Their menu has some solid snacks to get you through longer play sessions, and they've also got some drinks on tap. We've become frequent visitors:)

I wasn't sure if this was more orientated to adults before we went in, but the staff was great with the kids in the shop. They had a nice selection of Pokémon cards to go through. The space has a nice large room with multiple ling tables and chairs to play. A selection of merchandise from various franchises is available along one side. Next to the counter is access to a smaller room that looked, to this absolute layperson on the topic, like a very impressive setup for both playing and shopping for Warhammer. The calendar looked to be packed with opportunities to play various tabletop games and cards. Good location in the Kenny Centre Mall near all of those awesome restaurants and plenty of parking in the shopping center lot.

Had a great draft beer and an appetizer which were both good. Chatted with the owner at length who was behind the bar. It's a table top game focused bar/resturaunt.

They offer a variety of drinks and food items, which you can enjoy while playing games. You can order at the bar or through the wait staff that comes around to take orders. The drinks were very festive, like the golden dragon, which had shimmering edible glitter in it, and the bunny shot, which was served in a chocolate bunny. I got to try lots of boardgames like 3D blockus, hues and cues, and attempted to play wingspan (although we didn't get to it because it's a long game!) They even had a stage area, which would be great for performances. Will be back to enjoy their food next time! The only thing to note is that their parking is limited and most of the surrounding lots have tow warning signs on them so carpooling would be good if you're going with a big group!

I highly recommend you visit and pick up a game you've never played, like Gloom which is a storytelling card game, or Concept which is a secret word game where you have a limited number of symbols to get people to guess, or better yet Mysterium which is sort of like Clue only there is a ghost giving you hints!

The guy at the check out was quick to help unlock a case and ring up my purchase. He said they'd been around for nine years but I have never found them with a search on Apple or Google Maps. I'm glad Gemini suggested it when I asked about toys and collectibles. The items I bought were at a fair price, lower than shown on eBay. The place is on the back/opposite side of the building Apple Maps takes you to.

I've been here three times and this time was the last. It just gets worse everytime I go…read more The store is incredibly cluttered, it smells like cigarette smoke when you walk in, exactly what you want for *checks notes* collectibles where condition is everything like toys and comic books. They've expanded into just about everything which means that there's a bunch of small sections of just random junk in among the RC cars and "collectibles". The smoke alone should be enough to tell any collector that these guys aren't serious and will sell you depreciated junk and call it a collectible. First time I couldn't get anyone's attention to purchase a hobby knife. After about 10 minutes of flatout being ignored while they stocked or talked or whatever they were doing. Second time, they didn't have what I needed, third time I went in saw they wanted $10 for a bottle of paint that was so old it couldn't be mixed back together and walked back out. This place is a train wreck and is less a business than it is "The owner couldn't afford his hobby and thought he could turn it into a business." Which he is utterly failing at.

Not sure why I waited so long, but I'll be back sooner.

The graphic novel selection is fantastic, The only ding on this shop is a quibble, and not something to complain about, but just something to be aware of. If you buy wall books, the top loader is not included in the purchase. On top of the sale price, the top loader costs extra. Not much, but a bit. Fyi. Staff was friendly, though I didn't ask many questions. I'm sure they know their stuff. I'll happily visit again when I'm in the area.

There is even floor model old school video games for sale and funny outlandish and even peculiar games. Adam, my daughter's boyfriend who was in my shopping posse today really enjoyed this store and some of the unorthodox game titles.
