Very nice and cozy place, but the real value are the people. Game shops are not only places where you go to purchase games, if they were then wed all go online. Game shops are where you go for information and to join a community. The people at Da Sorce embody this well! I walked in on a Sunday in a less than good mood and they proceeded to not only cheer me up but engage me in my gaming interests as well as introduce me to interests I didnt know I had. This is what a good game store should be! they do events and game nights, the owners and workers are all passionate about their gaming and their passion is communicable and does not exclude as so much fandom can easily do. I loved purchasing those games and I loved meeting William and Lynn. Thanks Guys! Ill be back soon!

We came to Da Source for a birthday party and both the children and adults had a great time! The staff clearly explained how to play with Pokemon cards and how to execute a proper battle. For those that didnt want to play, they have an extensive card and game selection that you can play in house or rent and take home, them return. It really is a wonderful place.

Super fun place. It has lots of fun activities. You can play D&D, Magic, Pokemon, Shadow Run, and so much more. For a minimum if 5$ a game. You can also get board games, graphic novels, handbooks and the Pops. Its an all-around super fun place with many different things that you can do. I suggest you go there if you are near Lincoln square.

Started playing D&D here Saturday nights and my first play session was a great welcome back to bring a player. Kim was a great DM and everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. Really looking forward to the next session.

I have only been coming here for a few years. I have to say I am very impressed by the outstanding service and clean and friendly environment. It’s a great place to buy and sell cards and they provide competitive prices. There’s always something new to buy or do here. They always go above and beyond for all their customers. It’s a great place to hang out and have fun at. Highly recommended to those who want above and beyond service, fair prices buying or selling and a very comfortable environment to spend time at.

Kid-friendly, Queer-friendly neighborhood comic shop and gaming center (tabletop and electronic). Friendly and courteous staff. Ladies Night is awesome! (You dont need to be a lady to participate but it helps to have a ladys name or title).Sapphire Solís

These folks are amazing, and manage to ride the good side of that fine line between helpful and overbearing. They give you your space while you’re looking, then come over and give you some insider info on whatever you seem interested in, and then back off so you can make your choice judgment free. Very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable!

Great store that is staffed and frequented by wonderful people. Da Sorce has everything you could ask for in a local gaming store: a wide variety of unique products (check out the flasks that look like N64 cartridges!), a room for tabletop/card gaming with ample seating, refrigerated drinks, tournaments of all kinds. What really sets Da Sorce apart is their friendly and inclusive attitude toward everyone. They thrive to be a place where anyone will feel welcome and they succeed at it.

Ive been a fan since this place opened day one! Amazing staff the owners are fun and very knowledgeable and understanding of each game and everything else they sell and in understanding the the way of dealing with children, they are very patient and always aim to help the kids in anyway they can. The adults that visit are very interesting people and a few Ive seen personally are rather famous. Wont name names of course lol but I recommend this shop to anyone looking to learn a new game or even play some classics or even if you just wanna get away for a few hours in some awesome comics this is the place to go.

Review №31

Great place to join a casual DnD game, borrow a board game or just browse tcg cards. They have a great pass system that ensures that the store stays in business and prevents unpleasant layabouts from turning it into their living room. A really refreshing take on a games store.
