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.
This place is really amazing. I love buying cards here. Everything is reasonably priced I love what Pokémon items they carry. The staff is super helpful. I just hope I don’t go broke. 11/10 great place
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.
They are so nice! Always gives me a smile and helps me find what I am looking for!
Great place full of nerd goods and great staff if u are a hobby ist or a comic fan check this place out
Great people, super helpful, more then happy to help new players or comic readers.
Great environment. They have good selection on hand and I honestly feel like its a hidden Gem in the Rogue Valley.
The best place in medford to get any card or board games. Love the staff and very much enjoy every visit.
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.
Always the best gaming place in the valley. Tons of rare board games, awesome figurines and every role playing book and accessory you can imagine. Fantastic place!!
The staff were super friendly and helpful! The place was incredibly clean and organized. Their prices were good, and they have a great rewards system. Pretty fantastic collection of everything nerdy. Highly recommend! I will be going back soon!
We absolutely LOVE this game shop! They have the best selection POP! figures, D&D mini figures and dice for days!!! We love their latest stock of mini dice!
Brings back the best childhood memorie. Please check this place out. Its a great alternative to cell phone games!
Great and helpful staff, very patient with someone who is trying to help her son start up a Pokémon collection
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.
I love this store! The staff is super chill, helpful, and friendly. Its a great place to shop and I adore shopping here!
Great place to get your cards and comics
Love it there. Always friendly and awesome especially Aaron. All sorts of amazing stuff and comics.
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.
Even with the challenges they are going through right now they were able to get what I needed. The staff was super helpful and very friendly.
Fun place!! Very nice owners. I own The Hungry Hustle walking food tour and my guests love going through there.
A fantastic place to get all your gaming needs met
Delicious empanadas and friendly staff.Will be our base when we travel to California.
Really great selection and friendly staff!
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!
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.
Other then the Bible thumper outside its a wonderful place for fun and games. Lots of choices for games and the staff is very knowledgeable
I am a board gamer and and a miniature gamer. But that is because of Astral Games.They have welcomed me and made me feel at home. One if the best Freindly Local Game Stores (FLGS) I have ever been in.
I am shocked how rude and snooty the owner and staff were. I will never shop there and neither will anyone I know. Very unprofessional and was treated like garbage, if I could give negative stars I would.I highly advise anyone to go anywhere else but here.
The workers there are very friendly and do their best to help you out what what you need. I just hope we can do d&d night soon.
Great place! Found exactly what I was searching for. Needed an anniversary present for my fiance. Found what I needed and more!
Awesome store! They offer incredibly spacious game rooms, and have a wide selection of inventory and their staff is the best! If I could come here often, this would be my go to game shop.
Great selection, great staff
Ive been going here for years, it has my favorite selection of comics, books, figurines, miniatures, MTG, and more. The staff is great and the owner makes a great impression, hes learned my name, my husbands, and my sons, as well as my friends.
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.
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.
Awesome, for card and games of all sorts!
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.
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.
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.
Great place to get into the hobby style of games and Boardgames!
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. I have been going here ever since it opened down town and love going in when I get a chance to catch up and say hi to the friendly staff and owner.Great job guys! Keep it up!
Good game shop. Solid selection space to play?Awesome
Its a great store, dont get me wrong, but I feel like its too inpersonal. I walk in and it feels very commercial. I love the people here, and they have a great selection of stuff, but it definitely doesnt stand out from any other game store.
I love this place. Great atmosphere, love the owner and the employees. Always respectful, helpful, and friendly. Everyone is knowledgeable and the pricing is extremely fair! Cant praise them enough!!
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.
I always have a good experience at Astral Games. The owner Aaron is knowledgeable in most forms of table top gaming and trading card games. They have an extensive gaming room as well as miniatures and other accessories. I highly recommend stopping in and having a look.
This store has a lot. Came in just to buy magic cards but strolled through and glanced at stuff. its well worth your time to walk in and enjoy the geek culture even if you arent sure what youre there for.
