The Gamers Grotto

Pretty great game stop, as far as those go.
Gamers Grotto has:
–board and card games
–video games and consoles (including old school Sega and Nintendo, plus lots of PlayStation)
–used DVDs (including TV series)
–hobby supplies
–tournament tables
I love that they had the used DVDs for $ 4, and some on clearance for $ 1. I found a copy of the Great Gatsby (Baz Luhrmann) for $ 4 and it was in near-​perfect condition. What a steal! There were plenty of other DVDs to choose from, in all genres, so make sure you take a look.
The gaming section was sufficient, though perhaps not as hearty as other gamers shops I’ve been to. I didn’t see any of the Arkham horror games. They did have quite a healthy representation of the Monopoly special editions, different types of chess and other family staples. Prices for the games were on point with other gaming shops, but still more expensive than you’d find online. ($ 20 – 40 for an average board game).
I briefly perused the video game section, looking for Sega Dreamcast games, but didn’t find any at first glance. When I asked the guy behind the counter, he said «if we had some, it’d be in the cabinet.» You mean, the locked cabinet that I can’t get into? Although I could peek in through the glass, there was no way I could check each case myself. He never came over to assist me, or to open the cabinet. Instead, he asked some dude who was sitting at a tournament table if he had time to fit in a game with him.
The manager noticed me looking a bit disgruntled and asked if he could help. I explained that the other employee didn’t really help me to my satisfaction, and the manager came over and looked for Dreamcast games with me. When he didn’t find any, he showed me where he shops online for games– above and beyond customer service! Much appreciated. Note: there is a $ 5 minimum for debit/​credit card transactions.
I walked out with just the DVD, but at least the interaction with management showed that Gamers Grotto cares about the satisfaction of its paying customers, in addition to supporting its loyal tournament players.

Stopped by in here to check it out as we were passing through the town and the place looks AWESOME. I seriously wish I had this place near my house and it could just take all my money.
Great selection of boardgames to purchase. Pretty much every single one of my favorites was here. Zombicide, dixit, pandemic, all the catans, and other spectacularly nerdy games. There is also an area to rent time to play card games and video games. Classics too.
Obvi if you’re not into this stuff then it’s just a nerd zone but if you are and have a decent amount of disposable cash you won’t want to leave. Ever.

As a kid in Bennington, many complained of having little or nothing to do on the weekends or during vacations. Gamer’s Grotto provides card tournaments, the luxury to relax and play video games in a friendly environment and they hold video game tournaments for both youth and adults alike. Selling everything from Magic cards and vintage video games to board games and new releases, Gamer’s Grotto is a great local store.

I heard about the Gamer’s Grotto when I came here to go to school. But I didn’t start visiting regularly until recently because my boyfriend got me into Magic. This place is a really fantastic community for gamers and nerds of all kinds. They have lots of table top RPGs which of course include Warhammer. They also carry a very good and inexpensive collection of Magic cards. My boyfriend was thrilled when we visited and said the prices for Magic cards was really great.
The staff are very quirky and friendly. I’ve only been about four or five times but they remember me and chat with me when I come in. The Grotto participates in Friday Night Magic and also hosts tournaments so if you like competitions, this is the place to go.
I definitely recommend this place if you’re interested in any sort of card, video, or table top games.

The Gamer’s Grotto is awesome! There are tons of games, old video games, and dvds to choose from, plus an assortment of nerdy toys and widgets. I could browse for hours in this store, sadly though I was on vacation and didn’t have too much time.
I loved the selection of old dvds. I saw several cartoons from my childhood, at really good prices. They have a large selection of current movies, and the prices are so cheap that you don’t feel guilty buying that Cillian Murphy movie that you’ve seen 10 times on television but just need to own and can’t pass up!
The board game selection is very interesting. I saw several games that I would love to try out. There appeared to be two groups of people playing card game tournaments; one was Magic, and I have no idea what the other was so please subtract five from my geek meter. It looked like the place to be if you’re interested in role playing games.
Prices, as I said before, were fantastic. There is no gouging going on at all, as far as I could tell. I wish I had a store like this closer to home. I would spend a fortune there! I definitely recommend stopping in as it’s right on the main street in the downtown area and there is plenty of parking. You won’t regret it!
