This is the store! Im into Warhammer (mostly 40k) and they had a great selection and plenty of space out back to play. I dont play (just paint & read the lore) but Ill certainly go to check out games when things are more regular. Staff was friendly. Much more well organized that other hobby stops.
Great staff and friendly crowd. Its a place for beginners and pros alike. Highly recommend!
Excellent! Great with kids too! We went down there for magic cards and found exactly what we wanted
Excellent selection. Traded in some cards got a prerelease kit and some other stuff friendly staff live right down the street so it’s convenient when I don’t wanna go to Webb
My go to place for my geeky needs always friendly staff even when inundated with an event, worth dealing with the route 1 traffic. Pretty quite in the earlier hours but on game nights plenty of people to play with great community
Met a friend to play some games at this location. They have a large selections of games to purchase, and plenty of room to play for those that want to play in the store. There are lots of events and scheduled play days where you can come and meet other people that also play the same games you like.They have food and drinks you can purchase to help make your gaming more enjoyable . This location is also easy to get too.
The best card and board game shop in the North Shore! The staff is friendly and helpful, always a pleasure to hang out here :) Support your local game store!
Support your local game store! Lots of wonderful choices
This is the best local game store I have ever played at, and I have played at a LOT of local game stores. They have great organization, nice monitors posted in conspicuous locations with helpful information to run tournaments, and clearly labeled tables. The judges and organizers here are always fair and well prepared. Prize support for events is always fair and competitive, with most prizes allocated to the top scoring players, and plenty of promos are given out each night. Excellent place for playing card games and card game tournaments. They also offer a good selection of beverages and snacks, helpful for hungry gamers.The main problem at this store is the mediocre inventory. It may be hard to find the cards, toys, board games, or gaming supplements you may want. This stores inventory is noticeably smaller than other stores in the area. While you can place an order at the counter for delivery of something from an online catalogue, the shipping is GLACIALLY slow. I often wait 3-4 weeks for delivery of a card or a game, and sometimes it doesnt arrive at all (but they offer a refund). Notably, they do NOT allow you to use store credit to pay entry fees for tournaments, further limiting options to spend your prize.All in all, expect excellent organization, fair judges, spacious clean space, and good prize support for tournaments. Just dont expect a robust inventory of cards and games.
I really enjoyed this place my only suggestion is they should stock up more on Pokémon stuff but everything else was good including the service
Come and get your fix of Great Yugioh and other card games.
This was a quick In-N-Out stop for me but I definitely enjoyed their layout everything was easy to find and the staff was very helpful
Always amazing service
Always love coming in to either shop or get a game of 40k in here! Awesome people and very convenient location with a lot of parking
Good location...variety of products and services...collaboration with nearby stores and restaurants...friendly beyond what was expected
Ive been to this location once to support them on their grand opening, but if I lived closer I would definitely visit more than that. This store has a great community. My partner and I brought a game with us (Scythe) and were able to play with 2 others that we just met. You wont find a more welcoming group of game stores!
Good clean store. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place to get and play games.
Wide selection of both board and card games. Staff is very knowledgeable, engaging, and enjoyable to speak with. Will definitely be coming back for events!
Great community and place to play cards and buy supplies or games. A definite recommendation
Great selection of games, models.and paints. They have a bunch of different game nights and the service is amazing. If they dint have something they will order it for you and have it there asap
This store is a labor of love and it clearly shows. This is how you do nerdy right. Great personnel, product and atmosphere, for all ages. Drop in and find out for yourself!
D&D night every Thursday is the best ever!! Everyone is super friendly and really helpful to new players like my self. Everyone should come and play here! Perfect 5 star place!! Will always do my dungeons and dragons night here!! :D keep up the super work!!
Love Battleground! I mostly spend my time at the Abington location but the times I do visit this one the staff is fantastic, the events are always fun, and its the same great time I expect from my regular game shop stop.
Great store and really friendly staff once you get to know them. Find a game that interest you and see if they have a community night for it, great way to start playing!Only complaint is like so many other hobby stores it can be at times dominated by the magic crowd scene, but thats not really anything new.
We stopped here on our way to vacation in Maine - looking for some fun family games. We found lots of options. Picked some great ones and now we plan to stop there every year on our way up.
