    Nice, unique store! Great if you're looking for something different. A little pricey, but worth looking around!

    Actual Rating: 3.8 This review is for the downstairs play…read more It's a place where you just grab a table with your friends and then grab a game from their huge rack of games. Then of course, play and enjoy! Place: This playing area as I said earlier is down the stairs near the entrance. It's a lot more spacious than I would have thought, and it's pretty clean. They also have long tables which can easily each seat around at most 8 people. Activity: There's a lot of boardgames that you can play and of course, it's a first come, first serve type of thing so if the game you wanted to play is already being used, then you're gonna have to find another game to play. For me, I did not know many of these boardgames, but for those who collect and play numerous boardgames, you may know these games. Or just like me, you may not. But I think that's even better. If you haven't played the game yet, then have fun trying it out! *Since this place is a store, you can buy any of the boardgames there that caught your fancy upstairs. Price: It's free. Can it get better than that?!

    I've lived in Binghamton for about four years, and was always shocked that the community didn't…read moresupport a good solid board game store. Well, now we've got one. In mid August, Jupiter Games opened on the Vestal Parkway (in the Plaza with Rite Aid, across the parking lot from Olums and Staples). This is a great game store. Personally, I'm a big fan of many of the "Euro-style" board games such as those produces by Rio Grande games. Most game stores tend to lean towards only carrying trading card games, or Miniature driven games such as Warhammer. Jupiter has a good selection of those games, but also carries a huge variety of card games, jigsaw puzzles, family games, strategic titles, and the Euro-games that I love. I make it a habit to visit gaming stores whenever I travel (God I'm a geek!)--and I'd stack this one up against anything that I've seen when I've traveled. They will be sponsoring tournaments, offer free wi-fi in store, and will be holding periodic Friday night game nights. We now have an excellent resource for gamers in the area--let's support it to keep it successful!

    When planning our return trip to Ithaca, my mate found it a bit bizarre how bent I was on visiting…read morethis one particular store, but as soon as he entered, his heart fell in sync with mine. We had been playing the spy game that the local shops had rallied together for, and not only did she make sure we got our letter, but she tipped us off to make sure we could fully enjoy our game. Like the shop, she was an absolute delight. (My mate said that she seems like an older version of me, so excuse my bias. If I'm as friendly and personable as her, heck if I work in a toy store like her, when I get older, I'll be ecstatic.) If you're just looking for me to talk toys and not associates, trust me, that's golden too. We're both in the latter half of our twenties, but I think I lost two decades of stress in that place. There are puppets and trinkets and so many affordable toys that I left behind, opting for two rubber duckies to add to my collection. Reverse time and drop by to get yourself an ooze dribbler. It's hypnotic, like this place, and you'll be glad you did.

    A fun store to visit no matter how old you are. In the historic Dewitt Mall along with Ithaca…read moreGuitar Works, Moosewood restaurant and the Cafe Dewitt. Fun browsing and a great place to pick up little somethings.
