Welcoming to those on the autism spectrum. High quality on every level. On a Saturday afternoon, young and old were playing games and milling about as if the world was not about to end. I think the owner, Phil is spiking the experience with kindness. Watch out.

Amazing store. Pittsburgh is lucky to have several amazing game stores and this is no exception. The owner (Phil) is always kind and enthusiastic, the free play area is cheap and welcoming, and the coffee and treats at the Dragon Roast are wonderful as well. Easy recommendation.
