Eternal Games — Attraction in Warren

I just got into the area in April and was interested in checking a different local gaming store that is pretty popular. Then my cousin told me that Eternal Games was right across the street. I had no idea they were right there because the sign is hard to see. I still never checked out the original game store I had in mind because Eternal Games has the kind of gaming community I was hoping to find. The first time I walked in, I was greeted by both of the people behind the counter and they answered my questions about open gaming. I returned a couple more times to look around. I even brought my son with me on one of the visits because he's big into D&D and they have a nice selection of materials. When I had a question that time, the man working at the counter was doing a trade-in for some MTG cards for another customer and saw me waiting. He took my quick question as to not keep me waiting too long. I appreciated that. Since then, I've been in several more times and participated in some open gaming. The community was very welcoming to me even though I was a complete stranger. I asked one group if I could watch their game and they invited me to play. I returned and played more with them and every single person I've met there has been very friendly. I was looking for a great gaming community to be a part of and Eternal Games has provided that for...

Please do not buy Pokemon cards from this store. I've read the comments and the replys by the owner. They are not selling them at MSRP. They are selling them at scalper prices and trying to make a huge profit. If their distributor is selling them the cards for over msrp then the owner should talk to them about it or decline the product. $300 for an item that is $100 MSRP is insane and horrible. There is no place else, beside ebay where they are selling Pokemon cards at these prices. You're supposed to be to a part of the community not against it. Fix the problem, don't be apart of it!

Reposnes to owner: you are right distributors sell to you for "net" you should sell for "msrp". I've worked in retail and re-sale of goods. Small mom and pop places, and we never got gouged by or distributors or given different prices because we are buying less then other places, so maybe you need to find a new distributor if that's the case. Like I said you can decline the product and ask for better pricing, instead you except and try to make the collectors and player pay the price. Fix the problem, don't be...

Went into this store a couple times post-Covid reopening. The store doesn't play around about hygiene and mask wearing - but in a good way. Complimentary hand sanitizer is provided upon entry and a 4 second temperature check follows. They were nothing but polite about all of it on each of my visits.

"Hey dude, I'm sorry but we need to take your temperature real quick."

"Oh, sure! No biggie!"

"Also, please don't take your mask off while in the store."

"You got it!"

That was it. That was the whole interaction.

I'd rather give my money to people who are safe and following the law than someone who skirts it and risks getting shut down by the health department or, God forbid, causes a local outbreak.

I got into painting miniatures during the Covid lockdown and EG has a solid stock of Citadel paints and brushes, along with a decent selection of Warhammer Miniatures and a huge selection of D&D minis. I'm making a list of board games to grab as well during my next visit in case of a second-wave lockdown in the fall. Prices are average to competitive, depending on what you're...
