Everything games is an outstanding and amazing store. The owners are kind courteous and well versed in everything they sell at their shop. The shop has always been clean and extremely well kept and it is no hassle at all to find what you’re looking for. I recommend this shop to anyone and everyone when they ask me where the best place to go is. Keep doing an amazing job everything games!

I recently moved to the area and started looking around to see which tabletop/game shop would be my home store. The biggest value to me as a customer is what the store does for the game community, how it treats its customers, and ultimately is doing more than just positioning themselves in the middle of my transaction.Unfortunately, that is all that they do. Ive been here 4+ times in the last few months, and I cant help but feel like I am a dollar sign to them. Their games are overpriced, their approach to selling card singles is haphazard and sketchy at best, and the owner wont do much more than tell me to check online or press the credit card charge button on his register.Speaking of prices, they are all over the place. They charge too much for singles in most cases, and pay less than what cards are worth when buying them. If you call into the shop, good luck getting anyone to dig for any information that isnt directly in front of them. They also like to suggest a certain expectation for your trade in cards over the phone, only to pull one over on you when you get into the shop. Not to mention so many others are concerned that they reseal their products. I just always feel taken advantage of in the shop, and cant spend my money with confidence here.If I am going to commit my time and money to a tabletop/card game shop, I want to do it with a store that cares about the hobby as much as they do their profit. In such a challenging retail world nowadays, they arent making it difficult for someone to open a shop nearby and run them out of business one day...and not because they dont have a good stock of items, but because it wont take much more of an effort to show you care about the hobby and running a fair business as compared to Everything Games.

Absolutely love this shop! Both of the owners are fantastic! I come here for all of my hobby and gaming needs! Not only do they have a huge Warhammer selection but they have a great Video games section as well! I will definitely be continuing to shop here! By far my favorite game store!

I’m not really sure what the store owners issue is. If you talk to him he’ll make you feel like you’re wasting his time or what you’re saying is stupid and irrelevant. It doesn’t seem like he likes his job at all… This is definitely a go in and get what you need then leave store

Just left and still excited. Will definitely be coming back in the near future. Great selection, mixed prices. I found a few insane deals, while everything else is priced reasonably.

This places is a regular game place. If you ever find yourself there be careful, keep your eyes open the owner and his son are ripp offs and thiefs. They stole card behind my back and under priced my stuff. I came in to sell a few cards, from a tecate ago and they took advantage off me I feel sorry for every kid that goes in there and became a victim of their froudilant practice in sales. When I confronted them they had a excuse that it was part off the deal but I wasnt aware of it and never even give them the cards they took them when I wasnt looking. Cards that I just opened from new paks. Frauds and thieves.

I went to sell a bunch of magic cards I literally sold my cards I accepted it and then as soon as my friend sells his the employee forgot to explain the bulk detail to me, until after I got the cash really, and they completely ripped me off I sold a bunch of cards and probably ripped me off $90 of card value and he didn’t even tell me till after my friend tried to sell his cards, he said all bulk is over 6 dollars and most of the card values were nixed my friend almost only got $63 dollars worth of cash for $513 dollars worth of cards we bought I would thinking he would get at-least $200 but $67 dollars for over 100+ cards that’s just a straight rip off and we tried to sell fetchlands and multiple over valuable cards I’m very disappointed and very dissatisfied with this place, and thought it was cool that they had video games like the retro games but other than that I’m very Disappointed and probably will not come back

I came from elgin hoping to find Yu-Gi-Oh cards .. they did have them but only few starter packs and several single cards for sale that range from 50$ to 300$ so if you looking for single cards I suggest try going to Bartlett forever antiques and collectibles. they have a far better selection and cheaper prices . Otherwise this place seemed like a Chimera if anyone has been to that store before.

The owner isnt rude, but very straightforward and doesnt seem interested in EVERYTHING games, only magic. Wants you out the door quick even if you wanted to purchase multiple things. I wanted this to be a good experience both times i visited but was left wanting more each time.

Absolutely terrible experience. This is the worst shop (and store owner) I have dealt with in a long, long time. I hope nobody else has to experience how rude the person running this store is. Spend your money at a business that actually cares about their customers.

Some prices were more than fair, others were a little higher than other places. Probably not the best place to trade in your cards if youre looking for highest possible return. The owner (Im assuming he was) was friendly and they offered booster boxes i could only find online, was really impressed to see them in store, even if the asking price was higher.

