Athoria Games Tempe — Local services in Tempe

So, after coming here for a few months I wanted to give a very in-depth review of this location. This place is awesome. They carry all sorts of games, tons of gaming supplies, paints, characters, dice, cards, Pokémon, and magic. They have plenty of other card games, unfortunately, cards are not my scene. What has kept me coming to this place (besides them having and or getting what I need) is the staff. The manager and the counter staff are amazing. I have learned so much from the vast knowledge that they contain. I value their opinions and recommendations. I feel extremely comfortable saying that they have my best interests in mind and are not just chasing my money. When I need to get away from real life I come to the shop and play a game using their amazing tables and terrain set ups. Sometimes I go just to have some knowledgeable and nice people to talk to. If you havnt visited do so. You will recieve some of the finest customer...

This is the worst table top gaming store in the valley. Terrible selection of products. If you want to trade-in they'll give you less than 40%. If you want singles they don't have any, and what they do have on the shelf they sell online without taking it off the shelf, so when you see something you like you can't have it. All of there sealed product is 10%-20% mark-up across all CCG's and table top figures. They mark up product before it even releases because they are greedy and all they want is your money. If you want community they treat you worse than Wal-Mart. The very small number of regular players would be better off seasoning their hard earned money at other LGS locations. Dave is one of the rudest people I've ever had the displeasure of doing business with and I'd never recommend this shop to anyone. You can smell the WOKE when you walk...

Great and friendly staff! Our first time coming to this shop today and my autistic 8 year old was very excited to get some Pokemon cards for being brave and getting blood work done. The man behind the counter was so patient and kind to us and especially to my son. My son didn’t know what he wanted but the man was very friendly and I appreciated that he spoke directly to my son, as most the time people don’t acknowledge him and I have to speak for him, but the man spoke gently and made eye contact with him even though my son wasn’t initially making any eye contact. I will come back a million times over just because of the way he was to us, it really meant a lot! Thank you...
