My favorite game shop in Tacoma. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great place to play magic or DND. Regular adventure leagues on Sundays and a good selection of games and cards. If they dont have it they'll help order it. Love Terracrux. read more

Best game shop around. Good selection. Good people. Good atmosphere. Tolerable owner. I kid I kid :)

This was the only board game store in town that I could find that had a good selection of Final Girl Board Game products. Actually it wasn't just good, it was a great selection. The store associates were exceptionally helpful. One of them played the game as well, and was able to show me a few things I didn't know and suggest a couple of products I hadn't thought of to get. The cost was fair for the products I bought. I'm also disabled and the aisles had plenty of room, for me and my wheelchair to be able to get around, which even in big chain stores can be a problem. Also, even though it's downtown, there are designated spots for the store. I highly recommend this store! read more

I went in to sell some cards (about 151 cards) and overall the experience was negative. They were condescending, rude, and aggressive with their questioning of my motives for selling my property. I don't collect and do not know much about the hobby. I wanted an expert opinion and if they had good offers I would sell. They told me it would take a few hours to price them out and they would call me. I had to call them two days later for them to tell me they had not done it yet. About 3 hours later they called me. I went back and they gave me a flat offer for all of the cards. I declined and said I would be willing to sell any of them individually and we can talk about those prices. That's when the interaction went from negative to borderline aggressive. They were blown away that I didn't take their first offer and when I inquired about individual prices for each card they became very uncomfortable and told me they graded all the cards using a machine and it had cost them 3 hours of labor to do it. They offered to sell me the information for the value of my cards (I declined). They also gave me a speech about how they despise buying and selling cards and they only do it to keep the lights on. They said they're just interested in playing games and hanging out (understandable for a board game store). I left out many other slimy details of their greasiness in favor of brevity. Overall, I do feel bad leaving a scathing review of a small businesses but not as bad as I felt walking out of TerraCrux after interacting with them. read more

I sporadically organized a game night at my house and completely forgot to verify if everyone invited knew how to play Magic: The Gathering or if they had plying cards. The service was phenomenal, and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes with everything I needed. The Commander Starter decks ended up being great Christmas gifts for everyone that showed up. I highly recommend this shop. read more

TerraCrux - Hobby Shops Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I had one experience with this place, and will never go back. The staff member that I was dealing with, a gentleman with long, dark hair, was so incredibly rude that I was caught off guard. So, as much fun as it would be to endorse a local shop like this. I promise you you can find these games for significantly cheaper online, and not have to deal with jerk treating you like trash. read more

Hands down on of the best game shops I have ever been to. Amazing selection and very helpful and kind staff. When I am looking for something very specific they usually have it in stock. Their prices are also very good in comparison to some other shops in the area. Will continue to give them my business. read more

Went for 40k products. Their selection is wild. They've got a bunch of older kits for AoS and 40k, and keep up with new ones. Pricing isn't anything wild, and the service is great. Super helpful for ppl just getting into the hobby read more

Great place to find tabletop games, card games and supplies. Very nice selection and staff to help find anything you need.

I wanted to check out this game store after eating lunch nearby, and I'm really glad I did. The owner, Doug, is very friendly and helpful, and he comes across as a good business owner (many game stores feel like some dude's basement that you're invading). The store was clean, spacious and very well-stocked. It's quite a drive for me, but I'm looking forward to visiting again. read more

These folks were the friendliest and most helpful folks. Called, they had the game we wanted, held it and so nice when we picked it up. The game, Just One, is a favorite and we wanted to give it to our daughter while visiting her in Tacoma. Yes, we may have paid a few dollars more but we like to support local businesses when we can. Thanks for your kindness. read more

TerraCrux - Game "Just One" - Hobby Shops Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Great shop. I've visited places all over the country. Very knowledgeable staff, clean, and ample game space. Looking forward to making this my new gaming store. read more

Lots of activities and friendly staff. I come here for MtG cards and some occasional board games and D&D

Wandered in one day 15 minutes after learning this place existed. Super friendly and helpful service and nice selection of games. So happy to find a great game store in Tacoma - we will definitely be back! read more

Workers were rude and called my partner a "bitch" under their breath after he asked questions about their card checking process. Go to one of the other wonderful game shops in Tacoma instead of here. read more

Not disabled friendly! I went in there with my walking stick and was told i couldn't have it in their store! I explained that i have bad knees and i need it to get around. that didn't matter to the very young clerk behind the counter, who made me leave it at the door. furthermore, he continued to follow me wherever i went in the store, asking if he could help me find something, even after i said i'd been there several times before. Not a pleasant shopping experience and in the future, i think i'll take my gaming dollars to other gaming stores. read more

amazing customer service great prices Nice hours owner is simple amazing! lots of fun events family friendly knowledge is out if this world from employees analog solution for a digital world read more

