    Megan C.

    Stopped in with my gamer boyfriend this past weekend since we had a gift certificate and we're looking to update our board game wall - I can't believe I had never been. Next time we visit I am making my plan to get lunch after...almost every restaurant in my bookmarks right now is nestled in this amazing plaza! Amiel's, Med Kabob, Nepali Kitchen, Taste of Japan - how did I not know these were all here?! I need to do an "eat around this plaza" tour someday very soon. ANYWAYS this review is NOT about the plaza/great food options, Megan, get WITH it. The game shop itself smells a lil moldy/musty/basement-y upon arrival, but WOW the amount of games, puzzles, comics, trinkets, and more is enough to make your jaw drop. They have a HUGE gamer party room in the back that, during the non-COVID times, is used for games and events. It is sad to see it all packed up and out of use, but I think they keep their social updated on when it will come back to life. We looked around for awhile. I was specifically looking for Guess Who (lol, I know) and alas, nowhere to be found. I know I am not the gamer of the family, but I was a bit shocked by how much of an investment a board game is. We ended up with Bananagrams, ratuki, and Joking Hazard and are super excited to play these with our fam and as a couple. There's nothing quite like a social game with family to create fun moments and make gatherings more noteworthy. I love a good game. Everything here is labelled nicely, which helped us narrow down where we were headed and what style of games there are on the market right now. Spoiler: there's SO MANY. We'll continue to shop here often as opposed to ordering from big box shops. I think they have a perfect business model for the times once were allowed to all play together in large groups again. Grateful to have a gem like Millenium Games in the community and looking forward to more trips in the future!

    Look at all that dice

    If you can't find the game you're looking for here, then you'll likely find it nowhere else. This place is MASSIVE. There are enough dice in crates, Pokemon cards, board games, figurines, collectibles etc that if the world ended tomorrow and you were stuck here for years, you probably couldn't finish 1/10 of the store. Largest game store I've ever seen that is board games related; not so much computer/PS2 related (try game stop) but for those who are die hard board games/card games fans. The people who run this place clearly are passionate and I wouldn't be surprised if they knew how to play every game in there. It's lovely. To see such mass and such pride in one Mecca is refreshingly beautiful in 2020, when our world is heavily digitzed. I felt like I entered Big Bang Theory's world whenever they ran into the game/comic book store. They have every Catan extension game that exists. They even have a clearance section and an impressive used games section that everyone will find some treasure. It is also super soul warming to see so many die hard board gamers out and about buying their games and looking so comfortable. They also have a room in the back that pre COVID era looked like a place for you to get together with pals and play. Stop by and take in a moment of board game nerddom and even take home a game to play during this pandemic; it will truly broaden your world over cliched games like CAH/ What do you Meme (truly boring games IMO when there are some better ones out there).

    This is quite literally the Gaming Mecca of Hennrietta- And quite possibly all of Upstate NY. There are other great shops all with their great points and specialities, this place however- Let's just say it takes out a category and scale all it's own and runs with it like no other ever has or likely ever will. This location plays host to insanely fun regular game nights and info sessions and is professionally staffed with some of the best minds in local gaming, check out the online schedule and stop in on a rainy day/night if you've never played, it'll be worth your time, especially if you have gamer kids (young or old) in your life. If you're looking for a place near RIT, UofR or MCC to hang with fellow Gamers and want regular competition, albeit in Magic or even D&D or Star wars mini games, or just looking to find a RPG group- YUP, you guessed it, this is you're local hotspot. Games I KNOW of in competitive play as per scheduling found on Facebook: Miniture stratagy games: Warhammer 40k Warhammer Card games: Magic The Gathering (massive collection of packs,singles and deck building and protection suplies) Yu-Ge-Oh Pokemon RPG Dungeons and Dragons (and many more I won't list due to the length of the list) They also have endless game selections (board games and such), model paints (Citadel and such), gaming miniatures, supplies, game resource books and dice ECT. ECT. Stop by, stay a while, get a snack from the counter and relax in a great enviroment where having TRUE fun is just a dice roll or card draw away.

    This gaming shop has a wide selection of board games, card games, role playing games and much more. The games are sorted in categories like "New Releases," "Top 40," "Euro Games," "Two Player Games" and "Card Games" among others. There are displays set up throughout the store to show you the set up of various games. I liked the variety of games as well as the used game and discounted game sections. The store has a large area in the back for playing board games and tournaments. The staff was helpful in addressing my questions and helping me find different games. The only negative was related to price. As far as I could tell, the games were MSRP or maybe a little more expensive (with the exception of the used and discounted games). I really like this store, but I would save 25-30% buying games at my local game shop. Regardless, you should check this store out.

