The store is located below ground level. The shopkeep said they have elevator access inside the main building, but the main building locks its doors so this makes going to this store overly difficult for those with physical disabilities. The store also has objects and parcels everywhere making navigating rather difficult once within. While the store has some division of products theyre not truly organized and the majority dont have clearly marked prices.My biggest concern is how indistinguishable the employee is from clients. Several players were battling their miniature armies and the employee was working on a laptop. Honestly, the only reason I was aware he worked there is him approaching us to talk. A lesser concern for me is the lax use of masks by employees and clients. I prefer to assume vaccinations were prevalent, but I didnt feel particularly comfortable in the presence of anyone given the stress of continuing COVID diagnoses.I havent decided yet if I will return. The difficulty for me gaining access, the clutter, and the lack of clear pricing seriously puts me off. Im giving the store the benefit of the doubt for now. 19.10.2021
Alpha Omega Hobby in Quincy, MA- south of Boston- is one of the finest game/ hobby stores I have encountered. My husband, Chris, and I have visited game/hobby shops in Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and found Alpha Omega has one of the greatest selections of board games, models, paints and accessories for all your board game needs. Jason, the store manager, was very helpful, honest and thorough in assisting me with games that we might be interested in. A wonderfully spacious place, the shop itself is a museum and game room with multiple tables to play the games you bring or to try out the many sample games available. Go visit, if you get the chance. Really amazing place.
Very fun shop! A nice range of games and related things available to purchase. I go for FNM/related events and there is always a sizeable crowd, and the staff is more than willing to sit down a play a game.
I was thoroughly impressed by their customer service. An error had occurred with an order I placed online. The owner called me personally when I had a question about it. When he discovered that the book I had wanted had been misplaced and he no longer had a copy, he went out of his way to secure a copy to send to me. I have shopped at many stores over my life, and I have never been more impressed with that level of customer service. The owner was genuinely concerned with my satisfaction, and through him I was finally able to get my hands on a book that was unavailable literally everywhere else I looked. Truly, if you are looking for a hobby shop, this is the place to go or order from!!!!
Absolutely great place to walk into with someone new to tabletop games. Not only do they carry great tools for GMs but are willing to order anything else you may like. The staff was so friendly and welcoming to first time visitors. My friend that was with me had so many questions about dice, systems, and games in general and they were amazing at answering. Walked in to pick up a battle mat I had ordered online and walked out with some gorgeous dice (that had little turtles inside) and knowing that I would be back.
Alpha Omega is the perfect gaming store. The staff is friendly, the store is clean, well-stocked, and well-organized, and the community is a lot of fun.
Awesome store. Lots of good displays and the staff is always very entertaining and willing to answer questions and make suggestions with gaming and painting
Wonderful, friendly atmosphere, weve been to several FNMs and people were welcoming despite our inexperience.
An extremely welcoming place, for the beginning gamer or the veteran.Super professional and easy-going staff and patrons, a very diverse crowd and always someone there to help learn how to play or paint.A great selection of games of all types, and awesome wargaming tables and scenery for all your needs.Staff is super supportive for game organizers and events, and is very experienced and connected in the gaming industry.
Awesome store, and the staff there are very friendly and happy to answer any questions you have!
Excellent tabletop game store.Has a looking for group board, wide selection, & numerous play tables
Great staff, laid back and friendly but very knowledgeable. Great products and available tables for all manner of games (card, war, board, roleplaying). Fantasy, historical, and scifi terrain for tabletops. Sell all the games you want, and the ones you dont know you want yet, and other collectibles as well.Also a really good art community for people interested in miniature painting and collecting, with an awesome product lineup they can help you get the most out of.
I went in for the first time on Saturday; the store itself was so well organized I instantly felt comfortable walking around browsing, and the staff were super knowledgeable and helpful, giving recommendations on different games to help my friends and I narrow down our purchase choices. Any future game/dice/expansion pack purchases will DEFINITELY be made through Alpha Omega Hobby– thanks you guys for such an awesome experience!PS. Their game recommendations ROCKED, my friend and I were up all weekend playing our new board games!
Really nice staff. And full of happy gamers!
Great selection of board games and othe card games. Great atmosphere.
This place is beautiful. The decor sets the perfect for playing RPGs with friends. There is a section for my favorite RPG D&D. They also have Warhammer, Digimon, Magic. Alpha Omega Hobby has areas set throughout to enable groups of people to get together and play RPGs.
