There is a tabletop gaming store that is as large as a grocery store. It exists! It's a true wonderland for nerds and gamers, and noobies like me. None of the gamer stores we visited in Baltimore County can hold a candle to this place. Pay the toll and get your butt over to Ritchie Highway. You'll want to burst into tears of joy when you set foot into the store. I was under the impression that it was difficult to own/run a game store, or thats what the owners of those little shops would have me believe. But this place had loads of customers, and a bunch of other regulars in a side room used for gathering for in person play. Jeremy got his wish. A group of our friends are planning on getting together at least one Friday a month to play the Wheel of Time RPG. And he suckered me into joining. So he insisted that I pick out my own dice, rolling tray (the non-herbal kind), and a bag to hold the dice. He got some stickers and other stuff, too, cuz he's just so very into embracing the tabletop rpg gamer lifestyle. We joined the rewards program, so we'll obviously be back. read more

See all

An absolute gem in Glen Burnie! This store has anything and everything board game-related: new games, sales rates on gently used games, board game accessories (such as dice bags, card sleeves, collector folders, etc). There is also an area to the right of the entrance where you can pay a $10 fee per person to play a large assortment of games they have in their board game room. I came in with a gift card, looking to purchase a new game for myself. I wasn't too sure what I wanted, so I asked an employee for some advice, and she was wonderful! She took the time to learn what types of games I enjoy playing and walked me through a few different recommendations, explaining how the gameplay worked for each of them. Everyone I interacted with at this store were such wonderful people. I'll definitely return in the future and bring along some friends to play in the game room! read more

This place is massive and can cater to everybody! Theres sections for miniatures, a game room for playing games, a station for painting miniatures, board games, ccg, the works. The sections for board games are split up by dice games, deck builders, coop games, party games, etc. There's additional supplies for the card games such as sleeves, meeples, pieces that make the games better, game mats, expansions, even used games. Its hard to find a more expansive and well organized board game store. The miniatures area have the most popular games at this time. I saw star wars and warhammer but since this isn't my interest anymore I didnt spend much time here. I glanced in the game room and saw people playing and an impressive painting area if the home front is too small. There is a 10$ fee per person to play in the gaming area but it's worth it. Again, lots of space to spread out. Help is never too far away. At the counter somebody can answer questions, as well as people located in the center of the store ready to help. Very knowledgeable staff helped me find a few board games that I was on the lookout for. Highly recommend Games and stuff for when you want a new board game or to have a friendly spot to play in. read more

I would give zero stars if possible. Avoid at all costs. Go to Gamer-Corps, Omnihedral, and Curio Cavern instead. Jeff, Director of Retail Operations, is a very rude man who doesn't give a *#$@ about customers. I showed up on 02/14 ,and the DRO told me no open gaming with a look of contempt while an employee was in the process of giving me an entry band. I got a very hostile lecture from this nasty guy that I should look at the online event calendar. IT SHOWS OPEN GAMING FOR 02/14! Furthermore, I was aware of an 02/14 event and had called the store to verify if there was open gaming the day before, The store manager told me there was open gaming. When I mentioned this, I was told, "NO employee told you that." I don't like his implication that I am a liar, so I then named the nearby manager who had told me it was fine. The DRO then calls over this previously nonexistent store manager and gives BOTH of us a hard time, Next, the DRO brusquely tells me, "No open gaming!!!!" No apology to me nor any attempt to make things right. I tell this jerk, " I have been coming here for two years and dropping $30 - 150 a month here and that is over." The DRO jerk just shrugs. As I reached the exit, I thanked the store manager for being man enough to admit an error and apologize unlike his awful DRO boss. I sincerely hope this petty boss did not berate or punish the manager after I left. I will never return and my wargame group has already relocated to Gamer-Corps, Omnihedral, and Curio Cavern which are all in the area, do not give us crap, and do not charge us $10 to game. As a bonus, the bosses at those stores are nice, polite, and accommodating. They even greet me when they see me and bother to know my name. In fact, if someone there says I have a table the day before, there has always been a table even if it has been squeezing us in. You can bet you will see a generic reaction post from G&S of "We're sorry your last visit was not a good experience blah blah blah..." You can bet it will be hollow and empty words. read more

Large inventory for every kind of game you can imagine. If you like games, you'll get lost in here.

