What a great find! This store has an amazing board game and disc selection. There were so many games I've not seen before in other game stores, including expansions of which I wasn't aware. I saw a small variety of minis and a large offering of paints available too. The staff was super friendly, and very approachable. Cape Fear Games is connected to a board game cafe next door, which was closed when we went mid-day, but there were several tables throughout both businesses on which to play board games. There is also a room toward the back of the store with a sampling of open games (I dunno, maybe 250 games?) that can be used for a test round. It appears there are activities at this location almost every night, I noted from conspicuously posted schedules throughout the store. The ambience of this store is overall super chill and welcoming. I highly recommended gamers and newbies alike to visit, neither will be disappointed!!

Cape Fear Games is one of the best board game shops I've visited. This isn't one of those library-like stores; the store buzzes with energy. Their inventory is massive and arranged by game type/mechanic making it easy to hone in on your new favorite game. Looking for a specific title? They've got it. Not sure what you're looking for? Their friendly and knowledgeable staff will recommend great games based on your interests. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing. It is filled with great games of all levels. From chess and checkers sets to Gloomhaven, D&D, and Kickstarter Exclusives. This place is incredible. Stop by if you have the opportunity!

The online photos did not do this board game store justice for the size selection they have, which is very big. This has been the best board game store I’ve been to, we have been to handfuls of board game shops across NC. I would highly recommend this place for any level of board games you play, children, entry level to high difficulty games. Has Warhammer, card, dice and many other accessories. The back has lots of disc golf supplies and next door you can currently reserve a table to rent and play board games, the cafe part seems to be closed. The staff are abundant and knowledgeable, helpful, asks you great probing questions to get a feel for what board game would work for you or what your looking for if you’d like and gives their opinion on their game play experience. The store is well organized by category/style game, clean and well stocked. Husband was able to find a couple new games for two players, one that is new and upcoming in popularity and fairly easy to play, we found a board game that a friend has been searching for a long time and got a couple games as gifts for our friend’s birthday.

Currently, we have reduced capacity in store, encourage patrons to stand 6 feet apart, and ask all customers to wear masks indoors. For patrons who are unable to wear a mask or shop in person, we have items listed on our website (capefeargamesilm.com) and happily offer to shop for customers over the phone for curbside assistance.

Looking to sell some Warhammer figs. Is this a good game store to consign with?

Cape Fear Games | Sep 1, 2019

We do not typically do consignment. Your best bet would likely be eBay but I'm happy to take a look at what you have if you want to e-mail some pictures and details.

Do you do mail orders? If so, do you have an online catalog. I'm specifically looking for Spellcrow miniature Orc Conversions.

If we sell our board game could we get cash?

Cohen Cortes | Sep 1, 2018
Jennifer D | Sep 1, 2018

They will do a trade for store credit. I think it depends on the games. There is a Facebook group you can be added to. You can post there and see if someone is willing to purchase your games. It's like a organized deal so you aren't getting ripped off by a stranger.