Great selection, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a welcoming atmosphere! Definitely worth a visit if youre into board/table top games, etc. Very reasonable prices as well!
Super cool place! Massive selections of board games, ttrpgs, and card games, as well as accessories like dice, notebooks, card sleeves, miniatures, ect. Pretty much everything youd ever need. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, they always check if you need help looking but never in an annoying please buy something kind of way.They have like, a dozen or more tables set up for playing said games; even if you have no friends yourself, chances are good you can find people to play with! Its also a great spot to just hang out at, they sell some basic snacks like candy and drinks, its a good time.
I came in looking to get more acquainted with more elaborate board games. I felt no pressure to get any game and the team really spent their time making sure I made the right decision. I had a really really positive experience here for someone just starting out.
Fantastic service and an excellent online shopping experience.
Came here for Yu-Gi-Oh cards but they had a very small collection (2 sets). I was very impressed with their magic and table top collection! Very clean and very friendly
I absolutely love the store and the community everyone is wonderful great vibes huge selection can go to a better hobby shop
Great place- friendly store gaming community and knowledgeable staff.
Clean, well kept store with super friendly helpful staff. No gatekeeping whatsoever, just people helping people play more games!
Excellent space and staff, great stock of old and new games. closeness to the T and friendly staff make it a winner no matter where you come from i Boston. play space is clean and airy with lots of tables and chairs, so theres always room to play any game! a winner in all levels, will definitely recommend and be back.
I have been coming here sincequarentine started and there is always great service. Normally I went there for D&D supplies but I recently got into MTG and I can here to get some card protectors and while I was checking out the cashier asked what color I liked in MTG and I said white so he pulled out a white starter deck and gave it to me free of charge. Really great service and friendly atmosphere. Very knowledgable and great prices. Would highly recommend!
Jake is a cool guy and probably the only owner that has any sense of decorum, I spent over 1500$ here on a few sets and they wouldn’t even let me crack my packs in store. I also came in last month and had a discount coupon that I wasn’t allowed to use on cards in store inside of their display case, was blatantly told, “ yea sorry you can’t use credit on them”. Yet I was about to use my credit on a collectors pack and that was fine ? I understand businesses struggle, but the other 2 owners of this shop just make it unwelcoming, and they don’t update their page for what they actually have in inventory.
Great service, large space, friendly staff, large game selection
Ordered some mini packs online that took a bit to arrive from the manufacturer. Staff sent out emails to keep customers informed and the items shipped as soon as they arrived. Sadly, the Post Office dropped the ball and sat on the package for an extra week. A message to Ben was answered promptly and he assured me that I’d be taken care of no matter what. A complaint to the USPS magically dislodged my package from their distribution center where it had been hiding and it was delivered the next day. Excellent customer service and excellent communication from Alpha Omega!
Have up to date gaming merch and ready to play war game area.
Very clean and organized with super friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely be returning for all my gaming needs.
Great selection of games with a friendly staff full of helpful advice.
Nothing but great experiences every time I walk in. Very knowledgeable and quick to help. If I need something they dont have they will try and order it.
Awesome staff and great selection of board games and card games. Things they may not have currently can easily be ordered to the store. A must visit in my opinion.
Have been buying games here since they opened. The staff has always been helpful with me and my son picking out games, explaining which ones would be best for us based on what we like. Their recommendations have never let me down and my son loves going in here to browse with me. The inside of the store is very clean and wall-to-wall stocked with different games. The tables you can play on are fantastic and we have always been welcomed in to sit and play a game. The feeling and experience at this store is always positive, from fellow gamers sitting and enjoying the space to the staff explaining and answering questions about games they themselves quite obviously love to play. Even if they dont have an item in stock that you are looking for, they will get it for you! A Great place with great people and tons of fun games!
Really friendly people! Top board game store I have found in the greater Boston area! Significantly better than Pandemonium in Cambridge IMO, worth the trip!
Go check it out! So many games 😍
Incredibly knowledgeable staff and a wide selection for casual game nights to obsessive (in a good way) gaming hobbies
Quick and helpful people, Im new to gaming, they made me feel welcome as a customer and newbie!
Love this store. Staff are well knowledgeable and very accommodating. They have gone above and beyond to help their customers during this Covid Pandemic. I appreciate all that they do. Highly recommend Alpha Omega.
