Overall, it was a great atmosphere and definitely a place I would recommend checking out.

My 0-60 time to get away from that thing was blisteringly fast once I found that out. Two light bulbs were burnt out in the chandelier above the stairs, so the ambience wasn't as bright as it could have been. The CDs were a bit up there in price, so I sang tunes to myself for free while browsing the much more pleasant $1 section outside.

Kind of a middle of the road review here, to be entirely honest. If you live in the Charleston…read morearea, your options for local games stores have significantly dwindled in the post-COVID years. You can definitely see the effects of the shrinking population size as well. There are currently three local games stores in the area, this being one of them. It's the oldest of the stores in the area and has been around quite a while. Despite this long-term experience, there is still a lot to be desired from this location. They only have one staff member, the manager, who knows remotely anything about Magic the Gathering. If you want to sell cards, you have to catch JB while he's there or just come back another time. They aren't firing any events currently, either. Everyone has migrated to The Board Room. They aren't really doing much at all outside of being present and selling product as far as I know. There used to be an Adventurer's League for D&D, which has been dead for a while, the Magic scene has fled the store entirely, it's just mostly barren these days. The store is almost always dirty, and unless JB is present good luck getting anyone to give you the time of day. The good and middle of the road part is that JB is a great guy, good at customer service, and their selection is almost always solid. They offer fair pricing on Magic singles, doing both cash and credit as options. Compared to The Board Room, their pricing on product is also a lot better, as TBR has their packs marked up by quite a bit higher than average for current Standard sets. They have an account system these days to track store credit, which is nice. They lost an employee to the aforementioned competitor, The Board Room, and I truly think this is a sign of the end for this business. As far as I can tell, he was the only thing really holding them together as far as any form of organized play goes. The entire Magic crowd followed him out the door. So, TLDR it's a good place to go and buy/sell Magic singles, or look for other stuff to buy like board games, minis, comics, etc without having to deal with the odd markups, but if you're looking to actually play something here, then good luck. I'd at least recommend it over Pair-A-Dice in St. Albans, even if they are firing events.
