These folks are always amazing. Vary knowledgeable and net just helpful, but excited to help. A great selection of board games and tons of figurines. I want to be a DM when I grow up and this is a one stop shop for all of the info and supplies I need. They do require a mask and have a big gaming space with tables set up for play.
My favorite game store. Very good collection of games and mostly miniatures. The staff are amazing! Super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! Also, very helpful people in the shop. They also seem to keep a very good stock of paints.
The time Ive been in the staff has been super friendly and helpful. They have a huge product selection at reasonable prices. Highly recommend
The guy at the counter was very nice, but said we needed masks. He look for masks to provide, but they were out. It was very nice looking store. I have no idea about products, but it seemed stocked.
Such a great game shop! The Owner and staff are super friendly, helpful and they care about everyone in their community. Could not recommend this place enough. It is literally the best game store Ive ever shopped and played at!
A lot of stock and super friendly, really knowledgeable staff. They had great suggestions and were happy to walk us through some of the nuances of a game that wed never played before and offered to help us build an army.
Ive been playing here since the store opened and have made so many great memories. I had several friends in last week who arent regular gamers, and the owner and staff helped them find perfect options for their interests and the people theyd be likely to enjoy their new games with. Simply my favorite game store in the metro Phoenix area.
Staff is more than happy to check stock and help you pick out boardgames and explain stuff to you
They have the most friendly and helpful staff I have seen! Their assortment of models, paints, and tools is crazy good too. Cant say enough nice things!
Jed was amazing, super helpful, very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this shop. Look for Jed when have questions or need help.
Great local game shop. Weve been coming recently for the games on Friday night. Friendly staff
Almost 1 year into Warhammer 40k and I can honestly say Games U has been there every step of my journey into the hobby. From helping me pick an original painting scheme to my necrons to helping me with rules questions, the one-on-one interactions with EACH staff member are always phenomenal. I cant wait for the tables to be opened up 100% and compete!
Theres better places. I know Ill never come back here again.
Best selection of games workshop products! Top notch place, great selection, friendly staff. Good stuff... Go here.
Great store used to go here almost every weekend. The owner and staff are all great and very knowledgeable on everything they sell. Lots of room and lots of table for playing miniatures games, some painting tables, and an awesome customer rewards program. The store is very clean and very well stocked. I wish they still carried Vallejo paints but I understand why they stopped. Check them out if youre into Warhammer, tabletop, or board games in general.
Very rude, I am fully vaccinated, but couldnt enter because I didnt have a mask on. Take your business to Game Depot, they actually will serve their customers.
Best place to shop for war gaming miniatures. Staff is wonderful and polite.
Rude staff and overpriced. Will not visit again!
Went there and found great staff and bought a bunch of Infinity.
Very knowledgeable and help support local merchants. Amazing supply of board games and paints.
Amazing tabletop/board game/mini shop with super nice staff!!
10 out of 10. Great customer service. And a good selection of games even during the pandemic. I told them I was starting a gaming collection and what kind of games I was looking for and he told me what I should look out for and how board game companies work. Came out with some great games for some good prices too. Cant wait to go back.
Vaccinated, but not allowed to shop without a mask. Made to feel extremely unwelcome. Will be shopping online from now on.
Clean store, great selection, and a welcoming community.
If I could give more stars, I would! Games U had a great staff, atmosphere, and selection. The owner Jeff is a splendid and hard working person who gets to know all his customers well and takes care of their needs best he can. Even with COVID, the store has been keeping their customers and safety paramount and providing a safe shopping experience. Cant wait until we can play there again!
We walked in and automatically were greeted with a smile and a friendly staff member! Sterling gave us an amazing experience. I loved the store and they had everything I could have asked for. I will be going back in the future!
Best staff I have ever met at a game store. Every one of them are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I would highly recommend this store to anyone!!!
They gave my DM free copper dice which he used to hit me for half of my stamina. 0/10 (no star)
Terrible service, walked in and walked right back out, stay away from this place.
One of the most comfortable games stores in the valley. If other game stores make you feel unwelcome for any reason, give GamesU a shot! Very friendly staff and great morals.
The staff are friendly and helpful. I have gotten good advice on paints and storage.
Games U had a great environment and a great selection of products. Their staff are very knowledgeable and are willing to help and answer questions or find things you didnt know you even wanted.
Its definitely a nice place as far as game stores go. Remember that its a miniature/tabletop store not like a game stop. The staffing is attentive and polite and rather quick to greet you. More of a floor presence than behind the counter.I make it a point to buy something if I go in to support the business, a good practice that I recommend. Only suggestion would be one employee behind the counter and one on the floor but I understand that doubles daily wages so one employee is fine. Also they have a rewards program.
The staff was so friendly. I went there for warhammer paint & they were out of a few basic colors but it wasn’t their fault. The company is having issues sending them right now because of Covid. I could tell the guy who worked there really loved all this & it shows. I love it when people are passionate about their work.
