Cool little place that stocks board games and specializes in RPG games/supplies. Their selection…read moreisn't bad if you're looking for stuff for certain RPGs in particular like Warhammer 40k, but surprisingly limited in others like D&D. The pricing is a bit high too compared to online suppliers like Amazon. My guess would be that the owner keeps only the most popular stuff on hand, especially supplies that are used in games played at the store. That aspect is pretty cool in that there are tables in the back of the store for use by players. There's a whiteboard calendar that shows when there are events going on and such. Check it out, there's some cool stuff to look at!

They have the great games and offer demonstrations, leagues and tournaments. Friendly staff loves to talk about games. It's a shame, but there's a social activist politically trolling one of the owners using their own domain that Gauntlet let lapse. Blah, blah, blah. Would be w shame if Lincoln lost a great local geek paradise due to such hate. The group is inclusive and encourages my disabled son to participate.

If you don't know these names or think they are the names of soccer players, don't worry--the stuff you buy in this store will be good quality even if you couldn't give a rip who makes it. They even sell Shamwows, which impresses. Not because I want one, but because it describes my relationship with the store--I like good quality, but hate pretentiousness. This store is double the size of other BBB's I've been to, which made me realize something--all the stuff is displayed at the perfect height for someone like me (6'0"). I feel as comfortable here as in a Lowe's, too. It is not a frou-frou girly kitchen/bath store, but then you won't see many guys around either. Why? Because if you are a guy who, say, needs to fit out a small bachelor pad, you can get all the household crap you need in one stop, and if you speed shop like I do it can be done in 2 hours. Plenty of time to get back to the sports bar and eat chicken wings and watch the game in the afternoon. Any guy going to the store is in-and-out so fast due to the fab layout you will -Never -Ever -See him.

We went recently because we had a gift card and got an assortment of items. Remember to bring the 20% coupons they always send out. Also, if you want something that is the last one/display, they will discount it 10%. They will also let you wrap gifts for free in the store or take paper home with you if you are getting something for a bridal registry. Staff were friendly!

Their new location off of South 56th is at least five times the size of their old store, yet never seems to have the great selection they used to have and the prices have been raised across the board (wall art in particular is extremely pricey). Not only that, today I stopped in to discover that they've done away with their color tag system; now everything is priced as-is without a discount system. Additionally, the majority of the furniture being carried looked cheap and dirty. I did a little research on their website and found that they're now operating an eBay storefront where they seem to be diverting any nicer products. It seems like a crime that they're taking donated local items and trying to sell them online rather than keep them affordable and in the Lincoln community. I don't see myself shopping here again; I'll take my chances on FB marketplace.

I didn't go in there but it looks awesome. The value of the items here are reasonable! If you need a book or want to support local, come here. I'm looking forward to coming back and taking my toddler to the kid section!

A place like this, I love to spend money, knowing I'm helping people in challenging circumstances earn a living. The staff here was very friendly, and they had a lot of fun jewelry, scarves, bags, home decor, pillows, and lots of other stuff. Had a nice sale section that would be a mega bargain for whoever is looking for a few left over winter items. I especially love that they print out for you the story about your item: where it came from, who made it and the specs of the item.
