The Philly Game Shop — Local services in Philadelphia

I’ve only been here once so I can’t give it less stars or more stars, but my first time coming here was odd. I felt bad that the person at the register seemed really stressed about organizing some sort of tournament. I bought two mtg packs then decided to get a third one last minute. I used a bit of slang in my haste, and the guy standing behind me on line who was partaking in the tournament disrespectfully mocked my language. It seems like he knew the cashier from previous times coming to the shop and he misgendered them. In instances like that, I felt like more staff should have been present to handle the tournament that was clearly stressful for the employee. As for the customer, that’s not really the shop’s fault or responsibility, but it really deterred me from going there afterwards because if this is the kind of person who is a regular, I don’t necessarily feel welcome or respected nor like they respect...

Absolutely love this place! 💕 They run a ton of events—D&D games all the time, plus a great mix of other TTRPGs—all at super reasonable prices. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just dipping your toes into the tabletop world, there’s always something fun going on. 🎉🃏🕹️

The board game library isn’t the biggest, but honestly, that’s not a big deal because the vibe here is awesome. The staff and owners are some of the friendliest people around—they actually care about their customers and their team, which makes a huge difference. You always feel welcome, and they go out of their way to help. 👍🏾

They had quite a selection of board games and card games. I will say, if you are a miniature gamer, it probably isn’t at the store for you as I didn’t see any miniatures other than maybe a dozen dungeons and dragons minis. They have a little private game room that looks really cool and would be fun to play in. The person working in the store was very nice And even allowed me to use the restroom, even though I didn’t buy anything. If I was local to Philadelphia, they should be detected I would...