Can’t recommend this place enough. I never played hobby games, but was always interested. When I came into the shop for the first time the Folks who run the shop made me feel very comfortable and they were very open to teaching me how to play. The community as a whole is one of the best I’ve ever experienced. I feel like you don’t find small business’s like this anymore. Great genuine people, very inclusive culture, and a very large selection of warhammer miniatures.
AoH is hands down the best hobby store in the area. The shop itself has tons of table space and a great selection of products, and the staff is top notch, this is always my first stop for my hobby needs.
Great staff, super friendly and helpful.
Best place in greater Boston for table top games and hobbies. Good prices and friendly staff. Great place to find a game no matter your skill level.
Excellent customer service.Let me paint a picture: its raining, its cold, its May 2020 and were in the middle of a pandemic. I decide I want to purchase a board game and start perusing local game and hobby shops when I virtually stumble across this gem. Huge selection with great prices (and one of the only stores in the area Ive seen where one can purchase Shadowrun paraphernalia- excellent bonus!). Also, their staff photo on the website is adorable. I would be on the red line en route if times were normal.I order my game and go back to work, assuming that itll appear sometime next week.THREE HOURS LATER... I get a mysterious phone call. Its the store (owner, I believe). Theyre going to be at my house in five minutes. With my game.Cant believe this happened. Extremely excited to actually patronize this place in person when things are back to normal.
Strongly recommend you check out Alpha Omega in Quincy for all your gaming and hobby needs. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful with any questions. Great shop with great people, you should check them out ASAP
Amazing store. I am not a gamer just dated one and now we have a little 8 year old gamer 😂 . I have spent time in this store with them and a lot of times without. Searching for that perfect board game present. The place is super organized and all of the people working there are so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I love it to find those games I would never think to buy. Thank you guys!!!
Ive been to a lot of hobbies stores in my life. This place has it going on from board games to dice cards to figures. A large gaming aria this place should be the spot for any 40k, magic, pokemon or board game events.
This place had everything I was looking for and I even found some retro-games. My son enjoys coming in here. Moderate prices. Highly recommend it. Excellent service
This place rocks. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. If they don’t have it they will get it for you. Super friendly community
The staff know their stuff so well. Really clean, good looking store. Really friendly people. Lots of table space for people who wanna come in with a group and play something. They even carry some books from the lore of some of the games. Just bought a Warhammer 40K book and am very excited to read it!
This place is one of the BEST gaming stores Ive ever been to. I know Adam personally, and you cant go wrong with a guy like him as your gaming go to. The selection is boss, the website kicks some serious butt, and the atmosphere is charged.The Emperor Protects.
I entered Alpha Omega Hobby with a friendly hello from two staffers and an offer for help finding anything I was looking for. The space is neat and organized so it only took a quick sweep of the store to find exactly what I wanted. And after a nice chat with the staff, I found a few extra items thanks to their recommendations. I will definitely be back to support this local business!
Open and family friendly space to socialize, play some games, learn new ones and make friends. Owners and staff are very cool, very knowledgeable, good with recommendations as well as willingness to teach. Well lit, plenty of open space and regularly scheduled events. Players/customers generally very friendly and supportive. Very well stocked retail experience for any and all game types. Very worth a visit. Join the Facebook group too!
Ive been to dozens of local game stores, but Alpha Omega is the only place I would call my Home store.Ive been part of the Magic: The Gathering community since the store opened. I love being part of FNM Drafts and regular Commander pods. The owners and plays are terrific.
Great staff, clean store, fully stocked, and just a moment from the T. Highly recommended.Also, this Ignacio guy blithering on about experience varies by race is trying to make trouble and nothing more. This is a welcoming shop run by people who are genuinely interested in making sure customers leave happy.
Staff was incredibly warm and friendly. Excellent selection of cards from recent as well as older sets (like much older) overall atmosphere is super relaxed. If I ever find myself in Quincy and need a place to play paper Magic. This is probably the place.
Great experience here. The staff is super friendly and helped me with picking out tools to start my hobby.
Definitely the dream game store... the gaming space is huge and perfect for events or casual gaming. Theyve got regular scheduled games open to anyone, from miniature wargames to boardgames to role playing games... they also have a great stock of games and supplies as well as a friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Friendly and knowledgeable great place to get started in the hobby
Ive only been here twice. Both times the staff have been knowledgeable and informative.
Fantastic mail-order service! Item came in two days! Great prices! AAAA+
Place is amazing. Super knowledgeable staff, very friendly, great community, TONS of stock for every type of game. They do painting classes for miniatures and scenery and can get you almost everything you could need. Cant recommend enough.
