What we thought it was going to be a maybe Halloween theme bar it ended up being much more. This bar is Specifically for gamers (board games, Trivia's , role players) the have all kind of board games at the bar to borrow and tables are set to play in them. They also have food and drinks. We decided to try the witches brew and the mana potion. Both drinks were delicious. Out bartender gave us the idea of taking a picture using the flashlight of the other phone. Overall a really cool place to hang out.

I first went here when I planned my partner's 40th birthday and we had such a great time drinking cocktails and playing Catan. The second time we went here it was to bring my out-of-state friends who love board games. That time we rented out one of their board games for free, which was nice. Great place to try some new games for free and to order some fun food and cocktails. Everything we've had so far has been great!

I didn't really have any expectations and decided to just check it out but ended up very surprised. First off, the service here is top notch. Since we walked in to when we left, the people here are the prime example of customer service. Great job guys! There are a ton of new and used puzzles, board games, records, etc here. The prices are in between a thrift store and places that only sell new stuff if that makes sense? Especially if you're looking for board games, you would really enjoy this place. There were so many here that I have never heard of before. I got a used puzzles here for $7! I look forward to coming back here and browsing around!

The joys of discovering a comic shop in the mall. Where geek culture thrives, and new adventures…read moreawait. Or at least, that's what we thought. What we actually found was a frustrating barrier to entry, not just into the store's event, but into the hobby itself. Let's talk about the Gundam TCG beta event. You'd think being physically present, cash in hand, eager to participate would be enough. Nope. The real gatekeeper? A smartphone. No phone, no game. It doesn't matter if you're a dedicated player or a teen excited to get into the hobby--if you don't have the app, you're out. And let's not forget, to even use the app, you have to hand over your personal data and jump through digital hoops. When I called ahead to confirm, I was given a workaround: "Just emulate the app on a computer." Sounds simple, right? Except, if you actually read the terms of service, that's a violation of the rules. So, the store's solution? Encourage rule-breaking just to participate in an event they're hosting. Yikes. This is exactly how you alienate an audience. Five eager teens, $70 per player, all turned away because they didn't meet a completely unnecessary tech requirement. And that's just us. We have a group of dads and teens always wanting to dabble in new games to see if they hold their weight. There were plenty of other potential players in the same boat. Imagine the revenue lost. Imagine the enthusiasm squashed. All because we agree smart phones dont belong in our teens hands. Now we got this store trying to tell us our kids need smart phones. This store, like its now-closed predecessor in the Mills, seems to have forgotten a key business principle: know your customer. Not every hobbyist is glued to a smartphone, and forcing a tech barrier on a physical card game is absurd. We play these games because we would rather play these than sit on a phone. The whole situation is ironic. 1/10--because at the end of the day, a comic shop should bring people into the hobby, not shut them out. Good luck--you're going to need it.

Took my niece and nephew (ages 7 & 9) here to buy Pokemon cards. Price was fine (market price) ,…read morebut not nearly close to MSRP. They did hold a phantasmal flames UPC for us and gave us $5 off. Came out to $210. The place has reeked of weed since I first stepped foot into it 5 years ago during Covid. The incense is not helping. Pretty uncomfortable to take children into a business with the haze of marijuana inside. Anyway, a youngster comes in looking to sell his Pokemon collection, and of course the kids and I are interested to see the collection. The owner nearly kicks us out of the store for even looking at it. He refused to let us even see. Not like we were going to buy anything... I'd never seen such a practice. I will not return. Basically a hangout for potheads playing warhammer. Pony tail guy... get your act together.

I've been coming in this place for a long, long time. Decades. Going back to when they were in…read moreCherry Creek area. I understand how it's work to keep everything updated on the website. But it's worth it. Now that they do not, I find it interesting that some of the staff there will bitch about Amazon and how it's had a horrible effect on the business. Or seem so impatient on the phone when I called to ask questions about what I used to be able to look up online. What's my option for shopping? I can call down and if they're busy, no one can go look for anything, I can come down and search around, and hopefully they have what I want. Or... If I know exactly what I want, I jump on Amazon, look it up and order it. And let me be clear: I really am not a fan of Amazon. I think they're the devil. I am more than willing to pay more for the convenience of local store stores, and I also like supporting local businesses. Wizard's Chest needs to figure out what it wants to be. I'd suggest bringing back the ability to look up items online, and failing that, make sure all the staff understands positive service for people who call up and ask questions. I'd be more than willing to pay a little more for the convenience of picking it up the same day.

There were boardgames and card games (i.e. Magic/Pokémon/etc...). On the other side was tables for miniatures to do battle! It took a few laps around looking at all the product to see what was there for sale. Good selection of games, minis, paints, game books, and cards. I'd have to say the cards probably make up the lion share but the game side is not small by any means. I was looking for some stuff and happened on to the employee who was doing inventory. He walked me over to what I was looking for. I was glad, wallet not so much! I just came to look! Honest! The energy is good in the store. I didn't ask if it costs to rent game space nor did I spot any food options (didn't really look.). The employees II talked to were all very helpful with whatever I asked.
