I will be talking about my experience in playing Magic the Gathering at the Games Corner.
The place is small and overcrowded. Some nights you can't even hear what the player opposite you is saying.
The staff are very rude. If you have any sort of mental illness, or disagree with them about anything, they don't care.
They told me that they have banned people from going there.
The shop has the bare minimum of each gaming franchise. My friend and I both wanted to buy the same Commander deck, but they only had one copy.
Events usually start late, because the owner refuses to use his computer to enter players names. Everything must be written by hand on a piece of paper, and then entered into a computer.
This happened at the last prerelease, making us all wait for half an hour before we could play. I tried to explain to the owner that he could just enter names straight into the computer, but he just said it was his shop and he would do what he wanted.
That's the kind of service I'm talking about.
If you want to eat before playing you are limited to Indian food, Pizza Hut, or a very bad charcoal chicken joint.
The place is miles away from Parramatta Station, taking around 30 minutes to walk there.
There are much better places in Parramatta to play cards. read more