THE most knowledgeable staff you will ever meet. Its obvious they love their community and just as obviously love seeing the joy they spread to their customers; veterans and new folks alike!
I come here as much as I can, never have I seen a more impressive or Friendlier game store than Alpha Omega Hobby. There so professional and are like Jedi Masters, so wise and skilled in their respected fields of Gaming. If you like Magic: The Gathering, Star wars, D&D, Board games or cards games in general: THIS is the place for you.
I play Star Wars Destiny here every Friday night. This place is awesome, welcoming, and friendly! Great local shop for all your tabletop gaming needs or wants.
Excellent store with a great game community and a good sense of the hobby. The place is clean, the staff is friendly without being pushy, and they have a decent variety of games.Fun place!
Best hobby shop I’ve been to in New England and I’ve been to a number. Clean, well staffed, and well stocked. Great selection of games workshop products, card games, and board games.Staff are super knowledgeable and excited about what they sell. The community has been super welcoming and their social media has been great to coordinate a game.
Every time I stop by, the staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. Today, I brought two of my closest friends in with me, hoping to persuade them make the commute down to the store every once in a while. With a staff members help, I accomplished this goal. Alpha Omega Hobby is the number one hobby store in my eyes.
Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. They have everything you could want in terms of miniatures
Great place to play or buy games! Great community and great staff!
Fantastic store that was needed in the Boston area, table space is open for coming in and playing games, has more space and is more welcoming than most stores in the area. Owners are insanely knowledgeable about gaming and very enthusiastic to help you find what youre looking for. Store is well lit and welcoming to all types of gamers.
This place is great. The staff is always super helpful, friendly, and professional. Im here every week, and I see no reason to stop.
Our new favorite gaming store! Amazing selection of games and miniatures.
Staff is really genuine, nice and knowledgable. If they dont have what youre after theyll be honest and say our community for that game didnt take off but it did at this other place not too far away and I gotta respect that. They have a lot of mtg and a little bit of everything else, so I definitely recommend checking this place out, every time Ive gone I had a great time.
I have been to a lot of game stores in and outside the Boston area, and so far I have yet to be seen a place with this level of customer service. The staff is always friendly and store is kept in wonderful condition. I cant recommend Alpha Omega Hobby enough, and even though there are hobby shops that are more convenient I will typically go the extra mile to come here.
Really neat place, owners and staff are friendly. The have all sort of board and card games for sale, and also several tables to hang out and play
Great gaming store, and by far the cutest gamer girls. Love the store, excellent selection. A lot of games and girls to choose from.Thank you AO, you provide top notch gaming culture.
My go-to hobby shop. Since I moved to the area about a year ago, Ive loved AO and claimed it as my near-daily haunt. The staff and customers have been not only accepting but inviting and between game nights on Wednesday, D&D on Saturday, and painting on Sunday, I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else.
This shop in the heart of Quincy center is wonderful. Tons of games for all types of gamers. If you like board games they have a huge collection of things you have never even heard of. Lots of wargaming stuff. Paint and hobby supplies from many brands and they are always willing to special order you anything as fast as the suppliers can get it.Very welcoming and open community for all games and players.Tons of open tables to play games at. And their board game library in the back is quite impressive as well.Best part is it’s all free to play there. No pay bay per event or anything like that.I am there as often as I can be playing with friends I have made in the comunityJust go to there and see you won’t be disappointed
Fantastic place for tabletop, shop is nice and open and have a truly ridiculous amount of inventory to browse.
What an incredible selection and the staff is super friendly. You can rent boardgames there for $2.50 for the day and there is a huge selection to choose from. They also have a RPG corner specifically for that.
Guy started following me around store as soon as I entered, actually left a paying customer in the middle of a transaction behind to do it. Didn’t feel welcomed at all, experience probably varies by your race.
Some of the most friendly staff in a gaming store Ive ever had the pleasure of meeting! The store is clean and well stocked with board games, Warhammer and table top games and of course Magic the Gathering and other collectible card games. Its a very welcoming environment especially for new Magic The Gathering players on the Friday Night Magic events. I highly recommend stopping in if you need a game store.
Alpha Omega Hobby is a store I discovered because of a wargaming hobby of mine. I was always hesitant to drive to Quincy from where I live because it was so far out of the way. I was eventually peer pressured into going to meet up with some of the guys from the wargaming group. To say I regret nothing would be a lie, I regret not having gone sooner. AO is a wonderful store with a great staff and an incredible amount of gaming space to make a guy feel right at home.Their selection of gaming material and hobby supplies is astonishing and for the most part, if you cannot find it somewhere on the wall, they can order it for you.I truly enjoy going to this store, they really make me feel welcome and appreciated.
