Third Eye Games & Hobbies

So, the renowned Third Eye (run by the awesome Steve and Trish) has expanded its operations once more. This time they took their small «game» section and opened a full-​blown store. Located in the same strip mall, albeit on the opposite corner (and not exactly walking distance), Third Eye Games & Hobbies is a nice addition.
Now, don’t get me wrong… they don’t have the BEST stock. I’ll leave that honor to Games and Stuff in Glen Burnie. Still, they do have a good amount of stock and they often have a few items that G&S doesn’t (even if G&S has some things you can’t find at Third Eye.) This stock runs the whole range: board games, card games, complex tabletop games, wargames, roleplaying games, accessories, collectibles, etc. Just like their awesome Comic store, there’s something for ~everyone~ on the shelves.
In addition, they have a back room that’s often used for a variety of in-​house events. From wargame tournaments to RPG sessions, check the calendar and see about signing up. (I would, but I can barely manage a regular game with the neighbors, let alone driving to Annapolis. :P)
What really makes Third Eye Games top-​notch, however, is the people. Just like the awesome staff of Third Eye Comics, the people here are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They’ll get new gamers started in the right direction while simultaneously chatting with veterans and helping them with their «game» (no pun intended.)
So, if live in the Annapolis area, or even a bit further, you can’t go wrong with a stop at Third Eye Games. Even if you’re a loyal customer of another store, you may be surprised what you find on their shelves here. A gamer should never be wary of trying something new!

I have already ranted and raved about Third Eye Comics, which is right around the corner from Third Eye Games and Hobbies. Rest assured, Third Eye Games is just as awesome!
As with the comic book staff, the staff here are knowledgable, pleasant, and available. They can answer any question in-​depth, and make well-​informed recommendations.
The store itself stocks all types of board games, from 2 players up to several players. They also stock popular card games, such as Magic, Vanguard, Force of Will and Weiss Schwarz.
There is a large seating area in the back, where you can take games out for a test spin before you buy them. It’s also a great place to spend time with friends or family, and try out some new games.
As with the comic shop, the hobbies and games shop also stocks memorabilia such as posters, figures, and a handful of «retro» video games. Between the two store fronts, there is something for everyone.
Both Third Eye Comics, and Games and Hobbies use the same loyalty rewards system, so you can rack up points at both locations to earn rewards.
It may be hard to find this store, as it is on the opposite end of the shopping center from the comics shop, and around the corner– but it’s worth the one or two minute walk to find it! It is definitely a hidden gem in Annapolis for game fans.

Originally, Third Eye Comics (at the other end of the same plaza) had some games. Now, they have opened a whole shop dedicated to games of all kinds. You can even come and play your favorite game in the back of the shop. This is a pretty big selection and there is a game to appeal to every one at every age.
The few times I have been here I have left with a massive headache. The music was way too loud. It might have been that it wasn’t too crowded, but I seriously couldn’t stand it.
They have a handful of old video games, but the selection seems pretty limited.
