Wanted to take a minute to leave a review of Myrtle Beach Games after attending our first tournament yesterday.
We just found this place last week when looking for local MTG stores and stopped by for a visit. Spoke to a couple of gentleman who informed us about a tournament that was happening the next Saturday. I have just gotten my 14 y.o. son into Magic and we thought we'd give it a try.
I can't speak highly enough of our experience. I was along as a spectator to watch my son play and being his first time he was a little nervous. But everyone there was tremendously kind and were more than willing to lend a helping hand to him. From the folks that work there to all the players, I could not have asked for a better introductory experience for my boy.
There was a large Pokemon tournament going on at the same time and everyone that was in that were having a blast as well. As a somewhat overly protective parent I can honestly say I would have no qualms dropping my kids off here for a tournament and would feel 100% sure they'd be safe and sound.
As far as the store itself it has a pretty large match play area which is great, there were two different tournaments happening and still plenty of room. The store is stocked with every game under the sun (I was actually amazed so many even existed), comics, collectible figures, game supplies etc...
They even have snacks and sodas that are available to buy here if you're going to be there for the day.
We met one of the owners when we had stopped in earlier in the week and then found out that the first gentleman my son played in the tournament was another one of the owners. Both of them were great guys and the one my son first played was extremely patient and helpful to him during his first ever match.
I was extremely impressed with the whole outfit and the environment that you can tell hard they work to create. I can say with 1000% certainty that we will be going back and will be customers from...
Read moreCame by on my vacation as I’m an avid gamer so I came to check out the magic and Heroclix on 03/04/21. Heroclix selection was very small with only 1 booster set and the newest 2 starters. When I asked about magic cards I was told I would have to use the website to make an order by the person checking me out who I had to ask to help me as they were on a laptop obviously playing Magic Arena. I went and made my order and looked up to see if they had stock of some standard staples I had. I asked the person who checked me out now back on his laptop about my order and possibly trading in some things for credit. Order was ignored until someone else was behind the counter to help me and when they got my order about 15 minutes later of 5 items I ask about the trades I had and was informed they didn’t need any of the cards I had to trade in despite them being out of stock on their website. Employees seemed more interested in their own games or interests than helping customers and there was no way to tell who was an employee and who was just gaming. Store was also dirty with food in the floor nobody was trying to clean up wrappers and fries in the floor and I bought some packs while there and trying to be courteous ask where a trash can is and the employees say that the trash is full and just take my trash from me. Overall the store while large and players seemed to be enjoying themselves was disorganized and dirty and the employees are distracted and unwelcoming. The store had some digimon packs I thought about getting but after a second poor interaction with a different employee I decided to just leave and take my business elsewhere. I will not be coming back...
Read morei’m not usually a big review person and i am a bit late in writing this but i had such a great experience here that i felt like i had to leave a review so other people will be more incline to enjoy this store. i was there on august 1st, 2023 to tag along to watch my cousin compete in a smash bros tournament. i had been nervous and rather miserable my whole trip but as soon as i walked in and saw the store and their selection, i no longer cared about my cousin’s tournament or anything else; i was in my own little world. they have an amazing selection of games that i probably never would have known about otherwise as well as plenty of expansions and figures and all sorts of nerdy stuff. josh helped me out and answered all of my silly questions and gave me recommendations. i felt bad bothering him but he didn’t seem annoyed at all, just eager to help. the community they’ve built also touched my heart. i was nervous because i’ve heard of game stores not always being the most welcoming to outsiders, especially women/fem presenting people, but i talked to several regulars and they were all so nice and willing to teach me about the games they were playing and include me in their jokes and conversation. nobody seemed to care that i was a tourist or that i was visibly stimming. i felt at home and welcomed there and made me wish i lived nearby so i could be a part of the fun. so it just solidified that this is somewhere i need to go every time in myrtle. thank you to josh and all of the regulars and everybody who helped foster such an amazing store and environment — your kindness and its effect on me can’t...
