Derek went over and beyond Customer Service. He was very helpful and answered all my questions he spent detailed time showing answering questions and helping me purchase gifts for a 13 year old and 64 year old.I believe he had my interest at heart. The attention to detail provided by Derek was impressive and his customer service skills are excellent. I will always buy from Games Galore!

I saw that they had a bunch of UPS boxes, or FedEx boxes..... or Amazon boxes...... How else do people have things shipped these days? Great Customer service. You may pay a little more but its physical store that has helpful and nice people. Dont be a bad customer and you get great service... Crazy concept. Mind blown. ... :-)

I loved the store and was so exited to see the cards and games they had. When I say this Pikachu card from a certain machine I just had to play for it. I spent $35 to finally get the card and drive home only to relieve that the card was fake. I want a refund or at least a different prize that is really worth something. I am outraged by this. Don’t get scammed like me.

Saw a truck load of amazon boxes getting unloaded, everythings over priced compared to amazon. The dnd books are literally 25 books on amazon but 50 in the store, I cant imagine what else is marked so far up. I also saw a lot of the plush on sale at 5 below, but they wanted like 35 bucks here. When asked about pay since they were hiring recently, its criminally low and the turn around money is clearly not being spent on inventory. Total sham of a local small business. Go to any other local gaming store for better deals and ethical companies.

Far from a unique selection. I saw all these games at the grocery store. I was bought a gift from here and it had an amazon sticker on it but was supposedly new... Prices very high. They have a lot of kid stuff

The guy that runs this store took a dollar from my son today because he said he was leaning against the game and it caused quarters to come out. While I get that may be a rule, the way it was handled was very unprofessional and accusatory. My son said he didn’t do it on purpose and we’ve probably spent $50 on the last two weeks at this store. It was a poor choice by this guy as he lost a customer today with the way this was handled. He could’ve asked him to be more careful. Customer service isn’t that hard and it’s obvious this guy hasn’t been trained. Cool store just terrible customer service.

Their prices are too high and, many times they dont have what I want, I always get told that theyre sold out. They dont keep enough stock in to ensure that you can get what you want.

Had a great experience with the store owner, was a really nice guy. He helped me and my buddies get set up with a D&D set and also helped with a few Pokemon and Magic requests. I recommend stopping by here if youre in need of some help starting a hobby.

Great store with great staff, however you might want to check grocery stores or Amazon first. They literally buy stuff on Amazon and sell it for a mark up. I only know this because something I bought still had an Amazon product sticker on it. I paid $35 for the item and it was on Amazon for $15. I will probably only buy stuff here if I cannot find it elsewhere first.

All of these games can be found at the grocery or dept. store for much cheaper ( the actual prices...) seriously check the game aisle at your local store, this place is nothing special, at all...check online before you pay too much.

This is an awesome shop to purchase board games! The owner is a very personable man who has excellent suggestions. The prices are reasonable and he has some of the harder to find games. Very helpful and I definitely recommend you shop here!

I went to this store a couple days ago and I had a amazing experience there, the sales people were very helpful. The owner of the store is very energetic knows what I needed when I asked him what kind of game I was looking for. This place has all the new and improve games a person could ever ask for. Bringing these games home to my family having a great game night was great. Can’t wait to come to this store again and seeing the new games that he has. This is a awesome store to go to I will def being telling people about this gaming store!

Love this store!!! Has become my number one go to store when needing a game for a gift or just a fun game night. If they do not have it in the store, the manager has been able to find it and get it at a relatively fast time and price. The owner has also been able to go above and beyond with ideas for my family members that are hard to buy for. They have EVERYTHING!!!

This place is wonderful, always looking for fun and innovative ways to bring joy to family games nights or for the serious gamers. Anytime Ive requested something they have had success finding it with the many suppliers that they have and are always so kind and easy to talk to. You can tell this small business puts customers first

I spent $70 on a game that a sales representative talked me in to trying out. The Game is called what do you meme. I’m 26 years old and this game is definitely for teenagers. I called to ask if I can return or exchange the product, on the same day I purchased it. They do not allow returns or exchanges if the product has been open. I would not recommend purchasing anything from the store unless you have already played before.