Love this store and the Owner. Looks out for you as a customer. The Owner and the manager have strong ethics and morals and thats a big deal to me. Always happy to come shop at GamesU!
Great store with friendly and helpful staff!
Good knowledge of games and amazing selection.
Hobby and Game store. I love this store! Great atmosphere, awesome employees, and helpful tidbits. Great stuff in the store, good community.
Sterling was INCREDIBLY helpful. He took almost 20 minutes walking me through the steps of painting a miniature and his experiences in Warhammer. Will definitely be coming back here!
Could not recommend this place highly enough. Staff has always been super friendly, one in particular is always willing to put up with my questions and help me figure out how to paint my minis. Just be careful, hes very good at getting you to buy just one more shade of paint, because wouldnt that just look the best on that mini? And hes never wrong.
Stopped in quickly, staff were super nice and very helpful.
The definition of the FRIENDLY local game store. Jeff, the owner, sat with us and enthusiastically taught us a game. It’s a game we immediately bought. The people behind the counter were super friendly and going out of their way to help customers. The place is clean, bright, fresh and an warm environment. A good mix of miniatures and board games. I like this store because it does not feel like a magic/comic store and more like a true tabletop store. Highly recommend!
Visited 3 weeks ago looking for d&d miniatures. Grung and tabaxi. Very common can be found at authoria and amazing discovery easily. 3 people at counter no one greeted my family or said hi. After 10 min of looking and not finding what I wanted, I walked up and asked the rep at the counter. He looked annoyed and said that Wiz kids doesnt make them anymore. Flat out lie, so I asked about paint and shades, he said racks of paint are in corner you cant miss it. Confused i said what brand or type of shader would you recommend and the rep responded its all about the same then turned to someone at counter and asked them if they wanted to check out.I left. Went to amazing discovery. They had high energy greetings and walked me to their minis. Found the grung and tabaxi, explained they arent out of print. Showed me wiz kids site on their computer systems and showed its still being ordered regularly. Invited me to their mailing list, and showed me 3 new types of minis that came out and some cool dice.You guys need to do better. In this pandemic how the hell you losing business to anyone who could buy online is besides me. Im never coming back. Amazing discovery is my new place. Even bought my daughter their t shirt which was pink and soft and she loved it.
It is amazing
Neat place has all you need if your into board games and stuff like hero clicks
This is my favorite gaming store in the valley. Theyve got a wonderful gaming area and terrain, good selection of snacks, and a free-to-use hobby area for painting and building models complete with cutting mats, water mugs, and lamps. There is a colorful cast of regulars at the shop and its an accepting and inclusive place to spend your weekends.I tried out several other stores for gaming and shopping, but GamesU has become more than that- its my home away from home. The staff have all become good friends of mine. They go above and beyond to make sure you leave happy. The selection of products are incredible as well- they have full (and I mean FULL) GW lines on the shelves as well as smaller miniatures games like Infinity, Marvel, and every WizKids mini you can huck $5 at.I look forward to coming back to game here after COVID, and will continue to make all my purchases here. Theyre good people.
The shop was clean and well laid out. There were tables being played on by D&D players, Warhammer players, and magic players. This tells me that the atmosphere in this shop is friendly as well as inviting. Additionally the shop has a few drinks and snacks inside that are rather convenient. Will return and possibly host a weekly 5e D&D game here.
This place is great! It has a wide selection of just about any miniature table top game, the staff is courteous and helpful, and there is a lot of room to play. 10/10 will definitely return.
Games U probably feels like the new kid on the block for Phoenix gaming, but over the last three years its built a rock-solid reputation. Its a store with a great community and deep wargaming selection. The tables here are great with lots of terrain, room to play and light. The owner are staff are cheerful and welcoming and just all around good people. This is the kind of place you find yourself looking for reasons to support. I play here a lot because its close to my work, but if you are into sci-fi/fantasy wargaming, its well worth the drive.
Best shop in the valley, one of the coolest gaming spaces ever. Great painting/hobby as well. Staff is always rad.
A great place. Happy to live so near.
Awesome table top gaming store. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable of the stock they carry. Great place to hang out and roll some dice in your time off, I highly recommend!
Good selection of minis to buy with tons of tables for RPG sessions and war gaming plus a dedicated build/paint area! They also gave great weekend hours. A++
Ive spent many fantastic evenings here playing board games. I regularly run an RPG group at the store as well. The employees are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate how the staff works to create an inclusive and safe gaming environment for everyone, and you can see it in the diversity of the customers. Whether youre looking to buy gifts for the gamers in your life, seeking something new to try, looking for new friends, or a seasoned gamer yourself, this is a great shop.They carry board games, card games, miniatures, role playing games, as well as chess and poker sets.
Friendly local game store
After visiting four game stores in the area while on vacation, this was the best one for Tabletop gamers. Great selection of games, even a few we hadnt seen before.They also have space for playing games and painting minis. Didnt get a chance to peruse their library or games available for play, but maybe next time.
Awesome place, love the atmosphere and everyone there is welcoming. Knowledgeable staff with lots of product to explore. Also, professional painters go there regularly and hold classes.
