This place has a lot of board games, terrain, miniatures, books and runs events all the time. Also a cafe attached. Love going in here and just browsing. Pricing is essentially MRSP.

I love this store.* This was 5years ago...Today I was less than thrilled when Rowan yelled at me during our transaction for the entirity of our interaction.

My favorite game shop in town. I rent games often ($5 for 3 days), and generally stop in when I'm at TnT or Mercado or Ottos. My kids love this place. They always want to buy dice.

Red Castle is my go to friendly local game store.They have a great selection of games, puzzles, miniatures, dice, cards and hobby accessories. Anything they don't have on hand can be easily special ordered by the friendly and competent staff. The community is very inclusive and there's something for people of all ages and nerdy persuasions.Red Castle also has tasty food and drinks for those who take part in any of their daily events and game nights.Special recognition goes to the manager Matt. He's extremely friendly, genuine and knowledgeable of all manners of games. He hosts a thriving skirmish wargame community and actively supports people on Discord.Matt provides immeasurable value to the store and is a key factor in Red Castle's continued success. Give that man a raise!

I went here with my partner this last weekend to meet up with a new group of friends. We wanted to go somewhere chill and talk about dungeons& dragons and maybe get something to drink or a bite to eat. I was extremely pleasantly surprised with this place. Not only where their energy drinks really good and affordable, but the food was really good too. My partner got fried pickles and said that they were some of the best fried pickles that they have had since they lived in the south. That is a huge compliment from them lol.The staff were all super friendly and just really lovely. The people at the front who are taking orders and making drinks were really sweet and made great recommendations. The people in the games store area were incredibly kind and giving compliments about what we were wearing. The game store itself was very clean, easy to navigate, they had a great selection of games and of TTRPG books. They had a really good selection of minis and it seemed like they had paints and such. There were a lot of dice and the place was just covered in board games.They have a private area that you can rent for I think $20 an hour but don't quote me on that because I don't work there, and the private area was a large room with a large table in the middle, A huge flat screen TV that had a webcam attached to it in case you had people that were remotely playing with you.Considering you can step outside the room and immediately order food and drinks, it was definitely worth $20 an hour. If you have three to four people to split the fee, it's even more affordable.I am absolutely going to go back here. I actually want to go back here this weekend. I want to buy some of their dice, I want to eat some more fried pickles or maybe mozzarella sticks or tater tots cuz those are my favorite things, I am craving their energy drinks which is weird for me, and I just really like this place.Should do yourself a favor and check out Red Castle games and eat some of the good food and drink one of the energy drinks... And plan a meet up for here because it was really chill.

Great place to play games. It’s become our preferred location for 40k if we can find a time they’re not busy. Good beers on tap and the food is simple but always surprises me with how tasty it is.

An absolute gem of a location. Whether you are visiting to play a hard-core tabletop game or just wat to play a casual game with friends, RedCastle is the place to go. Lots of table space and tons of available games and a truly killer cafe. The staff is beyond friendly too. My whole family has become fans. Highly recommend!

Excellent game store! D&D, MTG, 40K, Frosthaven, Puzzles, Dice, Tarot... and a bright, clean space to play! There's even a little cafe for snacks etc. I played commander on a Saturday with some strangers, it was organized yet casual enough that I felt welcomed and had a good time. I will be back frequently!

Came here recently with a friend and overall, had a blast. Came back to MtG after about a decade hiatus about spoke with someone (I think their name tag said Moe?) and they were both very friendly and informative!Prices on booster packs were better than I expected and I was honestly glad to support a LGS versus buying off amazon and likely getting a tampered pack.Friend and I ended up getting a pre-release pack and a handful of boosters, we got to sit down and just talk and explore MtG from a beginner's point of view inside the shop. It was a really nice relaxing experience. I didn't realize until leaving that there was a cafe within the shop and I just thought that was good shop design. From other reviews I've read, to sit down requires a cafe purchase (or product purchase in general?), that sounds pretty reasonable to me considering how many places these days just have people loitering around.A friend had recommended the place to me and I'm glad they did as I'm now probably also going to recommend the place to my friends. Will probably come back in the near future!

Great experience here! I sold mtg cards here that I found at Goodwill. I’m certain they made a tidy profit on me but that’s to be expected. What prompted me to come and review is how up front they were about what the selling process is (they look through everything themselves, no sorting needed, and if you decline what they’re offering you do get charged 10% or something thereabouts of what they’re offering). They offered me $175 in cash. I got a bunch of Pokémon cards on credit and took $100 in cash. It was a good experience and I’ll come here again if I find a good mtg stash at an estate sale. There were a few board games I wanted and when my son is older I hope I can drag him here and play mtg with him in some of their meetups. It was cool to see so many board game/ hobby gamers in one spot enjoying each others’ strategies and artwork.
