Very helpful with questions about the tea and interacts in casual conversation. They even provide free face masks and hand sanitizer. The Ginger Tea is incredibly warming on a cold winter day. Not sweet at all with the perfect amount of ginger! You get the warmth from the hot tea followed by a nice warm kick from the ginger. Love it! I can't wait to go back just for this. Located smack in the middle of Main Street it's hard to find parking but the perfect location to pop in if you're wandering Main Street. Or if this place is your destination you're luck because you're surrounded by tons of local shops to browse for the rest of your morning/afternoon. Inside the store is really quaint and cozy but well lit so you can see what you're shopping. The shelves are organized very well by product. There's games, puzzles, greeting cards, jewelry, tea sets, and much more! Past the games is the counter to order tea. Tons of seating spots, even kiddie seats and tables. The window display has this beautiful winter Christmas scene to add a sprinkle of festiveness to the place! If I wasn't recommended to this place by someone I would've missed it, it's hard to tell from the outside all the things it has to offer.

This store has model kits and minis for all your table games. Has a large selection of unique board games that you'll find one that will draw you in, also a good variety of ttrpg's. Card games can get stringy, mainly due to local tcg trends, you'll find lorcana, magic the gathering, and Pokémon. So as someone who plays yu-gi-oh, I'm out of luck but I know I'm not the main demographic. I'm going to say that for what you're getting its pricing is pretty reasonable. Ever. Time I'm there fun, friends, and community always fill my heart

I have been stopping at a board game shop in every town I have been visiting. This was the best one…read morenear Parsippany, NJ we were visiting for a convention. This was in Booton, NJ, on the way back to Syracuse, NY. The shop was a large room with tables for open gaming and tournaments, and the walls were lined with merchandise for sale--ranging from board games to trading cards. There was plenty of light, and the people playing Magic towards the back were very friendly and welcoming. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice! The coolest part is you can ask for the secret password, based on a quest posted outside the space down the road a little bit, and you can get into the Gaming Lounge addition. When you go in to the Gaming Lounge, it feels like you're stepping into some kind of hobbit hole, and the further back you go, the more space there is to play games with friends. There is even a fireplace! The space is super cozy and features a huge wall of games to play with friends. If I lived anywhere near by, I would go to this shop all the time! The cards they sold were even reasonably priced, so I also love that.

I felt welcomed, the place is clean, and for a Saturday afternoon during COVID, the place was…read morehopping! But I've definitely seen places with a bigger selection and more game knowledge. The shopkeeper listened intently while I told him what kind of gaming experience I was looking for. But it didn't go a lot farther than that. I wanted something narratively heavy, with less rule complexity and overhead than Lord of the Rings: Journeying through Middle Earth. He didn't really have an answer for me, and I felt I gave him a lot to work off of. To give you an idea how small this place is - the pictures in this review represent half the games in the store. There's one extra bookshelf that I didn't catch and there's a display case in front with CCG cards. Shopping experience aside, you can tell this place has a good community. There were four tables occupied in the back around 4 PM on a Saturday - maybe representing 10 people - and there's a big communal shelf you can draw from if you want to play in house. I'd come back to play and make new friends.

I came to irl game shop originally for free RPG day. It's a nice shop in the mall that has at least…read moretwo tables for games. And how did some other tables set up that might be for wargaming or maybe magic as well as a collection of different board games and other table top hobbies. They had a nice selection of paints and other supplies for painting miniatures. I even was able to pick up these tiny little cutting masks for working with little bits of bobs, which was all very reasonable price. They also had 3D printers there and I think if you needed to have a miniature printed you have to email a specific person at the shop and they can do that for you. All in all, this is a pretty nice local friendly game store and definitely worth patronizing over the corporate behemoths. Additionally, it doesn't hurt. There's not many in the area and this is probably the closest one for a long drive. So if you have any game store needs you should definitely check this place out.

I already own a number of 5e books and adventures, so I don't need anything else, really. One thing I would like to see in this store is some unique battlemats that I don't already have!

The price is $10 per visit. They allow outside food and there are drinks to buy at the store. The store is decorated with lots of game memorabilia and they have games to buy as well.

There is a large closet where there are games stacked up to the ceiling and you can play any of the games in the game library. We also bring our own games to play. The owner is very nice and accommodating. He allowed us to reserve in advance a night to play games. If you like a place to come, hang out and have a relaxed night playing games, then this is the place.

I attended a League Cup as a player on December 7th, 2025. During one of the rounds, I witnessed…read morethe following incident between two players, I will refer to here as Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1, who was new to completive play, shuffled his deck after a deck search, but did not offer it to Player to for a cut before drawing from a card effect. Player 2 called a judge after this happened. After reviewing the situation, the judge issued Player 1 a warning for failing to present the deck for a cut. Following this ruling, Player 2 became visibly upset and began using profanity and getting very angry, where I was feeling unsafe. Player 1 attempting to deescalate the situation responded, "you don't have to rule shark me over it." Player 2 then escalated the situation by saying, " meet me outside and see what F***ing happens" along with other curses and violent threats. The head judge, Alan, attempted to disqualify both players, despite Player 1 being the target of the threats. Player 2 left the venue. Player 1 stated he would contact the police regarding the threats if he was disqualified, the judges allowed Player 1 to stay and finish the tournament, where he placed second. During the tournament, Judge Alan proceeded to act unprofessionally towards Player 1, and threw prize packs aggressively at him at the end of the rounds. After the event concluded, the judges informed Player 1 that he was banned from future tournaments at that store. Based on what I witnessed, and as an active member in the community and pokemon professor, I believe this decision was unfair, as Player 1 did not instigate the confrontation and was subjected to direct threats from Player 2. This store and the judges have a very bad reputation in the area, being unfair to new players and unsafe for women to play. The judges have also made fun of the community calling them "autistics". I strongly believe that they should not be in good standings with the Pokemon Play Community and should not be a sanctioned store.

With Spider-Man and a…read moresmiling Pikachu beckoning from the main window display, it's hard not to walk in and check it out. Inside the store, the first area to greet you is board games, with options for different game styles and interests available. Pretty ok selection for reasonable prices. Towards the middle of the store is the cash register area on the right with collectors' "weapons" displays overhead for safe keeping and display. To the left is a section with American DC/Marvel comics and a small shelf of manga. Further back is a smaller, more specific modeling and other comic related section, followed by open tables in the back for Magic and other card games. Terrific idea to incorporate tables for player interaction and provide a space for gamers to enjoy games in person. In the very back is an e-sports area with consoles and computers set up. When I visited, these weren't in use, but good idea for non-covid times. I also noticed signs posted up for special game nights on certain days a week, for example one sign listed a Pokémon weekly game night. Covid-related: staff wore masks as did most of the patrons. There is a sign on the door requesting customers to wear face coverings. There did not seem to be a limit on # of people in the store, and when I was there on a Saturday early afternoon there was probably around 10 people in the front section of the store and about a dozen seated in the game-play area in the back.
