Their game selection is competitively priced, and they have a pretty good selection of games to purchase. The staff is all friendly and helpful, the the clientele is very welcoming as well. I feel comfortable in there any day I go in, and can normally find someone to sit and play a game with. They also carry a lot of tcgs, and singles. I frequently come in to play D&D, demo boardgames, or play in the Game of Thrones LCG 2nd Edition Tournaments! I highly suggest for anyone who is looking for a FLGS in Naperville or the surronding area!

My brother is a big gamer, and I also enjoy board games, so my family swung in here while having…read morelunch in Downers Grove. There were lots of board and card games of all sorts, as well as dice, miniatures and paints, and a gaming area for community games. I appreciate that the rules for the space are clearly posted on the wall behind the register, so the expectation for everyone is established (I would imagine it makes it easier for staff to enforce as well, because they can just refer to the sign). The clerk was very friendly and gave me some info about a game I was interested in (a collaborative version of "The Fox in the Forest"; my fiance and I love the original version), which I ended up purchasing! Glad to support a local business! I'll be back for more games.

I'm not a "regular" patron of Fair Game, but it's a shop I love to pop into every couple of months…read moreto pick up hobby supplies like paint, brushes or the occasional model kit. Every time I've ever stopped in, I've been treated kindly & with respect by the staff working there - which is *not* a given when you're a solo guy with tattoos shopping alone, trust & believe that. A really helpful & nice gentleman named Jackson showed me the "buy 1, get one 1 free" deal they were running for some of their paints. He made the process of shopping for/choosing different colors or different formulas really easy, & honored the deal fairly! He was helpful & cool. Anyone who is into wargaming, table top miniatures etc KNOWS that any kind of buy 1, get 1 deal on high end paints like Citadel, Vallejo or Army Painter is an insanely good value. Also, there has always been some kind of community gaming event happening whenever I've stopped in; which tells me it's *clearly* an important hub for the TCG/TWG community. As a hobbyist, grateful to have the store around. (PS, if you stock the new GW Aeldari kits for Lhykhis, Baharroth, or Swooping Hawks, I'd buy them)

I didn't realize there was a game shop in Geneva but we passed by while wandering through the…read moreshops. It's a large store, which is good for their in-store events (it looked like they have a MtG night, at least; not sure if they have a board game meetup as well). They had a display of Ticket to Ride in the wind wand though I know there are plenty of board gamers who turn their nose up at that one I am a fan. I've been wanting to add a copy of the France/Old West version to my collection because that one has my hometown on the Old West side of the board and I was happy to find multiple copies here so I snagged one. I was with a friend who hasn't really played board games all that much, but she picked up a copy of TTR Asia to try sometime too. The guy running the shop was pretty friendly, and had an extended conversation with another couple in the store and was helpful when I had questions about another game or two I was looking for. This soup is open later than some of the others in the area too, which makes me think that they must have at least a few events that take place throughout the week. There's no dedicated parking, it's all street parking along State.

All in all, I highly recommend Hot Sauce Games!

I just experienced my first and last time in the store. The card selection was a bit overpriced,…read morebut the real disappointment was in the way that fellow card players have shown themselves to be a toxic and a loudmouthed community. One player in particular went out of his way to more or less yell that people playing a particular deck are "pieces of $hit.". Well needless to say I have far better things to do on a Saturday night then be verbally berated. I won't be back to this store and will actually be reporting them to riot games.

I Have bought from a few times and the cards are always priced fairly. But this last I went in I…read morechecked out an Umbreon & Darkrai Tag team card I looked at the price and figured the card would be in mint condition. Upon further inspection the card condition was moderately played and priced as a mint copy of $225, a Moderately played copy is $83 as current market. I asked the employee who was super understanding about the issue and knew the card wasn't the cleanest nor the most mint looking card. He had told me if I wanted to see if the manager was cool with lowering the price, I put down my information and waited for the managers response. Where he wouldn't lower the price but by $25. I argued I'm not paying $200 for a card that is worth $83 in that condition. He didn't seem to care and stayed firm on his $200. Any one shopping at this location should make sure their prices are reasonable and fair for the card. Sucks that this ruined my experience with this shop and I'll be happy to spend my money elsewhere.

So full disclosure: I don't play Warhammer!

Enter Larry, store proprietor, who did not gatekeep me for not being a gamer and gave me some useful tips as well.

I bought what I was looking for (Citadel Agrax Earthshade) and can't wait to test it out on some "used universe" minis to grunge things up. :) Thanks to Larry for the assistance and the addition to my crafting arsenal.

Warhammer is the pinnacle, but there are plenty of other options as well, like D&D! They also have Magic, The Gathering and other popular card games, though I didn't see Pokemon among the display cases. The gaming side is top of the line, with plenty of tables and terrain for hours of battle. I fancy myself more of a painter than a gamer and I was impressed with the options for paint, brushes, and tools they had available. I didn't buy anything on my first visit, but my son and friends felt welcomed and were treated kindly, even as teenagers (typically, this has been a challenge). I'm looking to paint an army of space marines soon, so I'll be in to grab some washes and metallics. This place is nerd nirvana.
