“Mike was so welcoming. As first timers, my boyfriend and I were a little apprehensive on how to begin our journey in Warhammer. Mike explained paint types and techniques to get us through our paint & take session. Great store!”

“The finest place with the finest things! Grails from the 90s to white hot new releases. Excellent LGS! Huge selection of unique minis and paints. They’ll have anything you need to get your next project done. Excellent game space with very high quality one of a kind terrain to play with. Many large high top tables and private rooms. Cool customer loyalty program that has been going for 15+ years. A true gem! Thank you! PS- The staff is awesome and receptive to checking stock within reason, don’t be one star guy who didn’t get his Pokemon that one time ? The boxes just hit different at G+ Be sure to stop in to preorder early in this crazy market”

“I've been coming here for almost a decade. Originally as a board game collector but more recently as a Warhammer player. Excellent store for many different kinds of games and the staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Also a great spot for Magic the Gathering and other card games.

My go to gaming store for a long time!”

“I called looking for Yupo Translucent Paper on 11 x 15. They didn't have that size but a smaller alternative and put it aside for me to pick up. Once I arrived, I quickly received the paper that we discussed.

However, I asked about other translucent options. The staff that helped me was delightful. They listened to my needs and offered several alternatives. In the end, I purchased a different medium that better suited my needs.

As I said, the staff catered to my requests. The store was clean and provided a multitude of options.”

“One of the best things about having a hobby is going into a hobby shop and finding that the people working there are even bigger fans than you. They have a great selection of model railroad equipment and much more. Everyone I've spoken to is beyond friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Lyle and Geroge (hope I spelled your names correctly) for really taking their time and providing great customer service.”

“I love how they make military style legos vehicles, tanks, planes and mini figs. Very friendly and nice. Great service. Answered all my questions. The only bad part is the sets are expensive. I would go back again”

“First time getting an oversized poster framed with their department and was blown away by it.

The clerk that helped me, Allison, was greatly helpful in designing the frame for the poster and offered several coupons to lower the price.

Once confirmed, it actually took less time than estimated (1 week instead of two) and came out wonderfully. It was expensive, but the end result was fantastic and I will definitely be back for more custom framing projects.”

“My son and I bought his first model last week. The type you break off and glue together, piece by piece. Super excited to start it. We downloaded a 20% off coupon in store and saved about $5.”

“I would like share my experience today with an exceptional employee at this location. Pedro is his name and works in the framing department. He spent so much time with me trying to get my photos from my phone to a canvice picture. Unfortunately it was not going to work in the size I wanted. I'm still going to work on other options he suggested. Great customer serve. Hopefully I can work with Pedro again.”

“Cool little spot. Took my 6 year old boy for 30 minutes and he loved it. They charge $5/15 minutes of racing and have better deals if you own your own car. Staff was friendly, helpful, and didn’t mind answering all my weird questions on the hobby.”

“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
