Our mission is to help family and friends find ways to gather together to socialize, make memories and have fun!
We support all of what we call the four pillars of tabletop gaming. Board games, card games, miniature games and role playing games. We add in the paint and modeling hobby aspect of gaming, which includes things like paints, brushes, glues, and basing materials. Our goal is to keep a full array of options available.
Our sole purpose is to help you have fun!!! We believe tabletop games provide the opportunity to fulfill that purpose and we have an ever-growing array of products and services available. If you cannot find it, or we do not currently seem to do it, please reach out and inquire. We may still be able to help!!
We have added Disc Golf to our product line! Now we can help you find ways to enjoy time with family and friends both inside and out!!
Currently we carry Innova and Prodigy discs, and will be adding more lines in the future. We also have a selection of bags, so you can conveniently carry all the discs you need!!
Event tickets are sold in store. Some event tickets may be sold online but must meet our $10 online minimum purchase requirement. Individual event tickets that are valued less than $10 cannot be bought in multiple quantities to satisfy this requirement.
Any event tickets purchased ahead of an event are non-refundable within 6 hours of event check in (normally 15 minutes prior to event start). A refund request submitted 6+ hours before an event can result in refund to store credit only.
Our event tickets do not hold any value other than providing an opportunity to participate in an event. Any material goods provided at an event are supplied by the Gift of Games and are not included in the event ticket purchase. Only event ticket holders who participate in the event to it's completion, who are present to receive any material goods when they are distributed, and conduct themselves in a manner conducive to the code of conduct for the event will receive those goods. Purchase of an event ticket does not ensure a participant will receive anything other than the experience of participating in the event.
An example would be a pre-release event for a card game. The event ticket does not include the pre-release kit. An event ticket holder who is in attendance is given a pre-release kit to make a deck and participate. Anyone not in attendance would not receive a pre-release kit. A participant may get a varying number of booster packs at the end of the pre-release as a prize. A participant who leaves an event early would not receive any booster packs at the end of the event if they are not present to receive them. We do not hold packs until a future visit. Any participant removed from an event for violation of the code of conduct would not receive any material goods they were no longer in attendance to receive.
We do not charge fees to use our tables but you may need to bring your own games. We have a reservation system for our table space and frequently hold events.
HOLDS will be for pickup that same day only. If you need something held overnight, please instead, hit the Shop Now button at the top of this page and purchase your item. We will bag it and have it ready for pickup the next time you're in!
SPECIAL ORDERS do not require a deposit and can be tracked in our mobile app. Some items may be in between print runs, and delays can happen. Once an order comes in we will give you two weeks to pick it up before it gets restocked. Failure to pick up special orders will result in deposit requirements for future requests. Thank you.
We ship tabletop games through our webstore. Access is available via the Shop Now tab at the top of this page. We ship promptly, provide tracking information and we are just a phone call away. We believe communication is of the utmost importance and we are happy to assist with your needs, to the best of our ability.
Pickup can be arranged to be contactless, but please call ahead for best service, A photo ID, or a copy of your invoice, is needed to complete a pre-paid pickup. Please call or put a note in your order if you have any special requests or any pertinent information you feel relevant.
For same day pickup, please ensure to call ahead after placing your order.
Items purchased in our brick and mortar location can be returned for a refund, or store credit, within 14 days of purchase if unopened and undamaged. We do not provide refunds for disc golf items or unsealed RPG books.
Items purchased on our website can be returned if requested within 14 days of purchase. Return shipping will be at the cost of the purchaser, and we do not refund original shipping cost. Refund will be given upon receipt of undamaged/unopened items. Please contact us prior to purchase if you have any questions or concerns.
We believe in a one throat to choke mentality and prefer to work with distribution and game manufacturers post production. If there are issues or delays with a crowd funded game, you will look to us, we need to look to them, and then we may need to look back blankly at you. All while sitting on your money for....years?? Zero interest loans are amazing, but we prefer a quicker sales cycle.
Should a group of our community get together and wish to back a game, then we can be leveraged to assist. We may on occasion help rally a group to fund a game, however as a normal practice we do not participate in crowd funded games.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