Amazing selection of games from multiple genres. If they dont have it they can get it. Staff is beyond friendly and will bend over backwards for their customers. Their professionalism is unmatched.
Ive been going to AO for nearly a year now and I love this place. The staff are friendly and VERY knowledgeable about just about everything in the store. Its really more of a community center that happens to sell games. Plus their new location (right next door to the old location) is much bigger and now they have space for lots more inventory and gaming space.
Love this shop! They have a great selection of minis and paint supplies, plenty of table space for gaming, and the staff are wonderful!
Alpha Omega is far and away my favorite shop in the Boston area. Its always very clean, well lit, and has quite a bit of playing space even during big events. The staff is super friendly and willing to help with whatever youre interested in to make sure you leave the store happy. Another thing that sets AO apart is the inventory - these guys play everything they sell, so they know what gamers want. The Age of Sigmar and 40k inventory is particularly impressive; lots of hard-to-find products and deep selection.
Awesome people with a wonderful environment to enjoy games for however long you want! And you can play a ton of games for free!!
My experience was not only unique, but also beyond incredible. Ben was basically dealing with a monster (referring to me) as I was trying to acquire a discontinued GW warhammer 40k piece that only his store had in stock. I live out of state and while stuck in hospital due to a motorcycle wreck, I couldnt be present at my address to confirm whether or not my packages were ever delivered to right address.There was a hiccup in shipping and with everything I was dealing with, I just flipped out and Ben, at 9:35pm PST (my timezone) immediately jumped on the situation and provided me with his plan as to how to rectify it and literally within less than 12 hours he had already done so much research and provided me with all the tools and confirmation I needed to confirm the location of my shipment which gave me not only instant relief but also an overwhelming elation of joy and gratitude since I felt like he actually cared and even from many states away, he made me feel as if he was right there with me throughout all of this..And for just a mere discontinued character.. one little piece.. clearly the value of satisfaction and happiness from his customers means more to him than the profit margins. So no matter the size of purchase, I am 100% confident thst this man, and this business will treat you more like a family member, and less like a number. No doubt Covid-19 has made things difficult for everyone; but i couldnt even tell with Ben because he stepped up and went full throttle with helping me when others would have either not cared as much or would have already felt so overhwlemed with everything else that they wouldnt have the energy or efforts to help me.. but Ben is clearly a rare breed and I wholeheartedly look forward to purchasing more from this store, and waiting for them to arrive by mail, instead of going to any number of neighboring hobby stores or GW stores in my area because this is a business worth investing in.. this is the kind of customer service that not only deserves to be acknowledged, but is worth fighting for and striving to keep around. If you have doubts, fair, but i urge you to trust in this company because they have what no other store has, and thats Ben.. many stores may have A Ben.. but none of them have THE Ben; and he can only be found at AlphaOmegaHobby!
I guess my phone in my pocket rated the place for me without my consent haha but lets be honest this is a 5 star for me. Love this place and the staffs are amazing!
Super nice people running this place and the selection is also good. I ordered a large kickstarter game through them and one of the owners went out of his way to drop if it of at my house in Somerville one his way into work one day. Can really tell the owners are in this because they love the hobby and want to create a great environment for everyone else.
Neat, clean gaming store. Lots of tables for card games and board games in the middle of the store. Lots of nice tables for wargaming in the back. Staff is friendly and helpful. Selection of board games is great. Selection of miniatures is fair - most of it is GW, but they have a fair selection of other products. They keep expanding their selection and usually have a good supply of the new hotness.
Great local gaming shop with a wide selection of board and miniature games. They have a plethora of events on their calendar and are generally open to folks running gaming events at the store.They also have a modest selection of CCG and tabletop RPGs for sale.
Clean, friendly and well laid out. Good board game selection.
Absolutely excellent customer service! I will definitely be ordering more from Alpha Omega Hobby!
Best store in the world. One of the owners, Adam, is the nicest person you will ever meet, I seriously recommend this place for anyone who likes to play any board game or war game. The community is one of a kind.
This place is super welcoming. First time there and we had over an hour conversation about Transformers lore in regards to the TCG as well as Vampire the Masquerade. Everytime we go, the place is super clean and theyre always willing to make sure everyone has space to play!
