Great place to meet new people and play cool adventures! The store also has really nice dungeons and dragon accessories for you to enjoy.

Wonderful service here, that alone will make me come back. However the amount I'd 5.0 D&D stock was impressive. I will be back just to buy stuff I can touch and decide on. Picked up some miniatures, a funny sticker for my some and a compact dice box. read more

This is such a neat little mom and pop game store that is tucked in a quiet and cozy little part of town. The store owners, Tama and Jason are friendly, they will be quick to show you around & answer any questions you may have. They have a variety of books, miniatures, plushies and board games. Many gaming accessories for those that are into that type of stuff. Very fantasy like spot that will buzz the imagination of any that walks into the shoppe. You can also rent a board game and play with friends. Oh Tuesday evenings, the community hosts dungeons and dragons board game nights. A popular game from the 80s that has definitely had a revamp and has its own return into the world of board games. This is a fun little store where you can really be yourself and tap into your imagination. Dressing up in costumes is allowed and you can play the role of any character that comes to mind. Halloween is probably such a fun little time to explore Golems Gate, as well as any other seasonal holiday. Bring in your friends to this store and have fun! The more the merrier. This spot is a little nostalgic for those that love anything retro as well. A place where you can chat it up, put your phones away and do something a bit different. How's that for nostalgia? Cheers! read more

Great gaming spot; pleasant, welcoming clientele and smooth, professional staff. Lots of in-house resources and materials for active games, even if the selections for purchase are a bit more slender than you might find at other stores. read more

Great find. Nice folks. Albeit eccentric, these folks are very normal not super geeks like elsewhere

Really neat place. Lots of games to play! You can paint miniatures too. Friendly staff

Community and group was friendly worker was able to point out things I was looking for, they have many many things to get a night of DnD going would definitely recommend coming if your looking for supplies, figures, books and many more things to get a good night of DnD going read more

I love this place. It's like a first home. My first home is now my second home. It's okay it had a good run. Best games best times best friends this place has it all!! Cmon down and stay for a game. Anyone from any walk of life welcome and appreciated. We only judge dice rolls here! read more

This place was so cool and the had so many things that I hadn't really seen anywhere else! I love the way they had things set up and they have subscriptions you can pay for to use certain things and areas in the store. They're subscriptions are reasonably priced as well as well worth it! I'd say this is the best place for D&D and other things alike! read more

This is the best-looking gaming store I've seen in the Houston area; from the "gate" that's lacquered onto the main entrance to the wooden laminate and "torches" that adorn the walls. If you're looking for ambiance, this place has it in spades. It's also the pretty much the only gaming store (that I know of) in the Sugar Land/Fort Bend area, so gamers living on the southwest side should be happy that they now have a place to play at. Unlike most comic book stores that people think about when they hear the word "geek store", this place is dedicated mostly to tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, Savage Worlds, X-Wing miniatures, etc. Magic the Gathering will come soon, according to the owner, once they're fully registered with the Wizards Play Network. There are also several board games on display, but I'm not very familiar with those since I'm mostly a videogame snob. :P Most of the area is taken up by tables for people to play on, and there's even a huge special back room with shelves of figurines and set pieces that you and your group can use when you reserve it. Indeed, the store seems to be dedicated to group play; they regularly set up sessions throughout the week for D&D, Savage Worlds, and other systems for players to come in and try. Players who are interested in joining can sign up on their mailing list or Meetup page in order to be notified. They've only been open for 2 weeks so nothing is set in stone yet, but so far I've seen that Wednesdays are very popular for D&D/Pathfinder, while Fridays and Saturdays tend to have X-Wing, Savage Worlds, and other games throughout the day. So if you and your group are looking for a place to play, or if you're a player that's looking to find others to form a group with, you should definitely check this place out. read more

This place literally taught me how to roleplay. My first ever DM bought me a pair of dice because that is the culture of this place. They are all about bringing in new players, but they are still committed to those who have been playing for years. The app that they use (Meet Up) makes it so easy to enter campaigns. I've been to every place in Houston that offers D&D but Golem's is the only location that actually caters to the needs of the nerds. I have been here for a month, and I can attest that the cashier knows 20+ members by name. This is by far an above-average business, and I will continue to give them my business because they cater to every individual's needs. read more

