| - I grew up on classic board games like monopoly, clue, and candyland, and only in the last 5 years or so have I been venturing out to the less traditional-but-extremely popular games like munchkins, magic, and Puerto Rico.
Based on their selection, this is not the place to go if you're looking for a run of the mill game, (although they had a decent variety of the classic games for all ages).
However, if you're like me and you want to try something more unique than Risk, and you don't know where to begin... Gamekeeper is the place to go. Staff are very knowledgeable about board games and card games, and their knowledge is leaps and bounds above any staff member I've ever encountered at a game shop in a shopping mall. (No teenagers working here only for the paychecks, that's for sure!)
In response to the other reviewer who didn't receive a "hello" when she entered - we did get a quick greeting, but we weren't followed around/harassed while we perused. But as someone who is a little socially awkward, I can appreciate that the absence of "more" doesn't mean the staff are not friendly or helpful. In fact, quite the opposite -- staff were generous with their time and very helpful when we finally asked a few questions.
Will be definitely going back here if and when we need advice on the next game to add to our growing game collection!
