We only make it to Dungeons Gate once a year, but we always make sure to get there as the staff are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and amazingly supportive of people in general and the Ankeny community specifically. Their shop has a great range of games and books for a wide range of interests add levels.

The store has a great selection for us nerds but they also have captured a community which is pretty rare nowadays. Their prices are also competitive with an online company whose name is a river in South America. Even if they weren’t, I would still buy things there because what they have created is unique and should be supported.

The owner helped us find a gift for my son's middle school friend. We wanted a 2+ player deck building game. He gave us great recommendations and wrapped the gift for us! Such a fun store with a large selection!