We love games and Stuff! We have been here countless times for Warhammer 40K and hobby paints and accessories. They have a nice selection and very friendly and helpful staff. They have loads of games from the classics to more niche things. It's a very large space with lots of cool inventory. Great prices and value for your money too! read more

THIS IS NOT the store to go to for anything trading card related. I went to get starter deck to make a playset, and they were charging 300 percent more than msrp. the new buggy was 45 dollars. insane pricing read more

Talk about a hostile environment for the workers. They aren't allowed to sit or rest on anything their whole shifts. Not only that, but they have no HR, so complaints are falling on deaf ears because they don't care about their workers. Despite their abundant selection, I refuse to support a business that degrades their employees. I can only hope that the workers wise up and unionize for their own sake. In an environment like this, is it any wonder that theyre severely understaffed? I would love to see as much care put into supporting their staff as there seems to be punishing them. There's better game stores in the DMV. read more

I'm here all the time. I'm a board gamer and ttrpg'r, I don't do card games which is another big part of this place. Pricing is okay, they stick to msrp, if you amazon or google you can get some games below msrp so you might want to shop around first if you want to be frugal. Also the price of the used games can be crazy, but I'm not in touch with the second hand market so those prices might be consistent with the market. That negativity aside, I love this place. I like to just browse and see what's new and sometimes pick something up. The selection is huge, and as my dad put it the first time I brought him, "you could spend thousands here!" The staff is friendly and always greets you when you enter and are willing to help you find what you need. One funny story about this place I have, the first few times I visited this place 2 years or so ago they had these wire racks that they stored pathfinder books on. The wire racks hooked upwards at the front to prevent the books tipping forward and off the shelf. However, since it was a wire rack this dug into the front of the book when it was tipped forward (as would often happen if you were trying to browse what books are behind it). Several of the books had gnarly dig marks in them. I told one of the employees that I think their setup is damaging their books and even gently demonstrated how the dig marks lined up with the wire racks and he just told me "oh no they came like that to us." lol ok, I didn't argue, not my battle. The books are in bookshelves nowadays, so this isn't an issue any more. read more

Love this place. I go there every time I'm in the Baltimore area, and I'm always in awe at their huge selection of games, books and toys. The staff is super friendly and approachable. read more

Every single member of the staff here is friendly and willing to help with just about anything. It doesn't ever feel like you're a burden or annoyance when you pop in, and half the time they strike up conversations about whatever you're buying or looking for. I love the environment here! If there were one thing I wish were different, it would be that they don't have any online ordering system for card singles, but when you go in and check out at the little laptop they have, their selection is actually pretty great! At this point, I pop in here to buy presents for all of my nerdy friends and relatives because they have a little bit of everything in their collection, so I know I'll always be able to find something cool and interesting for the occasion. read more

This game store is fabulous! They have all kinds of board, card, RPG, and party games. They also have books, Legos, and mini figures. Impeccable vibes and one of my favorite stores of all time. 10/10 recommend. read more

Was looking for Pokémon Leagues to play at as I look playing the game more. This spot has a well supported League on Tuesday evenings. You can play in their tournament that averages about 12 players or just come for casual play and trading. It's $10 either day and they have support from TPCI in way of play packs. Highly recommend supporting this spot. Friendly folks, plenty of parking, and glad to have come across them for when I'm close enough to play. read more

This game store is MASSIVE. It has a large variety of games from classics like Monopoly and Life to newer games like Everdell and Wingspan. All reasonably priced (perhaps a dollar or two more expensive than purchasing off Amazon, but worth it for the experience). Asked a worker for a game recommendation and he was very knowledgeable and was even able to walk me through some of the game play so I could best assess if it was a game that I wanted. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. I will 100% be stopping in again. read more

This is the best trading card and board game store on the planet. The staff is so nice, and with the huge area there is more than enough picks. Prices are a little expensive, but I would love to help out a small business! Would recommend! read more

Always had a good experience and good service. Lots of room for gaming. Can be a little crowded with card games especially during events, but still the best game store around! read more

Tons of different games, knowledgeable and helpful staff, great place, can't recommend highly enough.