    Besides my family, I say my favorite thing about going home to Rochester is Wegmans. Millenium Games is now a high #2 on that list. Holy moly - I went in twice on my short trip home at Christmas and was totally impressed. It was busy being December 23 - and the staff was great. The space is huge. They had several high top tables set up with the games out so you could take a look at them up close. One of the staff was floating the floor asking people what they were looking for and making recommendations) in a very insightful way. "What kind of games do you like? Who will you play with (ages)? If you like this game, this other game will be a lot of fun for you?..." This is exactly the kind of conversation that a good game shop should be having with their customers. Nerds in game spaces sometimes can feel intimidating and gatekeep those out of the hobby. We are collectors and like weird deep dives into details that can seem like a constant one-upping of another that is exhausting. Being an ambassador to games instead of a gatekeeper is better for everyone. They have an amazing variety - dice (the shiny glittery math rocks for dice goblins like me); games for parties, kids, the obscure; a really great indie TTRPG section; puzzles -- and frisbee golf. Games outside are called sports -- but I let it slide. They had a huge table space for games - and I lament that I was not home long enough to take part in an event there. So, my routine when I go home is now - hug mom and dad, go to Wegmans and then Millenium Games.

    First visit here for me. I was really surprised when I walked in. This place was huge. It was…read moreexactly what I was looking for. It honors a lot of religions and spiritual practices. I had my husband with me, so I couldn't do the kind of walkthrough I wanted to do. But I made sure to check out their candle selection. I was really glad I did, they have every candle imaginable. Their prices were affordable. Definitely less expensive than ordering online. Plus it's nice to walk around and see all the options. They have an entire crystal and mineral section. I could have been in that store for hours. It had a family environment, parents shopping with their kids. If your kids are into metals, rocks, or crystals this spot is it. I wasn't looking but I'm sure they have D&D stuff and other fun gam I liked the store a lot. Some of these mystic shops have a witchy vibe, which isn't my thing. This place felt more wholesome. Something us old ancestral witches like. Lol I ended up buying several different types of candles, sage, and a Rose quartz for my meditation room. Next time, I go back. I will update with some pictures.

    Short review: If you're a witch that cares about ethics and respecting other cultures, maybe think…read moretwice! And if you're the owner of a metaphysical shop, do your research as to not sell goods that may be seen as disrespectful to large groups of people. Long version: Listen. You can get what you need most likely if you're spiritual from this shop, BUT-- there's a seeming lack of social responsibility that should concern my fellow respectful witches. They sell white sage and native/African cultural practice tools that are not appropriate for mass consumption. (Outside of people of those descents.) In their 7 day candle section there was an 'Indian power candle' referring to natives, along with the white smudge sticks and other tools of that nature. It is my understanding based upon the actual words of Native American people in the spiritual and witchcraft community that native sourced dream catchers and such ARE an appropriate thing to sell as long as actual Native Americans are the source of these goods and being compensated, but white sage is both unsustainable and not meant to be used outside of their closed practices. And using a native person as a mascot on your candle with the wrong terminology is beyond inappropriate.

    This is just about as good as your Friendly Local Game Shop gets. I have only been here once, but…read morecan't wait to go back again. Just Games is located in a large strip plaza in Penfield, and can be a bit tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area (i.e. me). However, once inside, it feels like you've left the hustle and bustle of the plaza behind. The manager (owner?) of the store was super nice and showed me a few things in the store, gave me their normal schedule of events, and made sure to introduce himself and get my name as well. I purchased some sleeves for one of my games and signed up for their free customer rewards program. As well as having your normal Magic the Gathering cards and supplies, the store boasts a large collection of tabletop games and accessories. Newer titles were on the shelf as well as plenty of expansions and other goodies. The store itself has a large collection of games that customers are welcome to open up and play while in the shop, and if desired, rented out for a small fee. This was probably the highlight of my visit. I tried out a couple new games and made mental notes of the games I wanted to come back and play/rent. Despite living about 75 miles away, I fully plan on taking a trek back out here to join a game night and meet some new people, learn new games, and enjoy what this shop has to offer.

    Just Games is awesome and I wish covid was over so I could go back and play. They're open for…read morepurchases and I've been buying my Magic the Gathering products their since. I've been a customer and player at Just Games for a few years and I highly recommend it. They do pre-release events at Nox bar and it is so unique. The ownership is inclusive and cares so much about their business. It's wonderful visiting the shop because you see how passionate they are about table top gaming. TL;DR Fantastic ownership, friendly environment, great products
