About Us
We offer a family-friendly place to play your favorite games with friends both old and new.
Whether you're dropping in for a quick purchase, or to check out a new game in our library, we'll do everything we can to make your experience enjoyable. Planning an evening out with friends or family? Make a reservation and we'll make sure your table is ready when you arrive.
For miniatures players, we provide a wide variety of terrain pieces and battle mats, allowing you to tailor your gaming experience while you’re spending time in our shoppe. We have rules advisors and game experts available to help you learn new games, or answer rules questions along the way, and can provide loaner armies for you to experiment with new games or factions.
Our wargaming tables provide an 8ft by 4ft playing area, making them perfect for even the largest games. We can even drop inserts on top, allowing players to bridge two tables together for either 16ft x 4ft or 8ft by 8ft battlefield.
We also provide space for assembling, customizing, and painting the models you've purchased from us. Our hobby area includes hobby trays and painting palettes as well as a basic selection of paints, tools and brushes available for in-store us.
Of course, if you need something more specific, we offer a large selection of paints, tools and other modelings supplies for sale in our retail section.
For skirmish players, as well as our board game and card game enthusiasts, we have multiple restaurant-style rectangular tables for 2- and 4-player games, and four 8ft x 3ft tables for larger games.
Of course, all of our tables can accommodate a range of Role-Playing Games for you and your party. You're even welcome to use our wargaming terrain to help shape your adventure!
You can always drop in when the shoppe is open and grab an available table. If you have an event planned for a particular day, you can also use our online reservation system to pick a specific table and reserve it in advance. Tables may be reserved for a few hours or a full day, depending on your needs.
All of our board game and card game tables, as well as two of our full-sized wargaming tables are fully wheelchair accessible.
Our retail space features a huge selection of games, accessories, and supplies from distributors from around the world.
Our board games shelves are packed with the hottest games listed on BoardGameGeek, the newest releases, and niche titles both old and new. We have dedicated sections for Cooperative Games, Party Games, and Historical Games, and are constantly improving the organization of our massive board game selection to make it easier for you to discover new titles.
Our Miniatures area includes product from Games Workshop, Atomic Mass Games, and Fantasy Flight Games, as well as smaller publishers. We also stock a variety of bits and bases, and other hard to find modeling supplies.
We carry paint lines from Citadel, Army Painter, Duncan Rhodes' Two Thin Coats, Monument Hobbies, and Vallejo, and specialty products like Water Effects Kits and color changing paints from GreenStuffWorld.

Looking for game mats to flesh out your Role Playing or Miniatures gaming experience? We have themed mats in all the common sizes, including 3×3, 3×6, 4×4, and 4×6. We also offer a variety of wet-erase mats printed with hexes or squares, and a wide range of adventure tiles for just about any game system.
“While we try to stock everything our guests might be looking for, if you can't find something on our shelves, we're always happy to place a special order for you. For most orders, we don't require a deposit or payment, and can usually get the product to you in less than ten days.”
We also stock the hottest collectible games around, including Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, My Hero Academia, Pokémon, and others! Beyond the games themselves, we offer deck boxes, card folios, and sleeves from Dragon Shield, Ultra Pro, Ultimate Guard, and several other manufacturers.
Wondering how to get into one of these games? We offer Learn-To-Play sessions for many of our collectible games. Just check out our Reservation System to find a time that works best for you.
You can also find our weekly card game events on our shoppe calendar. We host weekly casual tournaments for both Magic: The Gathering and Flesh and Blood, and host prereleases and other special events for a variety of games.
Of course, no game shoppe would be complete without a selection of dice, so we stock dice sets from Chessex, Easy Roller, Q-Workshop, and Norse Foundry. We also stock specialty and loose dice from Koplow, Chessex, and other companies.
Additionally, we carry dice trays and cups from a variety of manufacturers, so you're sure to find the perfect accessory for your gaming table. We even offer made-to-order leather dice trays; just ask a Staffer for more details.
Beyond dice, we also offer a variety of token sets, as well as loose tokens and meeples – in wood, plastics, and metals.
Whether it's adding a new color to your Catan set, or finding the perfect size and color of cube to use in the a board game you're prototyping, we have imported a wide selection of board game bits from Germany to help you augment your gaming experience.
