    The Fun Factory is the best trading card retailer in the area and has an entire wall of "gamer"…read moretype board games (think Catan, Ticket to Ride, not Monopoly or Scrabble). There's a small but adequate selection of D&D products and dice as well. I would call ahead if you're looking for something specific. Trading cards are where this shop really shines. Lee, the new owner of about three years, makes big efforts to make sure his inventory is as robust as possible. This is primarily a Magic: the Gathering spot, but The Fun Factory also carries Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon, Star Wars and Flesh and Blood sealed product. Singles are overwhelmingly Magic, but there is inventory of most of these other products, as well. For Magic players, there are gameplay events four or more days a week, with Commander gameplay on Tuesdays (casual), Thursdays (Commander Night), as well as FNM and Saturday events. Lee is currently (beginning of 2026) overhauling events to expand options for players. Prices are fair. On par or better than one typically finds at a local game store for both buying and selling. Sealed product is around market rates. Some other, older reviews have indicated that The Fun Factory has higher prices than online retailers, but that's only true to a degree. It isn't really reasonable to expect a small business to match bottom dollar online retailers. Secondly, there's something to be said for being able to hold a card in your hand and inspect it prior to buying, and not having to pay shipping or worrying about your purchase being "lost" in the mail like an online seller. Some of the customers have the sort of hygiene problems that one might expect at a tabletop store, so it can be a little funky during busy events. The store is clean and regular upkeep is done. This is a well-run business, especially among small hobby stores, where it is close to the ceiling of expectations. Reviewer is a regular, longtime customer of the business and perceives that The Fun Factory continues to change for the better, and is particularly improved over the past few years.

Content, also with the creepy stares you get from the main guys in the store when you walk in, and with the musty air you smell when you walk into the store then the "fun factory" is for you.

Found this store while browsing for souvenirs with the wife in Mackinaw City last week. I saw the sign and couldn't resist the urge to walk inside. There is a life size Dr. Who Tardis in the rear of the store, right by the cash registers. Are you kidding me? And you can walk inside of it, too? I'm there! You can't hog it, though, because there was a warning on it to not waste time standing in the Tardis because let's be honest, everyone deserves a moment alone in the Tardis. Don't be selfish, kids. You can't take merchandise in the Tardis, either, nor can you jump around much. Sorry, it didn't seem to have been made for that kind of activity. If it was Dr. Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, D & D, super hero, or any other Sci-Fi related merchandise, this store had it in spades. Whether it was limited edition or popular, toys for kids or adults that just act like a kid were here. It was collectible city in here. It was a small store that had more merchandise in it than most of the souvenir shops I came across. I was a kid in a candy store. More than anything, it was a place to find the latest and most sought after in Dr. Who and Star Wars collectibles I browsed through everything for awhile, finally bought a few things, but it took some time before the guy around to waiting on me, but me did acknowledge me and asked for my patience. He was helping other customers who wanted things that were up high on the shelves and not accessible without some assistance or a ladder. It was crowded and I see why. If you are a kid or just a kid at heart, it's a neat place to look around. Tourist area prices, but the store was really different, so it was mostly worth it. I think I'd like a second look at what they had. I wanted to buy more, but my wife was impatient, so I only grabbed two small gifts and left. It was a fun little store. It was nice to see something like this after looking at the same $18 t-shirt and $23 sweatshirt all day. I nearly forgot where I was for a hot minute. There is a $5 minimum for all credit card purchases, which seems silly and unnecessary because everything is over $5.

I like the founding owner (retired community college instructor, although he is quick to make intrusive remarks) and the store is always interesting, except that their current store policy on masking up is against my policy of "minding your own business buddy." I am vaccinated and don't need little brother telling me what to do as far as my personal life goes. Dick (the founding owner) is knowledgeable, but certainly not the end all of celestial information, (and most certainly not in the field of biochemistry , physics, nor medicine) and Amazon had the binoculars that I was looking for, delivered to my home. Enerdynes marxist store policy and my freedom collided this time, and they lost this sale to Amazon. While dining on the patio at VI Grill down the street I was doing impromptu surveys of a few passing visitors, and was told that no one was requiring rebreathers (face masks) anywhere in Suttons Bay except this establishment. Hmmm. Keep that tin foil on wrapped tightly on your head Enerdyne...it might help in finding polar North. Order Confirmation Hello Richard, Thank you for shopping with us.
