Extremely friendly staff. While they dont have the largest game selection, they do stock some games that cannot be found elsewhere. Half the store is dedicated to gaming and I cannot get over the happy atmosphere. Great local game store I would be happy supporting.

Good selection of games and miniatures. Adequate seating for in store gaming. Good library size of available trial games. Only lacking factor has constantly been paint/miniature crafting supplies available.

The owner and his staff are pretty cool and reasonable people, and I appreciate spending time at their business.On a related note, I also appreciate their hours too!Being open every single day of the week is a huge plus to people like me who have a hectic schedule enough as it is, so I find it extremely convenient that I can come in any day of the week and enjoy myself with my friends!Im proud to support this business and recommend it to my fellow friends and gamers

I just happened upon this store while on a business trip and was thoroughly pleased with the experience. The store is huge and well stocked with a large gaming area. The folks that I met there, both the owner and patrons, were very nice, welcoming and helpful. I will definitely be stopping by again when I swing through this area.

Everything a game store should, this is community style store designed for you to hang out in with your friends and possibly make new friends, stock is just as deep as any comparable store but the service and staff are miles better the power is regularly in the store as is willing to work to earn your business, wide selection of playable games in store minimum drinks and snacks but doesnt bar outside food great place to pursue your hobby and meet new friends

I have never been so embarrassed in my life as a customer. I went in asking about dice and one of the owners, the woman was so polite to me. The other owner, whom I assume is her husband by their interaction was just rude to her, not even to me. He was playing a board game and didn’t even bother to turn around to help. He gave barely any attention to her and humiliated her in front of me and the other people in the store. The way he talked to her was unprofessional and just down right disrespectful. When the woman apologized to me about not being able to build dice together out of loose dice, the owner, rudely, asked “what is there to be sorry for?” I don’t think I’ll be coming here again. Maybe think about how you talk to people and pay a little more attention instead of playing games and not helping?

Very nice place and very friendly people. Only down flaw is that there up chargeing on stuff.Like a starter box of pokemon which would normally be $10-15 was $20 because there in short supply not a fan of places that take advantage of situation like that but unfortunately alot of places are doing that now a days..

Never stepped foot in the store, but I ordered something from their store. They called me to confirm my information and sent it out the next day. I used to drive through Indianapolis all the time going from ohio to Illinois. I wish I had stopped there at some point. Would go any time 10/10

Cannot get any better than this place for the most complete selection of quality indie and huge niche games. If they don’t have it, they can get it for you or recommend something to tide you over if it’s just not available right now (looking at you “Wingspan”). Not to mention, they have so many collectible and open items and miniatures for your RPG needs and experts available to help guide you along if you’re a newbie. Keep it local and make a friend in the process- shop at Family Time Games!

This was so much fun! After trying out some of the games on the wall, we found two that we liked and may be purchasing in the future. Its also a great place to get supplies for miniature painting, which is another hobby of mine. They have paints, brushes, and the miniatures themselves! A lot was on sale, too. Will be returning!

Review №45

This place has phenomenal selection and the employees (as well as long time customers) are always glad to help you find something. I was looking for a gift for my husband and, knowing very little about what games were good, I was able to get a couple great ones with some excellent advice from who I think was the own. And I really appreciated that, despite being so knowledgeable in his own world of games, he didnt speak in technical jargon that would have been nonsense to me.

Ive been a long time patron of this wonderful store and wanted to express my full opinion on what I love about the store in general. Very large spaces for tables holding up to 6+ ppl at a single table and about 10 to 13 tables Im guessing dont take me by fact(call them). The owner and workers keep a wonderful atmosphere for family and friendly war parties alike. Great places for board games and tabletop fun, also starwars legion and magic on fridays, DnD campaigns on weds. Overall they have great selection of games of choice and wonderful reputation for good care of their customers.

Huge store with a wonderful, friendly staff. We stopped in on a rainy day just to look around but ended up staying 2 hours and demoing a bunch of different games out the their very large library. They recommended a game we all ended up really liking. Its nice that they dont charge to play (I almost felt bad that we spent so long in there and didnt spend anything except $5 on sodas).

