So this review is coming strictly from a comic book collector. I just moved here and was looking…read morefor a new comic shop close by and saw the reviews for this place so I decided to check it out. I would say about 85% of the shop is for board game style items. They have a large room for people to play and for tournaments. Now for my comic book review of this place. They have a very small selection of comics with no back issues, but they do have a ton of the new books that come out weekly. Also which was a surprise is that they carry some of the ratio variants which is great. Plus they can order whatever you want if you give them some advance to order it. They also give you 10% off your books when you open a pullbox which is normal for comic shops. I definitely recommend this place to get your weekly issues

I was greeted when I walked in, I browsed for a while, they had so many games!! Eventually they checked on me and I told them what I was looking for and they made some recommendations which was nice. I ended up getting one of the recommended games and they were telling me about the game nights and different events they host weekly. Generally a great game store as well as nice staff.

They had it, at a better price than Amazon, so I ordered it for pickup. Process was smooth When I got there the full nostalgia wave hit. Racks and racks of RPGs. Paints. Models. Games.

The building…read moreit's located in is over hundred years old and you can feel it in the low ceilings and incredible library ladders and stairs. The store is deep and keeps going too the further you explore inward. An impressive selection of topics are available. It's an old bookstore but it's got contemporary finds. I was especially pleased with their LGBTQ+ and gender studies sections-- I could read forever and never get through all the books they had! Prices seem to be reliably a hair off MSRP, which is nice considering today's economy. It can be expensive to stay educated! The employees were all quite friendly and eager to assist in helping me find what I was looking for. They also have things like puzzles, journals, planners, calendars, greeting cards, stickers, postcards, and more, along with their own merch of T-shirts, sweatshirts, book bags, mugs, etc.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to review, but this is my favorite place in the Twin Cities to buy books. I used to live uptown and now live pretty far away, but I still make the journey here. As other reviewers have noted, it's bigger than it looks. A grower not a show-er. A clown car of books. I have sold books here and also bought used books here, which I love, because that's the only way I can afford to read as much as I want. A library card only gets you so far when you're on a crazy long waitlist for a new release. So far, I've never not been able to find what I want here. Staff is very helpful. They have a nice little children's section too. I always try to give books as a gift to kids. And I love that they give free bookmarks at checkout, because I like to read multiple books at a time.

Store is small but it is at the mall of America so... ps: I don't like the mall of America. Biggest downfall was they didn't honor my yelp coupon for a free fidget spinner so if you have one from yelp they will not honor it. I asked both employees and they said they don't have any yelp coupons even though it says to ask the cashier. Probably won't be back, don't like the mall and more items to select online.

Some of your employees have an air or awkwardness too. I love board games...I hope I'm not too awkward. So after an overeager salesperson told me to buy a game I wasn't sure about, I naturally checked out the reviews online and the price online was actually about 15% higher! That never happens! And GbJ gives large portions of their profits to local groups that I also support. They understand the power of games to connect people, and how many games can be used in therapy settings of all kinds. That's cool.
