The staff was also friendlier and helpful. If you're looking for Pokémon cards, this is definitely not the best place to look for them. They had a bunch of single cards displayed and it looks pretty randomized. Not a good variety and honestly looks disorganized. They at least have a decent amount of sealed products, but everything was above market price. The staff wasn't friendly, nor were they interactive. The place wasn't that organized. There's a decent amount of table with you want to play card games with your friends.

Parking isn't…read moregreat, as I got a ticket for accidentally parking in the paid parking lot next door when I came in the dark one time, but otherwise the store itself is pretty cool! Employees were all nice every time I've gone. Everything I've tried foodwise here has been pretty good! I love that they serve soups, meeples doesn't serve soup so that's specifically how I found this place. I always have a place to sit and the environment is relaxing. They were playing some sort of jazz sonic the hedgehog soundtrack tonight which was awesome to recognize. Wish they served a bigger soup variety, been chasing the clam chowder ever since I tried it lol.

There were two offline pins, a couple of others that weren't working properly, and the ATM went out of order while I was there. Maybe that's for the best, as when it was working it limited me to a $10 withdrawal and charged me $3.75 in fees for the privilege. Seems like Raygun has started to lose the thread. Hopefully they can get back on track!

Then there was the wall of 1000-piece puzzles and the 3D Legos and my mind was blown! I bought my husband some magnets and look forward to returning. There are no stores near me, which is surprising because I'd think that they would do quite well. But, if in the area and I have time, I'd come back. However, that would be for ideas because I'd rather find what I want and look for it somewhere local.

Just to clarify, Mind Games is actually a store inside of Southcenter Mall. It isn't a mall cart or…read morestand, as the photo on this listing seems to show. Now that we got that out of the way, I really liked this little game and puzzle shop inside of the mall. I admit, I don't normally go into stores like this, but I saw their puzzle selection as I was walking past and had to check it out. And I'm so glad I did! I love puzzles and recently got a large one for my birthday after having not built one in years. I had so much fun that I was itching to get another--so the timing was perfect. I spent most of my time there looking at the puzzles, but I did wander around the rest of the store and saw lots of table top games, both mainstream and more advanced for serious gamers. There were cards, dice sets, learning toys and science sets. I also saw classic, wooden chess and checkers sets, even game tables. If you're a Lego fan, there is a smaller selection here. And POP fans should probably check out this location for their large selection. What really got me pumped was seeing some of their Nintendo collectibles, items, and themed merchandise. There were mugs, Zelda Master Sword and shield props, and even Nintendo themed board games. I ended up getting two puzzles, a 1,000 piece panorama one ($25) and a smaller 550 piece Zelda puzzle ($10). However, I was extremely tempted by their selections of mystery puzzle games, Ravensburger, Aquarius, and Heye triangular box puzzles (much more expensive, but so cool). Can't wait to come back to get more!

If I could give six stars, I would. Over the years, I've frequented boatloads of comic shops along…read morethe west coast and Outsider is truly my favorite. They have an enormous selection of comics, zines, graphic novels, and more. Looking for the latest premiere titles from DC / Marvel / Image / etc.? They got you. Looking for some hot new manga? They got you. Maybe you want some fresh, totally unique indie publication that none of your friends have heard of yet? They. Got. You. But their crazy-diverse selection isn't even what makes Outsider a truly great shop; it's their staff and the vibe they've created. Navigating geek culture can sometimes be a treacherous (gatekeeping and elitism abound). But not at Outsider. All geeks seem to be truly welcome: from hardcore fans, to casual readers, to absolute noobs looking for a place to begin exploring printed media, Outsider's staff will be there to help people find what they're looking for. Outsider is an absolute gem.

All of the staff at Mox were amazing, from the bartenders to the employees helping with the board games. Everyone was super friendly and helpful, especially when it came to recommending a game based on what we liked. We were recommended Karmaka, and it ended up being such a fun and strategic two-player game! On top of that, the cocktails are fairly priced at around $14-$18, which honestly isn't too bad for Bellevue. Overall, such a fun experience and definitely a spot we'd come back to!

A delightfully large gaming shop with an add-on restaurant and no customer service…read more Board games, card games, puzzles galore and as far as the eye could see my teenage self would have loved this place. I felt warm and fuzzy but the customer service others have written about I did not experience. I first felt like a ghost walking from room to room seemingly invisible to human eye as no one said anything to me. This feeling was further felt when we decided to get a drink at the bar and the hostess / waitress pointedly addressed my friend without so much as a glance, body language completely focused on him, as though I was not there. We then went to the bar where the bartender greeted us with, "IDs out!" and then left. No "hi" no "here's a menu, I will be back over". Just "IDs out!" Look, I get that the Liquor Board is out about as other restaurants have explained overly apologetic for asking for an ID from someone who couldn't pass for under 35 if I tried (and these days I suspect I couldn't even meet that young of age) but barking at me as the first employee who said anything to me only guarantees I will not be back. The only person who managed to be pleasant was a young woman with short black hair blue bangs and blue and burgundy tips. Everyone else? About as warm as the Arctic waters. I can get drinks and cards elsewhere and grateful to know my experience is singular and not the norm.

They are willing to make your bevvy dreams a reality. In retrospect, some of the flavor combinations I've suggested are nightmares. But, I am a Goblin. The interior has themed rooms which are kept clean by Seattle and Goblin standards, but would be considered fairly dirty anywhere in Japan. It can get busy on the weekends, but this Goblin knows what it's like to be slammed, so I wait patiently and be respectful. It's nice to see an unpretentious flavor forward cafe run by young women doing so well. Their Hazelnut lattes don't lack flavor and taste like you "don't get it". Their coffee tastes like you were finally invited to the dance. While the market has decided that a Goblin will pay at least $8 for a coffee now, I'll fight back my Goblin tears and say "WORTH IT, WORTH IT, YOU ARE WORTH IT!". I took 1 star off because no place is perfect. I'd also like to see patrons of West Seattle businesses do more as a community to keep these spaces clean and tidy.