I'm a long-time gamer and was searching for somewhere to play D&D after moving back to town. I LOVE Golem's Gate! I came here to join a friend's D&D game and never left! Sign ups are easy with meetup.com and the place always has the best people inside! A great place for all the gaming supplies you'd need for D&D, Magic the Gathering, Pathfinder, and so much more! Bring the kids to play a pickup board game after school or sign up for an all-day gaming event on a Saturday! So much fun!! read more

Great collection of games and friendly staff. Went in looking for one game specifically. Had called ahead and they were able to help me one I arrived in person. Only wished I could've stayed to explore their collection more. Would highly recommend! read more

Gaming here is great. Good people. Mini's galore... recently reopened with people in mind. Tables were spaced. As June started added the 4th table back. If live to game, come join! read more

Whether you're new to gaming (board games, tabletop, Magic TCG...) get thee to Golem's Gate. They have ongoing events every single night that is probably going to appeal to you. Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Star Wars stuff, Magic The Gathering: yes, yes, yes, and YES. Extremely friendly owners who want YOU to WANT to game. They'll put you in something, and if all the tables or full, they'll find something for you to do. They're adding merchandise selection all the time. Most recently more and more miniatures for the painting. Oh, and guess what? They've got a station loaded with paints and supplies to use once you've bought it! Seriously, there's always something going on. We signed up for a Wednesday night table, only to show up and find it full. (That poor DM running 12 people at a time!) The female owner promised she'd call her husband to come run us through something. (That's customer service!) But we ended up joining another table for Pathfinder and am now rolling through a dungeon with our Witch and Samurai. *mad cackle* There's a clean restroom and snackage if you get hungry. Prices are extremely reasonable. I'd say based on how busy this place is - the SW side has been lacking a place like this for some time. read more

Sugar Land's tabletop game destination - Golem's Gate! Super friendly owners, always bustling with different games in progress, great selection of goods plus they will special order on request. I attend a regular weekly game on Wednesdays, and the place is always hoppin'. There are games every night of the week. Go there a few times, and it really is the place where everybody knows your name. Go there now! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Absolutely love Golem!!!!!! I always look forward to when I'm in the area because I know I will find something there! The owners are amazing, and are super friendly too! I will always recommend them!!! read more

Stopped in one day just to see what this place was like. Oh my goodness am I in love! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. They are helpful to both novice and experienced game players alike. The facility is kept clean and smells very pleasant. This Is a nice change from most game shops. If you are ever curious about D&D, pathfinder or really most board games, do yourself a favor and stop inside. I am glad I did. read more

I dropped in to play D&D and found it to be much better than the average card and comic store. The prices are fair, the selection is good, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It's really cool that they've got the whole place decorated like a fantasy style cottage. I could tell the owners actually care about the local tabletop community and that makes a huge difference. I'm sure this place will be a Houston geeky destination for years to come! read more

I stopped in to this wonderful gaming store and I was absolutely amazed. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by one of the owners. I was looking for some minis for my session of D&D that I was running that evening. She spent about 45 minutes with me helping me find what I needed and also gave me a tour of the place. If you are looking for a place to get some great stuff for your game, you need to check this place out. I will be returning. read more

Play D&D Adventures League here, it was a good time (even though I died, totally my fault). Received a 6-sided die with the numbers as skulls, so that made it totally worth dying. Plan on playing a lot more AL here. read more

Great store and relaxed atmosphere. More of a Club House to play and paint then to buy models. Staff is friendly and they always have events going on. Great place to learn about D&D or get a game with friends. I hope they are at this location for a long time. read more

We are very picky when it comes to game shops. This shop passes the bar easily. They are welcoming to both guys and girls alike, younger and older gamers, newbies and old hands. The only 'complaint' is that I would like to see more older edition and back catalogue books for sale. read more
