The proprietor of Out of the Box is very knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to vaguely describe a game we had only heard of one time and the owner was able to correctly determine the game we wanted (Mage Knight) and had it in stock!

I'd recommend to check it out if you get a chance, it won't disappoint. It's not the cheapest place but it's not ridiculous, you just have to look at it as you are helping a local company and you don't have to wait for a delivery. Reminds me of going to a comic book store as a kid. Check it out, Grand Rapids and Holland locations as well. Holland is the smallest location, but still have a good selection. For the full experience,...
