  I checked out this local game store over the weekend and had a pretty decent experience. The place isn’t huge, but they’ve got a solid mix of board games, trading cards, and video game stuff. I was mainly looking for some retro titles and they actually had a few I haven’t seen in a while. Prices seemed fair compared to what I’ve seen online. The guy behind the counter was easy to talk to and didn’t hover, which I appreciate. It did take a minute to find what I needed since things are kinda packed in there, but overall I left satisfied and would probably come back again.

  I have been going to this game store for a long time now. I have bought a few cards from their showcase since I rarely buy sealed box's or pack's for trading card games. I mostly buy online and I am happy to say their prices are reasonable. Today I went to the game store to play some Warhammer with my friend and though they did not have enough tablespace in the normal play area due to an event they were able to setup a folding table elsewhere in the store for us. I also managed to buy some good condition used models for very good prices. They are put together already (hence being used) and wer

  Went in with a couple coworkers to check out their warhammer and painting supplies- was VERY surprised by all they had. A big selection of board games and from what it looks like various card games- but the warhammer selection alone was better than an actual warhammer store in some ways. Carries a lot of items that normally are out of stock or just not carried in person, alongside a good selection of 'pre owned' miniatures at a great price. Staff were friendly and helpful!

  11/03/2025 👎DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. i was told over the phone they were interested in buying my Magic Sonic Card set. i drove 30 mins one way to the store, wait 15 minutes for the manager to inspect them, then he comes out to say “sir i’m gonna pass on these they just are too dirty to be sold”.. i say “well they have never been used and are brand new” he replies “oh no they have Definitely been used n very dirty, and i have some that aren’t selling “ …. 1. im a brand new customer, and you gave me zero alternatives as well as disrespected & under minded me . 2. if your products aren’t selling, j

  Great selection. Some things are surprisingly cheaper than other game stores around SE Michigan, but some other things were a bit more expensive. The environment for the Spiderman MtG prerelease was banger. Some people did stink, so that stereotype, sadly, does ring true. Great experience.

  Great place with some incredibly helpful and friendly staff! I took my girlfriend to a learn to play event and we each got some cool and fun Spider-Man starter decks, along with help from store employees. Kayla was an awesome host and helped us complete our first magic game! We even got a promo card for playing in a WOTC sanctioned event! I forgot to mention that all of this was put on for free! Great event, cool store, and loads of people to play with.

  THEY BUY BULK POKEMON! All the irresponsible rippers rejoice! I asked very plainly what they paid for bulk, and they told me. Their offer was within a few bucks of what I was hoping to get for it, and the store credit offer was also very reasonable. My son and me also shop here, and he’s come to kids Pokémon on Saturday mornings. This is a great place! Highly recommended!

  Absolutely ridiculous. Don’t even bother going here. After explaining that their listed price for PSA 10 Glaceon and Sylveon VMax are incorrect, their employee and I got it sorted out to $950 in value for the 2 cards. $440 for glaceon and $550 for Sylveon at the time of day (check images for comps) Proceeded to confirm with the manager if that’s the case but lo and behold I get hit with the counter offer of $1200 for both the cards. Glaceon at $550 and Sylveon at $650. The glaceon and Sylveon were $200 more in their eyes for some reason. Never have I been to a more money hungry card shop, 1
