Bought from here for years, but this last set was an incredibly disappointing experience. Price jumped 40+ per box from what I was quoted a week before, most expensive in Columbus. I gave 2 stars because of history, but that was so disheartening and I don’t think I will be making the drive going forward.

Used to think this was a great local game store! They usually have very fair pricing and I didn't feel like they were one of the stores out to solely make money, regardless of how it affects the customer. Today's experience has completely changed my mind. I pre-ordered the spider-man mtg booster box and was given a fair price ($167 and change) upon my initial interaction with store employee. When I went this morning to pay and collect my product, they had changed the price to over $225! No mention of the change until I asked for an itemized receipt of my purchase. Looking back, I remembered thinking it was odd they didn't collect payment upon placing the pre-order. I guess it was so that they could play the market price. Shame when your local store treats their business like a scalper.
Repeat customer. Store has a wide variety of tabletop games, RPGs, board games, and card games. Helpful staff, many items retailing a few bucks below list, ample gaming space plus painting bar. Clean as well.
