    Never knew this place existed and now that I do, all I can do is think of going back. I think this is a perfect model for the current day comic games and collectible shops I have been to many and few have reached let alone achieved the standard set by shops like Atomic Empire. They had appropriate space for everything and plenty of space for everything else. I will be back every opportunity I get.

    If you are looking for a place that can answer literally any question on the planet related to gaming, hobbies, or tabletop life in general, stop scrolling. Atomic Empire is it. I walked in and immediately witnessed Josh behind the counter deliver what can only be described as a masterclass in rapid-fire gaming knowledge. I am pretty sure he answered about 42 questions in a row for another customer without pausing to breathe, blink, or consult the internet. It was a nonstop barrage of rules clarifications, recommendations, expansions, alternatives, and “if you like that, you might also like t

    One of the deepest collections of board games I’ve ever seen at a board game shop. Staff is super helpful as well and is willing to order anything they don’t. I come here every time I’m in the area.

    Atomic Empire is great! I use them for my comics, and im very happy with the online user interface. I can only speak for online subscribers. This website by Atomic is the best and they give me weekly reminders of cover selection closing times so I can order variants. I've contacted them through email and the customer service is phenomenal. Steve is the main contact there and he just went above and beyond in explaining things to a rather new comic collector like myself. As far as condition and shipping, every book looks NM+ brand new unread. The packaging is great too, never had a problem with

    Fantastic customer service, even after being buried under nearly a foot of snow. My order to CT arrived a day early. Ordered on Friday 2/6 and I had it in hand on Monday! Will buy from them again.

    I have frequented this store for a few years. It has a great selection of board games along with a variety of other comics, toys, novelties, etc. It also has a solid community to attend events and hosts a variety of tournaments and gameplay days for different games. Definitely worth a visit if you are into nerdy things.

    This is a spacious local game store that caters to a lot of different hobbies. I come here to play Pokemon TCG, and they have great participation at this store. I've made a few friends here. With all of the Pokemon shenanigans in the past year, they've been a beacon in providing fair pricing for their community. The staff have always been kind and responsive in my experience. My only wish is that the bathrooms were maintained a bit better. There is almost always pee on the seats which is obviously gross :(
