“Awesome service, the people helping me find things were so nice and helpful. The game section where we tried out games was so much fun and is where I got some of my favorite games.”
“So somehow I never actually left a review for game Kastle, despite playing Warhammer there weekly for almost 2 years so here's me rectifying that!
This store is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff, great community, great selection of games (they have so many board games), and a very good selection of paints (at least for Warhammer, don't know about non-wargame applications). The fact that it's a bit out of the way for me coming from Bethesda is outweighed by the fact that it's just an amazing game store. If you're interested in any of the games they hold regular events for, please consider going and supporting them.”
“The staff are very helpful and friendly. They help me with everything I needed. Get my Traxxas Maxx I would recommend them to anyone. It's worth the ride. I drove 41 minutes and I was in and out. Their website is very helpful too it lets you know what they have in stock and not in stock I will be visiting again soon. Thank you. Hobby works”
“This art supply store was super stocked with all materials I needed for my college level painting class. The two helping me, Cheryl and Georgia, were both so kind and understanding as it was my first time being in the store helping me find my items and eve giving me a free tote bad. While checking out, Cheryl even signed me up to get 10% off all purchases because I am a student. I will definitely be coming back to restock my supplies later this semester!”
“This Michael’s has some of the best employees of any retail chain. Everyone is consistently helpful and kind. I have had many pieces framed here over the years and the framers have never disappointed me. The team has an excellent eye for color and design.”
“This is a fantastic hobby store. It is the only hobby store that is metro accessible and within driving distance in the DMV area. They have a large amount of tables that can serve as tabletop gaming tables or card tables, they have a huge range of products going from your classic Warhammer to historicals, Star Wars, and other genres. In addition to that, the staff pride themselves on creating an inclusiveness atmosphere where all are welcome to game, and cleanliness of the store. I highly recommend for anyone on the DMV area to make this store your hobby place.”
“House of Cards in Silver Spring is hands-down the benchmark for what a local card shop should be. The staff knows their inventory inside and out — from vintage staples to the latest hobby boxes — and they treat every customer like a valued collector, whether you’re chasing high-end hits or just starting out.
What sets this place apart is the culture. It’s not just a store; it’s a genuine community hub for collectors. You can tell the owners have built their business around passion and integrity, not just transactions. The pricing is fair, the selection is always fresh, and the atmosphere is pure hobby energy — no gimmicks, no attitude.
If you’re in the DMV area and serious about the hobby, this is a must-visit. House of Cards delivers the perfect mix of professionalism, product knowledge, and old-school card shop vibe in an updated store that’s hard to find these days.”
“Frank is the absolute best. I walked in and explained that I wanted to gift myself a Perfect Grade RX-93 V-Gundam for my birthday, Frank took my number down and I had it within a week. It's always a pleasure stopping in. And being next to Rocket Fizz is an added plus.”
“This lobby hobby is just as good if not better than my use to be favorite location. Well stocked & the assistance at framing exceptional. This location next door to Total Wine... a perfect combination 😍”
“Well, they didn’t have the specific glue I was looking for – crafters pic, the staff there was extremely friendly and helpful. I was making a purchase for a class I’m teaching and had an tax exempt certificate. Although it took us half an hour to get me checked out, Two of the staff member learned how to process a tax exempt sale. So it was a win all the way around.”
“Last Wednesday, I walked in just 30 minutes before closing needing 24 balloons for our 7 AM grand opening—and Tina and Kristina didn’t hesitate. They jumped right in and had everything ready in 20 minutes.
Thank you both for your professionalism, efficiency, and for helping make our grand opening a success. That level of customer service is rare to find in the city these days, and it truly stood out.”
