At the start of…read morethe year they even occupied the shop next door, so now the comics are separated from the games. Note that they don't specialize in family board games but rather role playing table top games and board games related to fantasy, scifi, superheroes and horror with a few games tied to other comics. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about their areas. If they don't carry something they're happy to order it. Now they have a table customers can reserve for gaming and Magic. T3 occasionally invites comic artists and writers for autograph signing and game producers for demo games. Everyone can speak English, some with a charming accent. Stop by or check out their website to hear of upcoming events. They also have a pin board for gamers seeking other players or ongoing games. I almost forgot to mention they have supplies for painting miniatures, too. I love to go just to look around and be inspired. I only withheld a single star because the place can't quite compete with similar shops I've visited in major cities like NYC and Paris.
