Grey Duck Games & Toys — Attraction in Maple Grove

Nice store and good location, but the execution of today's M19 prerelease felt poor. Staff are mostly pleasant, but the judge seemed more focused on participating in the event himself than facilitating it. He did not even introduce himself, we just figured that he was the judge. There were no instructions for new players in the beginning, and no debrief after the last round. It just didn't really feel like an event. I brought my sister to her first prerelease event and we were very glad to meet nice local players, but our experience at the store left much to be desired. The other toys and games are nice, but its not a good environment to actually play Magic. The selection of Magic singles is also rather limited, and appears to be poorly managed.

Had an awesome experience! My family were enjoying all the mall has to offer and lost track of time.

Prices are just a hair higher than I would like, but considering it is local I’m fine with it, ended up getting one board game for $50, 5 small puzzles for $3 each, and a murder mystery game for $25 before tax. So not terrible at all.

Overall it’s a huge selection of board games, kids toys, puzzles, and more. Absolutely worth stopping in and checking out if you’re ever in the area.

I spent about 1 hour in here with my partner, I’d say if you’re going on your own, and are like me and like board games but don’t always have time to play them, expect to spend 20-30...
