If you're in Flagstaff and looking for an awesome local game shop, look no further than Geekery Games! I recently had the pleasure of visiting, and I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a super nice and incredibly helpful guy behind the counter. His friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made for a fantastic experience. It's always great to find a place where the staff genuinely enjoys what they do and is happy to help customers. Geekery Games boasts a fantastic selection for fans of trading card games. Whether you're a Planeswalker searching for your next Magic: The Gathering staple or a Trainer on the hunt for rare Pokémon cards, they've got you covered with a well-organized and diverse inventory. Beyond TCGs, they also cater to the role-playing crowd with a really nice selection of Dungeons & Dragons materials. From rulebooks to miniatures and accessories, you're likely to find something to enhance your next campaign. Overall, Geekery Games is a standout shop in Flagstaff. The combination of a welcoming atmosphere, helpful staff, and a great range of products for Magic, Pokémon, and D&D makes it a must-visit for any tabletop enthusiast. I highly recommend...
Read moreI have been in game stores all over the state for almost a decade. The Geekery is one of the two best atmosphere and card selections locations statewide. The cards are inexpensive (read tcgplayer low to market). They have a selection only matched or exceeded by three stores in the whole Phoenix metro area. Casual play is encouraged and tournaments are run in a timely fashion (again, better than most stores) without regard for regulars over anyone else (I have seen stores in Phx show much more favoritism in waiting for regulars to get started, for example). The store manager is excellent, honest, and helpful as are the staff. Snacks are underpriced. Competitors and tournaments are just that: competition. They are fair and I can always trust the people I play against there.
If someone has trouble here, then they brought it with them. I haven't ever seen any of the recent negative reviewers in the store ever. My kids aren't always the best behaved, and Geekery staff are more than patient with them.
If the Geekery has a problem, it's that the tables are always full of people having a good time and talking about nerd stuff. If that bothers you, then you probably aren't a real...
Read moreThe staff here are great. I've forgotten dice bags and boxes of Magic cards and all times my stuff was there behind the counter for me when I came back to check if someone found them. They are also knowledgeable about the games they sell. For the most part they are stocked with format staples, and I've never had to wait more than a week past when they put orders in (once weekly as far as I know) for a Warhammer model to come in.
As for tournament structures, their price payout is fair and John (the head judge there for Magic) rules on questions and disputes with a pedantic adherence to the rulebook, which is exactly what is needed in a judge.
I'm not sure where some other people who reviewed this are getting their snacks, but $0.50 for a Twinkie and $1 for a soda are better than...
