I am a Vendor at R U Game, HOWEVER, while I do have a business relationship with Benjamin and his staff, I have to speak to the amazing way they not only treat their vendors but how welcoming and warm they are to their customers and community.

On top of all that, they have an automatic mahjong table theyre more than happy to demo for people interested and will be providing lessons and opportunities to rent it for play! (I probably forgot a lot, but I've already fallen head over heels for this shop and...
Read moreThese folks are genuinely knowledgeable about almost all the games in their inventory. They are always helpful and we’ve been back multiple times just for the customer service. They have walked us through board games as well as made some pretty spot-on recommendations. They are honest when it comes to gameplay and will let you know if it’s a learn in 10 minutes or learn in an hour game. We’ve spent a good chunk of our board game collection money here and will keep coming back as long as we’re in the area. They consistently change inventory and can keep you updated if you’re waiting for a game to come into stock. They are truly an ideal small business and if you love board games, you’ve got to...
