such a welcoming and awesome space! When I first walked through the door I was greeted and asked if…read moreI need anything. I looked through the board games section and could see all the popular board games were available. including a hard find character pack for marvel champions. In addition to the board games there's more miniatures and paints to choose from. The back half of the store is dedicated to playing the games, whether it's magic, lorcana, warhammer, board games, dnd, all games are welcome. There's dedicated nights for different games and events so check out the calandar. The store looks great, is clean with snacks and beverages available to buy. If you're looking for something, let them know. Great place to stop in, play a few games and support a local business.

I'm not much of a board game person by default, but I love checking out these stores because they…read moreusually have merch too. I had lunch nearby and have been hearing about this place for a few months. I kept telling myself I wanted to drop by, and this was my opportunity! They've been around for just a few years. I was greeted warmly as soon as I walked in. And I just started browsing the colorful shelves of board and card games. Near the register, big plushies (Kirby too) were on display. My cousin would've liked one, but maybe next time. I appreciated that the games were all in alphabetical order. A card game called Aquarius immediately caught my eye, and some random holiday mini puzzles that are perfect stocking stuffers. Never too early to shop! Past the shelves, I noticed a bunch of tables designed for playing board games, and I saw some shelves nearby loaded with games anyone who comes in can freely play (when the tables are open, of course). They were offering a LOT... more than I've seen anywhere else I think. I ended up chatting with Boyd about how cool the store is, and while I ended up asking what board games might be fit for the more casual game nights -- i.e. shorter ones that aren't too complex. He had tons of recommendations. Including the one I preordered and picked up a few days later, I added 4 new board games to my library, like Wavelength, Kites, and We're Doomed! So far I've only played Aquarius (which I LOVE), but I am super excited about opening the rest when the time comes. They have trading card game (TCG) and board game nights... they'll give you a calendar to stay up to date! I have already recommended this place to a bunch of friends I know enjoy stuff like this. Hope they continue to do well!

Came to visit after hearing from a friend how nice this new location was, never got a chance to…read morevisit the old location but was pleasantly surprised by this one. Walking in at 1 PM on a Thursday and there were a few customers enjoying the gaming area up front. Enjoyed browsing the collection of figures, magazines, comics and massive collection of games. The arcade machines are a nice touch and there is plenty to keep you entertained. Early 2000's rock was playing on their sound system and the staff all seemed to be very willing to help as I was able to easily leave a request for a callback if a specific NECA figure came into stock. The arcade machines included Arcade1UP machines alongside a Pandora Box DX multi arcade cabinet setup inside of a Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo machine which seemed to have working controls from my play testing. Marley Station is a pretty low traffic mall but I could easily see dropping by when I am in the area even thought I don't have much need to buy video games these days. Prices seemed pretty fair for this kind of store and in general felt like a main attraction for the entire mall.

I came in looking for retro game consoles and accessories, and left disappointed on just about…read moreevery front. The selection is minimal and wildly overpriced, and what's actually on the floor is dominated by open-box figures and toys rather than games. The handhelds are kept in a case at the counter, which would be fine if the case weren't in such rough shape -- one console was falling off its shelf and wedged against the side of the display, which isn't a great sign for how the stock is handled. The state of the store overall was honestly alarming to me. The employee I spoke with didn't help either. I asked a few simple questions about what they carry and how often they get it in, and every response was technically an answer without being remotely useful. I left knowing no more than when I came in. I'd much rather give my money to a local shop than to eBay, and I went in wanting to like this place. But a first impression like this one makes it hard to see myself coming back.

I go to C2A multiple times a week, for both comics and to play MTG. They have a great selection of…read morecomics, and are happy to order anything they don't have in store. You can maintain a pull list and box with them to save time every week and to make sure you get the issues you want. For MTG, they have a large selection of sealed product and accessories. Accessories are all discounted if you play at their events. Their weekly FNM and Sunday draft/standard/pioneer events have a great vibe. You get knowledgeable players, and they are super accessible to new players. The space is a little tight, but they make it work, and the prize payout is very fair with most players leaving with at least a pack. Prerelease events are usually the cheapest around and are held at HomeSlyce in the same shopping center. Definitely check them out!

They have…read moreeverything from books on "how to", to origami, calligraphy, lithography, clay, pencils, architect supply, inks in every color, papers (hand made paper)... and some fun toys.. they have some wonderful things, and from what I can tell they will order anything you need such as special mats for framing.

Place has soul, peacefulness and a sense of community. It's got a nice feel. Owner Steuart was very friendly, took his time to explain stuff I have no idea buying and helped me greatly. I am grateful. The place was full and the crowd was happy, mature and peaceful folks engaged in their gaming. If I was into gaming, this is a nice place to be. It's not commercial money place like many others I have seen.

I was passing through on the way back to northern Virginia from Baltimore, and figured I would stop…read moreby and check out the place. I was exhausted and generally not having a great time, but that immediately changed after walking in. I had a lovely chat with the staff present, got to see (and buy) some really interesting and gorgeous dice made by local artists, and fair prices across the board. The general stock was priced reasonably (especially compared to the shops near me around DC), and all the handmade and custom pieces were priced individually, considering the work that clearly went into them and properly supporting the local artists they work with. It was such a clearly supportive, pleasant, and fun environment that I am planning on driving the hour-long trip back soon, for the sole purpose of going here (and maybe even join in one of the one-shots they run.)

After being upset I went to the post office to send the wrong cards back. The envelope that came to…read moreme to have those cards sent back was stamped and with the return address. The post office wouldn't take it. I had to call the store and tell them they would have to sent a box. The post office here did this to me once before with sending a card that was pop up style and they told me it was too thick to be in an envelope. I had to spend $12 to $13 to send it out. It was more expensive than the card in it. After contacting the stole while I was at the post office we came to an agreement and they let me keep the cards. We are good and I will make sure to continue to shop here. Thank you guys for making this right.

The associate helping me and my son was so patient and attentive even during a busy weekend. We traded a few cards for store credit and the gentleman appraising the cards was also very helpful.