TerraCrux - How cool this place is! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We've been visiting TerraCrux for a few years now and I have to say, of all the gaming stores we've been to in this area, TerraCrux is the best, hands down. Doug and his crew are just awesome people who are passionate about their niche and it shows. Always friendly, always ready to help out, and they go above and beyond to meet the needs of their customers. Doug remembered us after our very first visit, which speaks volumes about how much he cares about his customers. We love this place! read more

If I could rate this place higher I would. This business is more than a structure, more than capitalism. Terracrux is a community. When I say that I mean that it's a family friendly environment. All walks of life are welcome at the store and somehow it's safe and welcoming and everyone looks out for each other here, cliche it may sound. But trust it's truth! We have been to many other games stores from mox in Seattle to northwest games, gabbys in Olympia, it just doesn't have that feel that welcoming vibe and safe nature tereacrux oozes. Doug, the owner is key and reason he's a great guy, working HARD to make his dream work and it shows. Always ready to help or answer a question, tell a joke etc. I can't say enough fantastic things about Terracrux. Bring your imagination and check it out! read more

Friendly staff and a great selection of board games, trading card games and my personal favorites miniature tabletop games.

Check your receipts before leaving this place! I purchased 3 Warhammer 40k kits, and they overcharged me on 2. A box marked $38 cost me $42, and another marked $40 also rang up at $42. I've emailed them twice, zero response. Won't be shopping here again. read more

My biggest problem with gaming stores is you usually get one of two people greeting you as you walk in. Mall gaming stores who employ teenagers just in it for a job and who also know absolutely nothing about games or you get locally owned shops who typically employ people who are very shy, timid, or just not to personable and you don't get much help unless you speak their gaming language. That is not the case with TerraCrux, these guys are friendly as hell, knowledgeable, inviting and willing to walk around and tell you about every single game if you want them too. It is freaking perfect! Just went here for the first time and was walked around by one guy who told me about every single game in the shelf he could think of. Told me how good or bad games I was asked about were and even made recommendations on which games for which occasions I would be involved in. He honestly could not of been more helpful and this is huge for someone who is not up to date on the latest games or someone may not know what they're looking for. They have a great selection, lot's of tables in the back for gaming. They even have most of their games open for demo's and they even sit down with you to show you how to play almost every game in their shop. Seriously if you're looking for a gaming shop to find that perfect game for the night this is the place to go. Everyone working there was great and a pleasure to talk too. read more

This is a great game store. Very large, lots of stuff going on. Perhaps most importantly, very fair prices. The proprietor is really nice and very casual. Highly recommended if you're looking for board/card games in Tacoma. read more

I was trying to track down a game that I wanted give my brother but was having no luck. Options on Amazon were to have it ship in a month or pay twice as much! I then tried calling two other game stores in the area and they didn't have any copies. Terracrux not only looked it up in the system but double checked to make sure they actually had the copy. They put it aside for me so I could come pick it up later and the employees that helped me on the phone and in person were great! I'll definitely try here first the next time I'm looking for a new game! read more

I like this store. I came here on Tabletop Day '14, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We played games, it was fun! I would come here more often but the parking situation isn't great. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! Every time I go the customer service is always great. The owner Doug is a great guy and always goes out of his way to please. Hands down one of the best card/board/table top game store in the PNW! read more

Came in for a new board game, was introduced to the staff and gave me lots of suggestions. Very good experience and would recommend again.

Great customer service! My son is new at DND and Doug walked us through the basics and recommended The Player's Handbook, 5th Edition book, a set of special edition DND dice, character sheets and a small flat arena with sides to roll the dice in. Very helpful and inviting about using the space. Highly recommend. read more

I went here a couple times. They have a big space downtown that is at the end of the Link light rail from the Tacoma Dome park 'n ride. Very easy to get to. Their prices are reasonable. They have a good selection and the staff is friendly and helpful. They have space for in store gaming and a library you can use to try games before you buy them. A good game store conveniently located for those who are downtown. read more

I've been a tabletop gamer for about a decade now, and my girlfriend and I have gone to virtually every store in the Puget Sound area. Terra Crux is without a doubt our favorite. Great prices (comparable to what you'd find on Amazon), great selection, huge selection of demos so you can try it before you buy it, huge space and tons of tables for playing, and the guy who owns it and runs it is a really nice and helpful dude. Recommend this place to all my table-gamer friends. read more
