We came here on a recent Friday for our son to compete in a gaming night they host. The store was chocked full of SO many games. These are not what you see on the shelves at your local Target or Wal-Mart. These are a much more unique collection! You'll find a lot of fantasy and role-playing board games here. Many crossovers with sci-fi tv shows and cartoons like Firefly or Rick and Morty. They don't really stock word playing stuff like Scrabble or Bananagrams or classic games like Chinese checkers or Life. There is also a very large comic book section of the store. It was all a bit overwhelming but in a good way! This would be a great place to get a unique gift for someone who loves board games. The dedicated gaming room was massive and full of tables and chairs. The other players there were quite kind to our son. The Green Dragon staff guided and explained everything so he felt comfortable. He was a good deal younger than everyone else so as a parent I really appreciated the generosity of the players and staff. We will absolutely be back! read more

We drove to this store from Mt. Pleasant so a specific DnD book could be purchased. We wanted, especially in current times, to support a small, local business instead over a large, national chain store (where we could have very easily obtained the book with much less driving.) While this type of store is not something I personally would seek out (full disclosure: I went because my partner wanted to), I was immediately hooked when I walked in. I loved the stickers and signs I saw on the windows and door before even walking in. I was ecstatic to see the store highlighting the work of Black/African-American comic-book writers and characters at the front of the store. The game and book options were seemingly endless, even for someone like me who doesn't know a whole lot. And, prior to driving out there, we called just to make sure the certain books were in stock. An employee answered the phone, well before store open, and kindly checked the store in order to best answer our question(s). Both prior to entering and even while in there, the customer service was great. Under normal circumstances, I think I would rate this store a 5/5. I struggle to write this review without mentioning safety cautions, which are important for me at this time for myriad reasons. I've debated whether I should mention these things in these types of reviews (maybe that's a conversation for a different time), and I'm willing to remove or edit when it is no longer relevant. However, what bothered me, a lot, actually, was the lack of social distancing precautions taking place within the store. No employees were wearing masks and only half of the customers in the main area of the store were wearing masks. The store still had their separate section (a room that is attached, but separated from the main store) operating for game time, and at least 10 young adults (~20s) were there eating snacks and playing games. While I only quickly peeked inside (before realizing it wasn't part of the store), I saw only one person sitting at a table playing games wearing a thin mask. As a health scientist and health-cautious individual, this bothersome to me for various reasons, with one of them being my comfortability with leaving the house, especially for non essential items, is not high. When I do go somewhere, however, I expect and hope that places are at least follow minimum recommended CDC guidelines. Because they were totally lacking at Green Dragon this weekend, my partner and I purchased his book and quickly left as fast as possible. We talked about this the entire car ride home - wondering why this was the case? Why aren't the employees concerned for themselves? Or their customers? How should I rate the review because of it?Perhaps most disappointedly, we discussed how under other circumstances, we would have been in that store for at LEAST an hour, and probably longer, looking and likely purchasing way too many games and books for ourselves, our family, and friends. Because this is so important to me, I've decided to rate 3 stars and cut the difference, while being fully transparent in explaining my reasoning. My initial reaction was to rate 1 star altogether because of this, frankly because I find it so unacceptable and astonishing, but I want to try my best to also be balanced and fair, to a degree, realizing that if we all weren't facing these unprecedented times, my impression of the place wouldn't be close to what it is. My plan is that following the pandemic, I hope to return. When I do, I am certain I will change my review to 4 or 5 stars. read more

I Am a die hard gaming me and have been since I was a child. The selection of board/card/dice games available here is insane. I'm lucky I don't live nearby or my wife would have another reason to dislike my hobby. read more

This place is amazing. I was here on vacation, just recently got into D&D so I love visiting table top stores everywhere I go. In Charleston, no other store beats green dragon. The people who own and run the store are so friendly. The inventory is absolutely massive. Plus to stop by and play for the day is so reasonable. If your looking for a great place to shop or come and play. I highly recommend green dragon. I went by to visit again before leaving. The prices are really reasonable and there's so much to shop through. read more

If you are ever stumped on where to go to get that uncommon gift for someone The Green Dragon is the place to visit. From comic books to a large selection of CCG games.

They have a huge game room and plenty of tables and chairs set up for you to play on. The staff is friendly and ready to help you. read more

To err on the side of transparency, I would let you know that I have considered Scott, Adriana, and Beowulf as close friends for many, many years. I have done ever so much business at the Green Dragon (in pretty much all locations) over the years and Scott has always taken care of me (through any issues - rare as they have been). I have worked with Scott (and Beowulf​) helping sell my MtG cards for thousands of dollars and they handled all of my business with the utmost​ ethics and honesty (and let me assure you that I don't trust just anybody with my money). Scott has singlehandedly kept the gaming culture alive in Charleston and helped many young people, in this area, improve their social skills and provided for them a safe place to find new friends and spend their time (vs any number of not so positive options). Scott is a kind person and has helped as a patron of​ many local charities... and that is not something I can say about any other game stores in the Charleston area. I would urge you to do your best to shop there and support your largest and oldest local game store. Green Dragon all I can say would be thanks for all the good decades!!! I wouldn't even be the same person without you. William Sean Ott read more

I am not a pro gamer, but I know a lot of them so I feel at least partially qualified to write this review. Green Dragon is a haven for both geeks and nerds alike. It's a well stocked store that carries comic books, board games, card games, role playing games, multi-sided die, incense, beads, jewelry, and even a ninja sword or two. They also have a huge game room in the back, which hosts weekly game tournaments, most notably Friday Night Magic. The owners Beowulf (yes, that really is his real given name) and his father (name escaping me at the moment) offer a lot of gamer snacks and drinks for really cheap. You must pay a little bit of rent to occupy space and time in the game room, but it is very inexpensive (a buck or two) and goes to keeping the lights on. The staff is very knowledgeable about all the games they carry, specifically Magic The Gathering. This is one of the few places you can purchase individual cards and trade them in. I have lots of fun just browsing through all the cool games I never knew existed. Don't expect your average Cranium or Monopoly here. Don't worry about going in there alone to play some games. There are always people hanging out in the game room ready and willing to challenge you to something. I knocked this down a star because although they do have wifi, they aren't very knowledgeable about it, and its kinds of awkward that you have to ask the owner to log you into it, and sometime he doesn't remember the password. It would be nice if they could get a handle on this technology and make it easier to access. read more

Great store with literally everything you would need. Went there on vacation and it was the highlight of the trip. Very cool dude at the front counter and also a good selection of magic the gathering. Would recommend to anyone out there who is into geeky hobbies. read more

Great game shop, one of the first in the country. The owner knows his stuff, and is always friendly. Great venue for card games and table tops. read more

Horrible business, went in for a few games for a party. Turns out party was canceled not long after purchase on Sunday. Went in to store on Tuesday to return, mind you the person who was in the store Sunday didn't place a receipt in my bag after purchase. Tuesday, I was informed they didn't take games back that are on a certain isle , THE FUCK? There was no sign nor did he have the ability to show a written Return agreement. I contacted store via email, was told a sign was up in store saying "No refunds" there was NEVER a sign there when I went. This place is fraudulent as fuck! I wouldn't even give them a 1/3 of a star . read more
