Halcyon Games

Store was up charging $37.00 for a booster box compared to market value and other local game stores. Staff was rude and very disrespectful communicating that they don’t price match. We will not be back.

I came into the store on my birthday, last March 18th. I was already having a terrible day, having spent most of the day in the hospital visiting family there. I just wanted to look at some cards, maybe buy something if I found something I wanted, and have a place to sit down and play some cards with my best friend. I’m a stay at home father to two toddlers, so having a nice place to play and recharge without having to watch my kids for a bit is important to me. Well the magic card singles the store had didn’t have anything that enticed me but my buddy spent about $30 on a Fallout Crucible of Worlds. Then we said we wanted to sit down and play some games in the totally empty room in the back and the guy behind the counter said it would be about 8 bucks for each of us, just to sit down at their tables and play, AFTER my friend had just spent $30 on a single card. I had been to the store multiple times before and never been charged, but today of all days this dude decides he can’t let the 8 bucks slide. I have very limited time left in my birthday, like I said before, I already spent most of the day in the hospital, so I don’t want to spend another 30 minutes driving to the next best store, so my friend caves and pays $16 more bucks for the privilege of us sitting down for a few hours. The guy behind the counter tries to make the charge seem justified by saying we can have our pick of their common bulk bin, but that is far from worth the price of admission. This experience was a real shame because I liked coming to this store previously. They have the cleanest and best restrooms of any card shop I’ve ever been to and they are also really kid friendly. I could have seen myself coming here for years and eventually bringing my kids. But paying just to sit down and play in an empty room is just outrageous. No other card store I’ve ever been to has charged me just to sit down.

Came out for their MTG store championship. At no point where we told the store did not have the promotional cards for the championship. We only found once once the players in the last match wanted to split what should have been the two first place cards. In every other store championship I have participated at these store they have given packs for winning you matches. They did not do that this time as well. You think they might have tried to do that to make up for not having the promos or making people aware they didn't have them. ***UPDATE 5.23.26*** Another horrible experience for the Secrets of Strixhaven store championship. Some of our play group(not i, as I refuse to go to this store anymore) showed up for the scheduled store championship. Due to lack of attendance(which happens here often), it did not fire. They are well within their right to no start any event if their minimum has not been met as frustrating as it may not be. I do have an issue with their employees showing up to other stores and showing off the promos from that event in their collection. Again horrible location when it come to any event and I do not understand how they are still one of the few WPN Premium store here in the Houston area.

Firstly, easily the cleanest shop i’ve ever stepped foot in. Stopped by since I was in the area and wanted to eat my lunch. They were very welcoming and knowledgeable about MTG stuff. I was informed no MTG events were happening there and typically there are players on Tuesday and Friday. I found some pretty mats (they make holo mats now???) and bought one to finally begin playing on instead of using my mousepads. I was reading one of their posters about the store rules, and one of them was about basic hygiene and common courtesy. It instructed people to make use of the free toothbrushes and deodorants in the bathroom which I thought was a joke. Later I ended up going to the bathroom and was amazed at how prepared it was. Truly does have toothbrushes and deodorant. There are flushable wipes for your bottom, body and face wipes if you haven’t showered, and tissues and feminine products. Its kind of unreal how clean I felt being in the bathroom. I just wish it wasnt so far away from my home, since Ill likely never come by again unless I move to Spring or something. Worth dropping by though!!

I just was able to visit this shop yesterday and the workers were so amazingly nice! I was so impressed how welcoming they were to new people and willing to explain to a newbie like me. I will definitely be back to play some Pokémon! They also have other games like magic, the gathering dungeons and dragons, Warhammer and etc.