Great place, great selection. We were very impressed with the selection of gaming supplies available. Staff was very friendly. I have driven by several times and didnt realize this place was there.
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
Well stocked and knowledgeable.
Absolutely amazing! This is a one shop stop. Whether its bored or card games this place has everything and has such a wonderful and inviting staff.
One of the greatest places in medford. I love supporting our local game shop. The employees are friendly, they have an amazing selection of boardgames.
Friendly and helpful staff.
The staff here is helpful for a mom who doesnt know much about comic books. The store is laid out nicely and we just booked my daughters birthday party there. Great set-up and good inventory.
I cant express how much i love this store! The online pick up is awesome, and the location is perfect. Not one bad thing i can think of to say. 10/5 (:
Went in to find a new game. Great selection of games and comics. The guys were so helpful, and knowledgeable it was a great experience.
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.
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.
Nice store. Erin is always so nice. Thanks for all the good times I have had in your store.
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.
Friendly staff. Large open play area. Board game nights, D&D adventurers guild, magic and more. A definite stop for your game needs plus comics.
Best game shop in the valley!
Always great customer service and a welcoming staff. Huge selection of board games and comics. I especially love all their community events.
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.
Very helpful. Answered many of my questions on several games. I ended up buying dice and a dice bag which I have used since then.
A great place to game, knowledgeable friendly staff. Good selection of games and quick special orders
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.
A family friendly place to go for card games and board games. Great selection with reasonable prices. Hosts several tournaments every week
Excellent place lots of options. The staff knows a ton about the games they sell. In addition to events like Friday Night Magic they support other sorts of games and also sell some Comics action figures vinyl pops Etc. The owner is extremely honest and professional.
Very awesome place very friendly and has a wide variety of mtg and board game items also tons of events to get together and just have some FUN!
Huge selection of all types of board games, comic books, action figures, and arcade games, a very friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a huge gaming area.
Best place in Medford for Free Comic Book day! The owners are always friendly and the selection is great!
Easily the best game store weve had in the area. Lots of space to hold games, good selection, rentable gaming systems and regular organized events. Locally owned.
Love this store! Great for kids and college students alike, as well as old die hard gamers like me.
Nerdy haven, glad its growing! My significant other doesnt know: I wish I could be here all day with beaucoup bucks.
The staff is friendly and knows their products! They are great at answering questions without making you feel like an idiot. Prices are good too.
I really appreciate both the staff and selection at Astral. Their game room is great and inviting with a good variety of demo games.
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. They hold weekly tournaments for most popular games, such as Magic. I absolutely reccomend that anyone who wants to please their inner geek to drop by and check them out.
Nice shop with friendly staff! Ill definitely stop by again next time Im in town.
Local, friendly, accommodating, involved in the community
An amazing place for comics, figurines, Funko pops, DnD, Magic the Gathering and Board games. They also have a gaming area, playstation 4, Xbox etc. They pretty much meet all your nerdy needs!
Staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. Board/card game paradise
I like the new layout. Its easy to shop, and they have SO much stock!
Great staff and store! Huge are for table games and video games! Want to learn a new board game? Everybody is willing to help or find someoe who wil
Its a good place to go to buy nerd and geek things and hang out
Way better than that game store in Ashland! Better selection on everything
Comics! Games! What more do you want? If they dont have it (hint, they usually do), theyll do their best to get it for you.
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.
I had a great experience shopping there but didnt finf what I was looking which is a hard product to find anyway. Gave a 4star and the owner contacted me. Well that earns another star!
Love it we will be back
The Nerd Center of medford, are you a nerd thats still hiding as a jock? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! Come and let your nerd be free in this fantastic place of nerdom.
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.
Love this place! always great help and selection, plus video games, gaming tables and beverages, soft and adult!
Great shop awesome and an awesome selection! Plus, an amazing space to play.
Good customer service. Lots to do and play. Lots of good merchandise.
