Games 4 Life — Local services in Lake Orion

Nice place! It's still growing, so has some updates to be made. Make sure you look for the sign by the road.

I met Jon, the owner, through a mutual friend, and have been impressed by his passion for the community and the games themselves. This store and its business is definitely a labor of love, as it isn't a profitable business to be in.

The store community hasn't gotten into miniatures a whole lot yet, but are working on building up some terrain and gaming tables for warhammer 40k and other miniature games. I look forward to helping start some campaigns or help run small tournaments. Having been open only a few months, it is still building its community as a whole.

The weekly role-playing games look well attended, and he has a lot of product in stock. Prices are fair, what you expect from FLGS, but a great variety including an entire WALL of board games. He also has X Wing, Armada, Imperial Assault, miniatures, a decent warhammer stock (a lot of the new stuff and some hard to find box sets like Knights Renegade), Dnd stuff including the unpainted series, and a bunch of card games and painting supplies.

I picked up some Games Workshop and Army Builder paints that were reasonable and convenient. Had a chance to play my new Chaos Knight for the first time too. Hits like a truck, goes down like a sack of bricks.

Lots of space for games, board games, and role-playing games. Coffee shop and restaurants in the same parking lot for quick snacks, meals,...

This place racially profiles. It’s 2023 and that’s totally unacceptable. What a nice way to treat people who wanted to spend their hard earned money in this establishment. Then to allow ONLY another customer to apologize to the person instead of the actual employee who did it. Or any employee for that matter. Someone who represents that place should have been the one to apologize. Sad when a bipoc person can’t even do much as ask their partner what exactly the info was for what they were looking for and PUT THEIR PHONE IN THEIR POCKET!! Mind you these Jean shorts were so tight they would’ve been lucky to fit a prayer in there let alone a slim phone that was CLEARLY visible through the material. As a matter of fact the Jean shirts were so tight I could tell you they also has a few bills 2 quarters 3 nickels and what was either 3 dimes or 3 pennies not sure, either way don’t waste your money in a place that racially profiles HONEST HARD WORKING people who simply came into to spend money if they had what they were looking for. If I could give no stars I would. Man what a trip. Makes me not ever want to go back to this town. What a poor representation of the town as a tourist it’s definitely not a...

Jon at Games 4 Life is one of the nicest owners I’ve ever done business with. I bought a couple Pokémon items from him that are going for $140 each on secondary market, yet Jon still put them on his shelf at retail, which was $50 each (normal mark-up).

I am extremely thankful that Games 4 Life is willing to sell highly sought after items at retail, instead of price gouging like a lot of other game stores out there. Me and my little brother were very appreciative as we honestly didn’t think we would ever get the chance to buy those Pokémon boxes, with scalpers selling them for 3-4 times their retail price. Please give Games 4 Life your business if you ever...
