Best card store ever.
Great local game shop. Friendly staff, welcoming environment. Next to a bar. Weekly events of board games, Magic, Pokemon and more.
THE BEST GAME SHOP EVER!!!! Jamie is so nice and funny. They also give good prices on cards.
Jamie is awesome and knows Pokémon. There's a Pokémon group that meets on mondays and FNM (MTG card game) is generally pretty relaxed!
Best retail store I've ever been to. Period. Friendly, knowledgeable and hilarious staff. Prices that are competitive even with online retailers. They always have the product you're looking for. Convenient location near the train and free parking. Plus it's KID FRIENDLY.
For a more detailed review...
I played Magic the Gathering about 20 years ago. 20 years of new cards, different rules and strange strategies that I missed out on. I wanted to play again but was very intimidated. I called The Colony to see if someone like myself could still be a viable player at a Friday Night Magic tournament. I spoke with Steve initially and I've never felt more at ease!
Steve offered his guidance and everyone at the store (customers included) were very friendly and played fairly all while teaching me the new rules. After about a year, I'm still not the best player but I've been known to squeak out a win here and there. I've had so many nights with endless laughs, new friends and fantastic memories. The cards are what initially brought me to The Colony but it's the community that makes me want to come back.
As far as the store itself? Jamie runs an organized, clean and safe store. They have players from 10 years old to 60+. If you have ever wanted to try/come back to table top games/card games there is no better place than The Colony!
Jamie, Steve (owners) and Anthony (unwilling employee/aspiring artist) are your friendly neighborhood game store staff!
