I was trying to sell them some magic the gathering cards the first time was all right a lady help me behind the counter and it was a fair price they offered this last time. There was a man with a ponytail. He talked down to me acted like he knew everything took all my best cars and tried to convince me they were light played when I know for sure they were mint by anybody's standard. The place is a joke and a rip off won't be going back there again. read more

Had an opportunity to visit Netherworld Games and found the store to have a great selection of everything I could possibly be looking for. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. The also had a good list of events they host for mtg and other various games. Will definitely stop in again when I'm in the area read more

I'll be honest: I'm not a gamer or a geek. A nerd, yes, but I am not the typical consumer for a shop like Netherworld. That said, on both of my visits to Netherworld I've been treated first as an outsider and later as though I didn't even exist. I don't think I'll be making a third visit. Both times I stopped in were with friends who are interested in their goods; once in college and then more recently as an adult. In college I got the "why are you here?" attitude, but since I didn't particularly want to be there I didn't really give it much thought. On my last trip, though, I was more interested but completely ignored. The person working the counter didn't greet us, ask if we had any questions, or offer to help us with anything. It's a small shop and there was just a small game happening at one of the tables; it's not like we snuck in unnoticed. Even though I don't know a lot about the items in the shop, there are many more places in town that are interested in helping me learn and making me feel welcome. If you're part of the gaming community already, you may have a better experience. If you're a newbie like me, you might want to consider another stop. read more

If you know me at all, you know that I play a lot of hobby board and card games. I have a bookshelf just full of hours of entertainment. When I found out that Madison has 5 hobby board game stores in town, I was pretty impressed and excited to check them out. I wandered into Netherworld Games to poke around a bit one Saturday after the farmer's market on the Square. The first thing I noticed is that it is very small and has a sort of "your mother's basement" feel to it. The entire space smelled of body odor. In that tiny space there are about four folding tables that had multiple games of Magic the Gathering being played. There wasn't much board gaming going on when I visited, but I didn't really expect it on a Saturday afternoon. The walls are absolutely covered with products, and I couldn't seem to figure out a way in which it was organized. Behind the counter there is a large stock of Magic the Gathering products from the 1990s to present. If you are looking for something older I'm sure you could find it here. Of course, there is also a fridge full of energy drinks in the corner because yay for nerd stereotypes. Any game that is new or popular on the shelf is being sold at the flat MRSP. You aren't going to find any deals on games everyone wants to own here. I'm looking at you, Ticket to Ride, Catan, and others. If you're looking for a deal on these types of products, you're better off just getting it off Amazon. The one interesting feature that I loved about the store is their bargain deals. The entire bottom shelf around the store is filled with games that have garage sale style stickers on them ranging from $1 to $20. These games are "bargain games." We managed to pick up a steal for $2 while we were visiting. So here's my tl;dr for the lazy ones. + Good selection of Magic the Gathering Products + Awesome bargain "bin" for random junk you didn't know you need - Overpriced board games - Very cramped and has very little play space - Kind of smells like the high school boy's locker room read more

Small place but has a nice geeky feel to it. They had some hard-to-find board games and a very nice selection of Magic cards. I did not like that they do not do refunds. I bought pack of Netrunner cards and when I tried to return them (unopened & sealed), they wouldn't refund my money. I did an exchange for the game Pandemic (which I wanted anyways) but it would have been nice to know their policy prior to buying anything. read more

If you go in expecting to find the latest and greatest in the gaming world, a friendly staff, and inviting atmosphere, you're going to be sorely disappointed. The store is dominated by a bunch of folding tables that look like they were picked up for cheap at the local office supply store, the staff (if you could call them that) could barely be bothered to look up from their endless sorting of Magic cards to notice that I was trying to get their attention, and their game selection was what you would expect if a bunch of lazy people opened a store and bought the bare minimum replacement stock so they could call themselves a 'game store' with a straight face. Save yourself the trip and take your time and money elsewhere. read more

While the selection was quite limited, I felt that they sold many of the bigger, more well known, games. The prices were reasonable, and the staff were quite willing to help me find the best products for my purchase. read more

My interactions with this store have been horrible. Twice now, the store's eBay operator has failed to complete an order with me. Most recently I bought 6 Runed Halo's for my son's and my decks. The next day they were marked as shipped, and then a week later I get a refund saying they were out of stock. I called and one of the managers at the store promised to get back to me, which he never did. Their customer service to me was poor and unprofessional. Please stop deleting honest feedback. read more

Awesome game store. Has every single magic card and an incredible selection of board games. Staff is helpful and willing to order cards or board games that they don't have. One of the best game stores for magic in the area. If you need help with deck building the staff will take apart your deck and work with you to make it how you like. Would recommend! read more
