Able to find an excellent chess game for grandsons upcoming birthday π. The help was the kind I like, ...if you need help I am available.... Liked it so much I went back to get my own personal book on chess. I have to stay up to speed for an up and coming chess champion ( whenever he challenges me). Wonderful helpful, friendly, polite staff. The handout is helpful also.
This has to be my new favorite store!!! The owner was so nice and we ended up talking about our favorite board games for close to 20 minutes. He gave us a few suggestions which we ended up purchasing and we absolutely loved them! There is a HUGE selection of games, including a couple kickstarter games that can be a little difficult to find. If you like board games or want a cool gift for friends or family, I definitely recommend you stop by!!
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff, and a fun place to find all kinds of games!
Extremely helpful, friendly staff. They explain how to play games as well as have some opened ones that you can try out before buying. Theres also a preferred client program.
Great organization. Always helpful and knowledgeable. Bummed the Greenfield store had to close with the covid mess but hope enough folks keep visiting to keep them afloat.
Great selection of games for literally everyone. My mom found a game she has been looking for and my aunt got some too. The staff was nice and explained a couple of games to them they didnt understand.
The staff here is unbelievable. These guys really have a passion for what they do. They were knowledgeable and BEYOND helpful. I went here on a whim, like eh, Ill see whats in there. but had an experience in customer service I didnt expect. 5 stars bruh.
Once they reopen after covid and get back to the old days its a great place to have a spontaneous game, or to show up to an event... Prizes are usually really good (for the events)
This store had everything I was looking for and more!! Not to mention knowledgeable staff members who were eager to make sure I left with what I was looking for! Instead of the usually people that just want you to spend money! Ill definitely be returning there to pick up more items! ππ½
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Amazing selection of board games. The staff is very helpful.
Love this place. Wish there was one in Michigan
A nice quality game store with friendly and knowledgeable people.
I love the employees that work here. Every time I go I know that if I have any questions or need help making a selection no one will hesitate to assist. Such a welcoming environment.
I have never been helped so much in my entire life. You cant walk 2 steps in this store without someone forcing their assistance on you. They have every game you can think of. And they seem to have played every game in store as well. Including all the kids games. Very knowledgeable.
This place is FANTASTIC. You will not see better service anywhere else.
Such a great variety of games with a knowledgeable staff! Cant wait for it to fully reopen events!
Two employees got me, a Magic noob, some free cards and a quick rundown of deck themes in terms I could understand, just before the mall was closing. I had another store to hit.As Im trying to check out, someone Im assuming is the manager corrected (mansplained) the female employees simple explanation into terms I didnt understand, though more towards her than me, the one who was asking. Im trying to check out but everyones trying not to interrupt the probably-manager as times ticking away.So the employees were great and I had a wonderful experience at first, but felt overwhelmed and gatekept and slightly uneasy at the probably-managers mansplaining that left me little time to shop elsewhere.
They have a lot of popular titles and a used game section.
Great variety. Very clean
Great service. Very friendly. Wide selection
The employees at the Mayfair branch are the absolute best! Serious shout out to Jess who made my Christmas shopping an absolute breeze! Would definitely recommend checking this place out!
Store is open and they and they are only allowing certain number of customers in to keep up safety standards. Great preorder program in store.
Everything was displayed very well. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I had a great experience in this store.
Very helpful guys working! And they say we can order online now, so any games they dont have we can get shipped to the store or to our house
Staff is so helpful and friendly. I also appreciate the covid measures in place.
These folks are informative and helpful. Id recommend either their retail or online with in-store pick up experiences.
Staff was very helpful picking out some gifts for family members. Great place to shop.
Great spot to browse and find excellent games! Anthony was extremely helpful by listening to us as we talked about games we have enjoyed in the past. From that he was able to make helpful suggestions for games that we might like. It was clear he was passionate about the games he was suggesting and could explain what made them special. It was a great experience and looking forward to playing our new game and returning to Barristers for more!
I had an absolutely lovely time here. Initially went in to browse their Dungeons & Dragons goods and got caught up in conversation with two cashiers about the game. They were both very lively and gave some information about some local shops that we could have been interested in. I will for sure be coming back to make more purchases because of the employees. Top notch job.
The employee working was AMAZING. very helpful, friendly, and talkative. Gave great suggestions and was always willing to help. Never had better customer service in a store! New favorite game store!
Not impressed, the staff were very rude to us the other day we were going to stop in so much so that my significant other got upset and walked away from the store. I dont know why it was such a big deal to let us both in a the same time...
Super helpful friendly staff and so many fun options for games of all kinds and for all ages.
The staff was super helpful great place to find awesomeness
The two guys working there were super nice and really funny. Weβll be back for sure
Named directory doesnβt work either when you call. Each store has a different answer, avoid at all costs.
Lovely little store. Looking for a Deluxe Scrabble game and was disappointed.
Had everything I was looking for and more!
Very pleasant, they have a big selection and I was impressed by their quarantine precautions.
Really cant beat the customer service here. Everyone is always so nice! Ive gone during the day and on busy weekends and they always have staff genuinely excited to help.The childrens toys are really nice and fairly priced. No obnoxious flashy toys, all toys that make kids think.Tons of puzzles and just about every game you can think of.Dont know what youd like? Or getting a gift? I really cant say enough good things about the staff, they will absolutely help you find what you need.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff
The staff is very knowledgeable. The selection of games and jigsaw puzzles is expansive. Perfect for any kind of gamer! Store is very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend stopping in
This store offers an excellent array of board games, dice games, puzzles, party games, role-playing games and more. The staff is quite helpful and knowledgable, able to recommend any number of games depending on what youre looking for, from personal experience with them. There is no doubt that you will find something to enjoy. Additionally they host Magic tournaments, and offer space for gaming for only a small fee. I happily spend too much money here. Not to say that the prices are too high, but the selection always piques my interest.
