This is the place to go if you like games! They have a wonderful variety and friendly staff. Two thumbs up.
Great store, I went there to look around. The staff members were friendly and the prices were reasonable
This place is amazing. It might be one of the best game stores Ive ever been to, and I used to live in a town with Cool Stuff in it. If youre into board gaming, this is the place.
Great local game shop. If you like board games, table top games, or trading card games, then this is a good place to buy those. They also have space to host game sessions.
Incredibly knowledgeable staff who were prompt to assist a flurry of customers with amazing customer service and pointed advice and recommendations for products in the space. Robert truly made shopping at a store I formerly felt uncomfortable in a breeze and I will be returning many times over for all my gaming needs.
Walls are a lot more bare then they used to be. Worthwhile if youre in richmond, not really worth the long drive we usually make to get there anymore
They had several minis for D&D/Pathfinder and other D&D accessories. I was able to find most of the items I wanted. They also have a good number of games that are great for families and learning.
Helpful staff. Very cool store with lots of board games, table top rpg goodies and card game accessories.
The staff is friendly. Quick to help if you have questions. I came here to hang out ans play magic but ended up meeting some cool people playing some other random game. No idea what I played but it was a lot of fun. The place is very small and the walls and ceiling show their age. Their inventory is up-to-date. It is nice to see boxes not covered in dust! The calendar out front is great to check whats happening as you walk down carry street.
If you are a boardgame enthusiast or a newbie to board games or card games, this is the place for you! There is an incredible selection of boardgames and card games to choose from. There is also a knowledgeable staff as well as friendly customers willing to help you make a decision or answer questions. The scratch and dent section has a great selection at a great price and the online store is always current with competitive prices against Amazon. With free curbside pickup you can save money, support a local business, and get you game in minutes! The fact that they have been here forever just adds to their being a staple of RVA for the fellow geeks in Richmond!
Great selection of board games and trading card games. The shop is in a prime location, and the staff is great!
A great puzzle, board game and table top game store.
Great place with chill people and space for tabletop gaming. Very friendly environment
Excellent local game store with a lot in stock! If you go to the back there are some discounted games for different reasons (i.e. a hole in the box) that are still great games to play!
Best game store per square foot Ive been to, no question. Amazing place and staff!
Great FLGS! Wide selection of board games, card games, puzzles, RPGs, and gaming accessories.
Prices were very fair and items arrived quickly and in packed well. Highly recommend!
Great customer service, good selection of games.
Good collection on Chest Boards
This has always been one of my favorite hobby shops from my MtG days to now. Friendly staff, a great selection, organized play, whats not to love?OEJ is also taking COVID-19 very seriously, which is a breath of fresh air.
This place is the best from the ordinary to extraordinary games. A great place to buy gifts!
Very knowledgeable,polite, and friendly.
Friendly, clean, fantastic selection. Staff was knowledgeable. Excellent atmosphere, easy parking. Looking forward to coming back and playing some games.
Small but very nice.
All games very knowledgeable staff
I have been a customer here almost 30 years... There is a reason they have been there so long. Knowledgeable customer service. Running an independent game store isnt easy. Ive seen many go under. They seem to have found a good mix of something for everyone. Not just a gamers den. Before C19 they supported their products with game nights in store. The store can be busy... for a reason... good spot
Love that this store is ALL board games and has many on discount for slightly damaged boxes.
The best and only place to get games in richmond! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff that will help you find the game the best suits you.
My favorite store of any kind any place ever. so much to look at and so much fun waiting to be had.
Great prices on Catan Expansions and Extensions. Very quick turn around on my online order for on front-door pickup.
Great selection of games, wonderful staff, and an excellent Ding & Dent section!
Fast shipping and excellent communication. Games arrived in perfect condition
Awesome!!! Extremely friendly and helpful Staff cant wait to go back for more minis
One of the best spots for Games, / MTG in RVA. Great and helpful team work there, constantly shifting hot new games available.
Great assortment of boards games and a very clean store! There is a large Magic the Gathering presence on Friday Nights, and from my experience visiting on a Friday night, the crowd has a good mix of age and diversity. Parking is not easy to come by, but a short walk through a trendy neighborhood is no bother.Prices are fair, store is well lit, and they utilize their space properly to accommodate large groups.
Amazing shop! They gave me some great recommendations with a lot of thought behind them, theyre super friendly, and I love the selection.
Good people reasonable prices good selection what more do you need??
Would be nice if you updated google maps to tell people its closed so people dont waste there time. An obscure notice on a an updates/about tab no one looks at is pretty lazy everyone will just look at open hours, why have google maps say the store is open if its barred up. Every store in the area including competitors are open. Sad. I like how the last covid update said youd open by late summer xD
You will spend money on their awesome game selection. You will be impressed with their customer service. You will go to gaming events here. You will put the rest of Carytown out of business by spending all your money here and possibly put yourself in the poorhouse. Awesome place keep it up!
