Best game shop there is by far. Most things are at a great price, they have a fantastic rewards program, and there is an awesome place to game. Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They do not price gouge in demand items which is a massive plus. Feline friends take it over the top!

We drove a little over an hour to get here. It's totally worth it. The staff are super cool (even to inquisitive little ones) and the selection is outstanding. One of my favorite places in Columbus!

An amazing store with amazing service. Had to return my first purchase and they let me do an exchange no questions asked. Awesome selection and there’s something there for all types of tabletop gamers, new and veteran. This is my new favorite shop.

The store is a decent place to shop for hobby items. The employees are helpful and customer service is great. The inventory is cramped and walkways are tight. The location is in a rough patch of neighborhood in a rundown little plaza. The bathrooms need a thorough cleaning. The owners have cats that have free reign of the store. Between the dust and pet dander, allergies are irritated. There is a good pizza place next door. The plaza has plenty of parking.

Questions & Answers

I know this place plays Magic the Gathering, Can you also play against other people with Yugioh the trading card game and Dragon Ball Super as well for fun? Including Pokemon? And do they also sell the cards for these games? And can you play DND?

Yes, there is room in the back that's open to the public and as long as you find somebody else who plays any card game imaginable, then you can play.

When a price is posted on a game in the store, there is a retail price and a Guardtower price. What's the difference? Do we always pay the Guardtower price?

Justin Newsome | May 23, 2021
Brad Angel | May 24, 2021

The Guardtower price is what you pay. It's generally cheaper than retail.
