Born to Game

I was very disappointed with my visit at born to game. After being excited about buying Pokemon, I was ultimately told my $100 bill was fake and that all 5 of them that I had presented to the Manager “Mike” he told me my money felt fake, even after putting the marker to the money and triple checking it with the light test. I politely left the store went next door to another buisness where I was able to convert my cash into smaller bills. As I was walking back into Born to Game I overheard Mike and another female talking about how I was trying to get over on them. Again I tried to purchase the same product, I told Mike my money was real and he said my comment was uncalled for and asked me to leave, I said him insinuating I have fake money as a customer is uncalled for. I respect all establishments and even in this instance tried to give a second chance, I’ve also had a previous encounter where he insinuated I was trying to sell them fake Pokemon cards.

I stepped into the store and the camaraderie and community of people was wonderful to witness. I was blown away with the sheer size of the location along with all the different gaming options carried. I went in with some information and tons of questions during a busy Monday night. I left with the perfect precon deck (and all necessary accessories) along with much more knowledge due to the friendliness of the staff and players. Blake spent the most time with me over two days and helped get me some loose cards to upgrade my deck and asked a few regulars to invite me in to play and relearn MTG again the following Friday for Magic night. I absolutely recommend this LGS to anyone starting at the beginning all the way up to “experts” to stop by this location for any and all gaming needs. Thank you in advance for all the future questions I’ll be bringing 😅 but most importantly the community you’ve created that welcomes newbies in so easily with a passion for sharing what they know.

This place is chock full of collectibles of many different things. Went looking at Pokemon cards with my grandson the staff was fantastic with him. They took plenty of time to explain the value of cards and the proper way to keep them. Appreciate the patience shown

This place is an EPIC hidden gem. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, with a specific shout out to Blake because he is HIM! I’m a total noob to modern pokemon collecting and just getting back into the scene and he spent almost the entire time (it was at least an hour) letting me look through their binders and searching the store, didn’t make me feel rushed or in the way, introduced me to the Dex app, and even helped me pick out the perfect pikachu card for my nephew (a flying pikachu vmax for anyone wondering). He was so much fun to talk to, and he even showed me his personal collection which was just SO FREAKING COOL! I loved getting to see such an awesome PC that is clearly cared for and has a lot of effort put into it. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for cards from just about any TCG to go there bc even if you don’t find your chase card, you’re sure to find some cool stuff and cool people! They have a ton of cool retro games (yes I’m including original Xbox and PlayStation as retro, we are getting old, sorry about it 😂😂😭) , comic books (raw and graded), a huge array of board games, and of course, everything a tcg player or collector could ever want or need. I just wanna finish this unnecessarily long review by saying: thank you so much again Blake. I have autism and severe social anxiety and was incredibly nervous about coming in, but you (just like the people who inspired me to get back into collecting) were so kind and generous and made me feel welcome and excited to rejoin this community. You ROCK! And good luck with your Septile collection!!!

I come here pretty often, at least once a week. I've never found a more generous, kind and accepting staff and community anywhere else. Even if I'm having a bad day I still leave with a smile on my face. Blake, Connor and Mike are all super awesome (and deserve raises). The store is like extended family.