Discovered this shop while driving down the highway and saw their sign and I just had to check it out. This shop is awesome. The staff are so nice and very helpful. The selection is excellent. They carry all of the hard to find games and their even harder to find expansion sets.
Excellent game store north of Boston. Easy to get to, tons of products to choose from, great staff, and a lot of tablespace for gaming. They have events of various sorts nearly nightly. They even have an accessible restroom. I havent tried it with my wheelchair yet, but have been able to use it on my crutches easily.
This LGS rocks
Fun, people are nice and they also show you how to play different games overall a good experience
Best store around, friendly staff and an owner the cares for his patrons. He personally gets to know the people that come in and out of his stores.
Great staff, welcoming environment, and friendly community all help make this store a great place to enter the gaming scene!
Awesome place. Didnt want to leave but had dinner reservations.
Good people working there, also the restaurants give you 20% off if you say your from Battlegrounds.
Great costumer service and knowledgeable with all their products
Great selection of more interesting or obscure board games, plus Warhammer and other miniature games, Magic and other card games. Big selections, and the staff brings it together with knowledge and friendliness. They really nailed it in every way from games you might pick up to play to play with your kids to being able to join their regularly scheduled magic games at the tables.
I hope that Happy wheels unblocked can be played offline because I don’t know what to do at Hudgames
Great store! They have a fantastic selection and big seating area for gaming. The employees know everything about every game. We learned to play a new game called Splendor. The kids love it!
Havent played there but they always have every game accessories I need in stock and priced fairly.
Great FLGS. Light on family/party games, but an engaging staff and plenty of events in-store. Bought two extra games just because.
Great selection of magic: the gathering singles, deck sleeves and bundles. Big open area with lots of tables for game days. Real friendly and knowledgeable staff. They really made me feel welcome. I look forward to FNM!!
Cool space! Nice gaming selection, and lots of space to play. Wish I could give 4.5 stars, the location is tough to get to but Ill make the trip back.
Amazing selection of board games, awesome weekly events like d&d, and MTG!
Great game store. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have tables for you to play on. Bring a game or borrow one from their library. You will probably find people there to join your game.
Great service and great place to have some friendly tcg battles.😎👍
Im not a big gamer but this place is awesome! Especially if you are looking to improve your childs hand to eye coordination! Every board game imaginable.
Super well organized and theyve got a great selection of stuff. Really awesome place! AND they have parking!
This is one of the best gaming stores ive ever been to
This is a nice little store with lots of great things to play with.
God tier ttg store
Great place and service. Good selection of games and free events to participate in.
Very nice staff. Collection was great and so were the prices.
Great place to chill with friends. High quality games at great prices. And plus the owner of the store is top notch. Fans of Magic The Gathering, Pokémon, Warhammer and more should definitely check out Battleground!
If you are into board games, Magic, or other games this place has you covered. The also host nights dedicated to specific games which people really enjoy.
My husband loves playing Warhammer here
Lots of games, nice staff, all around good place
Store is generally stocked with lots of items. Owner/manager gave me an attitude on the phone when trying to bring them in more business. I will bring that’s business elsewhere.
Nice clean gaming store. Great place to go play some magic the gathering.
Very interesting store. employees are helpful towards new and experienced players, large selection of games to play, reasonable prices, organized and clean.
Great game selection. Staff is nice and helpful. Excellent, clean, gaming space.
Fantastic game store with a history of fun events... this location is a great expansion of their business
Had a ton of games and an entire area to play war games and board games. I think I even heard a game of dnd going on. It was great.
I go there to play Magic and also board games, there are also role-playing games such as Dungeons and dragons, a great store, knowledgeable staff and a vast collection of games and supplies.
Great place to relax and play some games with friends. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
It is one of the best stores north of Boston! Ample table space in the back with a decent selection of games topped with a wonderful staff all makes for a great gaming experience!
Came in for the first time to look for Dark Heresy books. Not only did the worker come over and help try to find what we wanted, he chatted with us over the game and universe and afterwards tried to order the books for is and their stock. Really good guys.
Great place to play games. Very helpful and welcoming staff.
Im so happy we have a store like this in the area now! I love it.
Great little game space with some well-run tournaments, and friendly staff.
Very well run shop with a great gaming space and inventory. Warmachine/Hordes, 40K, D&D, MTG, and much more very well represented. A very welcome addition to the area.
