My family has an extensive boardgames collection. We are also big Dungeons and Dragons fans. I love that they carry a wide variety of games and that when my kids see something interesting online we can find it at Beyond the Board. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend you visit and pick up a game you've never played, like Gloom which is a storytelling card game, or Concept which is a secret word game where you have a limited number of symbols to get people to guess, or better yet Mysterium which is sort of like Clue only there is a ghost giving you hints! read more

my dnd group was bullied by this establishment to pay to play in their backroom WHICH IS ALWAYS EMPTY we spent HUNDREDS of dollars at this place and they kept badgering us to pay to use the room. WE WILL NEVER PLAY AT THIS PLACE AGAIN... they are almost always empty and their desperation to charge us for things they didnt have to has lost them hundreds of dollars in future sales... WAY TO GO DRIVING AWAY CUSTOMERS! read more

We drifted in today and took a look around. The guy behind the counter was super nice. There were some people playing at the tables, a wall of demo games to check out, and a good selection of stuff for sale. I will definitely return when I'm in the area again. read more

If you're looking for a FLGS (friendly local game store) with awesome selection, helpful/friendly staff, and reasonable prices, Beyond The Board is pretty much the only stop you need to make. There are always plenty of community gaming events scheduled, and the constant arrival of fresh new games and accessories will keep you coming back to see what's new. Unless I'm on a mission for something very specific and/or limited by time constraints, I usually end up wandering around the aisles of board and card games for at least an hour, marveling over things I swear I've never seen before and trying to decide what I need next. ...but wait, did I mention the best part? In the rear of the store, there is a wall absolutely FULL of games (probably at least 100-200) that you can demo before you decide on a purchase. See something for sale that piques your interest? They probably have it on the back wall, so go grab it, sit down with a friend or two, and give it a shot. Some nights (particularly weekends), events have most of the tables and seating filled up, so if you're looking to demo a game, you're probably better off going a little earlier in the day, or checking ahead of time to make sure there isn't a Magic or Pokemon tournament going on. They even sell snacks and drinks here (again, reasonably-priced) so you can get comfy and have some fun for a while. Don't know what to get? Talk to any of the associates. They're all super nice and have a wide range of experience with games, so they'll likely be able to point you in the right direction, and they haven't steered me wrong yet! read more

I am so happy this store exists. It's a lot closer to us than the other gaming store downtown with a way more inviting environment. They have a really great selection and a very knowledgeable staff. The staff really make a point to get to know your name. Make sure if you're a new customer to ask about their stamp card. They have a lot of gaming related events there and they also have a collection of games for you to try out and play (or bring your own). I try to make it here as much as possible. read more

Stopped in here to take part in organized play. Exterior: it's part of a shopping plaza, tucked away in a corner spot. It's not immediately noticeable from the primary road, but there is signage to help direct you to it. There's plenty of parking nearby, just have to be careful as one of the exits from the plaza is very close by and there's a lot of traffic. Interior: the store is larger than expected. Just over half the store is devoted to product and the remainder is set aside for gaming. The main gaming area has several tables of different sizes and a nice gaming library located immediately next to it. The section devoted to product has plenty of room to maneuver and has a nice selection. There is a small room in the back which can be reserved for more private gaming. It has two good sized tables with enough room to get around. Staff: the associates I've met have been very friendly and helpful. They've always greeted me upon arrival and answered any questions quickly. Product: due to the small size of the store, they don't have absolutely everything one might want, but they are more than happy to order items. The only reason I dropped a star is because the back room was double booked when we arrived. The group I was joining thought they had both tables for the event and the other group thought they had both tables. In typical gamer fashion, we were able to easily resolve this and extra people for both events were put out in the main gaming area, which each group using one table in the back. These issues really need to not come up on game nights as group size can vary tremendously based on a variety of factors. read more

First time visiting the store tonight, we were pleasantly greeted by the owner. The store is very clean and organized, and they have a decent selection of board games, MTG, minis, and demo games. There are several tables for Friday Night Magic and other games, that seats about 25 total. Also, you can rent out a room in the back. If you are in the area you need to check this place out! Very convienent for gamers in Dublin!!! read more

I was surprised to find a new game store up by Dublin. I noticed their sign as I walked past Jason's Deli, and I'm very glad I decided to check it out. They're a little hidden, at the very back of a small strip courtyard, but Beyond the Board makes up for it by the very welcoming atmosphere when you walk in. I was greeted by the woman (owner?) behind the counter, who asked if it was my first time stopping in. When I said yes, she took a few minutes to point out the different parts of the store, including specific shelves / sections for card games, collectible minis, 40k, painting supplies, and board games. Then she pointed to a large area of tables and small shelves and explained that it's their 'demo library', where you're encouraged to come in and try copies of different games that they've opened up for you. That's a really nice idea, and I love that they're in a very open and well lit space that lends itself to checking out what people are trying. I picked up some mini paints and brushes while I was there, and prices were reasonable - though they do offer a nice rewards program: You get a punch on your card for every $25 you spend. Get 10 punches on the card and you automatically get $25 off your next purchase. Supplies for some games (40k, Shadowrun, Attack Wing, Heroclix) were extensive, others (Battletech, D&D, a few others) were more limited, but they will order in anything on customer request. It's not quite as "Everything and anything" as Guardtower, but I think BtB is a great "neighborhood" shop. I suspect I'll be filling up that reward card over the next few months as I drop by. read more

Feedback about the store: I bought Pompeii from Beyond the Board yesterday (6/3) and opened the box today. The card deck was missing, so we immediately went over and ask them to remedy the situation. They inform us it is our problem and we have to contact their vendor. I then ask for a refund and they tell me I can not get a refund because the box is out of the shrink wrap (you have to open the box to play the game and find out a piece is missing). They say we have a sign displaying our store policy. This sign is below their counter (no way you would even see the sign) and they offered zero assistance to fix the issue. I have bought from them before and absolutely appalled at the lack of customer service and will no longer buy from them. read more

Great selection of games and an incredible open floor plan- absolutely wonderful for testing out games, running game nights, and even some private rooms- where we heard a DM absolutely killing it with his group. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even with us being out of town, he assured us that we could always hop in a game if we ever visited again. Good selection of RPG materials as well. We'll take his advice and definitely come back when we're in the area again! read more

Great selection and the staff there knows your name. Love going to open board game nights

This game shop is wonderful. There is plenty of space to play board, card, miniature, and rpg games. There is a huge table full of open board games so that you can play and try out new games. Tuesday is a great night to do this, particularly if you want to meet some new people. For tabletop gamers, there's a back room that you can reserve that's very spacious and separates you a bit from the noise of the front room. This shop is very clean, open, and has plenty of parking. They have an excellent selection of board games, as well as tabletop and miniature products. What they don't have, they are happy to order in, which usually takes 1-2 weeks to arrive. They also have prepackaged beverages and snacks that you can buy. read more

Beyond The Board is one of the best FLGS (friendly local gaming stores) out there. The best thing about them is the quality of customer service. If you are interested in a game that they don't have, they will give you a call once it comes back in stock and will save you a copy to buy. I went in a few months ago to ask about a game that was currently out of print. They just got a copy of it and gave me a call to let me know that they had it (even though I went in months ago and had lost hope that they were going to get a copy). So even though I had forgotten about it, they didn't! If you haven't been in there, you should really consider just going in to browse. Make sure you bring a friend and you can demo some of the best loved board games (as well as some pretty obscure ones)! It is a great place with a great atmosphere. You need to check it out!! read more
