Legitimately my favorite spot to find dice, minis, maps, paint, board games, and tons more! I…read morestopped in twice last week and happily purchased SO MUCH. I would have spent more, but the last time I was in, there was an unpleasant young lady behind the counter who I apparently inconvenienced by grabbing more items when I didn't get what I was hoping for from the Ravenloft blind box. She wasn't afraid to tell me so. Outside of that individual, The Sanctum is like Shangri-La for TTRPG fans.

(Originally posted mid2022) We stopped by The Sanctum last…read moreweek--three times! We first went to get a copy of the Star Wars Outer Rim expansion. We weren't certain if they'd have it since the game was only released that day. They did! We were so impressed, we stopped by later with our son and checked the store out. Their inventory was quite impressive. They had games of all types as well as other items like dice, card protectors, and puzzles. They also had an impressive selection of games to rent--we're not sure what game to rent first! Also, their collection of used games is diverse and well-priced. Finally, their gaming area is attractive. It's well-lit with comfortable seating. Each time we came in, we were greeted by a friendly staff. In fact, when I was pondering a game they had open and on display, an employee came over to explain the game to me. Very helpful. We'll definitely be spending more time (and money) at the Sanctum. What a great place!! (Update, Six months later: As we expected, six Sanctum has successfully prompted us to spend more money on games and game-adjacent items. The owners are wonderful--we've taken several of their recommendations and no regrets. The space has matured and morphed, and we love the changes. We've rented games, tried a game night, joined their frequent buyers program, bought and sold used games, and purchased numerous gifts for gamers and non-gamers. Sometimes we stop in just because we love the vibe of the place. We did that last night and bought the early release of the Wingspan expansion. Couldn't be happier to have them in the neighborhood!)

The last thing I needed that day was a key chain. I wandered into the Trophy shop to kill time…read morebefore another appointment. I thought a small trophy would make a cute personal gift for a relative, friend, or business associate when the owner brought out a keychain. Not just an ordinary keychain. This one was crystal with an engraving inside of someones pet. I was told that with a photo of the pet or person a precise likeness was engraved and placed inside the crystal, and when a small button was pushed it even lit up. Wow,, What a neat gift that would make for my daughter. I spent the next 2 weeks at her house 100 miles away desperately attempting to get just the right pic of her much adored dog never believing just what I would see when I picked it up. I was stunned.. It WAS the dog. Not just the copy of a Border nor a drawing or painting. How they did it was beyond me. My daughter was beyond thrilled, and said it was the best gift she was ever given, and I was the greatest mom in the world. How cool is that!

The selection is nice here…read more Unfortunately the place smells gross and becomes more overwhelming the longer you are in there. I had to go wait in the car because it was too much. The owner was very nice What was supposed to be a quick browse to look at the model car choices and paint selection turned into being inside for an hour minimum The paint we picked out has to get returned since there was chunks of something in it.
