Critical Hit Games

4.5
(275 reviews)

Top tier local game store with friendly staff and great selection. Lots of TCG products especially magic (which they also have a great selection of singles online for). They also have warhammer and dnd products with designated war gaming tables. Very active local community of players in the area that meet up here and play.

For a large portion of my childhood critical hit was pretty close to a second home for me. All the magic events are fun and the people who work there are fun and friendly. This LGS is a truly one of a kind place for me and definitely my favorite local business in Iowa City.

I recently moved away from Iowa City, and Critical Hit Games is one of the places I miss the most. Pre-release events for Magic the Gathering and Commander nights here were always really friendly events--I couldn't have asked for a better place to come to as I learned more about the game. As I understood more and more about Magic, Critical Hit also reliably had many of the cards on my lists for building new decks. Now I live in a bigger city, and while I enjoy many of the perks of having a more expansive MtG community, I will always miss walking into this store and hearing Chance, the owner, greet me by name. If you're in the Iowa City area and looking for a gaming community, you can't go wrong by starting here.
