This place works great for me because it's really close to my house and it's locally owned. That way I don't have to drive a long way to find what I need for my Dungeons and Dragons campaign. The Hero's Emporium has always had a great selection of brushes, paints, and miniatures that I have come to rely heavily upon as a Dungeon Master. I am always able to find the miniatures that I am looking for whether that be a female gnome paladin or several packages of gnolls that I can paint and throw at my party. All the miniatures are very reasonably priced too, so I can get even larger miniatures like a storm giant for only around $15. For as long as miniatures take me to paint, this is well worth the money. I also want to mention that they offer a decent selction of dice sets to choose from, which is important for any D&D campaign, especially when your dice are fickle. I also love that they offer both old and new sourcebooks for D&D as well as official Nolzurs paint sets, and Icons of the Realms. This gives me a large pool to choose what will be most exciting for my party. Finally I wanted to mention that this business has also done tabletop nights. Although I personally have not attended one of those events, I support the space this business is building for the tabletop community. The staff has also always been very welcoming and helpful, making sure that I am finding everything that I am searching for. I am also occasionally able to find expansion packs for a bit more obscure card game called Smash Up here, which is delightful considering that it's so hard to find in just a regular store like Target. I will continue to come back and support this business in their mission to help the tabletop community thrive.

Been coming to The Game Preserve since before they moved into their current location, back when…read morethey were operating out of the storefront next door. Watching a good local game shop level up to a better space and somehow get even better in the process is the kind of origin story worth being loyal to. The selection here is the real deal. Puzzles, board games, TCGs, and enough variety to make you forget you came in with a specific mission. For me that mission is almost always the Magic: The Gathering singles wall, which The Game Preserve stocks with the kind of depth and organization that makes the whole experience feel less like digging through a binder at a flea market and more like consulting the Jedi Archives. Everything is where it should be, which sounds basic until you've experienced the alternative. The staff is where this place genuinely separates itself from the competition. These are not people who just work at a game store. These are people who actually play, who know the cards, who understand why you need a specific version of a specific card for a specific deck and don't make you feel like you need to explain yourself from the beginning. Case in point: on one visit a staff member helped me track down the perfect Sol Ring for my Commander deck. Not just any Sol Ring. The right one. That level of product knowledge and genuine engagement is rarer than a foil mythic and worth just as much. The rewards program is a legitimate reason to make this your regular stop if you're a frequent buyer. Points add up, the benefits are real, and it actually feels like the store wants your repeat business rather than just tolerating it. Five stars, long time customer, no plans to stop. The Force has always been strong with The Game Preserve and the new location only confirmed it.

They seem to have a larger focus on trading cards and accessories than board games and puzzles, the latter of which I'm most interested in. If I wanted a specific game, I'd likely go to their website first to check stock or order ahead rather than visiting in-store. Regardless, I'm glad to have a local business to support for puzzle and board/card game purchases!

From registration to the final round, everything was organized, on time, and genuinely fun. No chaos, no dark side rulings, just solid event management. The Magic community here is strong. Friendly players, good vibes, and a welcoming atmosphere whether you're a veteran Jedi or still figuring out which lands to tap. It's the kind of shop where you feel comfortable coming back even if you don't know everyone yet. Moon Shot Games has earned a repeat visit. Great staff, great events, and a community worth supporting. The Force is strong here, and I'll definitely be back for future missions.

They specialize in underground games, small indie games and Kickstarter-backed games. Good Games is located in downtown Indianapolis, just off of Monument Circle.

Running a comic shop can be tough, but for some stores, the joy of browsing old issues and feeling…read morethe comics is what makes them special. Unfortunately, this store doesn't quite capture that magic. Upfront, I want to say that it appears to have been around for a while, attracting dedicated comic fans. It is doing something right. It also hosts local card tournaments (and maybe D&D?), but I can't speak to the variety of those. This might be their bread and butter. Not sure. The comic section, however, is a mess. As soon as you walk in, you pass a narrow row of shelves about 5 feet tall facing away from you--it's unclear why, but it makes the space feel small or uninviting. Still, it isn't a large space, and it doesn't match the charm of classic comic shops. Felt more like I was entering a dark porn store from the 80s. For my trip, I had read revieews and as a local comic store, I wanted to check it out. I was looking for back issues. Remember stores with hundreds of boxes overflowing with comics packed in too tight to see the comics? Yep, that is this place. Navigating the shop is tricky: new comics are on hanging shelves too close together, forcing you to crouch and strain to see them under the shelf above. Independent comics are on the far left of the store in the back - between the boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of back issues. The backstock is packed with rows of comics, about 25% overflow in each box (plus stacks of comics on top of those boxes). Very hard to browse. When you do find a title, the comics tend to be dusty, and although sealed, I didn't have my glasses to check for spine ticks or other issues. But, it can't be good to store comics on top of a box without a lid. If you're hunting for key back issues, forget it--these have been picked over like roadkill in the desert; there's nothing valuable left. Instead, you'll find many comics priced between $1-$2, labeled at $4-$8 or more, but most are from the past and generally worthless. I can't tell if the store is clean, but it felt dirty (maybe the lighting or the dusty boxes?). If I were to advise the store - even though they seem to be doing fine - I'd suggest selling your stock on Whatnot, starting at $1 per comic, to gauge interest. If you can clear out 35% of your back issues that way, you won't need to sell low-value comics at higher prices. I understand the reluctance to take losses - I've felt the same - but if your stock is holding back from creating a warm, vibrant, energetic atmosphere, it might be worth doing. There's no shame in dumping unsellable stock as a tax write-off. Listing those low-priced comics at $4-$6 could generate significant revenue and help the store thrive. Personally, I think this is the best approach, as you don't need to spend hours selling thousands of comics. I will note that the staff were friendly. I spoke with one staff member and they are knowledgeable about the stock they had. My guess is this might be where the store shines for people. The human touch. I so wanted to like this place. But, maybe I wait until I make trips to Chicago in the future.

If you request a card pull, they fully expect you to purchase the entire lot despite condition, price, or edition (in my case a 13 quantity card pull).

Verbatim, I was told that they price explicitly off of TCG player, so I wouldn't waste your time getting finessed here and just go through TCG Player.
