Rooted Games — Local services in Richmond

I can't praise Matt enough for the shop and the environment he fosters at his store. Always welcoming and knowledgeable, he goes the extra distance to make sure his customers are taken care of in a market that is very tough with scalpers and scammers.

I was looking for a way to bond with my eight-year-old daughter while also helping her improve her reading skills and overcome dyslexia. I happened to stumble into this shop, and it has been one of the most amazing finds. Matt and the community he has allowed to grow have been incredible in helping this shy little girl not only get involved with Pokémon, but also drastically improve her reading and math skills.

He started off by giving us tour and then asked what kind of games we liked to play. He gave us a few options to try from his game library that we were able to choose from.
