I’m not from the area, but I stopped by for an impromptu trip and was immediately greeted by Pat, the shop owner while he was hosting a gaming event. I was welcomed like one of his own family, quickly learning stories about his kids and family.
My wife and I have been collecting board games over the last 15 years or so and we always like to check out the local game store communities to see what new games are on the horizon.
Pat is one of the most impressive store owners and operators I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He made some great recommendations and had an enormous wealth of knowledge about the industry and passion for his community, but so much more important than that, he shared a little bit of his personal love story about his wife, Susan, and her battle with dementia. I won’t divulge the details in this review, but PLEASE stop in to see how incredible this store is, and say hi to Pat. I’m sure you will walk away feeling a personal connection like I did. What a great story and an amazing guy!
I will carry the memory of this experience and Pat’s story with me for a long long time.
Best wishes Pat, keep doing what you’re doing!
P.S. We are loving your recommendation for...
Read moreWent here a few times for MTG drafts.... Way too over priced for one. Had expected to draft war of the spark, did modern horizons instead more money but OK. It was $36 as other places where $30 with prize support. That was not such a big deal to me, I went to TRY and have fun. I didn't know the set well, and some of the other players did, didn't get any good cards, plus had no help with building it (other people did). Then I got paired up with someone who was undefeated at the time... The guy working there was nice, but overall every time I draft here I have had a very negative experience....I won't be drafting here ever again. I'm sorry it's just NOT worth it. And it's also NOT fun either... PS I really don't even care about the extra $6 as much as it being a...
Read moreAmazing customer service! The first time we walked in, the owner Pat introduced himself, took the time to get to know us, showed us around the store, and made us feel right at home. The entire staff is super friendly. They helped us pick out games that were right for us, ordered things for us if they didn't have it in stock, let us make an exchange when we accidentally grabbed the expansion pack instead of the core game, took the time to teach us how to play a few games, and even sat down and played with us. Despite knowing that we wouldn't be in town for long, Jeff was so kind as to show us the ropes to Dungeons & Dragons and set up a super fun little adventure for us. We're going to really miss these guys when...
