Overpriced. Nice place with a lot of stuff and the guy behind the counter is friendly but charging double the tcg price for a pack of cards is insane. They also don't shuffle seeded boxes so if youre not the very first to buy fresh opened, you aren't going to get the rare hit.
The store has just about everything you may need for TCG/tabletop games. Massive selection. I’m unable to recommend this place as the TCG prices are just unreasonable and I feel like I’m being price gouged when I try to buy anything. Singles are above market place, sealed product is well above msrp. I wanted to pick up 2 packs of bloomburrow and the total came to $17 with tax.. I was stunned. Can’t support a shop that’s just pricing itself way out of the game. Plenty more local shops deserve support.
Very happy to say that this place is great.nnThe atmosphere is very nice, Staff is friendly, prices are fair and there’s lots to see and get.
The comic tour rolled into one of my favorite cities SYRACUSE!! Popped on into Play the Game Read the story. Really cool comic store. A ton of back issues!! Stop on by if your in the area nerds!! Enjoy! 👍👍
I’ve been a customer with them since I was a kid. The unbridled greed in the pricing on all fronts from TCG to dnd is disgusting and shameful. Add unhappy and rude staff that just yell at you that it’s the market price even though that’s also just a flat out lie is sad. Go to any other shop.
