I acknowledge that your local game store is going to pull all sorts of demographics. As a parent, I…read moredidn't know what to expect bringing my 5-year-old into the local game shop. But this is definitely going to be a local store that we'll be going to a lot more, even if the prices are a little higher for them to make margins. This is the kind of game store I want in keep in our community! I'll admit I was a little apprehensive to engage with the staff at first due to my inexperience in this kind of envitonmemt, but my kid immediately gravitated toward the Pokemon cards behind the glass counter and we were asked if there was anything we needed help with. We have been looking all over for affordable, genuine cards to little avail. Unfortunately, the cards at this shop were all way outside our range (he's just trying to get started out): $45+ booster boxes or $5+ individual cards. We were obviously not going to be able to make a purchase today (looking for something like one $5 booster pack) but the team member was very helpful taking the time to explain the kids trading card market, suggest other places to look, offer advice on finding affordable cards, and let my kid take his time to pour over the cards behind the counter. On the way out, he generously shared a simple gift that meant so much for my kid. I don't know if he'll read this but thank you so much for making my kid's day - he was over the moon to have some Pokemon cards of his own to share with his friends at school. This is the kind of local game store that is a treasure to have in the community. I definitely will be bringing my kids around in the future to support it some more! Thanks again!

After having Sunday brunch nearby I was looking for video game stores to stop at on my way back to…read moreWisconsin. Everything Games was close by and open, so I drove over to check them out. The store is impressive. They have an awesome selection of retro video games, board games, LEGO, miniatures for Warhammer, anime related plush, sports cards, and card games like Magic, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh. There's even a good size gaming area where I saw people playing in a card game tournament. As good as the inventory was, their customer service was even better. A specific video game I wanted was priced $10 more than the current market value, so I brought that to their attention. Rather than getting mad and arguing with me about their prices, the employee pulled up the same website I was using for a reference and confirmed what I was seeing. He then adjusted the price without hesitation. Now that's customer service. I would glad to go out of my way to come back to Everything Games next time I'm in the Chicago area.

The store is very clean and the game playing tables are the best. This is the only game store we've been in with top notch table & chairs. The store has a huge game selection, paints, minis, family games, puzzles & more. They have an Adventure Club which is worth investing in. I love that he works with other local businesses which gives a discount to club members. The staff are always friendly & helpful. The owner, Tim, is super friendly. We are very thankful he has this store. It is one of our top fav stores ever and we've been to a lot of them. More photos later! Go to this store if you are anywhere near it!

Some new guy was working there that I didn't recognize. I like him a lot better. We talked about a lot of game related things that I don't want to bore you with here and go super-nerd on you. Just wanted to post an update, because that one guy's attitude shouldn't reflect on the store, but it kinda does. When you work there, you represent it. If that one guy still works there, I hope he has a better day and better interactions with customers. Especially someone like me who doesn't take up a lot of their time or space, just comes in spends a lot and leaves. Probably the best kind of customer you'd want.

I took in a…read morerather large assortment of magic and Pokémon cards, hoping to learn a little bit more about the game and maybe get some money back. The person at the front of the store was extremely uninviting extremely unknowledgeable. He actually ended up, scamming me for most of my cards saying none had value. I was offered five dollar store credit for a lot of cars that looked at after the further research would've ran me well over $200 for the whole lot. Of course, now being a little bit more into the trading card community, this is not the way to treat people who don't understand the value of their items. Absolute scammers didn't even have any sealed product in stock. Felt like me coming into the store and being there literal only customer of the day was the employees biggest headache yet. Please God find a different card shop.

Plenty of parking nearby ( a whole parking lot to the North of the store ). I walked in and immediately greeted by a pleasant employee, Sam. I was surprised at how much this shoppe has! They have paint, for those crafting or school projects with your kiddos, they have UNO card game, and puzzles galore! If you're looking for a game and then don't have it, they can special order it for you. Rooms with large tables to play games with others-sign up online to do that. What a fantastic way to meet someone with similar interests! For a quick gift, they even have Squishmallows-they're so FLUFFY! I know what you're thinking, you don't consider yourself a gamer, no prob., this quaint store is intriguing. Stop in and check it out for yourself. You may just find something you like in there.

The hubby is more of the table top games enthusiast. We were visiting from California during the holidays. There are rooms with tables and chairs to play games as well as a plethora of table top games for sale. An interesting section in the front had a section of items for sale for bird enthusiasts. There was also a section of cute plushies + various cute items like Pusheen notebooks and other character stationery. Rooms had framed posters or other themed decor like Avengers, Star Wars, Harry Potter and more. One room that was locked and fascinating is an escape room. The hubby and I have visited many table top game stores in Southern California. This one in greater Chicagoland is by far superior and unique to anything we have seen before. Would definitely return!

What a great spot!…read more I'm a huge gamer, and I love tabletop games, so when I had the chance to check this place out with some friends I was super excited. The ambiance is fun - designed with decor to feel like a castle/fantasy place, with tables large enough to accommodate games. The centerpiece is the game vault. Walking into it was really cool, seeing all of the games organized by categories, and getting to chat with their game experts was helpful for learning about new games that would work for our group size. Part of the $7 per person game charge is that it covers having one of the game experts come over and get the group started on their game - reading through rule books is often the most laborious part of setting up and getting going with a new game, so having someone be able to skip that part and get us right into game play was worth it. The menu is a bit lacking. It's basically bar food, and the drinks are centered around alcohol (which I get, large profit margin). If you have some niche dietary requirements you may struggle here, I'd recommend looking over the menu before deciding if you want to plan to eat here. I can say the coffee is tasty, my partner had tea and enjoyed it, but if you're also not a drinker there isn't a whole lot for you, either. The food I did get (pretzel bites and a flatbread) was solid, so no complaints there from me. All in all, I do plan to go back sooner than later - it was great for finding new games!

Warhammer is the pinnacle, but there are plenty of other options as well, like D&D! They also have Magic, The Gathering and other popular card games, though I didn't see Pokemon among the display cases. The gaming side is top of the line, with plenty of tables and terrain for hours of battle. I fancy myself more of a painter than a gamer and I was impressed with the options for paint, brushes, and tools they had available. I didn't buy anything on my first visit, but my son and friends felt welcomed and were treated kindly, even as teenagers (typically, this has been a challenge). I'm looking to paint an army of space marines soon, so I'll be in to grab some washes and metallics. This place is nerd nirvana.