I havent lived in Ill since 2013, but these guys still remembered me when I contacted them online to order stuff. Since then, Ive bought from them many times and theyve shipped it to Atlanta at a fair shipping price. They have good prices and terrific Employees and Customer Service, Definately would recommend to go in and see for yourself

Been there twice. Rude and uninterested to sell. Asked for yugioh singles said the ones in the glass was all they had. I mentioned about cards I saw on their website and suddenly they had more cards. When asked if I could see the rest to see if I could buy some more, because the website is not the greatest, he said no and put them away. Sucks because I love buying yugioh cards.

Sold me a overpriced repackaged and resealed game and told me they couldnt take my return or even exchange it for something else because it was opened, even though it was clearly resealed because when I took the wrap off the box it already had scuf marks on it, and the all the pieces were poorly thrown into one bag all together.

Review №29

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! One of the worst experiences I have ever had in any business. They tell you a certain price/quantity on the phone and charge you triple when you get to the store. BAIT AND SWITCH. They acknowledge the price they gave you and say they changed their minds and then refuse to sell you any! 1 hour drive to store just to be sent away with nothing. This has been reported to BBB for unjust way of running a business. I EMPLOY NO ONE TO SHOP HERE!!

Ill preface this review by saying that Im not an avid card game person but do personally ADORE board games. With that out of the way this store is pretty great for getting into the board game and tabletop scene. Quite a wide selection of games, cards, dice, minis and many more items to make your tabletop gaming experience complete. The staff if very knowledgeable with their inventory and tabletop gaming in general, if you have a question theyll answer your question and then some. Prices are competitive with both online retailers and other brick and mortar shops. If youre into tabletop gaming and in the area, its a shop worth checking out.

When you walk in and ask for card protectors that you can use in play for MTG and say your friend recommended a brand called Dragon something - you should know that your customer isnt a die-hard. I hate elitist shops. I stated I want a few hundred protectors that I can shuffle MTG cards with, wanted the Dragon something brand. He showed me different brands asked me irrelevant questions (how big is my deck, do I have a box, how many cards do I have in said box, what size SLEEVES do I need... I said, just need the sleeves. For some reason he got more upset and asked what color. I said grey, he said OK so silver. Grabs 3 *Dragon Shield* boxes and rings me up in a huff. If youre noob - avoid like the plague. If he hadnt been an impatient ass I would have spent around a hundred dollars, maybe more, on stuff I also wanted. Instead Ill be returning these and getting them from a more customer friendly shop closer to my home. Wont be back!

This is a great store to play at and buy the supplies you need. I have never had any issue finding what I was looking for. The owner Perry is very friendly and always offers help or suggestions when looking for games. He is very active in asking players what they want in terms of tournaments. His store is also cleaner and brighter than most game stores I have been to.

Only three stars because yes they are friendly after you break the timid barrier the workers seem to have. My review is that this place is great for everything but yugioh. They are inconsistent with tournaments and this upset me because I came from Wisconsin to play and ended up wasting time and gas to just purchase two packs because not a single person showed up for the tournament.

Awesome place to hang out and just have a good time, if you are playing a tcg or a board game. The owner is great and so is his son. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a community to play games with.

Review №44

There is a decent selection of games, but not a lot of stock rotation so even going a year between visits sees most of the same games in the same locations. This seems to he because the shop makes it very clear that Magic, and to a lesser extent miniatures games, are their bread and butter. The owner seems very friendly towards regulars, but a bit lukewarm towards newcomers.

Free Poker on league! The space is open for Poker on leagues on Saturdays. We took our kids the first time and the owner and the volunteers were very friendly and accepting. They had a good supplies of cards and so many COOL board games that you wont be able to find at big box companies.

I drive 55 minutes to this location simply because its on of the best stores there is in its category. I recently purchased a tyranid codex here. When I got home and went through it u noticed one of the pages was missing. I promptly called the store explained my situation and they didnt even hesitate to fix it. They ordered a new codex for me that same way and I couldnt be any happier. Highly recommend this location.

Guys were rude to my friend. All he asked was for a price look up on some cards they had. They gave him a rip off price and he said he wouldn’t buy them. Guy gets an attitude and yells “then why did you have me price check them?!” Any Customer is allowed to get a price to see if your prices can beat the competition. But if you’re going to double the price than what every other vendor prices them at, you won’t see business.

This store is absolutely garbage, first the workers give you attitude, then they rip you off when you try to sell some cards. I went there and try to sell a Mega Charizard X mint condition and two other Charizard Ys and he only offered $35. This store is a joke and so are the employees.
