Both are friendly and both are decently stocked. Both are quite willing to special order anything they don't have on their shelves and even tack on a small discount to the price for not having it in the store for ya.Both shops have space available to play/host games, and this is one of the best parts of a game store. One is about half the size as the other one so the playing space is more limited and it can be much louder when the place is full ... that could also explain why it is always fun too heehee. Of course, noise is a given in any store that has game space. You have to put up with the guys at the other table hollering about rules or laughing obnoxiously loud, or even just taking up more space than is needed for their game. The best thing (for me) is that obscenities in language are at a minimum as per store rules, and that alone makes me wish all my games could be hosted at one of the FLGS!Being the only girl at the table (for most of my games), it's nice to have a neutral territory to be in. I've played in games where because the game is hosted at an individual's house there is an unwritten rule that he/she gets to act however rudely, crudely or obnoxiously as they want because of a "you're in my house dammit" mentality. The unfortunate trend I've noticed in both shops is that they've both begun to put a huge focus on the crack-heads oops, I mean Magic players lately. It's all you hear about these days ... tournament here, draft there, pre-release event here. But, having said that, I can see why. I mean, apparently other sales are down and no matter how rough things are ... magic players always manage to have enough to keep their addiction going <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />At any rate, both shops get two thumbs up from me!!</blockquote>
