8 of 123- JC Thomas ★★★★★
Arkham is a must visit for mtg fans in the area! In addition to have a lot of selection for booster packs and precons, they have great prices on their well organized bulk. This store is a great community hub for gaming and had plenty of people playing at their many tables when I visited. The staff were friendly as well. The only recommendation I have is for better ventilation of the play area if you catch my drift.

Very welcoming environment. The owner is friendly and attentive. There is a decent variety of new tabletop games, as well as a used consignment section. Owner even offered to order in games that weren’t on the shelf. Accommodating to even the casual board gamer. Was not pressured by staff to buy something or hounded upon walking in. Very pleasant experience.

Really cute little store, limited selection but it's understandable given the size of the store. Chill atmosphere unless it's really busy, in which case things can get a little loud but that's not really the store's fault. Also gotta' appreciate how they stock a couple of things from local small businesses, always a really good touch. Key thing is Spencer (I think? Sorry if I get your name wrong) is a really lovely chap, always willing to teach newbies to his hobbies, spent a good few hours teaching my partner some mini painting techniques early this year and it has really paid off for her.

Had a great experience here with the Commander Masters launch. Owner was friendly and informative, store was clean and they had a good selection of products. They're undergoing some renovations, so hopefully it's only going to get better.

A small selection, but good for it's foot print. The owner is always really accommodating and very helpful. We ended up with a huge group to play with little to no notice and he let us kind of take over a good section of the store to setup. If you need anything he doesn't have, he can order it. His prices seem to be usually on par or better than online; there have been a few things more expensive than online, but it's worth it to support a local store.
