I was on a business trip to Columbus and wanted to check out the Local Magic scene. I called this place to see if they took trades, which they do, and the gentleman on the phone was courteous. This place is a bit hard to find, so just know that it is in the Convention Center. The card selection is the largest for sealed product that I've seen in awhile, and even though they didn't take any of my trade-ins I happily plopped down some money! They had an amazing bargain on some precons so I bought two and a Sonic Secret Lair. Great value and huge selection for a small shop. You definitely get more than you would anywhere else in town. Your money is appreciated here and will give you a sense of value. read more

Heroes and Games - Great old packs! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

See all

Great place with such an awesome staff that really makes everyone feel welcome, I can't stress that enough ! Solid selection and pricing !

For awhile they were the only place I would go for YuGiOh cards, they were very quick to get the new sets and singles. Now I wouldn't recommend them, they overcharge on a fair bit (I got into an argument with someone there during Ohayocon over a damaged Blue-Eyes White Dragon card they wanted 50 bucks for, at most on TCGPlayer it was like...10 in that condition) I would recommend shopping online or making the trip to Massilon to Sweets n Geeks, at least they price with the market read more

employee was rude and condescending, which is wild for a nerd store like this one. trading is by the book, no negotiations. might as well sit on it until it sells on EBay. will not be going back. read more

Trust me, you may not find a better game store in Columbus. Heroes and Games is the perfect mix of a classic tabletop game store and a modern one. The selection of products is very wide, from digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh to Pokemon and magic the gathering, they have it all, and the prices here cannot be beat Booster boxes, singles, packs, sealed products, etc. are all priced lower than you can find them anywhere else. Located in the rear of the store there is a large comic selection as well, I do not know much about comics, so I do not have much input, but the selection is vast. The staff here are the nicest of any tabletop game store I have visited, excellent service, it made me feel very welcome and comfortable. If I could give it extra stars, I would. read more

Great staff and nice people. I got back into TCGs and immediately found this place. I felt apart of the community right away.

Heroes and Games has a little bit of everything for comic book fans, trading card game players, and every other kind of nerdy out there. I mainly go there for the trading card selection which is the best that I've seen, with the three main games, Pokemon, Yugioh and Magic the Gathering, being largely represented and they even have some more obscure games represented. Common singles are well priced and depending on the game you can usually get 4 or 5 for a dollar and the rare singles are usually near the lower end of market price. Trade-in prices are fair if you keep in mind that at the end of the day they need to profit off of the card. Deck accesories, (card sleeves, deck boxes ect.) is nice and varied with mini and standard sleeves available. As for the other products they have a good comic book and old video game selection. Their selection of Japanese snacks is only really beaten by ethnic grocery stores. They also have a small selection of board games and manga as well. The staff is helpful and very friendly and the other patrons that I've encountered were quite nice too. The only two drawback is that Heroes and Games is in the Convention Center so you may not be able to find a parking spot if there is a decently sized conference or convention in town, and they don't sell starter decks so if you want to start playing a card game bring a friend. I always look forward to visiting Heroes and Games and will continue going there for a long time to come. read more
