We have yet to find a store in Northern Jersey to satisfy our tabletop board game needs. By…read moretabletop board games I mean things like pandemic, everdell, wingspan and arc nova, not monopoly, clue and sorry. This place has a decent selection of board games, but the organization scheme is somewhat of a disaster. I think basically the games were vaguely in alphabetical order and then a tornado went through them. So if you have a particular game in mind, you might be able to find it by looking in the general area of the letter it begins with. But seriously very few people come to a board game store with a particular game in mind. A better (and more common) scheme would be by complexity - light vs medium vs heavy strategy, with coop games on a separate shelf. We asked the staff for recommendations, and the person who helped us was less than helpful. You could tell from his tone that he wanted us to leave. He pulled games arbitrarily off of the shelf without much explanation of why he even recommended them. All board games are at market price. I guess we will keep going into the city for our board games.

Not a soul could be bothered to pick up, once over the many hours I called in, in which the store was open, and when I had the displeasure of finally reaching of reaching a person who went by Theo on the other end, they were curt and rude to deal with, and were of no help, not even with an apology for my time that was wasted from the shops poor communication throughout the entirety of the day. Honestly one of the worst communiques I have EVER had had with an LGS in years of play. It takes a lot to make me pissed enough to get up and write even a slightly less than positive review, so you can imagine how pissed I am at the moment. I would dodge like the goddamn plague

They also sell some sports cards and collectable card games. Employee was helpful and knowledgeable.

I placed an order last week (12/9) and reached out asking about the status of my order on (12/13) after not seeing any changes to my shipments status online. Not only did they reply within an hour, they also sent me 2 other follow up emails the same day to make sure I was getting the correct information on my shipment. Without a doubt, 10/10 on communication. The item I purchased was also in immaculate condition, even the box was flawless after shipping across the country. The price for my item was also below what competitors were charging for the specific piece. This is proof to me they care about their business and customers. These people are incredible. I will absolutely be a returning customer. Thanks again!

Unless you're apparently a local and/or just flat out lucky, taking time out of your life to come…read morehere isn't worth it at all. Full disclosure - I never made it inside the store. I wanted to come here and probably buy some stuff. I really did. But this place apparently likes to open when they feel like it. I live about 90 minutes away from this place and on two different occasions, I was to be in the area as it was. Twice I made it a point to come here during advertised business hours and TWICE this place was closed during those same advertised business hours. Thankfully I was already in the area doing other things anyway, but what terrible business practices and what a waste of time to try to come here. Unsure of the reasons they were closed during their business hours either time - whether it was because the owner didn't want to work, couldn't get out of bed, decided to be lazy, has absolutely zero business acumen, or whatnot. Who knows. On their website, social media, Google, and on their own answering machine when I've called, they claim the same hours/days - yet, they fail to be open during those select times. I'm fair and if something were to have come up - twice - where they couldn't open or didn't want to for whatever reason, I'm understanding. But to not even update their own answering machine or anywhere else is unacceptable. Perhaps I'm unlucky and both times I was there, they decided they didn't want to open on those days and during their advertised business hours - or perhaps they're just poor at running a business. I've never had this issue with any other business before (whether they're similar or not), so the fault has to lie with the owner. It's a shame too, because from what I've seen it looks like a nice place. The owner seems like a nice guy. It was a place I was looking forward to trying out. But they aren't remotely the only place around that sells the same type of stuff and I'm very lucky in my travels/searches to find other similar stores that know how to run a business. And those places (or any other like it that I find) will continue to get my business, whereas this place will not. Ever. I know I'm in the minority as they seem to have a lot of fans - good for those people. I don't wish ill will despite their poor business practices. I really hate having to write a negative review, but coming here twice in good faith only for the store to be closed with absolutely zero signage or indication as to why or that they would even be closed in the first place during advertised business hours is completely unacceptable for me. It would be unacceptable for just about any other type of business, but somehow this place has just lucked out. I can only suggest if you're local, you can try your luck. If you're coming from far away, then I'd make sure you have alternate or other plans because this place is completely unreliable to be open during the times they claim they are. If I came all the way here solely for this place, I'd have been livid. As of now, it's just an annoying inconvenience and I'm thankful I had other places to go. I'll just continue to give business to similar stores that actually know how to run a business and know how to open during their advertised times. I tried this place twice in good faith - there will never be a third attempt.

How horrible is that?…read moreI'm even more embarrassed and glad at the same time to admit the fact that I went to Target first looking for packs of baseball cards!!! They no longer carry them, so after "Googling" it, I found East Coast. I was looking for a little extra pizazz to add to my son's birthday party "goodie bags" being that he invited his team to laser tag. I could be wrong, but it seems like card collecting has fallen by the wayside. So I figured, why not... Everything was right there for you to pick from. They have EVERYTHING, from current to old school. The guy there was extremely helpful and when he must've heard my son asking me about the packs of cards to put in his gift bags, the guy gave my son a little something extra for his birthday. (Was very nice of him and was a very nice gift). If you're like me and used to be in the card game, stop on in. Place is on point and who knows.... Hopefully my son will get interested in the hobby and it'll give me more of a reason to go back!

I met the owner Bill, and although the place was busy when I initially arrived, he did his best to provide attention to everyone. I felt he was sincere and very much to the point which is extremely important when you deal with with customers and these sort of memorabilia.
