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!

Dangerous place if you like games, books, or vinyl. I wandered in looking for ONE game and…read moreum...er...left with more than one. The place is packed. And I mean packed. Luckily the employees, a super friendly bunch, knew where to look or whom to ask where to look or knew the answer right away. They are there to help and is reflected in their attitude! I would say it is chaos in there and there doesn't seem to be a method to the madness but it is VERY worth your time to wander EVERYWHERE in the store. There are gems around you didn't even know you were looking for. I will be back!

So I'm told they can search for items on catalogs and every time i ask for the character no one has ever offered me that assist.

Pre-order is nice option but they overcharged for their comics like no other. I have not seen a…read morecomic book store charge so much for a comic that should be four dollars. They are charging upwards of 25 $50 insanely overpriced would not recommend solely based upon that, and also they close at 6:30 when a lot of people get off at five they really don't have the time to make it. They need us keep their hours extended. I showed up to pick my order and they told me that somebody had canceled my order. So I take it back the pre-order feature of this store is not even nice.

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.

There hasn't been a Comic or Games shop in this corner of town for about 20 years. Maybe longer. I…read morewas very excited to see a big new sign for "Comics & Games". My kids were also excited. Met James and Jamie and got to talk with them about their journey to opening this store. It's more than a business... it's them taking a leap and sharing a passion that their family has with others looking for a place to call "their local shop / hangout". Something I loved was that there wasn't just a big pile of unorganized back issues. Instead, there were complete series of back issues bundled together at reasonable prices so you didn't have to hunt and peck to find them all. Also, there are weekly/monthly episodes available for people of all ages and interests. A good collection of trades as well. Also, they make it very easy to order anything you might not see on the shelves. They've also dedicated a nice chunk of the back of the store to a game area where people can come and hang out and have a place to play and meet. Not my thing, but still really cool for people that need that type of local community spot. Above all, I love that I can take my teenager, and my very small children into this shop and not see near-pornographic fantasy art on the walls. It's a safe place for people of all ages and for parents like me that don't want to expose my small children to adult themes until they're old enough to understand what they're seeing. It's really rare to find a place like this. Owners that take the time to talk to every visitor. People not trying to be an "empire" but to still have a personal touch. It's really a cool little shop and I suggest people give it a shot. At first it may not seem like there's a ton in the store, but just talk to one of the owners and you'll find out that there's more than you can handle nicely organized right in front of you. Give this place a shot. Take a risk and try giving them your business. You won't be disappointed. Obviously I wasn't, becasue I HATE writing online reviews but just HAD to for this place. Keep it up J&J! Happy to have you in the neighborhood!

As an avid book collector, I have (hesitantly) visited many shops since the pandemic hit.

While I'm not directly involved in the business itself, I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the heart, dedication, and care she pours into every aspect of it. Beyond the Black Board isn't just a toy store -- it's a cornerstone of the community. It's a place where creativity, learning, and imagination come alive for kids (and honestly, adults too). But like many small, family-owned businesses, it's also feeling the ripple effects of the current global economy -- especially the increasing tariffs and the challenges of supply chains. These issues are real, and they're putting pressure on the very businesses that make our towns unique. If you're in a position to shop small or support local, I wholeheartedly urge you to consider Beyond the Black Board. Whether it's for a birthday gift, classroom supplies, or just something to spark joy, every purchase you make there truly makes a difference -- not just to the business, but to the people behind it who care deeply about what they do. Let's keep our local gems thriving.