This is a great game store, especially well stocked for 40k and has a good playing space in the back.
Ive been going here weekly for the Dungeons and Dragons on Thursdays with my friends, and every time always have fun. The employees are friendly and you can really tell that they care about the store doing well. They play alot of the same games that are represented in the storeicj also makes them knowledgeable about which games are good. They have a wide selection of various board games and other family games and puzzles, as well as specialty hobby supplies like paints and Dungeons and Dragons books, dice, etc. Theres plenty of snacks and drinks for the people who come to play, and they have different things going on every night. Fuddruckers being within close walking distance also makes it a great experience to get dinner and play games with your friends, or bond with strangers over new ones. I recommend this place whether youre coming to play your favorite games, or just browsing some of the many products they carry.
A cool place to check out if you are into tabletop games
Reasonable selection, space is well set up for tabletop gaming in the back, friendly and helpful staff.
New store. Clean with a decent stock. Kind of limited on the miniature front with just GW, and some Xwing for the most part, but they can and will order most anything.
This is one of the best gaming store experiences Ive ever had, and Ive been in many stores as an avid board gamer for the last 5 years. Im familiar with their Abington store and it was amazing to hear they were bringing a store up north! Be sure to check this place out of you play D&D, Magic, Pokémon, Warhammer, or you want to try something new!! Their selection of board games is great and the staff here is super friendly and knowledgeable about everything they have in store. Ill be there Thursdays for their board game nights, see you then! I would give this store 6 stars if I could!
Battleground is awesome! I am so excited about their Saugus location. :)
Easily my favorite friendly local game store!
This store is such a great addition to Saugus! Huge selection of inventory and organized themed game events offer something for all age groups. Welcoming atmosphere and extremely friendly and knowledgable staff. Large open playing area including a snack bar. Lookkng forward to lots more fun here as we head into summer!
Staff very helpful, and a large selection
Battleground Saugus is everything I could ask for in a gaming store; they stock a wide variety of games, have a knowledgeable and very friendly staff, and the store is clean, well-lit, and free of weird smells (as long as I stay away from the Funyuns, anway).More than half of the store is filled with gaming tables, where they host gaming events throughout the week. I showed up one week a few months ago knowing no one, was quickly invited to join in a game, and now I show up frequently.
This shop is a bit out of the way but well worth it. Friendly, knowledgeable and attentive staff for multiple games, great selection of magic the gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh products.This shop has nights for everything from pickup DnD games to miniatures games, and tcg tournaments. Highly recommend
Lots of fun. Clean, well lit and the staff are great.
The game nights here are fun and reasonably priced.
Friendly staff and great selection, and open late which is a huge deal for me.
Been coming here for Adventurers League for over a year. Great people and great store.
Ive been playing Pathfinder Society and Warhammer 40k at Battleground Saugus for the past few months, and have come to really enjoy the community and accommodations. While the road used to access the store is a bit difficult to drive on, it is worth it to spend a nice afternoon or evening at this site.A rare sight among local game stores, Battleground devotes at least half of its floor space to tables, and doesnt only appeal to the card game audience - they offer a tremendous selection of terrain for Warhammer 40k/Sigmar, Star Wars, and other wargames.For RPGs like Pathfinder and D&D, there is a $5 table fee per player, which is given to the DM as store credit (which I find as a fair way to reimburse the store for hosting, and provides a nice way to budget for my 40k collection as a DM).Food options are strong in the area, and run very late into the night - Ive heard great things from other customers about the Fuddruckers next door for afternoon-evening food.Staff have been courteous and helpful, Ive seen how they handle a large Pokemon TCG event while I was setting up for Pathfinder, and they seemed to go the extra mile to make things engaging and participatory. Ive attended a 40k night this past week, and the staff took time to construct a fun and novel narrative scenario for all of the participants.
A fun, friendly environment to explore hobbies and games with helpful and knowledgeable people
Friendly, well stocked, good game nights. Check the site for schedule.
Great atmosphere love that they have games for u to try
Everyone was really friendly and they have a huge selection of games
Great place for your table top gaming needs.
Owner is super nice and super willing to explain stuff to noobs. Bonus !
Large selection of games and very helpful staff.
Good place to play magic and boardgames. Still growing inventory but friendly store
Great store, lots of product, good MTG players.
