So awesome that places like this still exist. Its a little off the beaten path and I didn't even know it existed until today. The store is wall to wall a great selection of comics and games. The owner was super friendly and even gave me a 20% discount. Plenty of tables for table top games. Seems like a great place to get together with friends for some old-school gaming. I will definitely be going back.
Perfect place to just sit down and have a good game of commander. Alot more roomy in this location, plenty of tables to sit down and hangout with friends. My husband and I come here every weekend and love seeing newcomers and regulars. Great community, amazing owner, the perfect staff. This place will always have my patronage. 😊
I checked out this place during my lunch one day and was pleasantly surprised. It was jam packed with different board games, card games, statues, books, comics, dice, and etc. They have a nice open area for free play, as one of the associates let me know about. I overheard conversations about different orgin stories, while others we playing some MTG. Overall the place has a great cozy and fun vibe to it.
This place is a hidden gem with great variety, especially when it comes to board games and comics! There are so many options to choose from, and they have demo games you can play with as well! Would recommend
Interesting location to try and find this place but still was a great shop to visit. I think I came in the middle of a tournament becusse I was welcomed in when I came in and tables were set up. I came in during Free Comic Book Day and definitely didn't get that celebratory vibe from it. I also had to wait a few minutes to try and buy a couple things as well..
