---sigh\n\nOh, and no. That sigh is not the preamble of a bad review, as evidenced by the stars I gave it. Please, read on.\n\nThese are the things I found when I twice went to this place:\n\n1) Board games of all kinds\n2) RPG games of all kinds\n3) Trading card games\n4) Miniature games\n5) Dice of all kinds behind a glass case\n6) a selection of casual card games\n\nThere's a section where games that are youth-oriented are kept. The huge gaming room for tabletop games is 1/5 (approx.) size of the store. I saw a plaque dedicating the game room to someone who passed on, a fellow gamer. That, I thought, was awesome.\n\nThe board games were arranged by publisher and theme. The trading card games or CCGs were behind a counter with the cashier. The RPGs can be opened and looked at, just like it was at a bookstore.\n\nThe person behind the counter, the owner as I was told by my friend who's a local, was calling people and leaving them messages that the games they reserved are in and will be waiting for them. He seemed nice and some customers engaged him in lively and rather animated conversations.\n\nSo, you may ask, why the sigh?\n\nBecause, as an out-of-towner, I wish we had more of these kind of stores back where I'm from. From where I'm from, we have the ff:\n\n1) A dedicated game store, but small\n2) A game store, along with either comics, or other hobbies that include plastic models and fake guns that shoot\n3) A comic store that sells games, and that limits their inventory\n\nThat's why I sighed. We don't have local game stores that are like this place. So, people of the Metro Phoenix area, rejoice. I am officially jealous, and I normally don't gush about my feelings of envy or jealousy on Yelp.\n\nSo why 4 and not 5 stars? I'm not from here. So I don't know if this place fully deserves 5 stars yet. I will be back, and I will carrying that last star with me. I hope you understand.\n\nSigned..... Alex L.
