They have all the fixings to start you on a d&d adventure including dice, books and figurines. They have cards upon cards for magic the gathering along with the binders, card covers and card boxs. Love comics? They have those too! Best part? You can order things from their site to get sent to your home or the store and it even has a wishlist feature so they can let you know when they get something in stock! My husband was giddy- "Ace, look! I can shop from my computer!" So, if you have a nerdy significant other, stop into the store or check out their online shop to give your love an amazing gift, maybe a Valentine's gift. Hopefully you'll love it as much as my husband and I did.

Kevin opened in September of 2020, and this store has a lot to offer the community. There is a game for every type of gamer. You can find a beloved classic or a new challenge. Also, you get to spin a wheel at checkout, so there's always exciting incentive. If you plan on coming back, which you should, there's a loyalty program that gets you $10 for free very $100. Support Plainwell and swing by!

A real bummer. Long story short, initial experience was great. Great looking product, impressive…read morepresentation, my wife and I left looking forward to a quote (via phone) for a couple stone options. After a month and no follow up, we stopped back in. We were not in a rush but excited to get a ring ordered. The sales lady that we had previously worked with seemed happy to see us but had obviously lost our quote, name number and all, and was flustered and soon mad about the situation. In trying to remember - without letting on that she had forgotten about us- she came up with something very different than what we had talked about. Neither my wife nor I took her irritated manner personally but were a bit flabbergasted when she rolled her eyes at us and disappeared into the back room to complain about us to her manager. And she was loud. And offensive. My wife walked out by this point but I stayed to try to resolve the situation. After a few minutes, Doug (who I believe is the owner and seemed like a nice enough guy) came out and gave me an overpriced quote to apparently run me out of his store. Now I realize that customer service isn't what it used to be but this was a failure on so many levels - and such a different experience than we had been hoping for. I now hear their ads on the radio and can only say this: an ad may bring in a customer but bad service and the word of mouth that results from it can be devastating to a business. Might I be so bold as to suggest a drastic change in attitude - and employees for that matter.

They have some beautiful glass art from locals Avolio Glassworks, as well as a really cool cross-section of items that would interest those who love jewelry and gemstones. They've got lots of very affordable gift items under $200, but also masterworks by their own and other jewelers. They have a solid collection of antique jewelry, plus lots of really modern looks. And there's something different every time I pop in (which is pretty much every time I dine at neighboring Fieldstone Grill, which is one of my favorite spots in Portage). Superior customer service as well. La!

So the family had to run my mother out to the dentist a while ago, and as we walking in, I spotted…read morethis familiar sign right next door- it was a pleasant surprise, and a welcome one! I'd visited their former location out by Western Michigan University for packs of Magic: the Gathering and cheap graphic novels multiple times, and I took the chance to wander on in and take a look around. It's better than their former store, I can say that much. Granted, they've pared down their inventory, choosing to focus on a certain few markets- the store's main focus is Magic: the Gathering, but they also sell board games, Force of Will, Star Wars: Destiny, Malifaux, and the X-Wing Miniatures games, along with snacks and drinks. If you're looking for any other game, you might have better luck heading over to Fanfare. They don't sell anything else other than those games and card game accessories (deck boxes, sleeves, binder pages, play mats, etc.) If you like playing Magic, this is the store for you- they have organized Magic events five or six days a week, in different formats, so you should be able to find an event to your liking and skill level! You can also get some snacks and drinks here, but if you're looking for a bigger feed, there are a number of restaurants in the same shopping center (including a Blaze Pizza on the corner), so you can fill up and be able to get right back to gaming. The best part of this store is the immense open gaming space. You won't be crowded for space here, so you can game and trade and spread out as much as you need, and if you feel like trying out some of the tabletop games, ask if there's a store copy you and your friends can try (but please treat them with respect, yeah?) so you could find out if it's everything you thought it would be. There's actually nothing I can think of that I'd change about this place- it's that great! Stop in and look around, you won't be disappointed!

I like to play board games. Really liked the game place in Plainwell, but it closed…read more I've visited Odyssey twice in the past three years and didn't feel very welcome during my visits. The first time, I was the only woman there, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. The atmosphere didn't seem very inviting, and I left feeling like I didn't fit in. Recently, I decided to give Odyssey another chance to see if there might have been changes. However, I found the environment still felt exclusive, with a strong "man-cave" vibe. I understand this might appeal to some; it doesn't seem to foster a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. A more inclusive environment could attract a wider range of board game enthusiasts. There are ways to make everyone feel more welcome, regardless of gender. I DO appreciate their efforts in promoting board gaming! Anything to get people off their screens deserves consideration.

Always on the hunt for new game places, my husband and I found Discount Hobby. I was a little…read morenervous because they have a review stating they aren't LGBTQIA+ friendly but I decided to give them a chance and found that not to be the case. The owner was super friendly and talked to me about my Bob's Burgers wallet. I took the risk and asked how he felt about Marshmellow and her friends, who rep the community in the show, and he told me how he loved the Christmas episode that highlighted the community. Maybe he played me to get on my good side, but he seemed genuine. Discount Hobby mostly has comics but they also had d&d figures, mtg cards and some dice. They don't have room for tabletop tournaments but they had some cheap 1 color dice that I was looking for that the other place we went to didn't have. I was looking for dice for my hufflepuff d&d character I'm building so we can to a rpg of Harry Potter. I was able to get a set of 7 yellow dice with black pips for only $4.08 ($3.85+tax). They will look great in my Hufflepuff dice bag. Next time I'm in the area I would consider coming here because the owner seems cool and the dice were cheap. While I do like Perfect Storm, and will probably go there for tournaments, Discount Hobby is a great place to check to see if they have certain items cheaper. It was worth the stop while in the Battle Creek area and plan on coming back.

I only interacted with one very nice Lady at the counter, I'm bad with names, will update if I get her name as this is now my #1 gaming go to store, but I will never forget her as she was very polite, professional & relaxed, the atmosphere of the store is a mixture of peace & excitement cause you never know what you'll find, it's like a hunting in a treasure chest, I guarantee you'll walk out with a huge wishlist of reasons to return, it's a busy store, but I was there between 10:30-11am on a Saturday it wasn't crowded, which was nice as I'm not a people person per say... Bottom line you'll only find something hateful to say about this business or employee's if you're a selfish, hateful person to begin with... Smiles light the world around you... ShalomShalom

Disc Traders captures that nostalgic feeling that GameStop used to have like 15 years ago. First off, it smelled AMAZING (weird right?). Secondly, there were ample rows filled of movies, games, and action figures from every genere and console you can think of. Literally, 8 year old me was jealous of what I was looking at. I quite literally had to pace myself and NOT buy everything. I definitely will be a regular here. I wished that they had a GBA or a PS2 so I could buy some of the games, but it's cool; it'll buff. This is quite literally an awesome place to spend a good hour or so at. Cheap prices and a wide array of items. Keep this place in business!

I guess I should give them another try, but I don't go to Kalamazoo that often.
