    ***Google keeps defaulting to incorrect store hours. ArcLight is open seven days a week…read more Thursday, Friday, Saturday 2PM - 11PM Sunday - Wednesday 2PM - 10PM ArcLight Gaming is a family friendly LGS. It is my favorite LGS. Parking is reasonable, and it is well lit. It is accessible. They have an active discord page. PRICES: very reasonable for everything. Prices are listed with tax included, so you know exactly what you are spending. Lots of snacks and drinks. Bathrooms are clean. Thursday's are the busiest for MTG commander, Wednesdays are really good for board games and they have a selection to play with. The 'regulars' are friendly, helpful and new players are welcome.

    Arclight Gaming in Tomball, Texas is a new game store with a lot of potential. I arrived today to…read morecheck out this new store and I found a group of Tabletop Role-playing gamers happily rolling dice and having fun. The store owner greeted me amidst the cheers of a successful die roll. He was friendly and welcoming, encouraging me to look around and let him know if there is anything he could help me with. Located East of Tomball, well before the railroad tracks that marked the unofficial​ entry into the town proper. The store has a large parking area with nearby food (Artega's Mexican Grill and a Subway) across the street from a local high school, (Concordia Lutheran). The store is small, but has several fold up tables for games. The selection comprises a large Warmachine and Hordes selection, Pathfinder RPG books, the latest Magic the Gathering booster packs, along with dice, and some dice bags. A selection of drinks and snacks are available for purchase. His inventory is small, but he informed me that he is going to expand it soon. I'm always happy to see a new game store open and the community enjoying it so quickly. I have hopes this new store will endure the difficulties that come and thrive and grow.

    Visited about the time they opened their doors for the first time, since then the store has grown…read moremore and more. Customers: The customers and gamers that shop at Atomic Hobby Shop are really great. A lot of subject matter experts, if you will, that can help answer a lot of questions about the different games, strategies, painting/hobby tips. Employees: Nice, polite and come greet you but none of that pushy sales man. They are well informed about their product. Product: This store is definitely a destination store for Games Workshop, Magic the Gathering, Vallejo Paints and more. Even better these guys can order games in that they don't normally carry. Overall: Darn good place. Its super clean, great merchandise, lots and lots of space for gaming and hobbying. They got my business for sure.

    This review is going to be solely based around them waisting my time and gas for nothing…read more I had to move awhile back and I called around looking for shops who could buy bulk collections of MTG, Pokemon, etc. because my new one apartment was small I had to sell so much stuff recently. They assured me over the phone TWICE that they did buy bulk (spoke with AJ, Alecia *sp?, and Matthew) which is why I decided to drive all the way to Cypress from Pearland to drop my collection with them. Now it took about a month to get that collection evaluated because it was a huge collection of boxes and binders honestly took up the entire back of my car. Part of the reason it took so long was I think the person said they were sick and that can't be helped I understand. All that time doesn't really mattered what matters is at the end they just offered to buy like the most valuable cards at a lowball offer for what they wanted. (Which I could have literally taken to any shop and sold) Proceeding to tell me they were not interested in the bulk collection WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON I MADE THE TRIP. . I already knew and not driven what round trip twice was almost 4 hours for me. Also when I got there they had taken everything out of the damn sleeves and just had it in a mess in the office and I had to reassemble it all in the lobby which really frustrated me. That is what really bothered me. I packed all my stuff up and took it to another shop that actually did buy bulk and got a much more reasonable offer. They may be a good shop to hang out at and nice people I have no reason to believe otherwise in that regard it seemed like a nice place when I went both times. TL;DR The shop bs'd me about buying bulk so I drove all the way out to their shop and wasted about 4 hours and it took a month for nothing. But a lowball offer on the rarest cards. Would recommend not trying to sell bulk to these folks cause they wasted my time and are likely wasting yours.

    Soon to be called Odin's Lair??? They're splitting off of Dragon's Lair, so I've heard…read more Plenty of parking in the strip mall. We came in around 7PM on a weekday evening and it was still quite packed. Barely got a table for our group of 5, and we didn't start playing til around 7:45PM. Their board game library is fantastic. We played Kinfire Council, a bit of a rarer game, and it was a great vibe. Drinks can be purchased from the Tabletop Tavern connected and they'll bring it right to your table (except for the Pokemon tables which are designated for family friendliness). Fantastic shop. Great for board game, card game, or miniature enthusiasts of all kinds to make a trek up.

    Went here with my husband. Just left and will never return. Why? We wanted a box of Pokémon cards…read moreand we told the guy working that we just want to collect it and keep it for several years. His attitude immediately changed and he said "I don't like selling to people like you." He said it to my husband. I was shocked. How can you speak to someone like that unprovoked? My husband loves Pokémon and had a collection as a kid and it was thrown out. He was excited. My husband said he didn't like his attitude but would still give the store money anyways. He then asked for a $50 box of Pokémon cards and the same guy said he was going to punch a hole into the box with a hole puncher. My husband said he didn't want that because he wants it sealed and untouched. The guy proceeds to give him an attitude and tells my husband he can have the Pokémon box for double the price or else he will hole punch it. Honestly, this isn't the first time this place has been a disappointment. I promise you, you will meet the rudest and most pompous Reddit mod toxic a** people in places like this. The environment is unwelcoming. You can tell these people hate you. If you don't look like a liberal, have the purple hair and piercings-- these people treat you different. It's obvious and gross. If they keep this behavior up, they'll go out of business one day. Also, the owner seems to post very ugly and offensive responses to any reviews he doesn't like. That should tell you something. This place is going to shrivel up and dry out of business. So many complaints about the attitude of the employees yet the owner behaves like this.

    This is going to be a longer post but I wanted to share my experience. Before I do, I understand…read morethat this isn't everyones experience, just mine. I went to Cy-Tex gaming for the first time really excited looking for Pokemon and yugioh cards after someone recommended the store to me. I walked in and bought four cards and continued to look around the store with my purchased cards. The employee expressed to me that service would be slow because he was the only one working today. While looking around, the employee went to the other half of the store while I continued to browse. From the back, another older employee came out and hovered around my general area near the front counter. After I finished looking, I moved over to the other half of the store with the cards I had purchased. I put them in my pocket and moved on to join the first employee. When I went to the other half of the store to browse for pokemon cards, the older second employee followed me. I didn't think much of it until he followed me around to every part of the store. I noticed that his eyes were glued on to me everywhere I went. It eventually became clear to me that I was being followed. I continued to browse the store and different aisles as he continued to follow me with his eyes and moved to where he could see me. Eventually, after I finished looking I returned to the front half of the store and waited to purchase a Yugioh EBT box. While I was waiting in line I heard the second older employee tell the first that I had put cards in my pocket. At this point, I got my digital receipt ready to show. Sure enough, when it was my turn to check out he told me that his boss saw me put cards into my pockets and needed to see them to verify that I had purchased my cards. I showed him the four cards I had purchased, and he shouted out to his boss that he could confirm that I purchased all four cards. To conclude, after 15-20 minutes of following me around both halves of the store and through some aisles, rather than ask me if I had purchased the cards he just assumed I was stealing them and had the first employee ask me to show the cards in my pockets to verify that I purchased them and had not stolen them. After verifying that I only had the cards that I bought when I first went up to the register the second older employee laughed it off and tried to awkwardly play it off. Like I said, I know this isn't everyone's experience, just mine. I went into the store so excited for all the cards, pokemon, and yugioh. I never thought that I would be treated to feel as if I was stealing or was a criminal. Despite all this, it is a great store filled with a variety of items and things. I do plan on returning and hope for a different experience.
