Gamer’s Guild

Love board games ever since watching table top on you tube. Tons of new styles that put monopoly and such to shame, and this store has loads to choose from, plus its fairly priced (won’t find a better deal other than online or some crazy sales)

My boyfriend and I recently started getting into a card game called Magic the Gathering. It was a little daunting at first and seemed incredibly expensive to get into, however with Gamer Guilds help and knowledge we were able to make our first plunge into the community. This place is not only a great resource for gaming information, but it is an incredibly friendly environment that is great for newcomers and experienced players alike. We are definitely coming back!

So where do you go when your youngest begins to enjoy the game «Magic» and you have no idea what it is all about. After visiting a few shops and not really learning anything I hit the jackpot with Gamer’s Guild. Budge was a terrific, patient source of info for both of us and helped immensely. The folks in the shop were great and everyone seemed to be really having lots of fun. Definitely will return when we get back in the area.

I wish there were more game stores like this! They had every kind of game you could be interested in ~ console, tabletop, board, card, etc. The manager Budge was friendly and helpful, and had all the information I could want on when certain tournaments or casual games were held. The layout of the store is open and comfortable, and they had an excellent mix of games I know and love and newer games I can’t wait to try out. I’m especially enamored of their demo policy ~ try before you buy! My timing wasn’t great as I showed up just before closing, but even though the space is small they offer so much! This will definitely be one of my top hang out spots!

My son loves this place. He and his friends will go there together to play console games, usually XBOX 360 because the store has XBOX Live Gold subscriptions on all their boxes. We held my son’s birthday party there and they were GREAT. The owner was very nice and helpful, it was a good deal and each kid got a discount coupon they could use on their next visit. During the party I even tried out Little Big Planet on the PS3 and had a lot of fun, while my wife played board and party games with the woman behind the counter. Their base rate is $ 5/​hr for the console games which seemed like a decent price to me, plus they have some promotions and discounts on top of that. I am not a gamer at heart but I really like having a place like this in Boulder. Note: there is a Subway sandwich shop and an Amante coffee shop nearby when you need a recharge. Parking is a little awkward (you park around back, but have to walk around the front) but seemed plentiful, and was free.

I just returned from checking this place out. One of my fellow gamers on
pointed me to this place.
Upon entering, on the left is the counter with some Magic: The Gathering cards in the display case along with several card games. Behind the counter are some padded weapons for LARPing (Live-​Action Role Playing) along with some planes for Wings of War, mostly from the second series (Watch Your Back).
On the right side are two magazine style racks. The right rack has the Role-​Playing Gaming type books such as Dungeons & Dragons on the top shelf and various other games on the center and bottom shelf including Shadowrun.
The left rack has more board games and family type games including all the Wings of War boxed sets and several Munchkin and Killer Bunny boxes.
There are a couple of tables between the counter and the racks. On the wall to the right of the counter are 5 or 6 computer gaming stations ready for someone to drop in and play. In the back is a wide screen TV for PS3 and X-​Box gaming.
There’s a lounge to the left of the two large racks and when I was there, the owner was taking one of the tables and chairs and putting it outside on the sidewalk. On a non-​windy day, it might actually be cool to play outside :)
The owner was friendly and more than willing to take orders for games or materials and he was willing to chat with me for a few minutes about Wings of War and Shadowrun (two of my favorite games).
His location is a bit out of the way for me as I work in Longmont (Stonebridge Games) and live in Broomfield (Black and Read) with South Boulder (Karliquin’s) as a jog to the west. There are a lot of houses up that way and I would likely come here as often as any other if I were closer.
Edit: Pricing! Almost forgot. The prices here are a tad better than Stonebridge and Karliquin’s. Still not quite good enough to spend the extra gas to go get it.
