At first I was skeptical based on past game store places and that most of the highly advertised…read moreevents were not my genre and that they all came with entry fees visiting this place changed my mind. I appreciated the diversity of genres from heavy to light and social games as well as strategy games (I don't like when other places have only light or party games!). We stayed the entire time for Twilight Imperium and were treated well. They didn't rush us out at close as other places do. They allow outside food where others don't. Price is actually reasonable considering their library and the people there are plentiful and diverse too. I haven't tried going to open gaming events where you mingle but can consider that in the future. They host their own monthly Twilight Imperium which I might try out in the future when I am free on the weekend!

Kiddos, hubby and I were going on a weekend game store loop in the Sacramento area and came upon…read morethis store. It looked like they were expanding their store to accommodate more space for their products. People were already filing in to play games and it looked like they had a community of regular players filing in. As usual, I was just curious about their WarHammer collection and it was a decent amount. I liked their table set up for Warhammer ready with tape measures and landscape. They had Pokemon and MTG commander packs and boosters available as well, my only complaint is that there was no price tag on their boxes and when we asked them how much the commander box was, they were looking up prices on their phone for a few minutes before we got a response. It made me think that they were going above msrp and just seemed shady. Just make sure as a customer you have an idea of what you're willing to pay for product. I'm all for supporting standing stores versus online, but not on this visit.

I remember as a kid I was an avid reader,but for some reason I thought comic books were really lame…read morebecause they weren't real books.They were just pictures with a few words and wasn't even close to what I was doing knocking out multiple books in a week. Sometime in my 30s though that all changed.As I got older,I came to appreciate the high quality of the medium,in regards to being able to have such complex stories work with such high quality artwork. So I started collecting comics and became a frequent customer to A-1 Comics in Roseville located on Sunrise Avenue. The top two things I love about this location are as follows. -Their employees really give excellent customer service.They are very helpful in assisting the customers in finding whatever they are looking for. A-1 has two other locations in the Sacramento area and multiple times I've been in Roseville and they were sold out of what I was looking for and they took it upon themselves to call their other locations to check if they had what I wanted-that's excellent customer service. -Second thing that truly stands out for me about A-1 is they aren't cheap on inventory-every week when new releases come out,they always have plenty of copies so that as many customers as possible have a good opportunity to get the issues they want-not all comic shops do this-others keep such limited inventory that they sell out too fast-A-1 rarely lets that happen. This Roseville location pretty much has its own parking lot,so there's always has plenty of parking available for its customers. In closing, I really do recommend this shop for all your comic needs-it's a pretty awesome place filled with pretty awesome employees and I always look forward to heading back out there.

My favorite Game store in Sacramento…read more It contains a large catalog of card, board, strategy and miniature games that will appeal to a casual laymen, a beginner, or the serious die hard enthusiast. There are 2 parts to this large store, the showroom area with all the games, miniatures for your perusing and purchasing pleasure. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in recommending a game you may like, or answering inquiries into availability or ordering a game they may not have in stock. The 2d part is large game room that is stocked with games you can test out, or just come in with your friends, or meet new friends and try them out. They publish a monthly schedule of tournaments, contests, or just open game playing. On this occaision, I came to one of the Semi Annual flea market bazaars, where anyone could sign up, for a small fee , get a space to sell their older games , or maybe crafts. There is No fee to be a shopper st the bazaar, so you can find some good deals on games, miniatures, cards, books, terrain, storage or dice. I scored a Zombicide game that was unpunched at a great price for my son & I to play. All in all, just a great store for any game enthusiast of every age from beginners to the hard core gamer.

Truthfully, I really don't think we have anything down there that compares to the size, selection, and value at Great Escape. This place was awesome! There's just so much to look at! Friendly customer service, great choice selection of games and tools, and if you sign up for their rewards at the register you get $2 off. I'm a new 40k enthusiast and really enjoyed hanging around here. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Their prices are reasonable and if you're someone who's interested in painting miniatures and all- definitely give this place a shot. They have everything you need here... you've got plenty of options. It's a pretty big establishment, the only weird thing is that it's hidden tucked away on the backside of the building. I went on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to exploring more of Sac's gaming scene.

The last time we went in there were two employees behind the counter having casual conversation with other customers for over 10 minutes and did not acknowledge us at the counter. We ended up setting all of our stuff down and walking out.

I was not planning on leaving a review, because I understand that you're not always going to get…read morewhat you ask for. This review is specifically about going to trade or sell cards here. Again, I wasn't going to leave a review, but after going to another place and thinking about what I was offered on the Pokémon cards I wanted to sell/trade it almost feel downright criminal and like I was almost robbed. I went in with a good amount of graded slabs and raw Pokémon cards to sell or trade. The guy who was "helping" me started off doing the slabs and gave me the offer for those , it was a bit below what I had hoped for, but I had driven 1hr and 45 minutes to get there, plus I understand not all comps are the same. I didn't mind that offer. The PROBLEM came when he got to comping out my raw cards, it was a good amount of cards, close to 100 cards I'd like to say. When he was done comping them out and gave me an offer of around $700-$800 for all the cards. I had do a quick overview of which cards he was taking in. I immediately knew something was off because a card that was around $700 market he was offering $115 because the condition "MP" he said.. I chose not to accept the offer for the raw cards, but still closed the deal on the slabs. Got some things for trade. When I got home I started doing a bit more research on the raw cards he was going to take in and that's when I started to feel like I was almost robbed/scammed. I understand cards vary in condition and on top of that you only get a percentage not the market price for cards when selling to vendors or LCS, but the market for all the cards he was going to take was around $4k for all, the offer I was given was less than $800.. even if those cards were in awful condition (which they weren't) that offer would still be criminally low! After seeing that myself and going through the numbers again and again I felt so disappointed , irritated that someone would even do that especially at a shop!! What really pissed me off, still in my head trying to give them benefit of the doubt, trying to remain a bit positive was me going to another LCS and them telling me that I was being ripped off with that offer. I'm still in a bit of disbelief, idk how many times they do that where based on "condition" they openly rip off people who have no idea what they have, many people look towards their LCD and community to trust, but this shop has definitely failed at that for me. That aside, the staff comes off nice and welcoming, but after my experience it all seems that at least the person who deals with the Pokémon side of things has other intentions.
