Awful store that doesn't let you see cards you're interested in purchasing to check conditions. Understandable to be cautious and protect the product, but makes it impossible to sell an item without the buyer being able to look at it. Staff had little to no knowledge on things. Good board game selection though. Probably what the store should stick too. Update: After reading one of the owners response, I'd like to highlight that the staff didn't explain or even ask If wanted to buy the card. I thought this might be the implied intent when I first asked the price and then asked to see the condition. They just told me it was a "expensive card" and "we don't take it out of the case". And then proceded to turn away and continue talking to other staff that were congregated behind the sales case. When voicing the thought "then how is someone suppose to see condition before buying it" one of the staff just replied "sorry" and srugged. So I guess you could say I was confused but I didn't have anything explained to me, so I'd say I was more appalled than anything else. Yeah it might be a busy weekend, but I hardly see that as an issue when the most the staff at the time was 'busy' with each other and not other costumers. Appreciate the response to wash my review away as a 'silly confused customer'. You should be more accountable for your employees actions and take steps to better your customer interaction. That kind of change can best be reflected in leadership, so I say start by looking in the mirror.

The first game shop I ever visited. They have games for anyone who likes any kind of board game. Their discord server can help you find groups to play with you. And the workers really know their games. They can talk for hours.

Whenever traveling I like to try and drop into local game stores to see what they have going on and Level One Game Shop did not disappoint. I’m only really interested in Magic the Gathering and from my perspective it was was definitely worth stopping for. Really friendly and helpful staff and oh my god the selection of sealed product was impressive. I also managed to pick up a highly sought after single for a very fair price. The layout of the store was impressive, clean, and very well organized. The only downside was that this store is located in a busy part of town and trying to get here on a Saturday morning with the farmer’s market going on was… challenging. Not the store’s fault at all, but as an out-of-towner I was not prepared to say the least. I’ll definitely be stopping again when I’m back in the area!

An incredible place to just nerd out and play some board games with friends. A vast selection of fantasy sci-fi and pop culture board games that could be anybody's next birthday or Christmas gift. Great staff with a wide knowledge of anything you need to walk out with something to bring to your next drinking get together

My son is asking for "dice" for dnd. Do you carry them?

Stephanie Wallace | Sep 1, 2019
Dustin Dade | Sep 1, 2019

Level One is the perfect place to find the dice you need for D&D. You can find all kinds of dice and the employees will know how to help you get the dice you need. They should even have sets of dice already put together to just grab and go. Or take your son and let him pick out his favorite style. Those he will really treasure for years.
