Alex is always friendly, helpful, and welcoming! I had pre-ordered something and it had been delayed thanks to the state of shipping & logistics currently, but when I let him know I was really hoping to have them by the upcoming weekend for a charity stream, he let me know he just got some in and instead of me waiting for shipping, he let me know I could pick it up so I would be able to use it just in time!Excellent pricing, staff, and atmosphere :D
Guy that runs the place was super knowledgeable and willing to explain for basically every game I was Curious about. Super awesome. Has Kickstarter popular releases as well
I came here with my wife about a week ago, we arrived exactly at opening, but Im assuming the opening person was running late because it opened roughly 7 minutes late, which wasnt an issue really, but we were about to leave assuming it wasnt going to open until we saw someone unlocking the door. This store is very small compared to other hobby stores I have been to, but was very well organized. Without having been here before I was able to easily know where anything Id be looking for would be (was there for d&d miniatures). We were greeted as we walked in and despite there only being one employee on this Monday morning I saw her engaging a couple that had walked in right before us and helping them find what they needed. She demonstrated some mats that are reusable for D&D. We got what we needed and she rang us up at the register. Right before we were leaving she asked if we knew anyone who liked pokemon. My wife answered with we do and she offered us pokemon stickers. We left having enjoyed our stay at the Gaming Goat and would probably return if it wasnt so far from us. Id normally rate 4 stars for opening slightly late since we drove over an hour to get there, but Im under the impression it couldve been a rough morning. So overall Id recommend this location.
I have never been to this store nor have I spoken to the people who work there. That being said, I was able to order two very hard to find items at RETAIL COST through Google (who brought me here) rather than have to pay the scalpers cost on eBay. Both items arrived today, quickly and safely. Shipping was beyond reasonable. I could not be any happier with the level of service provided here. 10/10 will shop here again 😊
Really cool owner. Prices for Pokemon product is MSRP. Same with top loaders. More of a board game shop then TCG but still enjoyed visiting for my first time. Definitely will be back.
Great place to get the latest hobby board games! They sell new games for less than MSRP, which is nice. 🥳 The staff is very knowledgeable. If your new to hobby gaming, this is a great place to get started!
Really nice place came in to find a starter set and ended up getting a mini too the prices are amazingly low
COME HERE BEFORE SHOPPING ONLINE!! Amazingly friendly, great atmosphere and a wonderful stock of everything! I just got back into tabletop painting and he was giving great tips and insight on every product we were looking at! Prices were incredible and there were stuff I didnt even know existed that were so cool and useful! Definitely will return soon to fill up and learn more :)
Great place and excellent prices for boardgames and other hobby games like Warhammer. Alex (the owner) is one of those people you should support in the community and has always been extremely helpful. Every hobby boardgamer should make this their go to shop or one you check out at least once in the greater Houston area.
Staff was super helpful in picking out board games and they had an awesome collection of books and games to choose from.
Lots of board games, super fun. Great recommendations from the owner. Prices better than you could get anywhere else or online. We’ll be back for sure.
Good selection, staff is helpful, and great prices.Cant really ask for more.
Knowledgeable and very friendly. Good selection. Favorite place to stop by for minis and dice.
Miniature war gaming heaven. For da emprah!!!
This little shop is absolutely awesome! The owner is incredibly helpful and friendly, every time Ive been there, and has ordered product for me to pick up if he didnt have it in stock. The atmosphere is bright and friendly and the selection is very nice for the size of the shop. All around great experience every time Ive gone.
This place is a Hidden Gem! A place you got to visit for sure.
The Gaming Goat is a great game store that is very inviting and well stocked. Lots of discounts on their games.
Alex has, or will get, just about anything for you. Ive never seen so many board games in one place. Excellent place to get all things RPG. Prices are better than online, Ive compared. Plus, support local and get what you want today rather than wait.
This is my favorite gaming store! The owner is super friendly and always helpful. Its a very warm and welcoming environment, and the prices cant be beat!
I loved the atmosphere. It smelled really good in the store. They have a wide variety of board games to buy as well as for free play. the gentleman that was running the store was also very nice.
Super nice place, definitely one the best looking gameshops Ive visited with tons of board games, dice, minis and D&d books
Awesome place. Best store for buying board games in the Houston area.
I’ve been to all the gaming stores in the area — this is by far the superior choice. Alex offers all of his games at prices that are competitive with or even beat Amazon. Amazing coming from a brick and mortar gaming store. The service is impeccable but not overbearing. I bought a copy of Dominion yesterday but didn’t feel pressured or like I was being led on a sales pitch like most gaming stores in the area. Atmosphere is mature and not overly obnoxious. And most importantly, YOU CANT BEAT THESE PRICES. I don’t know how Alex does it but, keep it up. I’ll be returning again and again!
I love the gamer Goat.
Extremely affordable prices and extensive collection. Alex is very nice and is willing to teach you any game you want. Good library to play for free and good local community always around there.
Nice little tabletop game store with a TON of boardgames, card games, sleeves, dice, and accessories. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and offers all of his games for 30% of MSRP. Its an awesome little hang out and there is almost always someone there willing to play a game, which Alex has available in his game library. I cant recommend the place enough, it has easily become my favorite game store!
Very organized. Knowledgeable about their products, quite nice and very helpful.
Really a great experience. Great game selection and prices. Friendly environment.
Great stock. Very helpful staff. Game tables available. There are some beautiful metal dice sets. Good standard discount on all board games!
This is a fantastic game store. Great prices, great atmosphere, great service. Highly recommend.
Alex is very friendly and knowledgeable of the games he sells. Huge variety of games always in stock, and all are below MSRP!
Super great place to stop in for your tabletop needs! My go to store now!
Great selection, great price, and great people. Always has what Im looking for, and if they dont, they will order it for me!
The owner is super inviting, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He really cares about his bussiness and his guests. I came here with family and we were very pleased. Im honestly not a board game type of guy, but I gave it a try and now I believe I am!
Great experience, the gentleman was super nice and helpful. Weve found items that weve never seen in other shops. It was geared toward more D&D and board games but still worth going back too.
Great place to get all of your board games needs
Great pricing and customer service! They can order anything not in stock.
Great customer service, amazing prices on their merchandise, and very chill environment. Definitely recommend to others and 10/10 would come here whenever I get the chance!
Great place. Price was on point, everyone was very friendly!
Awesome store with a great selection of games. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is a great perk!! Will be back again
Great prices on boardgames below MSRP. Staff is accommodating and friendly.
Great host and a wealth of knowledge!
I travel a lot and love gaming goat. This one is no exception. Great pricing and staff as always.
Do they got Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards ?
Wonderful new store. I love the layout. The owner is super nice and knowledge.
Great prices! Nice comfortable environment! Highly recommend!
Went in because we thought we were crazy when we went to the old location and it was called halcyon games. The owner told us he used to work at the old one but then was offered the option to franchise so here they are. They have their grand opening 5/25/19, so swing by and check out the drawings and such. They had a pretty good selection of board games and dnd minis. I was looking for xwing minis which they didnt have, unfortunately. If you dont see what you are looking for, you can always ask them to special order for you; they might be able to get it from their distributor. There were about 4-5 long tables set up for games and on the weekends they are open till midnight.
Great plave to learn, play, and buy new games or old favorites.
Really great store, pricing is typically below MSRP. They carry a great balance of lighter, party games and heavier gamer games. I wish they were closer to home for me..
Amazing deals and service
Knowledgeable and friendly staff, with a decent sized gaming space.
Great friendly atmosphere and good selection.
Great people, great atmosphere and fantastic selection of games.

Amazing products, amazing store.
Awesome place, Alex!
