Lovely shop! So many game options! And there's a place to buy used games at a discount! And space…read moreto play games! Will certainly be returning for a board game date night there!

Out of the Box Games is simply toy store HEAVEN!!…read more I think if I would have known this store existed as a kid, my mom would have been in trouble!! Out of the Box has any toy /game /puzzle /book you could ever dream of, it's honestly SO astounding! Towards the back of the store is their collection of puzzles, and even though we've made our way out of complete quarantine (shoutout to all the puzzles we did last spring), that doesn't mean puzzles should go out of style!! They even have puzzles that are pictures of local spots and attractions like the Big Red Lighthouse in Holland! The collection of doll clothes they carry is super impressive and there are stuffed animals GALORE! Looking for a game for your next game night? Out of the Box is your place!! Their game section is HUGE and they sell games for all ages and interests!

Found this place thanks to Yelp because I'm trying to encourage my husband to try to find new…read moreplaces to go. Our go to place is FanFare but I convinced him that other places have a lot to offer. We came in here, he ended up selling a few things for store credit and we got a rainbow dice rolling tray and 2 packs of mtg cards. I was telling him about the card game tournaments they have here and when he got to Odyssey Games, there was a card tournament happening. He said he would be interested in coming back and a big factor was because the store was pleasant smelling (which is sadly not always the case for stores that are often inhabited by nerds). Added bonus: they sell gift cards. Will be back, hopefully for a tournament or dice.

Odyssey Games pretty much has a grip in the game store market in Kalamazoo so you pretty much have…read moreto go there but good news it's one of the best gamestores that I've been to it has a great selection of MTG,star wars legion, Warhammer, Chessex, Dungeons and Dragons, army painter,citadel and recently added valejo. With this much selection it's great (though would want to see historical miniatures) so if you're in Kalamazoo and into nerdy things this is a must stop.

This is by far the best place to buy Magic the Gathering Cards in the Grand Rapids area. The store…read moreis always clean and extremely well organized.

In terms of things to do in Grand Rapids, visiting House Rules nears the top of my list. I'm not a…read morebig beer drinker, so I had my doubts, but in addition to a half dozen fridges full of beer, they had plenty of non alcoholic drinks, as well as hard ciders, seltzers, and canned cocktails. Many brands were local that I'd never heard of before, and it was fun to experiment and try new things. Their food menu honestly shocked me with how tasty everything was. For a board game bar, I usually expect food to take a back seat or be phoned in, but everything was delicious! I had to try the elote deviled eggs, which was a combo I had never considered but I'm so glad someone did! I also got the truffle mac and cheese and a house salad. Both were excellent! The board game selection was extensive, with old favorites and hidden gems. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll be sure to stop in again!

My husband and I met some friends at House Rules. This is a great place where you can have a bite…read moreto eat, grab a drink, and play a game in a relaxed atmosphere. You pay for your table by the hour. You can pick from a wide range of games from their game library. You can also bring your own games or purchase one at the establishment. We played Chameleon while enjoying sandwiches and chicken tenders. The food was pretty good and made with local ingredients. You can order from a QR code on the table and the food is brought to your table. For dessert we ordered a cookie skillet. We had a good time at Hose Rules and highly recommend it.

I LOVE this place. I've become 2x the board game person than I was a year ago because of here. The…read moreowners can tell you about each game, how to play and anything cool about it. The best part for me is that they are priced the same if not extremely close to big box stores. For me that's a huge draw. I love shopping local but sometimes it's a hard pill to swallow when prices are double. Absolutely not the case here. I came in and they were sold out of a game. They apologized profusely and got me on the list when they restock. I love the little details like that. The membership is absolutely worth it if you're a regular game night type of person as well. They have your "normal" games, puzzles and can recommend games to look into. Lastly, be sure to check out their Facebook for any changes in hours or for event updates.

The cool thing about this place is that you can get a pass to play games in the back of the store, and you can even get an annual one. They have a sheet where you can right down game suggestions you'd like them to get in store (but there are so many options...so). They also sell used games. So definitely check out this place. It's a board-gamers heaven!
