I'm very new to card collecting and was a little hesitant to stop in at first, but the owner was super polite and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything I wanted to know about TCGs (even though I'm sure some of my questions were a bit silly). It's obvious that he really enjoys the hobby, and it was great talking to someone that has years of experience to pull from. The store itself is also amazing! The castle aesthetic is very unique and fitting, and the variety of cards and tabletop games/supplies I saw was, honestly, above and beyond what I expected. They have weekly game nights as well, and if I ever make the leap from just collecting to playing, this place will be at the top of my list. Whether you've been collecting/playing for years or just getting started, I'd absolutely recommend dropping by!

Stopped in today during some work travel. The owner is a really friendly guy that's knowledgeable about tons of games. The aesthetics of the place are AWESOME, and I definitely plan to come back for a Magic draft night or commander night. It was pretty quiet when I visited, but if the owner is as cool as he is, I bet the player base is great to play with. Highly recommend!

Tim the owner was great, the shop is above and beyond the quality of this town despite what the owner says. I came to it since I rarely go to large game shops. And this one was huge. Six warhammer tables, things sitting almost everywhere. A huge selection of books, cards of at least five games, tons of board games, at least one commander game going. The place seems to prioritize playing warhammer and painting minis. But there wasn’t any large games going on while I was there. They have a bathroom, no drinks but I was told that would change, sheets across the street. Friendly people (Jessie and her husband comes to mind). The only issue was that this was a 10/10 shop in a 6/10 town. Few players but I’m sure that would be different for a pre release. Every single thing you could want was there and I had a blast knowing that there was at least one vampire group going in town. But there weren’t many players, but the ones that were there were welcoming. As was Tim.

Went to the store twice and both times I like the customer service the guy there is very helpful and he could tell you things for days about warhammer40k factions, he knows what he's talking about and both times he was always friendly. He gave me tips on painting and now I can grow being a painter. So you can never go wrong with this store to purchase some table top games.

Welcome to the castle! A gamers guild growing indeed. From tabletop in-store playing options to miniatures, board games, card games, and rulebooks. Check it out. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable.