Cool, cool place. I wish more game stores had ding and dent or previously owned sections. I like a healthy game box as much as the next person, but Im also thrifty enough to be happy with a VERY slightly damaged box for 50% off. And in a couple of cases, Im not even sure what the damage entails. Great store that I wish I lived closer to.
Great selection and pretty decent covid rules.
I would recommend coming here when its not busy with intense gamers in the back. It really starts to smell. Other than that, this place is great. You can find discounted games in the back and hang out with your friends and play board games.
Friendly staff with great selection!
Im addicted to the scratch and dent section. Love this place!
This place is the best little game shop in the entire Richmond area!!! The selection of games here is out of this world! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They even have a scratch & dent wall with discounted damaged games. You might be able to find the same games online for less money, but supporting local business is always the right choice.
Lots of DnD and tabletop games and miniatures.
Cool board game store in Richmond. Lots of interesting options plus they have tables in the back for folks to reserve and play. Helpful staff. Recommend.
A fantastic game store, has a huge variety of board games that are great for people of all ages. They provide tables for games as well. Highly recommend.
Cool store, good selection and a cool atmosphere. I dont want to knock it a star but when they are busy it is definitely too much. We went for the first time during a card game tournament and it was impossible to get to every section of the store and look at everything we wanted. Next time we will shoot for a less busy time.
Fantastic store for board game enthusiasts. Along with a great selection of the highest rated board games, they also have a few traditional games to choose from. Events and gatherings are regularly hosted. There is a large discount section where the prices cant be beaten anywhere else. There is also a library of free games to play inside the store, with the only condition that customers treat the games delicately and put things away neatly. Would definitely recommend.
Love this place! Have been going with my son to play Pokemon and we have encountered only good people and an awesome environment.
Has a great supply of popular to niche tabletop and RPG products. The scratch and dent section is fantastic if youre looking for a cheap way to get into the hobby!
The staff here is very friendly & engaging. Great selection of board games, small but liquid stock of Magic: the Gathering singles. Pretty consistent Magic events but definitely a more competitive crowd.
Worker took something right out of my hand and put it back while I was looking at it... Granted, apparently I reached behind the counter to see it, but there wasnt anyone there to help me. I was thinking about purchasing the item (pre-built deck), but I needed to know more about it first. Guess not... Thats when I knew I wouldnt be spending any money there.
Small but mighty, this store has been a fixture of my gaming experience for close to a decade. I stop in every time Im in town! Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful staff, interesting variety of games and supplies, board game library and a good amount of play space. Plus, as a queer black woman, I appreciate that I have never been made to feel othered while shopping here. My recommendation couldnt be higher.
I make a stop here almost every time Im in Carytown! Cozy space with a super friendly staff willing to talk about the product and give buying advice. I primarily come for MTG packs and singles and D&D supplies, but their board game selection always tempts me. A bit cramped for events, but that just comes with the territory of being in a Carytown storefront.
Awesome games and Magic the Gathering
Been buying magic from this shop for a while. However, they are extremely cheap when buying cards, and for some reason they always suspect what you are trying to sell is counterfeit. Its very frustrating spending money on booster packs, and when you try to sell the money cards from them they refuse to buy them because they find them suspicious. Great shop for buying, but selling to them is too much of a hassle and they scalp you in payment and then sell them for about 5 times more than what they give. I understand they need to turn a profit, but the amounts they charge in shop is ridiculous compared to what they buy them for. They should be better about authentication, having someone at the counter determine its worth and authenticity just by looking at the card isnt a very good way to buy.
Games of all kinds can be found here. It’s a great place to find a new game for game night or pick up a really cool looking deck of cards.
Great store! They have a big library of games in the back and tables set up for customers to borrow and play in the store, which was an awesome feature I didnt expect. The games are a bit pricey, but they have a huge selection!
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Well stocked with new and classic games & puzzles. One of the great FLGSs in the country.
This is a great place to visit for all of your game night need. I go here to play magic and the employees are amazing. All of them are super friendly and can and will help you with anything. I will recommend anyone to stop in and take a look you might find something you like. I give it five stars
Perfect spot for board game fans and DnD players. Would be great if they would establish a hygiene rule for customers during their busy hours like some other game stores do.
This is my favorite board gaming store and tabletop gaming place in Virginia. Their scratch and dent selection is a great way to start a board game collection. The frequent events including magic, DND, and boardgame nights keep me coming back for in-shop play! Their prices are competitive, so buy local and support this awesome location!
My favorite game store. Staff always greets you, huge selection of board games. And best of all they have a discount section for damaged boxes that are all 25-33% off. They also have magic nights and tables set up where you can test games in the store. Plenty of snacks and drinks if youre hanging around gaming.
