This store is right by my favorite laundromat, so I decided to take my son over to check it out. For those of you unaware(not that I’m an expert or know anything of substance about it) there’s a card game called Magic(the Gathering) and people who enjoy it can play for hours on end, completely content and completely engaged. The reason we came here was that my son is learning to play Pokemon, which(if you’re also unaware) is a card game with more simple rules for younger audiences to play for hours on end, completely content and completely engaged. We were hoping to find some Pokemon cards for purchase, and to see if anyone was playing. We found a small selection of Pokemon products, but were completely astonished by the overwhelming catalog of Magic cards, sets, posters, mats, and several tables with several players engaging in their favorite pastime. I commented to one of the co-owners, Justin, on how cool this place was and how I didn’t know anything about Magic, but could appreciate the passion that these players had around the game. Justin politely excused himself and brought me several decks of Magic cards and handed them over! He let me know that they give out free starter packs for people who are trying to see if they like the game or not. It was just a sampling of what some call«cardboard crack», Justin told me. He invited us back to play any time, and even promised to hold the last Pokemon starter set for my son to purchase after saving his allowance. This is how you run a small business: focus on something you love, your passion… show customers how much you love it… and share it! There’s a huge selection of other games and accessories, but we’ll be back for the Pokemon cards, and maybe an engaging game of Magic.

Great selection of world renowned board games and other fun games. These are games that are not found in Target or produced by Milton Bradley, which those are good, but these are great. They had 5 versions of Ticket to Ride in stock, and are the only brick and mortar store that I know of that sells Cards Against Humanity, love it! They also sponsor game play in store.
