I attend their weekly Pokemon league and it ranges from new-ish players to seasoned players. It is flexible playing, meaning no tournament, but also no time you need to show up by.

Don't be misled by the small size and humble interior, Gamers Haven is exactly what it says on the…read moretin: a haven. Weekly and Monthly events, friendly staff, a lively community, just some of the many reasons I personally consider Gamer's Haven to be my favorite third space. I've been coming there since 2021, first entered the store during a flesh and blood tournament to pre-order the newest edition of killteam to begin my war gaming journey, and the haven has been there with me every step of the way. I've made new friendships, epic and hilarious stories, and countless of poor financial decisions that I wouldn't take back just because it helped kept the lights on. Do be warned, the previous owner had a "No-Wotc" products policy for reasons too long to explain here, and the newer owners decided to keep it, so if you're looking for D&D or MTG, you won't find it here. Personally, the store doesn't need WOTC anyway. Because of this policy, they've expanded out to different TCGs such as Flesh and Blood, Lorcana, Riftbound, and Uni-Versus. There is also a lively wargaming scene featuring, of course, Warhammer and other GW games, but also Bolt Action, Konflict '47, and Moonstone. There unfortunately isn't much of an RPG scene there at the moment, but private rooms are available to use, and there are groups who regularly meet at the haven for RPG nights. And of course, there is a healthy selection of board games available and a weekly board game meet up in case you need people to play with. Whatever reason you have to escape from reality into the realm of tabletop, the haven has an open spot for you.

We have passed by this store numerous times and never had time to stop in. Today, we saw that it…read morewas still open, and my son and daughter wanted to check it out. Boy, was I glad that we did. I am not a "gamer" and know very little about these things. My son is beginning to play and is interested in looking around. The owner was there, and he was wonderful! So friendly, personable and gave us all kinds of advice, suggestions and gave us the run-down of how the place held game nights. The place was very clean and there was a lot of pride in how he cared for the store. We are already looking at our schedules so that my son can attend a night where they teach you how to play a new game. Thankful that we stopped in and now looking forward to becoming regular customers.

Still loving The Exchange 5 years after my initial review!…read more Why? VIDEO GAMES! This is one place I don't mind looking for previously-owned merchandise. They clean up what they sell and make sure it's in working condition before they put it on their shelves. That's huge. I really hate picking up a used game or system and having to spend hours cleaning it because it's way too disgusting to touch until I do. They also guarantee their previously-owned games. I know this because I stopped in last week to buy their Crash Bandicoot PS1 game. It was $30 (yikes) but the guy explained why and also mentioned the guarantee. When I brought it home to play I noticed it kept freezing in the same spot. It must have been a flaw in the resurfacing process. Either way, they took it back and gave me a full refund, since it was something wrong with the game. They do have a restocking fee if you return something that isn't faulty, just FYI. Having had to return a dirty system (in better condition than when we bought it) to another local place down the street because it was faulty and only being offered store credit--I can tell you I really appreciate the refund. I would definitely come back and buy more used games from The Exchange. Oh, and the staff is really friendly and helpful.

Trip Review - Kidforce Collectibles Kidforce Collectibles Kidforce Collectibles Pinball League…read more It was awesome going into Berea And stopping at Kidforce Collectibles. Unfortunately, I went on Joe, the owner's off day, so I didn't get a chance to say hi to him, but his staff is always warm and friendly. I dig the amount of Star Wars memorabilia he has, along with all the other toys, collectible card games, tabletop games, and of course, the pinball machines. He also has new Comics weekly along with some back issues, stickers, supplies, and some really great statues. They run Magic the Gathering nights and other gaming functions please jump on their Facebook page to see their schedule. If you're looking for collectible card games singles, they also have probably one of the largest supplies in Northeast Ohio. Check out the 55 pictures I shot. Anytime I shoot 55 pictures tells me that there's so much goodness in there that I can't make up my mind which pictures to shoot. We appreciate the support that they've given us over years. We've loved to have folks go and say hi to them. Kidforce is easy to get to, right in downtown Berea .

My wife, best friend and i were traveling through and decided to stop in. Not local but bad such an…read moreabysmal experience I felt the need to warn anyone thinking of coming here. First off, my wife felt completely uncomfortable. The owner (or who i presume to be the owner) who "helped" us was staring her up and down the entire time. She felt sexualized and dirty. Instead of making a scene, we exited the establishment with the same gentleman complaining how we left his door open (when we did not btw). If you are a woman, I would suggest avoiding this place like the plague. Second, my friend asked what kind of deal would be given for buying a box of cards. The owner said he would be paying $8 a pack for the full box, same as buying singles. Most establishments would drop by a much larger amount than this. Third and finally, you can barely walk through the place. I am not a large person, but i was struggling to walk through to even browse. One time i was looking at decks of cards, and i was yelled at to get put from behind the counter. Understandable, except for the fact that the entire counter was loaded with boxes of unsold merchandise. One could not tell that it was a counter at all. Once again, I want to reiterate that this store and its owner gave us a terrible experience. It is establishments like these that give TCG's a bad name. PLEASE stay away from here!
