Sara's full firsthand review

This is such a neat little mom and pop game store that is tucked in a quiet and cozy little part of town. The store owners, Tama and Jason are friendly, they will be quick to show you around & answer any questions you may have. They have a variety of books, miniatures, plushies and board games. Many gaming accessories for those that are into that type of stuff. Very fantasy like spot that will buzz the imagination of any that walks into the shoppe. You can also rent a board game and play with friends. Oh Tuesday evenings, the community hosts dungeons and dragons board game nights. A popular game from the 80s that has definitely had a revamp and has its own return into the world of board games. This is a fun little store where you can really be yourself and tap into your imagination. Dressing up in costumes is allowed and you can play the role of any character that comes to mind. Halloween is probably such a fun little time to explore Golems Gate, as well as any other seasonal holiday. Bring in your friends to this store and have fun! The more the merrier. This spot is a little nostalgic for those that love anything retro as well. A place where you can chat it up, put your phones away and do something a bit different. How's that for nostalgia? Cheers!
