The owners and workers are friendly, and their board game nights don’t have a seat cover charge an have a good amount of welcoming and diverse folks who show up. They have a strong desire to build and support the board gaming /tabletop/card game communities that meet here, and it shows.
The moment my friends and I stepped in here late on a Saturday night, we were welcomed by cheerful and friendly staff who explained the layout and what the store offered. My friend really just came in for a three minute stop to get a pack of Pokémon cards, which he did, but we ended up staying about half an hour, just exploring all that fun and interesting different games and paints and supplies.
All the tables in the back were full of people enjoying playing table top games and the vibe was upbeat and fun. People had brought in takeout food from a nearby restaurant and it was clear folks were having a good cozy time on a cold November night.
I'm glad I found this welcoming little place and I definitely hope to come back and participate more on one of the free game nights.
I like it that they have a pride flag, and a trans flag displayed as it shows that this is a welcoming and inclusive place for all.
Visited the store while I was in the area
They have a nice playing area and plenty of bulk to sort thru ($1 per card). Onwner was nice enough to spot me an avatar pack when I mentioned it was my bday too.
Would come back again if I'm in the area
Super helpful and kind staff! We have been here twice and both times came home with more games than we planned because they made so many stellar reccomendations and the prices are so reasonable we just couldn't resist! Every game we've got there has become a fave and a mainstay in our collection instantly. Will be going there for all of our board gaming needs and beyond for as long as we are in central Jersey!
Absolutely AMAZING game store. 10/10. Completely chill owner, plenty of tables to play, great curated collection of games for purchase, but an EXCELLENT selection (Library) for playing in store.
I'm not in this area often, but I'll make this a stop every time. Truly dope.
