We came to this shop while touring all the shops on the west side of the river. They were the…read morefriendlies and had a nice selection of merchandise. Several 3D printed merch and everything you needed to get started and moderate-level players. Three game tables and a nice schedule for various game play. My nephew used to live in this area and wished they had been there when he was. I have to say they were very friendly and took the time to talk to us and invite us back. Which we would if we were still local. Prices range from low (intro) to moderate. I wish I could visit here and play in some of their hosted games. Not the fanciest, but I could feel at home here. Bought a few things.

Walked in here on a whim because I've driven past numerous times and loved the idea of having a…read morelocal game shop. Yeah, hard pass on this one. I'm not even sure who the employees were or if anyone acknowledged us. There was a group of young gentleman playing computer games on one side of the room. This place is so dirty and cramped. The back of the "store" is literally riddled with garbage. It's dark and not much space to move around. Game selection is small and prices aren't terribly great. No real reason to ever go here...unless you know someone. But even then I would opt to hang out in someone's basement. It would be nicer.

Kind of gave off the vibe of an REI for kiddos, haha. Way better to get kids into going outside to play than always staring at a screen. =)

The staff members were friendly, professional, and somewhat knowledgeable about Magic the Gathering (MTG) and Lorcana.

They also have some collectibles and plushies. Toward the back they have a small selection of board games. They have space in the back with tables and chairs for meet-ups and gaming nights. Also to support this they have snacks and beverages for sale at a reasonable price. I was greeted by the employee when I entered, and he kindly asked if I was looking for anything and to let him know if I needed any help. I appreciated his acknowledgement, yet hands-off-ness since I was just there to do a little light browsing to get a feel for what was there. (I did almost buy my husband a mug for the upcoming holidays, as it was Critical Role themed and he's a fan of that series.) You could definitely find gifts for friends here. Dreamers also offers all military/vets/first responders a 10% discount daily, if you happen to fall into any of those categories.

They have a large selection of back issues and new releases. If you are looking for graphic novels instead don't worry they've probably got what you are looking for. I do wish they had more $1 books and more expensive wall books, but overall a good amount of inventory to browse through. They also have Funko Pops, Board Games, Magic the Gathering, and other TCGs. This was a very welcoming space and the guy at the counter helped me out with a few questions I had. We will be back!

I choose my game shops largely based on interactions with the staff. They can make or break your experience. Mikey was incredibly inviting and upbeat - definitely made us want to come back! O - Opportunity to meet other people that love to game. Rockhopper drew a pretty decent crowd for being open such a short time. Can't wait to see it on a busy day. C - Commander nights on Saturdays and Tuesdays starting at 4pm. Most places start later and make it tough to work into your schedule. This is a huge win for me. K - Knowledge. There is nothing worse than a game store owner that knows nothing about games. Mikey had all the information pertaining to games, sets, scheduling, and his clientele. He's a real one. H - Hangover commander. Yes. Sundays are the day for hangover commander, D&D, and whatever else people are feeling like after a rough Saturday night. We love to see it. O - Open to everyone. As they should be. Happy Pride Month! P - Penguin theme. Self explanatory. P - Pretty good selection of comics, singles, board games, and other various game related items. E - Environment. The location and the vibe were very cool to us. It's nice to have a gaming location outside of the cities that is doing everything right! R - Raffles. Always fun. To conclude: we were pumped to find this spot. I'm curious to see how they'll handle busy times as it's a bit on the smaller side - but I imagine they'll have it all figured out. If I can order singles to this store - it's game over. Go check it out!