Very pleasantly surprised at this game store. I saw an ad on Facebook for this store, and they were advertising a very hard to find item at a very fair price. I thought it was too good to be true, so I messaged them. They responded within minute letting me know they had the item in stock and ready to ship. I ordered it later that day. And it was set to ship the next day. It arrived in good time and in great condition. I will definitely use this company again! Thanks for being a great new option for my board game needs! read more

Best game store in the area! Staff is always so nice and helpful and very knowledgeable about their inventory! We have been multiple times and can't wait to go back again. They always have games on sale and have an amazing Used game section. They buy games and give you store credit for them. The also have a great kids game section! We have been to a few other game stores in the area and hands down this is the best one! read more

Really love this store. Great selection of games and Pokémon cards. Pokémon night is 6pm on Tuesdays. Love buying my Pokémon cards from Games and Stuff, because they are quality and not fakes. I highly recommend this store, quality/variety of products and friendly customer service. If you like board games like DnD definitely check it out read more

First time here and I'm in love! So many games to buy AND try. The demo shelf is the biggest I've ever seen! There's also a great community of gamers and a huge space for players in the back. And the best part? The ladies room is clean! If you're a lady gamer you've probably experienced the worst part of game stores... the bathrooms. But since this store is so huge there is a ladies-only bathroom and it's clean and there's soap and it smells good! We live 45 min. away and we're already planning on coming back! read more

Games and Stuff - So many games. This is only half of the shelves! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Glen Burnie, Maryland

Just the best. Great selection. Great service. Great events. Best board game store I've ever seen.

My son loves to game here. He is there pretty much there every week to play in their large game room. They have a large selection and the staff is really friendly. The store is really the only thing of note in that shopping center. I'm happy at least a couple of fast food places are nearby for a snack. read more

i go here every week to play d&d and it's perfection whenever we need a mini for the game we can just go and get it in the same store and the staff if super nice I highly recommend read more

I just had a fabulous shopping experience at this store . this Hidden Gem is not to be missed period an immense selection of games with many available to be demoed by a staff member while you are shopping From the first person to greet me when I walk through the door to the person manning the register I was made to feel welcome and more importantly than having a knowledgeable staff when a staff member didn't know they went and asked someone else to make sure I got the right answer period this speaks to training an A+ team effort Do yourself and your family a favor and go in today and see what games and stuff has to make your family fun that much more fun and more focused on your family read more

This shop use to be my go to for Pokemon cards but over the past year in a half they have been raising prices on anything they can just because there are scalpers on ebay selling it for more. I refuse to go here anymore. $80 for a vmax collection box that msrp is $40. And a UPC for $300 which the msrp is $120. This is disgusting and ruins the Pokemon hobby. Down the street is level up/mtg games and they have better pricing and far better selection and online pricing is way better better than what they offer here. Don't waste your time if you are searching for reasonable priced Pokemon products you have a better chance at your local target or Walmart. read more

Besides Labyrinth, down in DC, this is my favorite game store in the area. Games & Stuff is one of the best-stocked game stores in the region - you can usually find almost anything that's currently in print here, and a lot of stuff that isn't in their used games and RPGs section. They also usually invest in popular Kickstarters, so if you missed backing a game on KS you can probably pick up a copy here. If you are into miniatures, they have a ton, as well as a range of paints and airbrushes and supplies. Their bread and butter is definitely CCGs and LCGs - Magic, mostly, but they also have regular events for Star Wars: Destiny, L5R, etc. If you are not into those, the open gaming area in the back still has plenty of space and local groups frequently meet here just to play boardgames or RPGs. I like the staff and and the atmosphere. It's a wonderful place to browse around in. If Yelp allowed half stars, I'd ding them 1/2 star for two small things. First, their prices are definitely not low. While there is a customer loyalty program, it takes a lot of purchases to make it worthwhile. (If you're not someone who buys tons of Magic cards or Warhammer, etc., on a monthly basis, then about all you get is the occasional coupon.) I understand that brick and mortar stores can't give the discounts you get online, but just know that you're paying full MSRP for everything. Second, while they maintain a friendly environment and I've never seen any poor behavior (from players or employees), there does tend to be a... well, sadly, stereotypical "gamer funk" in the back room during big events. I don't know what it is about Magic players in particular, but I don't like playing here during these events because the combination of fast food and unwashed bodies often makes for a less than pleasant atmosphere. Honestly, I'm not sure what they could do about this (other than telling customers "Hey, take a shower before you come here" which I'm sure would not go over well), but it's a thing. read more

Games and Stuff is located in a trip mall across from the Cromwell light rail station. This huge store has table top games of every stripe and the supplies to go with them. This is a place that diehard gamers will enjoy exploring, and there is something for even the most casual player. I was looking for an obscure specialized game that they did not have but were able to order, but if you just need a quick gift or something for the beach this is the place to stop in and grab it. There is a huge section in the back with many tables for people to play games. It was absolutely packed on the weeknight I was there. This is more than a store, it's a community center. read more

