| - A pretty laid back tabletop gaming store. My wife and I stopped by during a weekday when business was quiet, to look for a certain D&D board game. We found that the store has a lot of tables and open space for miniature games and Magic tournaments. Most of the inventory is at the front portion of the store -- a massive selection of board games, card games, and comic books. There is also a modest selection of inventory from Games Workshop, which is great considering there is no longer a Games Workshop operating in the area.
This store seems to bring in most of their revenue from Magic: The Gathering tournements and card sales. The front counter is basically a huge glass display of rare Magic cards that can be purchased individually.
The rest of the inventory seems to be marked up from what you could pay on Amazon. This includes pretty much all the board games, and some of the Games Workshop merchandise. While it would make more sense to just order a game on Amazon, I would personally pay the extra few dollars to support this locally owned business, and to potentially meet some other gamers to sit down and play with.
The staff was nice, they acknowledged our visit and made us feel comfortable to ask questions. There were also a couple guys playing a session of Warhammer 40k, which was nice to see considering they did not know eachother prior to the game. I'm not too social of a person, but I got the impression I could closely spectate and even play the next game if I had brought some figures.
Overall I had a good visit, and I'd like to return to buy something else and maybe talk about gaming with some other folks there.