Good store with a large collection. I like the scratch and dent section. Many board games for great prices
Got a ton of discounted board games from minor wear on the game casings. Excited to try them out!
Great store that makes the most of its space and has a busy calendar of events. Ill definitely be back
Huge selection, open late on a Sunday, cool minis, boardgames, card games, dice, etc. They had everything. We couldnt throw our money at them fast enough. Will be going back tomorrow to look around more. They even had some cool stuff on sale.
Good selection of Reaper Bones miniatures, D&D resources and MTG cards, as well as lots of board games and other game-shop fare. Miniature prices are great. I feel like theyd move more D&D books if they discounted them a bit though . .
The best place to go if you are looking for a wide variety of tabletop games, in the Richmond area. They also, regularly have many games available as scratch and dent, which has greatly aided the growth of my miniatures collection. The staff is knowledgeable about the culture surrounding the games they sell, which is super important when deciding what games to invest your time and money into. The one downside to this place is the competition for table space on any day they run MTG events.
This is a great game store. The people are helpful in recommending games for all ages and interests and there is a good selection. Lots of goods games that are slightly damaged at a significant discount too
Very friendly community. Great for new players of all types. Awesome game/dice/figurine selection.
Great place with very friendly staff. They have a great selection of Board Games. They even will teach you how to play some of the games. Check out their scratch and dent area for great deals.
Very knowledgeable staff. Clean, well stocked. Friendly and helpful staff. I shop here even though i can get products cheaper on line because service is so helpful and patient. They have events and tutorials there
Ive been going here for the past 25 years or so. They arent the cheapest, but its like going to a great bar for a beer. Sure its cheaper to buy a sixpack from the grocery store but you miss the selection and atmosphere of this great shop. If you enjoy table top games, be it cards, miniatures, or board games, youll find something to like about this place and the people who frequent it.
If you are a traditional board gamer or non electronic games. This is the store for you. Great people! Great Games! From D and D to one of a kind type board games this is the place to be!!
Always love checking out their sale section, they have some good deals!
The selection is pretty good but the prices are a full 100% higher than what you get elsewhere. This wouldnt be a problem if I got service to make up for it. But the idea of paying markup to support local businesses is lost here, where they have one employee sitting behind the counter staring at her phone.
More expensive than ordering those games online. But think of it as paying for expert advice from staff members who have played most of the games and can give you good advice. Has been my geek headquarters for over 20 years.
Big selection, events, snacks in the front available for purchase, staff is approachable. Good lighting and plenty of interaction to answer questions. A paradise for the teen game set, but Mom and Dad can find plenty.
Really nice shop with a great selection and tons of space. Smells like how I used to remember game stores smelling like...In the good way!
A really neat little game shop for euro style board games and miniature gaming figures. They have a great and constantly changing inventory. So you will never find the same old games just sitting on the shelves for years collecting dust. They also have a great scratch and dent section that every gamer should check out. In fact the only problem i do have with the store is when they have gaming tournaments during regular store hours. While that is going on, the store is so packed full of gamers, tables, chairs, that you cant move about in the store. Other than that, this is a great place for all of your euro gaming needs.
If youre into board games, this is the place to go. They have several popular indie board games along with a ton of games Ive never even heard of. I picked up a copy of Betrayal at Baldurs Gate and Ive been playing it nonstop. Dont forget to check their slightly damaged section for great deals.
So not only do they have a great selection of board games and puzzles, I decided I wanted to try my hand at Magic: The Gathering. The man behind the counter not only told me a bit about the game, but also helped me pick a starter pack, for my friends and I. To top it off, there where several gentleman playing the game in the store. After I bought the pack I walked to the back and played my first two games with a guy named Zach, dude destroyed me thoroughly but I enjoyed the learning experience. It is a very nice place, with helpful and friendly people all over the place. Thanks.
Nice knowledgable people. Friendly atmosphere. I recommend it highly.
This is a longtime gaming store in Richmond, I have been going here since they opened thirty or more years ago. Space is a little cramped but a lot of gaming tables allow different groups to play at the same time. Shopping area is small but full of interesting options. Better to go with a group than by yourself although you will probably find new friends here. Staff is hit or miss, there are a couple who are excellent and a few who are not particularly helpful.
Super cool restroom design!
If you are looking for games, they have you covered. Tabletop, strategy, you name it. And their scratch and dent section always has great finds. They offer gift certificates, and are willing to order something if they dont have it in the store. Always a fun time!
A great local game store that really does its best for its customers. Had great communication when their distributor didnt have enough copies of a game I had pre-ordered and went the extra mile to track down a copy to fulfill the order.
Nice little location and knowledgeable staff without being too neck beardy most of the time
Awesome store. Great prices and selection. Very nice staff and a great place to play.
Always updating stock to keep up with new board games. Great selection.Also a good selection of scratch & dent, on discount.
