the tables in the back. While I admit there are probably better prices online for a lot of the things they sell, one of the players in our campaign got his three core rulebooks there for about $75 total - not bad at all. The staff have always been courteous, personable, helpful, and knowledgeable about their products. They sell bottled drinks and are very lenient about bringing in food if youre there to game. I wish they had more D&D stuff but their Warhammer inventory is very impressive, and they also carry Pathfinder, LotR, and historical war minis, landscape pieces, and a bigger selection of model paint than Ive seen anywhere else in the area. And from my experience, the bathrooms are just fine - nothing special but regularly cleaned, faint scent of soap nat :)
