MYTHIC GAMES Monterey — Local services in Monterey

I am changing my original review from 3 stars to 1 star, as I have had more unpleasant experiences. I really tried to give this place a chance, but it is either not run in an organized manner, or they don't want peoples business.

My first experience was when I took a night off of night work to participate in a draft (which would have been my first in 15 years), which they have listed on their website as occurring at 6pm. I arrived and asked about the draft, an enployee chuckled and said they rarely have enough people to participate. I understand that isn't their fault, but it would be nice for them to make that clear on their website calendar.

The next time I headed over to buy some stuff, and got there about 30 minutes before their listed closing time. The placed was closed! Okay.... strike 2.

Tonight, after checking their website, showed that they were open until 10pm. I arrived a 6pm. They were closed and had different hours posted on their door than on their website (both google listings and their actual website show the same hours as being open on Tuesdays.)

Honestly, there is no excuse to not update online the hours you are open. It reflects on a failing business. I didn't want to have to buy my cards online, but that is what I am realizing I have to do....

The premier tabletop gaming spot here in Monterey. The primary gaming groups are MtG on Thursdays and Fridays, Warhammer 40k on Sundays.

There is ample table space for playing MtG out front, and tabletop wargames in the back. Cards are bought and sold, primarily MtG but they sell Pokémon sets too.

For tabletop hobbt gear, they sell the full Citadel and Army Painter paint selections, plus accessories, so you can find all the basics you'd need to get started with tabletop wargaming here.

They have a small selection of INFINITY, a solid selection of continuously restocking WARHAMMER 40k, and a small bit of BATTLETECH in stock primarily.

They sell a few board games, and a nice selection of DnD module books.

Parking is limited in front of the store. Avoid parking in front of the business next door, those folks spend more time staring at their precious private lot than actually working. Instead, just find street parking in the area and walk, everything is very accessible in this part of Monterey.

There's a lot of reasons why this store has survived this long, and it's simply because they're excellent at what they do. Owner and staff are pillars of the local gaming community and thus understand what...

Hmm. It is difficult to review your local game store, especially since I've known some of these people all my life. So this review is slightly biased, but also all those little things that end up bugging you when you show up every week.

Their board game collection could be better, but it's not terrible and there is a good collection of games you can just play in store. Dice rating : A Magic ... they have so many magic cards. Not just current sets, but the awesome old sets. They have different events each day of the week, mostly magic, but there are many game groups that play there.

They finally opened up their Wi-Fi, and there is a storage service for people to store minis and books. It also gives a small discount on magic events, but I try very hard to resist magic. (The membership club is overpriced I'd say)

All in all, people come from Salinas. It has a limited selection of game books, I would love to see some more obscure RPGs. And importantly, as a girl I feel comfortable there. They won't look...