A Gamers Paradise
Love the store, very educational.
Super friendly staff who are always happy to help answer questions or just talk about some new games. Theyve also been great about helping us find and order new games that they dont have in stock.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Helped me pick out a toy for a sick 3yr old in the hospital. She was very happy with her doctor puppet!
This is our favorite place to look at new games! Unfortunately we live in Chicago, so we visit when we can, but they also have game nights for D&D! Ask the staff there about those events cause they sound like they are a lot of fun!
My boyfriend and I always love going in here. We are huge D&D fans and he loves Magic the Gathering. These guys usually host a MTG draft night and they also host D&D dungeon crawl sessions. Great place for the family and they have a variety of games for sale.
Friendly and helpful staff. If there is a game youre looking for, theyll help you find it. If they dont have it, theyll order it for you or let you know when itll be restocked.
This is truly a cool store! Found some really neat games! Will be going back!
Excellent collection in a nice area. One of the better local game shops around. Ill buy from them over online any day.
Cool store. Lots of different types of games. Nice that they have an area of demo games.
I really like Board Game Barrister. Its a chain, but a local one, and each one has the feel of a real, old-school game store complete with staff who not only know about, but actually play the games. If you want a cool place to pick up a board game or RPG- or even if you want to go in and play one on their game nights, any of the Barrister locations is a good spot to go.
This place is okay.. you really need to be into most of the hobbies they have available to enjoy itAlso if the store had Yu-Gi-Oh in stock Id frequently stop in
This place is awesome for the tabletop gamer. From vintage D&D to the best miniatures. Check out the dice sets... and chess sets. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Everyone is always friendly and its one of my favorite places to come and play D&D and MTG.
Had a pretty good variety of stuff, wish they had a better way to display the wizkids and reaper bones miniatures. Its on these two small turning racks and its just annoying. You have to take off almost all the minis just to see what they have in stock. Time consuming and a bit lazy for the store to make the customer do this in my opinion!
Such a great place. I have nothing bad to say. The service is impeccable, the selection is huge, and the employees have experience playing everything Ive purchased so far.
Great place to get games and more for the family. Areas to play the games in the store as well as a very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Magic is played regularly as well as D and D Adventures League.
Love all the options here! Plus they have knowledgeable staff!
The have a huge selection of games and great learn to play events, however beware of prices! Their games are typically more expensive than buying at other retailers and usually by a decent amount too.
Nice shop full of soo many board games. Stop in and have a look!!
Great place to go. Will help with anything board game you need. If they cant help they will point you in the right direction.
This is the newest of the Board Game Barrister stores. It is large, very large. All of the latest popular releases are available and older titles can be ordered through BGB. The staff is very knowledgeable. The store carries board games, collectible card games, chess sets, puzzles, etc. There are a variety of events (check their calendar) and tournaments.
Great service, great selection
Staff were so friendly! They seen me looking at dice and invited me behind the counter to look at their metal dice collection. They chatted it up with me and let me take my time.
Good selection, a lot of space is taken up by more little kid type games and crafts. But overall nice variety, ok price
Loved the store and the people were super friendly and helpful, they will take the time to explain the board games and reccomend ones you may like
Had an absolute blast at this store! Great staff and awesome products! Cant wait to go back.
Has board games. Could have a better puzzle selection but then again, its not called Puzzle Barrister
Good variety. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and well maintained.
This is the best place to go on a rainy day to try out new games and have a family fun day. Prices are good and points can be saved for discounts.
Tons of game options with knowledgeable staff. They have some games out on display. You can rent both tables and games to play within the store. Tons of options overall.
It was a wonderful experience and the employees were very attentive and helpful
Awesome place to sit and play games when you have the time. Knowledgable and friendly staff always happy to suggest games for whatever you may need!
The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. My family and I love to come and try out new games!
I always enjoy shopping here, they have a wide variety of games to choose from outside of what you might normally expect.
Friendly and helpful staff. Fun environment.

Great place to go if you are interested in finding a boardgame, they have such a wide variety that you are bound to find something for you. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the different games we asked about. They let us know about the Magic the Gathering game night that they have.
Awsome selection of table top rpgs!
A perfect place to relax, have some great food and drink and play any game you want with whoever you want!!! I hope they open more locations in the future!

Very RACIEST the guy name Anthony at the Mayfair mall store tried to accuse my 3 yr old son of stealing a toy when he didnβt he was just looking at it like what every kid does when they see a toy. And he got mad when my 6 yr old daughter accidentally dropped some popcorn she was eating for her snack. I am not happy at all had a horrible experience I wish I can give this store 0 stars
Great selection of games, employees are really great & knowledgeable without making you feel dumb!
Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. They didnt mind my million questions
The staff is amazing!!!! My wife and I love bringing the kids here!!!
Had so many great finds for my toddler and 7 year old
I always enjoy coming to the Barrister, even just to window shop.
Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very pleased with this location.
Interesting store but publicly shows discounts for frequent shoppers. Gave me a little attitude when I asked about prices on some things because I wasnt part of their premium membership.
