Super cool board games spot. The saw the games I least expected to find. It was bummer that I was traveling and I didn't have room to carry more stuff but if you live in Bloomington and board games is your thing - you won't get wrong with it. Also there's a coffee house in the spot - so well that's something extra for you. read more

My first trip to Red Raccoon Games won't be my last! The building is packed full of everything you need to make your nerdy dreams come true! They offer Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, Warhammer, board games, and so much more! The employees are ready to help you in any way they can and the place is super clean and organized! They aren't too expensive either! I love how accepting of anyone and everyone they are too! Check this place out for all things nerdy and amazing! read more

Love the new storefront on the corner! It felt so much more roomier to be in. Very cool to have a coffee shop in there as well. It did seem lot more D&D heavy which is not my forte but most of the non D&D games are right in the front which was helpful to see. I thought there was a great selection of choices. read more

As someone who was completely new to mtg this store has been beyond helpful, from recommending what commander to what cards would best with pre owned decks. The staff is super friendly and super bubbly and just a joy to be around. Thank you so much - Ivy Adams Chase Nelson read more

I passed by Red Racoon Games for a long time before I went in. "I don't play Magic or other tabletop games, so they're not for me" I said. I was stupid and wrong and I've learned my lesson. Once I got inside, I realized they've got *walls* of board games, card games, dice games, and other fun toys and puzzles. Certainly go if you're into TCGs and tabletop games; but absolutely something for everyone. Super-helpful staff really makes this an excellent shopping experieince, and you're supporting local. (Often, I've found things to be cheaper at Red Racoon than at that large online company named after a big river.) Excited to see them expand into their new location down the block; but will continue supporting this great business. read more

You can absolutely feel the passion for gaming in this store. As far as specifically Pokemon TCG, they have everything you could need at a near unbeatable price! read more

If you've heard the term "friendly local gaming store," Red Raccoon embodies it. Not only do they have a wide selection of tabletop, RPG, and card games for all audiences, they host and promote events that bring gamers together. The staff is friendly and helpful - if didn't have something I was looking for, they have offered to order it, and they've given great advice on finding just the right game for gifts... Add to that, they are actively invested in the downtown as a community. Highly recommended. read more

Variety, excellent customer service, and friendly atmosphere. Has games you won't find anywhere else in a brick & mortar store and ones you'd never think of shopping for online. Also does game rentals and free in store game play. Rented Small World for only $5 and got an extra day because the shop was closing early the next day. read more

A great gaming hobby experience! Really fantastic folks.

Tight space, full of lots of designer games and attentive service. The bathroom is a full emersion of table top gaming culture.
