I'm not a board game aficionado, but the selection and size of the store really impressed me. There were also board game events going on in the basement that seemed popular, so definitely look out for that if your searching for gaming community

Pandemonium has the best sci fi, fantasy, and RPG book selection in town, including a large selection of used books, many long out of print. Their newly expanded basement retail space allows them to carry lots of cool third party stuff as well. They do cards and miniatures too. A regular rotation of clubs, tournaments, book clubs, and more supports a thriving geek community here.

This is a great local spot for games and collectibles! The staff was friendly and it was really fun to peruse the shop. Lots of good options across trading cards and board games.

Loved this spot! It's tucked around a corner and easy to walk by, but it's worth stepping off the main path. They have lots of variety for games and books and tons in the basement, so don't be fooled by it's smaller upstairs space.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
