This store was what I was looking for on my trip, plenty of space for casual table top card gaming, just came on the wrong day. If I visit the area again, this is the shop I would probably head out to locally. Friendly staff and players as well. They were about to have a Digimon Tournament and some of the players made it a point to try and help me find a place to play mtg. The clerk was helpful as well! Maybe next time I will visit on the right days. Great card shop!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of new and interesting stock including Magic the Gathering sealed and singles as well as Dungeons & Dragons miniatures and painting supplies. Other games were supported as well. This is a great location for a great LGS chain.

These guys are nothing but scalpers with a storefront. Charging 2.5x MSRP for launch-day Pokemon products. Support anyone but them if youre looking for Pokemon.

They up charged thier prices to scalping prices. Had respect for them the first few times I went there. But now Ill never go there again.

I was really pleased with my experience here. I was rather reluctant to sell some cards without further understanding, but the gentleman who explained the process to me was very forthcoming and approachable. Admittedly it was a time in which I really needed to sell them for a profit and I think oftentimes in those periods of vulnerability it is easy to fall prey to sharky business practices. Needless to say because the service was so informative and friendly this business really is set apart in terms of making their clientele feel comfortable with the process.

A nice small local gaming shop. Ive been going to the board game group for the past couple of years and everyone is always friendly.Most of the space in the shop is dedicated to providing space for playing games. They have a small selection of board games and a decent amount of Warhammer minis. Most of the shops business seems dedicated to trading card games though. Overall its a nice spot to meet and play with others. But If you are looking to buy the latest board game or browse a large collection there are better shops around.

Staff is super nice and knowledgeable. Regulars are super friendly and are always open to newcomers. They hold a lot of events for both children and adults and do nice little things during the events like order pizza for everyone. Prices are super fair and competitive and they are also open to buying collections. Support your LGSs, people. They are underappreciated and a struggling industry.

Very chill and relaxing on non-play days... it can definitely get rowdy when its tourney day. Great selections and lots of different games to play and try. My only complaint is that not all the staff know all the games some know a lot about one but know nothing about another they usually refer to their other friends or staff that are not there

Been coming here for over 7 years now.. friendly staff, great player base for Magic the Gathering (among other TCGs) a great place to come relax and play some games, competitive or casual. I still get nostalgic thinking about playing MTG here twice a week back in high school... Give this great local game store a try if you havent already.

Store is kind of small. A little bit arrogant with buying singles but they did recently make an online shop. This is one of the only hobby shops in Delaware and Pennyselvania besides another one of this chain in Blue Bell. They dont have a selection of sports trading cards but they do have some board games and a small selection of stuffed animals. The store is lined completely with posters as decorations. They sometimes run out of stocks of tournament and astral packs sometimes from what Ive seen. People do regularly come here so you can go weekly. Pokemon is on Sunday, magic is on Friday and yugioh is on Saturday.

It has a bunch of cards and great prices (although the packs can be a little cheaper) but sometimes the adults can get a little out of hand and curse.

Pitiful game store. They have like 20 games. The rest was all just tables for people to play on. And also it smells.

We didnt spend too much time here. We were kind of passing through and decided to stop to see if they had a couple MTG cards from the wish list. They didnt, but the guys were very friendly and helpful regardless.
