Overcharging on events, drafts and products (precons and bundles for MtG are $10-15 more than what you can find online/elsewhere). There's running a business and then there's overcharging, they need to take a serious look at their prices or will lose their customers to online retail.

One of my favorite places in Astoria that I don't stop in nearly enough. Also one of the few places that can feed my addiction of buying too many Digimon cards.

This place a hidden spot in the streets of Astoria and is hiding away from the busy steinway st. Very small shop has a few tables and is focused on MTG . They have other games such as the popular One Piece TCG and pokemon but they do not host events for those games. Store is ok nothing really to write home about tbh.

So yesterday I went to get some singles little cards. Why do I get little cards is because I know they are going to try and jack up everything so there is a card that is going for $18 online. Now today they have this card for $20 and I say OK and then ask for a bunch of other singles and then they say it's $25 now and they say no then I'm not taking it for 25 because you said it was $20 and they said I meant $20-$25 I said well then you can hold onto that then because I'm not gonna pay $25 for that card then they say OK I'll charge you $20 for the card and then I said fine but do you understand that is one of the problems with them I love it that they sell singles of all rarities but they do this all the time. So to make it a little easier for you, you would give a list on Discord and they will tell you OK we will sell it for this much money now you have to take a screenshot of that so that way when you go in person to pick up those singles and make sure, they give you for that much and that is usually not a problem because you were just going in there to pick up the order for the money you agreed to. The problem is that whenever you are trying to get a single on the spot they will definitely try to take advantage of the customer. It is not the first time they have done this to me. I purchased a single that online it sells for $.18 and they told me it's for $2.50. I was about vomit. Not just that but I used to play there for a couple of months. I would go there Friday Night Magic. It is for the draft but there is this one player where he cheats all the time and then his good buddy happens to be the owner (Kevin); when he's the judge owner and just says "I don't know" and then he gets away with it and I lose. I don't mind losing but if you're going to cheat and the judge is also corrupted, then I don't want to play there anymore which is why I have not played there Ever since then. Last night I played one game because I was just putting the cards that I purchased into my deck and the kid wanted to play so badly a match and so we played. It was done in like maybe 15-20 minutes. I don't mind going there, but if you're going to not only cheat as the "judge" but then tell your employees to jack up the prices multiple times on the same day I'm like no thank you. I really really hope people read this and I'm sure the owner will ban me from the store but I think TCG player.com would be more helpful which sucks because I did like this place but I mean being there you'll learn you'll listen. Also, it is tiny over there so whenever they have an event it's so packed. Good things is the selection. The staff are god people (I just don't like how they try to scam you right there.

I liked the vibes. It seemed welcoming and friendly. I see tons of board games, Pokemon card, and fun educational stuff. They have all kinds of toys and games. It's chock full of cool items for gifts. I noticed they have a spot in the back that you can play games per hour. I'm not sure the hourly fee, but it's worth asking if you like to play board games and not sure if you want to buy it yet. I would recommend this spot to others.

A gem in Astoria. A gem in New York City. There are very few places that exist to build community, but Gamestoria remains as a place where people can gather around play. It also might be the one place that actually values customers who frequent their store. A big thank you to the team who helped me today. It’s the type of customer service you hope still exists. I can’t wait to come back again on another day I really need a pick me up. Thank you!

It’s a small shop that can get a little tight, which is a tad annoying. Yet, that’s just NYC living so can’t fault the business for that. Otherwise, I do love this place and have respect for the owner. I will continue to support and buy their singles and retail products over TCGplayer/Amazon whenever there’s an opportunity to support them.

This is clearly a hidden gem that can serve as an amazing community gather spot. I came in looking for puzzles and they had a bunch. The front area is reserved for a series of games that you can buy. The back section is where you can play games that you either hit or they have games that you can play. The games - like the puzzles were pricey. The puzzles were $20+. To play it costs $10 per person and if you buy a game worth $20 then you do not need to pay the $10 fee. I like the space and the workers here seem great. They are very friendly and I can tell that they are very passionate about working here

Always a great experience at Gamestoria. Friendly folks who know their stuff, a good selection of games, and a loyalty program make this a regular destination.
