As good as it gets for a comic store!…read more Lots of comics to dig through, some overpriced CGCs to contemplate, and lots of retro toys. There's also used blu rays/videos and posters and more memorabilia. There's really alot to dig through, which is what REAL comic fans do!

The people working were talking really grossly about women the entire time while I (a woman) stood in front of them. My husband even joked that I should ask questions to see how often they looked at him to answer as the man. The other major issue was the bathroom. It has a sign warning of the "wrong ways to use the bathroom" and that using their bathroom was a privilege, not a right. But the bathroom itself had blood drips down the walls and on the floor, followed by not having toilet paper. Even washing my hands I felt like I wasn't actually getting cleaner. I will say that I asked someone for recommendations and they very obviously googled things before realizing they didn't carry any of the games he named. He then tried googling a bunch of random titles to see if they fit my interests, which I can just do myself. Great concept, not so great experience.

I've been here many times and this place is fantastic for older consoles and games. The guys are…read moresuper nice and cleaned my n64 'jungle green' for me when the reset button got stuck. The gentleman was professional and quick and resolved my issue. They also have popular RPG games, like Magic & Warhammer, etc if you're into that. I'll keep returning for the vintage games (& possibly some newer) that's for sure.

Been around for awhile now. Maybe a year. They buy and sell Magic Cards, video games, and DVDs…read more They also sell RPG systems, dice, figurines, as well as board games such as Settlers of Catan and others. The business is kinda small, but hopefully they can make more room to accomadate the growing number of people coming up for Friday Night Magic as well as their other gaming tournaments. Supposedly, soon they will also start to get in comic books into the store. Hopefully, a good selection as well as graphic novels. The two owners are for the most part pretty easy to speak with. They are very into Magic the Gathering themselves and have pretty decent knowledge of a lot of what people want. Sometimes, they get pretty busy with all the people trying to buy things and you have to wait awhile, but nothing too long. A decent business with a bright future as long as the owners are smart and grow slowly and continue to get along with their patrons.

They have a fantastic selection of family games, card games, wooden puzzle games, and etc. etc. etc. This tiny little hole in the wall (I know the owner John is looking at getting a larger place) truly is a fantastic stop. For those of you who are not that interested in playing Magic, or Yu-Gi-Oh, no worries. Stop in anyway and don't let the external trappings dissuade you. The owner, John, and his wife have chosen an excellent selection of games. You'll find games suitable for the very youngest kids, for instance 5, 6, and 7 years old, through to very challenging and intense games good for multiple day long gaming sessions. John is very knowledgeable about his games, and if you talk through what you like with him he will be sure to show you some new things you've never heard of before that you will enjoy. Very good selection of Ticket to Ride modules, Dominion games, and many others. Also if you are a card gamer, he has several table set up for card duels. Very delightful place.

Not a bad store, except that it is nearly impossible to even get someone to look your direction…read more The selection is what you would expect for a place that buys from people. It is inconsistent, but you can also find some pretty cool things. Prices are not bad and they often have deals if you buy multiple items. I would say that they are better for movies than anything else; it is a pretty vast selection. It can be crowded and a bit messy. It seems like the employees are most of the problem here. The shelves can be really out of order and I have seen many times when the same item was listed at multiple different prices or had gunk and other stickers all over it. If you are patient and do not mind doing all the work yourself you can find decent deals; just be prepared to wait ages for anyone to help with things you cannot reach yourself.

Seriously. You guys…read more I'm a big fan of the Protagonist café and the antagonist café. I finally had a couple of friends in town and had the opportunity to visit pieces. First of all, the owners really did an amazing job with the renovation. Keeping some of the original charm and making this a really great space tailored for hanging out and playing games, including outdoor space. The bar area is totally awesome and I think that I would go there alone to sit at the bar. Something I don't normally do, but the bartenders seemed totally friendly and accommodating, as did all of the weight staff. Our table form arrived right at opening so it wasn't busy. But, soon, it got super busy as it was Friday night. I have to stay that. I love the crowd here - it's so diverse. Everything from a nerdy gaming crowd, dates, friends getting together, and a group was using the meeting space back in the corner. All was lively and jolly and happy. I will definitely visit again due to the atmosphere. I'm not really want to go out to bars, but this place is so accommodating and diverse. The food wasn't as amazing as I would hope but I do think that the menu is big and there's something for everyone. The table did enjoy the house made wontons and sauce. A few of us had bowls, one of us had a buffalo chicken wrap and they were all just OK. We did split the barbecue chicken quesadilla and I think that we all agreed that it was the best thing we had. I am excited that I have found a new place in Soulard and I can't wait to go back with my spouse as a date. This place is an absolute gem. Oh, I also wanted to mention the service procedure. It's totally in genius. You have little colored sticks that you used to show the weight staff that you're either ready to order, ready for the check. That way they don't have to interrupt your social gathering or gameplay.

There is a lot of street parking around the area. I ordered a Hightail which is a cannabis-infused drink. I ordered the "Whose turn is it?" It's a cherry and lime flavored drink, and the cannabis taste was very slight. I tasted it more in the aftertaste than in the actual drink. For food, I ordered the Thai Chili Vinaigrette Salad as a wrap and added chicken. It was delicious. It was refreshing, sweet, and had the slightest bit of spice. The chips on the side were crunchy and salty. All of the staff were attentive and friendly, which added to the positive atmosphere. I didn't play any board games, but I'd love to come back!
