Very pleasant, roomy environment. Snacks, drinks, and even beer available. Excellent selection items, especially if you're into board games or CCGs. Nice focused displays dedicated to local designers.

We have never been to such a cool game store before. The amount of games you could try out was cool. Lots of tables to play at. Awesome selection and local makers too. The employees were very helpful, knowledgeable and super engaged with customers.

This is hands down the greatest local game store I've ever been to. The selection inside is mind blowing and extremely well organized. They had very rare games that were hard to find even online. The staff was extraordinarily welcoming and helpful giving many recommendations with detailed descriptions of each game and how they work, it was very clear the man I was talking to knew all about board games. I didn't have a chance to play anything from their expansive game wall or magic in their huge playing area. They seemed to also sell alcohol which is a huge bonus for some people. Overall this local game store is jaw dropping and i would recommend going out of your way to check this place out.
