I’m not from the area, but I stopped by for an impromptu trip and was immediately greeted by Pat, the shop owner while he was hosting a gaming event. I was welcomed like one of his own family, quickly learning stories about his kids and family. My wife and I have been collecting board games over the last 15 years or so and we always like to check out the local game store communities to see what new games are on the horizon. Pat is one of the most impressive store owners and operators I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He made some great recommendations and had an enormous wealth of knowledge about the industry and passion for his community, but so much more important than that, he shared a little bit of his personal love story about his wife, Susan, and her battle with dementia. I won’t divulge the details in this review, but PLEASE stop in to see how incredible this store is, and say hi to Pat. I’m sure you will walk away feeling a personal connection like I did. What a great story and an amazing guy! I will carry the memory of this experience and Pat’s story with me for a long long time. Best wishes Pat, keep doing what you’re doing! P.S. We are loving your recommendation for Onitama so far!

The owner Wick runs a great place to hang out and play various games. His support of the different Genre of games is unmatched locally. He supported the recent Star Wars limited prerelease with a whole box raffle. ::Thumbs Up!::
Come see us! From interactive play zones to exclusive finds, there's something special waiting at a store near you.

Family owned small business that does whatever they can to help their customers. So much knowledge about about all of the games and comics. Having kids and not understanding all of the things they are into, like magic and D&D and even Pokémon, the owners of the store can help guide you in the perfect gifts for your kiddos even if you don't understand what any of it means. 🤣 It's also a great place to play some of these games with others who enjoy them.

A true gem in the community! Left of Center Gaming has quickly become one of our favorite places to visit as a family. We've been here 4–5 times now, and every single time we've felt welcomed—not just as customers, but as part of their store's family. It's a truly safe and inclusive space, especially for Pokémon card enthusiasts and kids who just want to have fun and be themselves. The sensory room is a beautiful touch—filled with puzzles, board games, blocks, and more. It's clear that they’ve put a lot of thought and heart into making this a space where everyone can feel comfortable. To the team at Left of Center Gaming: we appreciate everything you do and wish you continued success. We’ll absolutely keep supporting you and spreading the word about this amazing community space. Thank you! 😊🎴🧩

Murph’s Card Town is a great and welcoming LCS with a continually rotated and evolving inventory. I just dropped off my first submission with Beckett and can’t wait to watch the reveal on their YouTube channel. After getting back into the hobby about 3 years ago it’s nice to have a shop that will answer your questions truthfully, and not just tell you what you want to hear to buy more product. I’d give this shop a 6th ⭐️ if could… The Hobby
