I REALLY want to like this place. Were massive boardgame players, and this looked like the place to go.The location is nice, the staff is friendly, and the store layout are all great.You know whats not great though? The smoke. This place REEKS of cigarettes. Weve gone in two separate times and its like walking into a bar in the 80s. We noticed that people were smoking just outside the barber shop next door, so maybe the problem is the airflow being brought in from there. I dont know, but this problem definitely needs to be fixed because its just going to ruin the entire stock otherwise. Theyve got a sign up that says Now Smoke Free but...We buy A LOT of boardgames. Definitely wanted to have this be our main shop, and still do. Like I said, everything about it is amazing. But Im not gonna spend money of games that are saturated with cigarette stank. I really hope they can get this fixed.

It was awful here, I got rejected service and yelled at by the owner, I feel like it was because of my religious attire. Never come here, #EndPrejudice

They have an outstanding record selection, a great board games selection and very friendly staff. A great, fun, friendly place to shop.

Truly, the only thing this place is missing is a nice big space to play games.Their selection is enormous. Classic and modern games represented. Plenty of neat oddities. Lots of STEM products! I personally spent enough time very seriously looking at a few things so long that my fiance asked me how much I like rocks.If I were a kid again, I would be just as excited to go here as I would Toys R Us!It is attached to Vinyl Giant which largely sells vinyl records. Youd be surprised how much modern music is released on vinyl. Their selection of older records is really great too.Personally, I will likely never buy anything on the Vinyl side but I will nearly always look through it when I visit!

It’s rare for me to find a board game store that truly has a great selection. Everyone is helpful when I visit, and I love the games they have available. I will be shopping here often in the future.

Great selection! Super helpful! Only negatives are that there are no discount programs and sales are rare.

I stumbled across this gem while wandering around downtown, and what a find! The man I met in the store was extremely friendly and helpful. He directed me to an area of the games and took several minutes to offer helpful suggestions and a great recommendation. I bought the first game he recommended, and I played it together with some friends that night and had a great time. Cant wait to head back over to Game Giant and discover something new!!

Only place around that had the game I was looking for! I’m an impatient man and don’t like waiting on Amazon if I can possibly help it. Be back for sure!

We LOVE Game Giant!!! We have been several times and every time we have had a great experience. The owners and staff and friendly, knowledgeable, polite and helpful! They are super family friendly and even have a small kids play area. Game Giant has a large selection of games of many different genres as well as many of the new hot games right now. Several times we have discovered that their prices are even better than Amazons! This is ourgo-to game store in Fargo! Solid 5 star rating from us!!

I wish I could give this six stars, its just that damn good.This should, unquestionably, be at the top of your list for gifts (and lets be real, treat yo self moments) for any and all occasions. From new and used vinyl to games, greeting cards, and funky unique gifts, Game Giant really crushes it in the gift department selection.Cant find what youre looking for? Need something special ordered? Want to nerd out and talk games? Ask one of the delightful staff members and theyll help you out.Overall, this place is excellent. Dont believe me? Stop by and check it out for yourself, and I can assure you - you will not be disappointed.

Refusing customers if you dont wear a mask. This business will be out of business soon. You can find everything here online for less expensive anyways. Another business that played into the fear campaign. Getting closer to socialist America everyday.

I love this store! Henry is a legitimate board game genius. If you go in here with a concept of a game that you would like to play, he is the guy that will find it for you. Ive been delighted with every game Ive purchased here and about 90% have been based on his recommendation. A great selection which is only enhanced by a shopkeep who knows what you need better than you do!

Cool to see this opened downtown. Ive heard a number of people talk about how much they like the store and the inventory of games & other items. Having it adjacent to their vinyl store is a bonus. Of my recent visits, while I didnt ask any questions, I noticed how helpful the staff have been in answering questions and chatting about the games.

This store is such a gem! They have board games, toys, vinyl and the most unique novelties. This is the place to shop for that hard-to-find-gifts-for joker in your life. Im constantly finding something here I didnt know I needed.

Great local game store with super knowledgeable staff. They can always guide you to a game you will love, and if you are looking for a specific game they dont have in stock just ask and they will order it for. They also carry really high quality puzzles, toys, and gifts.

I went to Game Giant to pick up a copy of Rhino Hero Super Battle. It was the fourth game store in the FM area that I called and the only one to carry the game. They have an excellent selection of games for all ages. I bought a game that we could play with our 8-year-old and she loves it! Aaron (sp?) and Henry were very helpful and showed me other games for a younger audience. Thanks, Game Giant!

Large selection of games for whatever strikes your fancy, from games for younger kids to strategy games for the young adult crowd. Yard games too. A small selection of rpgs, but that isnt the focus. Shares space with a vinyl record store.