Stopped by for something to do on a Friday night. I liked that they had tables set up with a few games to try out. They also have excellent used game & book sections. The back game room was running a Magic tournament, which isn't my thing, but seemed to be hopping. Well worth the visit! read more

This place is fantastic. Not only do they have the largest selection of games I've ever seen, they also have a big room in the back where you can try hundreds of games (for FREE) before you buy them. We stopped in with a few friends on a Saturday night to play games for a few hours, and had a blast. (And did I mention it was free?) Also, the folks who work here are really friendly and knowledgeable about games (but not pretentious about it). They gave us a few recommendations based on other games that we enjoy, and they were spot-on every time. Well worth the drive to Glen Burnie; we'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped in to catch a game while on a business trip. Exterior: the store is located in a strip mall with several different types of stores surrounding it. The parking lot is large, though it can be pretty full depending on day/time of day. However, I've never had an issue locating a parking spot. The store's name is nice and large and the windows leave no doubt that you are in the correct location. Interior: this is definitely a large store and is separated into two areas; sales in the front half and gaming in the back half. There is ample space in the front to move through the product selection and during my visits, it was always clean. The gaming section is separated from the front by a wall and large double doors. This definitely keeps the noise from the rear from wafting to the front of the store. The gaming area has loads of tables/chairs for a variety of different games. The only reason I give this location 4 instead of 5 is because of the open gaming area. Noise levels can get pretty high due to the open area and separated areas would definitely help in that arena. Other than that, this store would be a five. Staff: The staff has always been very polite and helpful. Inventory: Awesome! There is a wide selection of inventory covering a variety of different gaming interests. Overall, a great game store with a wide selection of games and plenty of room to play them! read more

I absolutely love this store. Every time I go, the staff is polite, the selection is great, and there's always stuff going on. They have a huge play space (my friend holds a 6 table RPG event here twice a year, and they can have a magic tournament at the same time and it isn't a big deal). They also have a pretty decent game library. it doesn't have everything, but it's the best of any store I've personally been to. I don't know anything about wargame tables, but they have several if that's your thing. They also have a good selection of dice, RPG books, board games, minis, etc. I'd provide constructive criticism, but the only thing I could say would be they should be located closer to my house :p read more

Game stores generally are underrated. However, game shops with an entire wall of games you can try out can't be rated highly enough. Yes, games have a dorky or nerdy reputation to them. Granted, it's well earned, but it doesn't make table top gaming any less fun. If you were turned off of games by Risk or Monopoly, know that games have come a long way. There are incredibly in depth complex games that make Risk look like tic tac toe - but there are also much faster simpler ones. I'd urge anyone to stop by a local game shop (or even message me) to find a great first time board game that will fit your personality. This very clean, well organized shop has hundreds of table top games of every type from children to classics to modern classics to super modern. They support a bunch of hobby style games (like War Hammer). The impressive part is the cafeteria like area in the back. It's a giant room of folding tables you can use to play games - either off the shelf of loaners or you can bring your own (or buy some while you're there). It could really use some ambience... but it's free, so I can't complain. The store really utilizes this extra space. They have scheduled war hammer games, and you might be mistaken that this is what the place is all about - but keep an eye on the listing of events because they have more. My favorite I've seen was a tournament of Ticket to Ride where they gave away a deluxe copy of the game. Many of the events are free. I'm leaving the best part for last. Many items in the shop are at the same price as Amazon. You can support your local business, get the item immediately, ask questions and the price might be the same! read more

Nice place. Smaller than some in the area, but bigger than most. There are a sweet collection of games - Brands running from Cheapass and Looney Labs to Rio Grande. Along the back wall is a collection of LAN machines for computer games like world of Warcraft, as well. The service is exemplary - several board games are open for demo playing and trying stuff out, and at least one of the employees was quite knowledgeable about some pretty arcane gaming trivia. I couldn't resist dropping $12 for 3 very inexpensive games - Change! , Cosmic Coasters, and The Very Clever Pipe Game. All of which should be wonderful additions to our games closet, and are pretty small and portable, should we decide to take 'em with us somewhere. Parking looks like it could be difficult - the private lot out back is happy to tow cars away - better to park on the street out front. read more

Games and Stuff has moved to their new location over across the street from Cromwell Light rail station. The new location is HUGE. They have of course their sales floor in the front but they have an equally huge room in the back dedicated to play space for table top and card games. Definitely give them a try. read more

