Really supported this place and loved to buy things here, but after the mandates its made it hard for me to support it. Went there with a couple friends, and was asked to leave because I didnt have a mask. I even asked if they had disposable masks that I could use which they didnt have. Really sad to see how a place I loved to support has turned against me so quickly. If you require me to have a mask, please offer disposable ones instead of throwing out a supporting customer. I want to support local businesses during this time, but unfortunately its makes it hard to do so when they dont even offer basic accommodations to allow you to shop there. Sorry Astral, I loved your selection, and even before all of this, I loved your staff, but Im unsure how to feel about my support after this.

Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. The owners are even more so. So much variety, cards, comic books, miniatures dice, and games. Places to play anything and everything. MTG, is a new old love of mine. I cant wait to get the new D&D mtg cards.

Fantastic store, but even more amazing is the owner. He took my impoverished brother to get vaccinated because he couldn’t ever find a ride to get himself protected. I owe you one from the owner of the DragonVine store chain.

Place is way to overpriced walked in to see their magic selection saw they still had time spiral remastered, First red flag, second red flag was how much most of the boosters were. I can still get kahns off ebay for 5 bucks yet here sits 12 bucks for a booster. Will be taking my business elsewhere.

We were traveling for my husbands work and like to stop at all the local game stores. This store was AWESOME! Organized, clean and inviting; the workers were super friendly and knowledgeable. The board game selection was one of the best Ive ever seen. Seriously worth making the stop on our way thru.

Great local game store! Wonderful part of the community! Always neat things and people here. Very knowledgeable staff and customers! Pricing isn’t exactly the best but for being at a specialty shop it’s about average. Huge selection or all sorts of things! Plus an arcade area and other rooms set up for specific gaming sessions!

Review №26

Excessively overpriced. Selling $50 boxes for $100. I understand a mark-up, especially on hyped up items, but doubling the price is ridiculous. Makes the whole place seem shady to me.

I had a great time at Astral Games. Lots of stuff I have been looking for. Nice open layout. Nice gaming in the back. Table top games rocking all am from what I saw. Overall I enjoyed it alot.Edit: So my family has been shopping here awhile now and I enjoy the staff and owner. Today they were having a group who taught kids magic the gathering. I would definitely recommend shopping here.

A dedicated and engaged owner, knowledgeable staff and a great comic shop atmosphere. This place is a true haven for geeks and gamers of all kinds, and the BEST source in the valley for dice, miniature games and figures, tabletop roleplaying games, exciting and unusual board games, collectible card games, etc. They also have an annex with exciting video games as well! Oh, and for those special geeks in your life where you never know what to buy them for a gift? Check out the huge assortment of collectibles they stock, theyre awesome!

Astral Games is an incredible store. The service is exceptional, and every employee is knowledgeable about the gaming products they sell. They specialize in pretty much every form of tabletop gaming (Pathfinder, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering, Warhammer, Pokemon TCG, boardgames, etc). Theyve also got a great gaming space where you can gather with friends or other members of the Astral community. Speaking of the community, Astral Games best feature, in my opinion, is that strong sense of community theyve created. Really great game shop.

Review №38

Astral is a great spot. They have a bunch of board games and other unique items. They have tons of space for magic the gathering, board games, and other event stuff. There is also a huge wall of consoles to play video games on. This is a great space for anyone to enjoy. I see people from all age ranges here and all background types. All of the communities seem open to new players too.

Review №40

Great Selection of Games!!!Astral is very Magic heavy, which is great if youre in to that, but over the last couple years, theyve really boosted their board game inventory. If youre looking for a modern or euro game, they will most likely have it.Magic isnt the only card games they have either, plenty of other options as well as RPG source books and plenty of war game models.

Such a great store.Huge selection of games. I wished they carried a larger variety of comics so I could bring my comic business to this store as well.

Review №42

The atmosphere here is incredible. Staff is always friendly and ready to help. The regular patrons are, for the most part, extremely kind and very willing to help anyone who walks through the door. Whether it be learning Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons, or Warhammer. Patrons and staff are one in a million.Events are held regularly, the environment is very family friendly. Its hard to write a review that can truly explain how amazing this place is.

