Pegasus is my go to shop for miniature wargaming/hobby gaming in the Madison area. It's a full-line…read morestore with a curated selection of board and card games in addition to their hobby game products. They carry more than just the usual GW stuff, including a robust selection of paints, hobby tools, basing supplies, and the like. Special orders are easy to place and Pegasus does a good job communicating product availability for items that are hard to get. There's a substantial play area with a large quantity of tabletop terrain available for customer use. Pegasus staff actively participate in my gaming group's Facebook page even though none of them play our game (Malifaux). They inform us about upcoming releases and new hobby products, answer questions, and take note of any special events we might be doing. I think there's been a big turnaround at Pegasus within the last couple of years. When I first went to the store in mid-2016, I didn't think I'd be back. I had the same experience recounted by many of my friends here: poor customer service, dingy surroundings, unwelcoming toward women and non-nerds. My experience today is very different. Staff members I've interacted with have been friendly and attentive. I often see women in the gaming area and behind the counter. The shop won't win any interior design awards, but it's clean and well laid out. If you're still avoiding Pegasus because of unpleasant stories or experiences from a few years ago, I encourage you to give the store another shot.

There was a guy at the counter who did not say a word to me as he rang me up no hello or thank you . I wish Lori could see what happened to her store . She would cry. Farewell pegasus. I will not return.

It was a little before close, so I was expecting to have to leave my band there for them to work on it, but they were able to work their magic in the time we were there and get the ring to finally fit my finger comfortably. Would highly recommend this place for purchasing rings! They have great customer service and a nice selection.

I underestimated how busy Noble Knight Games would be. This is definitely THE PLACE TO BE if you…read moreare into tabletop gaming. My husband definitely belongs to that group, so we stopped by on our trip up north. The biggest recommendation I can give, as an out-of-towner: Order ahead of time for pick-up so you can give them a heads up on your order. It's a warehouse -- it's one of the top businesses to order games from online -- so they have a lot for purchase that you don't see in the retail area. If you order when you arrive, you may be hanging around for a bit (45 minutes or so in our case) for it to be ready, though hanging out in the game room wasn't a bad time either. Their retail shelves contain several games to peruse as well as other fun bits. My kids liked the four-foot-tall, intricate dice tower that made fun sounds as the dice traveled down. They also had some nerdy stuffies that were neat to see too. And on one side of the showroom are several tables too where you could play a game. My husband came away impressed and with several games. This checked off a board game bucket list item for him!
