This place IS the place to go for games in Columbia. Huge selection, seems like they have a lot of structured game nights/tournaments etc… My only complaint: elitist staff and regulars. If you don’t fit their idea of what a tabletop or rpg gamer looks like, it’s not unlikely that you’ll get the feeling that they’re scoffing at you. Staff aren’t rude or mean, but I know multiple people who have felt judging eyes and a little condescension based on how they were dressed, groomed, or what they’re buying.

Great game shop. Something for every one. Helpful staff. Best game shop I’ve been to in Missouri.

I’ve visited maybe 20 board games stores in North America. This is, without a doubt, the best, and my favorite, among all of them. First, they have an extensive selection. About half the store is dedicated to the D&D/Warhammer/Magic-type collection-heavy, RPG-style, or miniatures. The other half is dedicated to Euro-style gaming(with a little American party gaming here and there). It’s a spacious layout that’s very conducive to browsing. It’s easy to look around and browse. Second, the staff has always been helpful. Some of them have kids and tell us their preferred kid-friendly games. They always have a couple of selections based upon preferences. We haven’t been steered wrong by their advice yet, and that’s something. Third, they have a small rewards program, where they keep your phone number on file, and after a certain amount of purchases you get a gift certificate. Small, sure, but it’s great for loyalty. Fourth, the selection is phenomenal. They hit the right balance on everything. They don’t overwhelm you with Dominion variants or Killer Bunnies add-ons. There’s a little of everything for everyone. If you want Munchkin or a Catan, you can get it. If you want a party game, you can get it. If you want some of the more obscure games from Z-Man or Rio Grande, they often have it. This is, as mentioned, my favorite board game store in North America. I haven’t visited them all. But if you’re in central Missouri, try them.