Me
Review №43

Its supposed to be a community hangout, but new restrictions are making the place less friendly for campaigns and serious gamers. No outside food or drink, and the management has put guidelines in place that allow employees to discriminate against whomever they like, more freely: such as being able to kick people out with no warning over alleged odor. The changes are worrisome for the community, but hopefully it works out.

Aaron and the crew are great people and do a great job facilitating all types of games from board games and table top games to a whole room devoted to video games and arcade machines.

Nice place. Plenty to do and see. Video games, card games, VR, and most of the comics you could ask for. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They seem to be really knowledgeable about anything I could ask them. In general, just a nice place to go.

A good gaming space. This place was nice and had a good selection of comics and core rulebooks for Role Play Games. They had a lot of the popular generic games one would expect but a few oddities which I was surprised by, like Blue Rose (an AGE system based RPG.)They had a nice looking gaming space with clear rules posted about what patrons could and couldnt do.The staff was okay. The greeted my wife and I and helped us to look at things inside their counter. They werent too talkative to us but it was near opening so they could have been busy.Overall, I would stop by again if I am in the area.

These guys have been around a while and the owner is a great guy. This place provides not only great options/selections for just about anybody, but also hosts events and is just a great place to spend your day at in general.The staff are patient -and- engaging (with all ages)There is hosted events close to every day with prizes, and the staff look out for the kids/ customers for when unwelcomed individuals pop in and are disruptive.A much needed addition to the community

A step-up in location from their previous store, awesome game store with a huge variety of products and events.Small wargaming room in the back and plenty of room in the front for any kind of gaming you might desire.Trading card games tend to be the most-played, but this is more a result of popular demand than anything else.

Review №63

A big improvement over the last time I was here. They had a lot more stuff in the store. Good prices and all of the comics were bagged and boarded and not all tore up and wrinkled on the shelf which is a big plus for me example not shopped a place thats not bagged and boarded.

I went in there and it reminded me of North Medfords Game Club. It had a familiar vibe and people there were very friendly. Prices seemed to be higher than say Barns & Noble for some things but it wasnt over priced as far as I could tell. I definitely will go back there when I can. If you are in the area of the place it is worth a look around and maybe a stop and shop.

Reviewing the only game/comic store in Medford seems sort of silly. Its the only game in town ( pun intended) so who cares if it sucks. Well, I do. I lived near the bay area of California, and in Portland. This is not a 4 star in either of those places. But for a store in Southern Oregon, Astral Games is quite good. Staff have always been friendly, and I have never run into the no social skills people you often find at these smaller establishments. The selection of board games is quite good and they carry current run comics as well. You can find Warhammer, Warma-hordes, Magic and all the other game store staples. They have plenty of space for open play and league play as well. The store is always clean and does not have the dingy dungeon smell you find in some places. Women have been treated well from what I have observed, but I am male and so have no direct experience of any issues.

Dont waste your money on this place they kick people out for no reason. I was in the shop playing Xbox with a friend minding my own when these two other people around us started talking about smoking weed. I never said anything about it other then they should not talk about it because it was against the rules and then I leave and come back I get told I cant come there anymore for something I didnt do at all.

Great local game store. Has lots of room for tabletop gameplay, a stay and play center, an extensive library of comics, all the accessories and extras you could possibly need.

Large selection of comics, games are pricey but it is hard to find them elsewhere so not surprising. You can play in store, anything from VR to table top D&D. Great place for kids to go play video games for an allotted time rather than on the streets getting into trouble.

Review №97

My wife and I like to take our time with comic books before purchasing them. So, we were in there reading through and deciding which ones we wanted to buy. I was particularly interested in buying a game, which is this stores main focus to begin with. Well, with me standing right there, the patron came over to my wife, who was sitting on the floor with a book in her hand, and told her that she was free to browse, but that reading is discouraged since it defeats the purpose of buying and walked away. So, apparently youre only appreciated if you already know what you want or are there to play cards. Comic selection wasnt great to begin with, but impressive for gaming. Just felt unwelcome.
