The Game Preserve — Local services in Indianapolis

Honestly every experience I’ve had here has been terrible. I recently moved to the north side of Indy and this was one of the trading card stores nearby. Firstly the workers have terrible attitudes and seem annoyed when you ask them to do anything. I went in once to write down a list and I didn’t see the text that said put in alphabetical order (the previous store I went to didn’t make me do that). when I handed it to the worker he sighed and put the order back on the table and said next time read and put it in alphabetical order. I apologized after his rude comment as it was a genuine mistake. Then I asked him to get me some sleeves and again just seemed really annoyed. I checked out and said thank you and he said nothing to me. I thought maybe he was just having a bad day but I recently called them and asked for them to look up a few cards for me and he huffed and said hold on let me go to the other room to do it which I thanked him for. I wanted him to look up 5 cards on the computer and after the 2nd he said uhh how many cards do you have and I said five total so just a few more and he said yeah we don’t look up more than a few. So I said you can’t just check a couple more and he said no we’re really busy right now.

Mind you this was a Tuesday afternoon…

Idk just every interaction here has been negative and if you can I’d go to any other store around here. GameTime in particular has been a fantastic store but this...

Fantasic game store. I went in there looking for Warhammer and wasn't disappointed. They had a decent selection of unique minis and even had commemorative releases. Their overall selection was pretty nice and they were fully stocked. They had a pretty wide variety of paints as well. They carry Pro Acryl, Citadel and Army Painter.

The gentleman behind the counter was nice. He let me put my selections on the counter while I continued to browse. I was also surprised when he let me know how much money I had in rewards and let me add an item to my purchase.

I also want to note that the location is very clean and well kept. I felt like I was in a nice Barnes & Noble. They should hook up with a coffee shop lol. Oh, I should also mention that they sell and have a decent selection of Warhammer books. I really widh I wasn't moving out of state soon because I'll...

I played in my first ever Magic: the Gathering prerelease tournament here September 30th. The Game Preserve vaulted to the top of my game store list for several reasons:

Communicative via email. Email is my favorite method of communication, and I was able to get a lot of questions answered that way. Thank you, Derek! Accommodating my children. I needed to bring my two kids with me to the event. They went out of their way to be accommodating, letting me know when entire tables would be open so my kids could easily sit with he, giving them welcome decks (they're over the moon about this), and generally just being welcoming. Clean store and play area. This is not always the case everywhere! Haha. Generally kind, welcoming, and organized.

Great experience. I'll be back for my MtG and other needs, for sure, though they're not my...
