Tldr- great store, friendly staff, welcoming player community, clean!

As a game store owner i have a pet peeve with windows being covered in posters, or at all, but upon entering quickly noticed they just obscured the view into the sizeable play area.

The store had lots of room to move around, was neatly organized, and felt welcoming with good sight lines; it didnt feel like a trap.

The board game selection was small, but very clearly well thought out, all the best sellers were present, which i prefer over having 100 good games and 1000 not so great ones for the sake of having a "great selection". Almost any game I would suggest to new board game players was present, nicely displayed, and reasonably priced.

I came with the intention of playing in a magic event, but a phone call I couldn't postpone made me quite late for the posted start time. The staff were respectful and let me look around on my phone in peace, and when my call was done I apologized and let them know I came for the event and know I missed the start.

The staff went to the players, and although I was late and they had started already, everyone agreed to make a concession and let me join in, messing up the whole structure. I don't play magic almost ever, and everyone was super patient with me while I read cards that they all had memorized for weeks. There was absolutely no feeling of having walked in to a private group, which is a welcomed change of pace from most game store communities, they tend to be quite clicky.

The bathroom was the cleanest, nicest game store bathroom I'd ever used, they clearly take pride in every aspect of their store.

My only suggestion is to bring in a handful of inexpensive card sleeves; I know they don't sell all that well, and it's more fun to make more money and generally better for customers to just buy good ones, but I couldn't justify buying 20$ sleeves when damaging the cards I drafted would only reduce their value by $5. I 100% would have picked up a pack of gamegenic or ultra pros if they were available ( I might just have missed them)

Fantastic store all in all. The last stop on my coast to coast tour of game stores, and definitely deserves to be in my top 5, coast to coast

Amazing and fantastic place! So much to play, see, and do. Great help and loads of gaming chances. Enjoying the place with my kids and friends. Magic! Pokemon! Tamagotchi even. My kids still adore this place and the people there. All available here to play, and board games galore.

Such great staff, best place to go in and sit down at their computer and see their inventory, make a list to get pulled. Such an important part of my EDH habit!! Thanks Midgard!

The greatest experience. This store has all the love of a mom and pop store, with the work ethic to keep up with big corporations. Staff will welcome you warmly into the store. Staff have a deep knowledge of product carried in their store, and furthermore, they go above and beyond to hold functions and activities that purely go to the enjoyment of clients, not to mention their charity work. Support this business. They are a shining example of how local business with a great work ethic and community mindfulness should be. Thank you so much for establishing your business.

There hasn't been a time I've walked out of this store disappointed. The whole gang is knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. MtG singles selection is the best in the city. Huge selection of board games for any age and skill level. Bonus points for being pet-friendly!

Incredible space filled with everything to make a Nerds christmas. Kinda hard not to keep stopping in here everytime I'm in the area. Staff are hyper knowledgable and filled with the same nerdy glee so it just feels like home.
