Excelsior has a little bit of everything and something for everyone. The owners, Kaz and Bobby make lots of handmade items including very unique dice and 3D printed dragons and dice towers. They focus on community building and I always see a lot of young adults in their shop gaming. They run magic the gathering events, D&D, and Sunday board gaming. read more

Excelsior Comics and Games - My daughter fell in love with this gorgeous 3D printed dragon that was created by Excelsior in one of their 3D printers - Videos & Video Game Rental Near Me - Maynard, Massachusetts

Not a very kid friendly store. Was really optimistic given the opportunity to shop local. Good Pokémon selection and they buy used cards. With 3 kiddos in the tween age group, this is a convenient option for them to spend their allowance without having to drive 30 minutes away. The problem is that the store staff is pretty unwelcoming towards kids. We've been a pretty good customer over the course of many visits. The treatment has been pretty hit or miss from dirty looks thrown at the kids for picking up items they intend to buy to feeling like we are mildly tolerated at best. This store seems to prefer the young adult demographic. read more

This place is just wonderful! Tons of minis and a great gaming section. Staff were super nice and helpful. If you're into tabletop gaming, Excelsior is gonna be hard to beat! read more

Came in looking for a specific Comic...was told the store does *not* carry comics....2 stars because the name of the store is completely misleading...should just be called 'Games' as Excelsior came from Stan Lee and there are no comics by him (or anyone) in the store. Nice selection of games but again, can only give 2 stars due to the complete lack of comics. read more

Awesome store that carries a great selection of Privateer Press Formula P3 miniature paints and washes for an incredibly reasonable price. You won't find a better selection of paints or D&D miniatures in this area of Massachusetts. The staff is friendly, and helpful without being obtrusive. There's a nice section of board games, collectible trading card games, and an area for gaming in the back that looks well appointed. They also happen to have a great aquarium full of all shapes of dice that I can never help diving into when I stop by for anything at all. Huge recommendation for what is clearly a labor of love. read more

What a great little shop, it's been a pleasure to watch them grow. I'm far from a "frequent flyer" here but I stop in on occasion and see a lot of the same faces. It seems they offer a great sense of community and engagement with their regular clientele; it's always nice to see such a well loved shop. Every time I'm in, it seems like there's something new (products, events, etc). The staff are familiar; they used to run the other comic/game/collectible shop in town, before it started going down hill I'd assume. When I've asked for something they don't have, they've always ordered it for me or referred me to someone else who DOES have it - these guys aren't looking for sales; they're looking for happy customers. I hope to see the store continue to grow; I don't play table top games but I love graphic novels, comics, and all things nerdy, and they've made forays into just about every realm of geekdom. Not at all corporate; 100% community. If you're in Maynard, you simply must stop in. read more

The staff were all wearing masks and the store seemed clean enough to enter. Fewer comics than I expected, more games

Helpful & friendly owners, nice mid-sized crowd on game nights (thursdays open mtg, friday draft). I've sold MTG singles to them for reasonable prices. Could use a larger range of rare singles and booster[pack/box] offerings. Oh, and there's a good doggy who greets customers. read more

Excelsior has all sorts of cards, and I would recommend it to anyone who has magic, Pokémon, or Yu-gi-o (if that's how u spell it) I have found all that I need, be it EXs or GXs and the owner, Bobby Whitecomb has always assisted me. They have there own tins, I have found a fake machop one. They also have a bunch of systems for games. Overall, not only is Excelsior a great place to purchase things, but also to just hang out. read more

I got to the store witch was in a very convenient location and a soon as I walked in the door I was met with a wide variety of Pokémon, yu-gi-oh, and magic cards, and lots of comics, and vintage games, I went there because I wanted to start playing magic and the person working there knew witch item was the best for someone like me who was new to the game and wanted to build my own deck, and they even offered some land cards to me for free because I was new to magic. Overall excellent costumer service and great selection of cards and comics. read more