I was surprised by the number of real tabletop games. Going in I was just expecting a bunch of kids and family games and enjoyed the selection of the not so kids and family games. Ill still be going to my local shop for any RPG and CCG needs, but if shopping in person and not online it would make a good stop to find gifts for people that are not video games.

I was at this store. Just recently today. The store is definitely open. I just bought Cards Against Humanity with all the expansion including some of the special edition expansion. Love this store. Has all kinds of unique boarding games. Along with some of the classic ones too. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Answer all my questions. They was more then willing to special order just about anything i wanted if they didnt have it at that time. Ill be definitely be shopping here more often and telling all my friends about it.

A really unique store filled with items that are hard to find else where. They have games In the store that I had never heard of and there is something in the store for everyone! Prices stay comparable to amazon while of having the added bonus of knowing you are supporting local business. I go back time and time again to see what the next big game is going to be!

SUPER fun place! Staff knows what theyre selling and has at least approximate knowledge of every game in the store, super friendly owners, great, bright atmosphere, all-around my new favorite store to frequent when Ive got some free time and/or money to spare, me and my girlfriend are both big-time gamers and go at least a few times a week. LOVE THIS PLACE!

I didnt know this store existed until my friend and I went to Easton yesterday. I instantly fell in love. They pretty much have any game youd gave a craving for, whether its board or card. And for some of the products, the prices arent bad! I got a couple expansion foil packs for my Cards Against Humanity. I didnt get the sales guys name, but he was very personable and helpful! Would shop here again.

Ive been to a lot of game stores around, and theres not really any bad choices. Except for this one. I found several products priced over MSRP for no real reason other than to take advantage of people. When I brought up the pricing, I was told to go somewhere else if you dont like it. Well I did. Any you can too, theres other good game shops in town. Go there.

This location isnt closed! It just moved. This store has a lot of great tabletop games for more serious and lots of classic board games/ games geared towards families and children. It also carries really cool fandom and video game merch (including puzzles, plush, and more). Its a great store, located near Saks Fifth Avenue on the lower level of the mall, and I greatly recommend stopping by and checking it out. There really is something for everyone and its one of my favorite stores!

Review №63

I have visited the store on multiple occasions, and have observed their semi-high prices when compared to other retailers. I assumed that was because it was located in a high end location at Easton. I always assumed they sold games at the MSRP. Never could I have imagined that they were intending to be dishonest above MSRP. Today, the truth was revealed. I stopped in to buy Keyforge decks, the hot new collectible card game. I had purchased decks in the past at both big box stores and local game stores. All of my experiences have seen the game sold at the MSRP of $9.95. When I asked the cashier at Games Galore how much his Keyforge decks were, he stated, $14.99, $5.05 above MSRP. After stating the price, he immediately went into defensive mode (you can tell he had tried to justify this in the past), and he said They are $20 on Amazon. I responded by saying, They are $9.95 on Amazon, but since they are sold out right now, individual resellers are trying to sell them for $20. I just walked here from Barnes and Noble where I bought 3 decks for $9.95 each. He responded by trying to look up the price on Amazon, then decided just to turn his tablet away (without looking it up) and said, they are $14.99.I stopped at a small friendly local game store after this and asked them how much they sell Keyforge decks for, and they said, MSRP, $9.95, we are not dishonest.If smaller shops than Games Galore are honest and fair, why do they feel the need to be dishonest and drive prices to in print games above the MSRP?I will be sharing this with my Columbus tabletop network, as this kind of business works against what the gaming community stands for. Hopefully they will change their ways, but until they do, I recommend The Guard Tower or other honest FLGS shops in the Columbus area.

The games are overpriced compared to every other major retailers and the staff are abrasive and a little rude. I like the idea of a small business store and went out of my way to shop there but I kind of regret it now. Will not buy from them again.

This store is amazing and so are the people that work there! They have so many different games to choose from that are both old and new, and a wonderful staff! I especially love how they have Cards Against Humanity, as well as the different expansion packs! Ive been looking everywhere for that holiday expansion pack, as well as the 4th and 5th expansion! I hated that they moved but Im so glad they are back open. For those who need help finding the place (because I was a little lost myself) its open on the lower level next to Saxs Fifth Avenue, near the childrens playground. Enjoy! =)
