Pandemonium

Awesome place, but Unilocal has the wrong address listed. Cost me tons of time! They have moved to a new location:
6033 Middlebelt Rd
Garden City, MI 48 135‑2487
Happy gaming!

First of let me say that they have not closed, but only moved a block down the road.
Let’s get to the good: The biggest selection of Games Workshop Warhammer 40k and Bones Reaper miniatures in the area. A great selection of paint and other terrain supplies. Some hard to find casting materials and they support the smaller companies as well. They have (had) a huge gaming area with card tables and terrain that is free to use. Very Very friendly staff and the best part of all is the bits bin’s. I once got 10 space marines command squad still on the spru for $ 18!!! I was also able to find the an 8 figure Chaos Space Marines spru pack for $ 20! I must have been lucky that day because I have yet to find anything close to such a great deal like it, but I keep looking.
Now the bad: The prices on their GW mini’s are a bit expensive. More so than most of the other stores in the area. The gaming area itself smells like a toilet and I’m not exaggerating when I say this. It really does/​did smell bad. Some of my other reviews have noted that so I know I’m not alone with a sensitive smell.
The bottom line: A great place to pick up supplies and bits, but there are other places that are cleaner and closer too my location that I can play at. I hope that the new location doesn’t smell as badly as the old one. Sorry guy’s, but some air freshner would do a world of wonders in the gaming area.

I used to come here all the time, but last night, i was going there, they were closed down, i mean, there is nothing in the store! anyone here knows why he closed down?

I found this place on Unilocal while I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping. I was pleasantly surprised and relived by their wide selection of board games. They’re not the best selection in Michigan, that honor I’d save for the Vault of Midnight in Ann Arbor, but they were close, had a private parking lot (Ann Arbor parking is a PAIN) and helped me find a gift that I needed for that evening.
They also seemed to have a great selection of tabletop miniatures, and Magic cards, and a huge area set up with tables and chairs for gaming.

Pandemonium is a really great gaming store! They have a great supply of gaming materials both miniatures and books. The staff is courteous and friendly and very willing to help the uninitiated to gaming. Also, if they don’t have something, they will order it for you. I would say the only drawback to the place is the sour stench to the main gaming room from the unwashed troglodytes that use the room on the weekend. I only go into the store part and avoid the gaming area at all costs!

Pandemonium is the longest running quality game store in Michigan. The owner (Brandon) has made sure he carries all the major gaming lines.
Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40k, Malifaux, Infinity, Warmachine, Hordes are complete miniature lines, you’ll rarely if ever need to order anything.
Forgeworld is carried as well, with certain high demand items commonly stocked as well as the major rulebooks. Significant amounts of impulse items are carried as well.
Almost every reaper miniatures is stocked, as well as terrain and odd models from smaller companies.
Full lines of paints from GW and Vallejo. Reaper paint sets, and inks and brushes from several companies.
Magic is a main focus of the store with regular tournaments, PTQ’s, pre-​releases and regions. Its rare that someone seeks a single card that isn’t in stock. They are so in depth they even have a sealed box of revised and boosters of Legends available.
Yugio and World of Warcraft are both carried and events supported, just no singles for those games.
For role play the store has D&D, Pathfinder, and Palladium as well as other lines. The store stocks the most complete lines of boardgames I’ve seen.
The play area is enormous and free with vending machines for snacks and drinks as well as terrain for wargames and a dedicated tournament space in the back.
The only real downside is the bathrooms. They’ve been abused so badly by the patrons over the years that they are a bit rough, but still serviceable and kept reasonable by the staff.

Very cool store! My husband stops here constantly for Magic cards. The employee’s really know their stuff and are always willing to spend as much time with you as needed to ensure you get everything you are looking for. They have awesome gaming areas and constantly have events going in.

I met a buddy here to talk shop. I spoke to the owner and one of the employees they were both very nice and informed. The shop has a ton of product for table top strategy games. And a decent selection for roleplaying games. They have a very large area for gaming if you want to come in and use a table.

For a gamer who wants to see, feel, and touch their product before purchasing this is a great store. The selection, especially for miniatures and dice is very strong.
This place was recommended by a friend who discovered it earlier this week. Though its been around for 12 years I live 30 minutes away and had never heard of it. The gaming space is huge and openly available (barring one of the many scheduled events). The manager seemed both knowledgable and friendly. My wife and I are trying out a new RPG and also looking for a very specific minature for a game we are currently playing. He was able to help us with both.
For us the highlight of the trip was the ‘wall o miniatures’ where they have every Reaper mini on display and organized to be easy to find. We also enjoyed the wall of dice. The room which holds gaming books had some nice finds but was a bit more sparse that I would have hoped based on the selection throughout the rest of the store.
I will definitely be back for minis and dice, which I prefer to see in person prior to purchasing, but may still purchase my books online at the much lower prices available there.

Pandemonium is THE best gaming store in the area and probably one of the best I’ve ever seen. I went to a few stores in the Nashville, TN/​Bowling Green, KY area and none of them can even compare to this store!
They have a huge selection of dice, figurines, card games, miniature games, and general crafting items. This store makes it so easy to get addicted to tabletop gaming!
Every time my husband and I go in, we are always warmly greeted and the service is just so nice. Like another reviewer mentioned, there are several large rooms in the building for tournaments and yes the parking can get crazy during them. If no tournaments are going on, it is free to go in and set up a gaming session with your friends AND you can use whatever extra buildings/​terrain they have in the room as long as it is respectfully used and returned when done.
I can’t say enough good things about this store! My DH and I go at least 3 times a month and every time we go we are just always amazed at what is in there. This store has gotten our business for the past 2 months since we discovered it and we’ll probably keep going back for more. This place is great!

Ah, game stores. Not video game stores. Role playing, card games, board games, miniatures, Warhammer, 40K, Confrontation, Reaper, the list goes on. Pandemonium’s gone through a change of ownership and several name changes in the past 10 years or so, but their commitment to gaming is as solid as a rock.
The overall selection at this place beats anything I’ve ever seen outside of a large convention. While they might not have the more obscure games (you can usually find those up the road), it’s the one stop shop for anything Reaper, Confrontation, Warhammer, 40K, or Magic related. They also have a good selection of other popular card games like Yugi-​Oh and Warcraft as well as L5R and Marvel Vs.
The size of their play space is huge. The building used to be the old Garden City Post Office before they moved to Ford Rd and they have events there virtually every night. Another plus is that they’re open until midnight every night except Sunday (open til 8PM).
Sometimes the parking can get bad on the weekends (don’t park in the Library lot or you’ll get towed!) but street parking is available. If I planned on doing some painting or working on terrain, I’d check to make sure that there won’t be a large event going on (like a PTQ, or other large tournament) so you’ll have space to setup. Also, since it’s a game store, there’s the gamer funk that you have to deal with from those that haven’t yet discovered the fine art of personal grooming that tend to frequent the play area.
— Wanted to update since they don’t really carry Confrontation anymore. A couple things left in the discount bin since Rackham switched to Ragnarok and plastics but still a great place to pick stuff up. I try to stop by whenever I’m in town.
