First the pictures are way out of date. It's a shame whatever happened to this place. Apparently…read moreit's being sold (closing January 31, 2024) and searching for this store online shows a new name of Desert Games at the same address. When this store first opened, and for a couple years after, it had a great selection of board games. Almost two short aisles worth. There used to be a lot of titles to look at. They even had Kickstarters if I remember correctly, Just went in there the other day looking to buy, and walked out in less than three minutes. They have practically NO BOARD GAMES ANY MORE. They had a skinny, double-sided book case display with games, probably about 15 titles (and all small games at that) . Yep, that's it! The place has miniatures for skirmish like games coming out their ears if you're into that. I don't know what happened. Clearly their customers are not board gamers. If you're looking for board games then try the Walmart across the street. I guarantee they will have a superior selection. Better yet go to the Gaming Goat up in north Mesa or Athoria Games in Tempe.

Amazing Discoveries was an awesome place to celebrate my son's birthday! We stopped in to pick up a…read morefew packs, and the staff made the experience even more memorable by generously giving him an extra pack as a birthday surprise. That simple gesture meant a lot and made his day even more special. The store itself was very clean, well-organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there were plenty of tables and seating areas where people could sit down, play games, trade, or open their new cards. Their selection is incredible. Whether you're looking for trading card game products, comic books, accessories, collectibles, or just about any other hobby-related item, they have an impressive variety to choose from. It's the kind of store where you can spend a long time browsing because there's always something new to discover. Another thing I appreciated was their pricing. I compared prices with another card shop nearby, and Amazing Discoveries was noticeably more competitive. From booster packs and sealed boxes to even many of the single cards, their prices were generally better, making it an easy choice for where I'd rather spend my money. Overall, Amazing Discoveries delivered everything you'd want in a local game store: a huge selection, fair prices, a clean and welcoming environment, and staff who genuinely care about their customers. The birthday surprise for my son was the icing on the cake, and it's a memory he won't forget. We'll definitely be back!

There is no reason that a collector has to ask 4+ times to look through the card binders. I collect…read moreYuka Morii cards and asked if any were in the binders. I was told that one binder has damaged cards and the other binder has mostly modern, which somehow means that these cards likely wouldn't be in these. I hear this multiple times at trade shows where vendors directly tell me they do not have cards I'm looking for, and then I point multiple out directly in their case. After pressing a fourth time I'm handed the damaged binder and I find a Yuka Morii card I needed for my collection. I understand this is a combo tabletop and trading card store, but why have so many barriers between the collector and the cards that they are looking for in which 95% of them exist far behind the counters in storage? The only way to find out if they have your cards is by going through an extremely rudimentary search system in the back of the store on machines that feel like they are from the early 2000's where you have to spell the Pokemon's name absolutely perfectly with no way to search by artist. It's disappointing that customers ready to spend money have to interact with card shop workers who make it seem like a grand inconvenience to show cards. After visiting and experiencing 12+ other shops in the valley, my experience with this shop irked me more and more to the point of writing this review. If you go a couple doors down to The Trading Card Club or to Baxter's in Queen Creek, the barrier between the collector and their cards is a pane of glass. On top of that, you feel the passion from the workers. This is the ideal setup. Anything that is more than a pane of glass, such as a bad search system or a worker getting a card from storage for you, lowers the likelihood of that customer coming back and feeling like they'll discover something they are looking for.

I would give these folks my money before ever going to a big box store for games. Prices can be seen online and they are competitive with Amazon and other big stores, so why not support local?

Make sure to set aside some time to walk around so you can see everything! Some of the pricing on the games are better here than other stores, although I still cross checked because some of the games we bought ended up being cheaper elsewhere however it's nice to support something that can bring friends and family together! The owner is super nice and knowledgeable about the games, gives great recommendations, and as small as it is waived the fees to a water bottle (they sell a few drinks here) that I was going to buy on a 112 degree day that we came in on. Would highly recommend shopping here as there's options for beginners as well as gamers!

By far the most overpriced card shop (for Pokemon at least) I have seen yet in the valley…read more Every time I go, their selection is exponentially higher priced than their competitors. Went today to try and give it an another shot since my buddy told me they have revamped it a bit, thought I would see what it's all about. Found a card I was a fan of for $18 and said "damaged". I checked it out, card was in great shape so I decided to purchase it. When looking around a bit more, the guy there came up to me and told me that the card was listed significantly underpriced and told me market was around $45 for the card. I told him since they marked it as $18, I was going to pay $18 for it and feel like they should charge that because that's what their price was, he stated that it's "up to me" what I will pay and I followed it up with since it's marked $18, I'm going to pay $18. He asked me if thats the absolute lowest I would pay, and I obviously said yes since that's what is on the sticker they put on the card. He told me he couldn't sell it for that price, and I decided not to buy the card and left - thus living into the same reason I decided to give up on this place and how they are still significantly higher priced that all the other shops in the valley. Don't waste your time or money here, literally eBay is the better option. Make the trip to Grail Collectibles or The Trading Card Place, worth the trip for sure. Even go next door to Monster, way better place to spend your money.