This was a fantastic experience. My husband and I are avid boardgamers who relocated to Indiana from Arizona, and Ive never walked into a game store before filled with people who want to play with new people! We felt right at home and it was so great to meet other boardgamers. Upon walking in we browsed the inventory first and were quickly greeted by staff asking if we needed help or had any questions. Highly recommend! Saturday seems to be a popular day for boardgames as well as tabletop.

Review №65

A nice big selection of games and a area where you can play with friends. They let us in the day before they opened, because we thought it was already open and got to talk with the owner for a while. A very friendly person! They will help you recommend games that fit you and even the people that were playing at the tables were happy to help out! I understood you can rent games as well and buy them afterwards with a discount. Overall just a great store!

Greatest Board game store in Indy!! I always go here for games and the people are incredibly helpful! They host board game nights all time time and events. Shane is the owner and he is fantastic, knows his products up and down and just knows which games would be most fun to play based off your personality! Also if you don’t know if you will like the game they have a free library of games to try inside the store! Super fun, super friendly, massive variety of games of all styles!

Absolutely our favorite gaming store to play tabletop games in Indy! Always friendly and welcoming with good size tables, chairs, and easy to reach charging ports. Great snack and drink selection, and plenty of fast food options nearby to hit up with your party before or after the session. Very kind and safe environment for children looking to learn games with their parents too.

One of the best game stores I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. The staff are friendly and helpful, overall selection is quite good. The Adventurers League D&D games hosted on Wednesday nights are fantastic and there is almost always a seat available for new players, which is a huge improvement over other places Ive visited. Top notch store overall!

I stopped in looking for a specific game. The workers here and super nice and though it was out of print showed me an alternate option and put me on a waiting list. They also have demo games you can play so before you buy a $40+ game you can make sure you really enjoy it. Im glad I found this place and excited to go back to try out some games.

Before going to Family Time Games, I only played the classic games from my childhood like monopoly. They opened up a whole new world for me! They are absolutely amazing and incredibly helpful people. If you walk in and tell them what your favorite games are and what you like about those games, their recommendations are perfect. Every game I’ve bought there I have loved and played countless times.I’m also excited to buy their kids games once I have kids. They carry great educational games that are fun and help kids practice what they learn in school without the boring classroom aspect. They have games for all ages and levels of difficulty. If you have a bad experience here, you are doing something wrong.

Review №86

I went out of my way to drive an hour away. A Dungeon and Dragons section was held where the paints for miniatures are, couldnt see the paint selection and no one would move. The heroclix selection was nice, it was easier to get to. To pay we waited for a while, went to leave when the guy walked up to the register. Come to find out the whole time he was at the table behind us learning a new game. Like he said if he doesnt make sells he doesnt get to do what he loves. Having someone to check you out instead of leaving them there is a great way to keep doing what you love.

This place was a lot of fun! The games available, the friendliness of the people visiting, and the awesome staff, made this a great time! The draw back was old worn out carpeting and cluttered mess around some of the gaming tables. With a minor remodel/paint, 5 Stars for fun!

This is a game shop that REALLY takes amazing care of their customers. I have never been to a store that made me feel so overly welcome in my life. They have a great selection, a massive game library (so you can try out a ton of table top games) and a decent sized area to game. I can not say enough good things about this store.

Expansive store with all sorts of hobbies. Includes knowledgeable and helpful staff. Large area for playing games with a shelf of some you can try out. Its messy and cramped in the front while a ton of space sits unused in the back. Owners ought to consider reworking their layout.

Review №96

An average selection of games. A number of games are sun bleached from being next to the windows with no covering. Great open area for playing/demoing games. Prices are some of the highest among the local game shops, and many of the games that have sat on the shelves for years feature prices that are nearly double what youd find anywhere else. I have still purchased from them many times due to always keeping the newest games in stock.

Family Time Games is a truly excellent game store and hangout!Their selection of board, card, and miniatures games is quite extensive. Their demo wall is huge and includes some obscure and expensive titles to try before you buy. The staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help! There are over a dozen gaming tables, and everyone is welcome to come in, set up, and have fun!
