They are the cleanest, friendliest, most professionally run game store I know of. They have 4 game rooms available for use by the public free of charge (best to reserve ahead of time) plus 5 demo tables in the main part of the store. The game rooms have professional quality board room tables and chairs, independent sound systems and you can request themed music. There is a large plasma screen prominently displayed in the store showing upcoming promotions as well as the standings in the current gaming leagues that are running. The store does focus a great deal on miniatures gaming, but they also have a good selection of pen & paper RPGs and a variety of excellent board games that is second to none. They maintain a record of customer "experience points" and every time you gain a level, you get a credit that you can apply to your next purchase or bank towards a future purchase.
They celebrated their first anniversary in business last week and had a gigantic celebration with a local radio station broadcasting live from the store, free BBQ & cake, hourly prizes and a raffle with a Nintendo Wii as the grand prize.
It is a fantastic store and I highly recommend it to everyone. They also have an excellent online store if a trip to the brick & mortar is too far.
