The Broken Dice Guild — Local services in Prichard

Two stars is being generous. I was really excited to visit this shop seeing as there aren't a great variety of hobby shops in the Mobile area. I called beforehand and asked if they sell Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and the owner confirmed that they do. However, if you don't play tabletop games or MTG, you might as well completely avoid this place. I went inside and took my time looking through the shelves only to find a small selection of cards shoved in old dusty tins. Still I decided to look through them figuring I wasted my time driving out so I might as well buy something to support this small business. Finally I walk up to the register with my 15 or so cards I had decided on. I informed him that I sorted by rarity just to make it easier on him, and his reaction to this left me confused.

Either educate yourself on how TCG values work or just don't sell...

Really love the atmosphere of this place. There aren't a whole lot of options here in Mobile, but with this place there doesn't need to be. Friendly staff and plenty of room for all the gaming. Even a special room you can reserve. Will be making this a...
