The hubby is more of the table top games enthusiast. We were visiting from California during the holidays. There are rooms with tables and chairs to play games as well as a plethora of table top games for sale. An interesting section in the front had a section of items for sale for bird enthusiasts. There was also a section of cute plushies + various cute items like Pusheen notebooks and other character stationery. Rooms had framed posters or other themed decor like Avengers, Star Wars, Harry Potter and more. One room that was locked and fascinating is an escape room. The hubby and I have visited many table top game stores in Southern California. This one in greater Chicagoland is by far superior and unique to anything we have seen before. Would definitely return!

Don't be fooled by the store name. The Wandering Dragon Game Shoppe has much more than just games…read more It's tucked neatly into the heart of downtown Plainfield. Plenty of parking nearby ( a whole parking lot to the North of the store ). I walked in and immediately greeted by a pleasant employee, Sam. I was surprised at how much this shoppe has! They have paint, for those crafting or school projects with your kiddos, they have UNO card game, and puzzles galore! If you're looking for a game and then don't have it, they can special order it for you. Rooms with large tables to play games with others-sign up online to do that. What a fantastic way to meet someone with similar interests! For a quick gift, they even have Squishmallows-they're so FLUFFY! I know what you're thinking, you don't consider yourself a gamer, no prob., this quaint store is intriguing. Stop in and check it out for yourself. You may just find something you like in there.

We took a day trip to Chicago for my girlfriend's birthday to check out some Pokémon shops, and…read morethis ended up being one of our favorites so far. It's easily one of the best spots we've found for both Pokémon and One Piece cards. Aleah and Haley were super friendly and welcoming, and Ari was incredibly helpful when I had questions. The pricing is pretty much in line with most card shops for both sealed products and singles, but what really stood out was the overall experience. They have a ton of variety to choose from, and the atmosphere made it a great visit. On top of that, the staff even gave us some free merch for my girlfriend's birthday, which was such an awesome and thoughtful touch. We'll definitely be coming back soon! EDIT: We stopped by CardPop again before heading up to Chicago, and even though it was a different staff this time, we had the same great experience. The customer service was outstanding once again. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and communicated exceptionally well. We had the pleasure of meeting James and Bryce, and both were incredibly helpful and easy to talk to. It's clear that the team takes pride in providing a great experience for their customers. Keep up the fantastic work! We truly appreciate how well you always take care of us whenever we visit. Looking forward to stopping by again soon.

Absolutely awful experience. First, let me say that the employees that work at this location are…read morekind, let me end with saying the OWNER is NOT! She's rude, ignorant and the last thing she should own is a toy store?! The way she speaks with the children is very matter of fact and disrespectful. My nephew is autistic and while playing with a toy that was purposely put on display for the kids to play with she scolded him for playing with it too long???? Mind you, there were NO other children in the store, just a couple of adults browsing. Not sure if she thought he would break it but it was just odd. Afterwards, she followed us closely as if we were gonna touch something else in a toy store? We spent about 25 mins in the store looking and my nephew found a toy he was interested in. I looked it up on Amazon and seen it was 40 dollars cheaper. I said to him if you can wait a day for a special treat, I'll order you two! The owner overheard me as she was still on our heels and said to another worker at the counter close by us, "oh so she used our store to look around and play, and gets from Amazon instead". To sum up the store, overpriced toys, with the worst customer service ever!

Fantastic shop! Incredibly attentive! I went here to buy a gift for a friend who is into tea and…read moreknitting. This is a heaven for both! I did not know where to start tea wise. However, the proprietor was kind enough to lower boxes of tea to give me a delicious whiff of popular ones. She even opened a new bag of loose leaf tea! I ended up getting bags of Darjeeling and Cinnamon tea! As for the yarn, I knew that my friend knitted scarves, so the proprietor pointed out suitable ones. So many colors! When I told her it was a gift, she went to work wrapping each item in tissue paper and placed them in a brown paper gift bag. Flourished with colorful ribbons! I thought the price was wonderful! $17 dollars for delicious tea, gorgeous yarn, and beautiful wrapping? A STEAL! Will definitely shop here again!
