Awesome game shop in South Haven. One of the owners, Aaron, was there when we came in and we…read morechatted for a bit. They have lots of tables available for tabletop games. Magic the Gathering cards are the prominent cards they had for sale. Lots of accessories to go with your gaming adventures like card sleeves, dice, deck boxes, and play mats. If you are more of a D&D person over card games they have D&D books and some mini figures. They also have a selection of other card games like Exploding Kittens and Imploding Kittens. As a dice goblin I could've stared at the dice for days but I didn't think that would go over well with my husband. They have events going on every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday according to the calendar up on the wall. We shall definitely be back as soon as possible because this shop is right up our alley. Thanks Hideaway Games.

The pricing was right and no extra fees to speak of and the pin shipped next day without issue. For me it was from them to Colorado and it was only 3 days. Best part of working with them was the service. Aside from the sale we talked everything pinball and was never rushed. Rare to find someone interested it building a relationship and just not the money. I found my new distributor. Thanks guys!!!

My husband and I met some friends at House Rules. This is a great place where you can have a bite…read moreto eat, grab a drink, and play a game in a relaxed atmosphere. You pay for your table by the hour. You can pick from a wide range of games from their game library. You can also bring your own games or purchase one at the establishment. We played Chameleon while enjoying sandwiches and chicken tenders. The food was pretty good and made with local ingredients. You can order from a QR code on the table and the food is brought to your table. For dessert we ordered a cookie skillet. We had a good time at Hose Rules and highly recommend it.

In terms of things to do in Grand Rapids, visiting House Rules nears the top of my list. I'm not a…read morebig beer drinker, so I had my doubts, but in addition to a half dozen fridges full of beer, they had plenty of non alcoholic drinks, as well as hard ciders, seltzers, and canned cocktails. Many brands were local that I'd never heard of before, and it was fun to experiment and try new things. Their food menu honestly shocked me with how tasty everything was. For a board game bar, I usually expect food to take a back seat or be phoned in, but everything was delicious! I had to try the elote deviled eggs, which was a combo I had never considered but I'm so glad someone did! I also got the truffle mac and cheese and a house salad. Both were excellent! The board game selection was extensive, with old favorites and hidden gems. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll be sure to stop in again!

Great service! Great Product! I would definitely do business with Clone Army Customs again!read more

I absolutely love wandering in Vault of Midnight and coming in for little gifts for my friends!…read moreIt's a bit overwhelming to try and find something if you're not a big comic book or graphic novel enthusiast but even as someone who appreciates it, you can ask the staff at any point and they will be more than happy to provide recommendations or point you in the right direction. I've never gone wrong with purchasing a gift here and I definitely will come back. They even have a punch card for loyalty which is amazing. Parking is a little tough since it's right on Monroe Center and street parking but I haven't had a big issue. I'm a huge fan overall and encourage people to stop in if they haven't!

Vault of Midnight has been one of my go-to stores for years now! I grew up a comic book and graphic…read morenovel fan so to have a nice store right in the middle of downtown is great! They have comics, graphic novels, manga, board games, blind boxes, and some ttrpgs and trading cards. The staff are always incredibly helpful and kind and will definitely help give you a recommendation based on what you like. I love the area in the front with self-published and local zines. It really is a small gesture but shows an effort to uplift and platform the local community and creatives. This location is definitely smaller than the other I visited, but there's still so much to find! There are several other stores along the street as well as the Art Museum, so it's a great place to stop by on a day out!

GOOD THINGS!! -Great store in a great location…read more -Great staff, -Good judges, -clean bathrooms, -clean floors and tables. -Pretty good selection of cards, -Decent selection of the last decade of packs, -and a dedicated customer computer that makes it easy to pick out singles. -Events are regular and will often have 40+people most weekends. -Paints, tabletop games, minis, gotcha, ... a good mix of most everything. -Next door to some great food. Literally get there 2hrs early and feast first... unless you like to game on an empty stomach. BAD THINGS!! It seems that reviews for this store are low when this store has to enforce rules or work with third party rules. Online purchases get lost in the mail, mail takes too long, walmart colab, preordering thousands of dollars 9months in advance and order limits get put in place... that's when people seem to feel slighted. Examples: -Waited for an online order for over a year... before saying anything. -ordering 1k+ in preorder... and a limit cap put on it retroactively. -order canceled for suspected fraud. prices changed before new order. -Store charges more than market price... to make money... ...at a store. -"I've been waiting here, saying nothing for 3minutes, why aren't they helping me, me, and me!? I shouldn't have to ask or be active in getting what I want." -4staff total... 50person event in process, 3different tables have questions, Judge!, 10people in line to buy things, 15 people browsing, full moon and payday, Judge!, 18orders backed up for singles, (hey the bathroom on the left needs some looking into) Judge! Conclusion Most negative reviews are about online interactions going through third-party sellers or when third-party notifications don't work as intended. Almost all of the positive reviews show that the staff work hard, know what they are doing, are keeping the place as clean as possible, stock up as best they can, are trying their best to invite friendly people back, and operate with honor. My review: One of the only places left in this city that people can exist with no cover charge or service fee. I will gladly look here for cards, packs, and events before I ever go online for anything. An extra 10% on the price is an easy amount to pay for a half dozen full-time staff/judges and a place to gather with friends and foes. In-store:10/10 all the way. Online: 10/10 average or 3/10 when things mess up.
