Don't think about it, just go play games. Every night but Tuesday there's something happening. Wednesday is when the local game group gathers and plays whatever. Boarding schools are available to teach new games. They even have painting nights to paint the miniatures.
Had a great experience at the location recently. I met some of the local gamers and the owners were very nice. One of them gave me a brief tour of the store and gave me some great information. I was there for an RPG event, but they have a weekly schedule that makes it easy to see when certain games or events are happening. I will definitely be back!
Good people but had a bad experience when they vended at Fan Expo Chicago. I was going through their bulk box for about an hour and found some good cards I wanted. Some of the prices for the same cards varied and the shop employee told me it's because they're not always consistently checking the prices for their bulk box items (for example, I found 4 different N's Zoroarks at different prices ranging from $2 to $9). While searching, I found a Brilliant Stars Trainer Gallery Umbreon Vmax for $11. As I was showing them the cards I was looking to buy, the owner came up, said the price was wrong, immediately re-priced the item at $60 and put it in their display case instead of back in the bulk box. This was after we chatted, had a bit of banter, and I was led to believe that they were gamers for gamers. Sadly, no amount of being good people means much in the face of money. They get 3 stars for having a great selection at standard pricing but definitely 2 less stars due to them doing the physical definition of a seller on TCGplayer cancelling your order because you ordered cards at a good value that spiked in price. I can't fault them for doing what any common businessperson would do, but it still left an awful feeling that I had for the rest of the convention; should have expected less.
The owner (I think) was super nice. Pretty unique selection of board games, we ended up buying more than anticipated because the was such a great variety. I think there is some kind of deal when you spend enough money and keep your receipts. Will certainly go back when in the area again!
Been selling and collecting trading for over 20 years. We pride ourselves on making sure buyers get exactly what they paid for!

Overall a pretty nice store but with some caveats. On one visit I stood for about 10 minutes waiting for help while an employee carried on a personal conversation with someone. I finally was walking away to the counter when they noticed me and asked if I needed any help. They are also understaffed a bit during busy times so be prepared to wait your turn. Also, while they have a nice card selection the individual cards are in dimly lit cabinets and very hard to see the details (especially if you have older eyes like mine). One plus is they do offer a 20% cash discount but also note that often their cards are priced quite a bit over market (TCG and ALT comparisons). They typically have some sealed options of Pokemon as well, but note they sell them at MARKET price while at the same time proclaiming that they do NOT buy sealed from customers or take sealed in trade. So make of that what you will, my other local shop I frequent sells sealed at MSRP as it should be. With all that said, again they have a nice selection and the staff is typically pretty friendly overall so I will be (and am) a repeat customer.
Your friendly local game store! Shop, play, and hang out in our inclusive space!
