Update

Every time I come here I fall in love with the staff a little bit more. They are so kind they have ordered certain toys that my boys are very fond of. They also went out of their way to carry a product for me that I needed and put it on hold for me. They heard I really like the labyrinth and they got in labyrinth products. I ended up getting a labyrinth game. I also really enjoy hocus pocus and they've got some hocus pocus games in now too.

The people here really do go above and beyond to try and please everyone.

Even though mask are optional the store is so big and there is so many goodies tossed around you really don't have to worry about coming in & interacting with others if you don't want to because of covid fears.

How ever the area in the far back of the store is avery popular place to hang out. They hold special events at this shop and they are vary Nerdy 🤓 just kidding 😂, but They do get populated fast. I've only met kind of sweet people here that includes that includes the patrons that come here as well as the staff.

The lighting is bright but not to the degree that it hurts your eyes. The environment is cozy and enjoyable because of the people 😊.

I love this place technically it's a family Own business but it's actually run by friends. I love that these 4 friends pulled their money together and got themselves this wonderful shop. All of them are very respectful and kind. There is a sweet little girl that comes in all the time with her mom and they treat her and she mother like family 💝. That something that a Idolize about this place they make you feel at home 🏡 . Sometimes if the place is not crazy with customers they with toy's with the young child.

They have a vast amount of dordgames You could acquire. They have car games like pokemon, magic & a new game that came out 3 months ago but is new to the store.

They have lot's of adorable squishy and finger poppets. The squishy toy's are helpful for kids that like to touch every thing. I give it to my two children with autism and ADHD and it helps calm them down when they are upset 😡 + squishy toy's = 😌

This building has a open floor plan by that I mean you can see 👀 most of the place from out side and walk 🚶‍♀️ around easily in the store. You don't need to worry about accidentally knocking something over.

The place is clean and small's fine. Cute stuffed toy's are displayed all throughout the store. I love the price's here's I feel like they make sure to keep the cost of ther merchandise low and for that I...

Great place! I was searching for a pack of Ultimate Guard Katana sleeves, Dragon Shield Mattes, and KMC Perfect Hard inner sleeves. Called up Nerdy Needs and spoke to Greg, he was awesome! Very helpful, courteous, and even offered to pull the sleeves I wanted to hold them for me till I hot there since they were low on a few colors of Katanas. They had them all! They also have a bunch of MTG singles as well! I'm sure they probably had other singles but I'm an MTG player do I didn't pay much attention to other TCG games.

Store is set up nicely, plenty of room in the back to bring some friends for games, and a nice inviting atmosphere means I will definitely be coming back!

The woman who rang me out was a sweetheart as well! Sorry I didn't get your name! She told me if there is anything they didn't have to let her know and they will see if they can get it in. This is how an LGS should be!

My only real gripe was that they didn't seem to have a lot of "fancy" deck boxes. I will be calling them this afternoon to see if they can get Gamegenics boxes in stock, as I have my heart set on those but would rather support Nerdy Needs rather than buying on Amazon. Will update this review when I get an answer.

Give this place a shot! You won't be disappointed!

EDIT: As you can see below, the owner responded to my inquiry already, on the same day. I didn't even get a chance to call them yet and they are already on top of it! That's...

Wow. Impressed is all I can say. It's been a while since we have been in a good quality game store. The selection is great,. From classics like Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne and Catan to Succulent, Kohaku, Gods love Dinosaur and The Game. A fantastic collection with many games I have only seen on Kickstarter before. They have a large selection of Pokemon Cards, Magic the Gathering and others. They had a wide assortment of playmats for Boardgames and Trading Card Games. They easily had 100's of games on some well orginized shelves with a lot of games having multiple copies. This is our new go to store in florida. Would gladly visit this over Cool Stuff Games any day. We live in Orlando and will be making the drive back. We were also stopped by three or four different employees and asked if we were able to locate everything well and if we needed any help. The staff was very friendly and inviting. You could over hear some staff talking and they seemed knowledgeable of the products. The lady at the front cashier counter was extremely polite and friendly as well. Thank you guys for being an amazing Friendly Local Game Store....
