The Guildhouse

The Guildhouse is a wonderful hole-in-the-wall game shop... Franklin has needed one for awhile now. It's my go-to store, and now I try to attend multiple times per month to play with new friends on local game nights (I play Sorcery, join us every other Thursday!). Steven, the owner, is a wonderful guy and has done a great job with the store!

Cool store in downtown area. My husband and kids enjoyed it and purchased several pokemon cards. There's a great indoor seating area for moms ;)

Super cool spot right in downtown Franklin. Great place to shuffle up and play. Plenty of board games to choose from along with MTG The Gathering, Pokémon, and Warhammer 40k. They host fun kids board game nights with kind and gentle instructions. A must see!!

This is a wonderful, family-friendly game store located in the heart of Downtown Franklin! It’s a great place to spend hot or rainy days with your family or friends playing games, trading Pokémon cards and purchasing unique board games. It’s truly a place that appeals to all ages. We can bring our almost 16-year-old and our 9-year-old and spend several hours here. My son is excited to have a Pokémon birthday party here in the Winter, too! I love how well the space was designed and thought out, including the snack section that my kids love to visit continually while we’re there (my kids have a lot of allergies and there are a lot of allergen-free options for them). I especially love that they have coffees and charcuterie boxes available for me. If you want to learn a new board game, Steven, the owner, can teach you while you’re there, which is so great because learning a new game is daunting for us. Steven is so personable and loves interacting with people of all ages and their family has made this place so fun and wonderful, thinking of everything you could possibly want in a charming store in Franklin. Highly recommend!

We stopped in to check out the shop and had an amazing experience. The owner was incredibly welcoming, took the time to explain several different board games to us, and had genuinely great conversations that made us feel right at home. The space itself is beautiful, clean, and very family-friendly. It’s the perfect place to discover and try new games, whether you’re a longtime board game enthusiast or just getting started. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into creating an inviting atmosphere for everyone. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend stopping by and checking it out!