I'm not super big into board and table top gaming, but my husband is, so we stop by here quite often. If you're into board games and table tops, this is your place. They have a load of games to offer, including a family-friendly section in the front. Personally, I'm more of a TCG player, so I find their selection a little lacking. They really cater to Magic: the Gathering and Pokémon. If you play anything else, there isn't much for you, except the standard solid colour Ultra Pro boxes and sleeves. For specialty items, look elsewhere. My husband and I came to check out the back gaming room and play a couple of rounds of our card game. We were hoping to meet fellow players of the game, but as expected, everyone was really in to their table top games. We felt a little out of place. One patron came up and asked what we were playing, then kind of scoffed and walked away... considering it was open-play, and we could play back there if we wanted, I thought he was being a little uncool. Unfortunately I get this vibe a lot when I go into game shops. The room is air conditioned, but has the classic faint smell of b.o., sadly. There were also some greasy prints on the table like someone had been eating back there, which kind of grossed me out. We pay a pretty penny for our mats, card sleeves, and holographic pieces of cardboard we play games with- I don't really want them getting greasy. I'd appreciate it if the staff could regularly wash down the tables or do a spot check. There is a whole wall of games to try back there... so if you're thinking about purchasing one, it seems like you can check it out and take it for a test run. The staff are pretty friendly, and mean well. They often ask if we're looking for anything, then shy away when we ask about more specific trading card game items. But ask about any of the games they have on hand, and they're experts, so ask them about a game if you're thinking about buying! read more

Congrats on losing a customer and here are my reasons. 1) To many Commander players so your other formats are lacking. The dry seasons can get extremely bad here where you aren't able to play. 2) Replenish your card pool. I get it commander players but up a lot but when someone is looking for something common why isn't it there? 3) Makes some room for those that don't play MTG. I'm a huge MTG player but I feel like to stuff the rest of the game playing community into corners. If you don't play magic my advice is don't come on magic nights. Even your Pokémon crowd doesn't take up all the space. 4) Been playing here for a few years now and loved it but it seems the scene now is less about allow your customer to enjoy their stay, free from management opinion and more about controlling the customer. To add... prices do not update regularly (bad for both the customer and store) they should definitely work on that. Location is getting worse and worse. Good luck I'll take my money elsewhere... read more

I've ben shopping here a long time, pretty much since I first got into Magic: The Gathering almost ten years ago. I've been a gamer my whole life, since my entire family plays Dungeons and Dragons, and it is wonderful to have a place like this that serves so many gaming needs. I'm not into Magic anymore, but as my taste in roleplaying, card, and board games have changed, this store has been here to help me with that. Whether buying a copy of something new, like a Vampire: The Requiem suppliment, or something from the last decade, like Werewolf: The Apocolypse Mind's Eye Theatre, or even something old and hard to find, like Marvel Superheroes Ultimate Powers book, this store either has what I am looking for, or knows where to find it. The staff are very friendly, open, and willing to help, while fellow customers are often willing to share a good gaming story or tidbit of knowledge. I would reccomend this store to pretty much anyone who's ever played a board game, trading card game, pen-and-paper game, or pretty much any kind of game, there's something here that will catch your attention. If you don't enjoy a visit to this store, you probably just don't like fun. read more

Games and Stuff and I have had a rocky relationship in the past. When it was a tiny little shop made out of what seemed like an old office building, I didn't like the atmosphere. It was rather cliquish, with some standoffish überdork behind the counter, that made you feel unwelcome. I often took my business elsewhere, unless I was desperate. I am recanting all previous opinions since they moved to their latest incarnations. For everything and anything gamer oriented, you cannot do better than G&S! And that's coming from someone who's been gaming since the mid-80's and patronized most of these stores (past and present), from Rockville to Annapolis. G&S has something for EVERYONE. Board games, from simple to complex? Yup. Card games, from collectible to classic? Yup. Wargames? Yup. Roleplaying games? Yup. Accessories for all of it all? YUP! The few times I've NOT found something, it was either A) out-of-print, B) sold out (and easily re-ordered), or C) simply didn't exist! The staff here have also had a major upswing since those days 15+ years ago. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and have helped me make great decisions on new games. I've even seen them step in when an event hit a problem and they needed someone to run or organize something. Speaking of which, they have a HUGE backroom for playing tons of games. I don't know if any of it is for open play, but there always seems to be something going on. I even know first-hand that Saturdays are full of tournaments and gaming sessions, from Magic to X-Wing. If painting is your thing, they even have paint stations in a quieter section of the store. If you're a gamer anywhere in the DC-Baltimore corridor, then Games and Stuff is a must visit. I've even swung through there on whims just to see what was new... and inevitably walked out with more to play! read more
