What a great place! I’ve driven past here several times but had never stopped in until recently. It’s a bit on the smaller side but they do still have a decent selection of games and they hold tournaments every weekend. The staff are friendly and helpful– good customer service is always appreciated! :-D Here’s the great part– The back part of the store has been set aside for people to come in and play games– for free! How cool is that! They have long tables perfect for setting up and playing all kinds of games. This one of my new favorite places in town. The Bad: There’s a parking lot behind the building with plenty of parking but it can be a bit tricky to find.

A very impressive store. Large play area, friendly staff, good singles prices(Magic) and I have yet to have them not have a single I was looking for(Magic). They consistently have tournaments in all formats and there are always people around to play with. Overall great store!

Great store! The staff is nice and approachable. They explain games in simple easy to understand ways and are able to find just about any card you could want for mtg. The pricing is fair and they give good value on trades. My boyfriend and I stopped by this place when we were planning on moving to tucson. The staff was so great on our first visit that we decided to make this store our home store when we moved to the area. They offer great tournaments and edh on Sundays for mtg players. They are the only store who offers Pokemon in Tucson, and while the atmosphere can be a bit intimidating at first everyone is really nice for the most part. There is no other store in the area that really works to be a safe space and inclusive of everyone. We continue to frequent it for that very reason.

My girlfriend and I moved to Tucson last August and we decided that AD was the store we would make our LGS. Since we started playing at AD we have been exposed to an array of competitive players, formats, and game types. We have tried unique board games, multiple TCG formats, and had our highs/lows. While we are never really in the top we are still treated well, for the most part, by everyone we play against. The staff is quick and attentive. Everyone is good at their job, friendly, and helps maintain a competitive/professional atmosphere. The new changes the store has made are great. New display cases, a bigger card bank, moving the TV, and expanding their selection were just the beginning of the changes they have made. The improvements to the table-top room are really nice. Making the room quieter and comfortable was a great move. The new hallway in the back is looking great, too! We play modern, standard constructed, limited, and commander mostly and we are able to do all of those at AD. They also do some great promotions ;)

I’ve taken my 12 yr old cousin here several times because he plays Pokemon TCG. The staff is always welcoming, knowledgable, and overall good feel to the store. He’s also participated in a few tournaments and they are run smoothly. It’s a specialty game store with a great selection of board games and other card games too. I had played a game at Maker’s House called Power Grid and the store was able to special order it for me. They also have a game library, so you can play games without buying them right away. One game I was considering buying was Ascension. It’s a deck building game and there were other people in the store that new how to play and wanted to help teach. Definitely a positive, welcoming environment for new gamers like myself and the advanced gamers alike. Very fun. Would definitely come back, even just to hang out. :)

3 stars is perfectly befitting. Nothing special, yet nothing to really complain about too badly. Their prices are comparable to any other store or internet venue. The place has inconvenient parking in the front, but more parking in the rear. Nice big open tournament /play area, lot’s of cards to choose from. When you are selling to them, they give you about half value, which everyone believes is fair I guess. I think you could make more selling on eBay, but if you need it right away I guess this is the only answer. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable, but the lines are long — and even when the lines aren’t long, there is still a hefty wait to get helped. This is due to the nature of the business — the help has to meander through collections of cards whether the customer is there to purchase or to sell, so this takes quite some time. So like I said, there is really nothing to rave about here — nor is there a reason not to go. It just exists.

Amazing Discoveries(«Amazing Disco» to its friends) is a great game store. They’ve embraced the idea that a local store can’t compete with Amazon and online retailers on price, but instead must become the center of a community. They have a large and generally comfortable play area(a few chairs are in bad condition, but that’s to be expected with the volume of people they host) and they host events frequently for card games, miniatures games, and other games. The staff are friendly and approachable — they have different areas of expertise, so the person you find may not always be able to answer your question, but they’ll definitely know who on the staff to ask. The big draw here is their events. They publish a reliable calendar of events on their website, so it’s very easy to answer the question that always comes up with games — «how do I find someone to play with?» Also making events better are the wall murals, the display of prints by a local fantasy artist, and the availability of water, soft drinks, and snacks. Some of their infrastructure could use a little investment — those chairs again! — but it’s almost always easy to find a place to play whatever you’ve come to play. Amazing Disco is a great example of the Friendly Local Game Store and I’m glad it’s here.

Great staff they will drop everything to help a customer. Good prices. You can always find a pick up game going on in the back. FMNALWAYS happens and mid week booster drafts if you cant make it on friday. Check out their twitter and face book for updates. They have also donated cards to the Palo Verde High School mtg club on several occasions. They feel more like a community hub, than just a store. They also purchase cards and you might be able to find someone in the back looking to trade. I should also add that While I don’t mind playing against kids I really like that I have a place to play with other adults.

Really neat store with a plethora of different card games and tabletop games to check out and play in the adjoining room where you’ll find nifty murals and games going on periodically. As an aficionado of collecting different cards and playing tabletop rpg’s i can see myself back here for their D&D beholder set and maybe to play a few draft MTG tournaments.

This store is not just a place for buying gaming materials and needs; it is also a very interactive hangout for gamers and artists. The front area includes every kind of Magic game and otherwise, and beyond that is a huge room where people gather to play against each other. There is amazing artwork on the walls from the people who game there. It seems like a nice safe and friendly hangout for people of all ages.
