Comments: The one time I’ve been here, I was immediately engrossed in a debate about how a certain character in the board game Warhammer 40K works in relation to movement and powers. Engrossed meaning I was eavesdropping on it while I browsed the multitude of things they sell here. It was a passionate conversation, made me want to pick up the hobby myself!

There was table after table of people playing Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer 40K, and all sorts of games. If that’s your kind of thing, this is your third place. It's not a huge space, but they use what they have well. It's mostly larger tables for group seating, fitting the store's theme of hosting game parties.