Great place to pick up, or play a game, or just have a nice afternoon to hang out and paint
Very clean and organized spot. They had a great selection of all different types of games, with a few decent areas to game set around store. There was a very friendly gentleman who asked if we were looking for anything special and pointed us in the right direction. Overall seems like a good FLGS.
Friendly and always helpful.
Love this place. There are few places you can go where the staff and managers are helpful, talkative, and above all welcoming. They will help you pick from the wide array of games, navigating from the first game outside of the standard to as obscure as it gets.Not only will they help you choose, but often will help you learn. Once the basics are mastered youll almost always find a group there to play with. Really cant say enough good things about Games U, the staff, and the customers playing there.
I went in with my fiancee to look for a d&d dice set and browse. We are new to table top gaming and IDK if the staff just ate or was on a lunch break but we walked around the store and we got a bunch of awkward looks and stares and just didnt feel welcomed. We found the dice sets in the display case by the register and the one staff member that was there just sat there and stared at us we felt uncomfortable and embarrassed and just left. I ended up finding a better experience out west later thats worth a trip. When people come in to a store its important to acknowledge customers and say something like hey guys whatcha looking for?new here? especially if you want them to come back.
Had fun playing on the tables, it got packed after lunch. Lots of fun stuff there for sale.
Greeted at the door and helped out with my purchase. Didnt feel pressured or ignored. Thank you
I enjoyed my game with a gentleman named Mack today. We played Bolt Action. The store had nice tables and plenty of terrain available. They had merchandise for the game in store. A very good day.
Stopped in to play infinity while traveling and was amazed at the fantastic atmosphere! They also have a really wide selection of games and hobby supplies in stock. Highly recommend stopping in and meeting everyone.
The folks at the shop are super helpful and knowledgeable. Great place to paint your Warhammer, or other minis. I went to play games with friends, but it made me want to start painting little fantasy figures again.
Very cool place! Friendly and the manager is awesome! A great place for all your gaming needs!
The place is huge! Lots of gaming room, great inventory and the nicest people. Ill be going back.
Great location with a solid selection. I just wish they had the game I was looking for. Found something else to keep me busy though. They had a gaming tournament taking place which added to the atmosphere.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff... I always end up walking out with at least one game. You can sign up for a rewards program and gather points towards future purchases (I believe that is how it works). Plus the host a game night from 6:30-9pm every other Wednesday. Its great to meet up with friends, meet new local game enthusiasts, and run RPGs or play board games.
This store has a wide variety of table games, board games, miniatures, and card games. The staff is very knowledgeable, and after coming and playing in several game nights, Ive never had a bad experience. Highly recommend.
I absolutely LOVE this place, They always greet me when I walk in and they know SO MUCH about all their games! They are happy to answer questions and make recommendations based on what you like. I always buy my games here.
Store was very busy which is nice, employee took time to explain to me and my son the pros and cons of a few Warhammer products. He answered all my questions and helped us get started in tabletop gaming. He offered to help teach us once were ready to play a game. I have been waiting for a store like this in the east valley. Also they had a great selection of GamesWorkshop products when other stores are stopping carrying GW. Im excited to have a store I can support.
Fantastic game store and super friendly staff! Always clean and brightly lit. Has plenty of tables for table top gaming or smaller tables for other style games. They have a good selection of games and paints and will help you find whatever youre looking for.
Clean friendly game store. Amazing selection, though more heavily slanted to minis and euro games. Would like to see some more casual games on the shelf, exploding kittens, unstable unicorns, etc but then you are competing with Walmart / target.
Hands down best game store in AZ. So friendly and Veteran friendly as well. I used to go their daily when I worked nights. Now I just have to settle for weekly I guess
A must go to place for your Games Workshop needs in the valley.
Great customer service, awesome place to build, paint miniatures, even play games. Buy miniatures, paint, and many more games. Great environment for some enrichment.
The simple fact that the business owners business plan is education of complex board games is 5 stars enough, however this is one of the few stores that Ive experienced that not only encourage painting of models for games such as warhammer, this establishment also provides the space and equipment to do so.The owner and I were talking about the decline of video games and how most of the newer ones are pretty much all the same. The owner is a former elementary school instructor and he started encouraging his students to play board games instead of video games and sure enough the board game playing students were better readers, better problem solvers and had better memories. Games U is the future of board game establishments.
I dig this new friendly local game store - the selection is good (and getting better all the time), and the staff is knowledgeable and nice. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and as a girl, its a nice change to be treated, by default, as someone who belongs in this space. LOVE THIS STORE.
Amazing place to find all sorts of games!! Lots of Board games (new and old), card games, RPG and miniatures!! Its a large store with open tables and even a crafting table to use! The staff is great and the owner is amazing! 10/10 recommend
My go to place for Warhammer 40k games in the East Mesa area. Necromunda, Horus Heresy and other game formats are available and have vibrant communities. Definitely a must visit.
Great welcoming and clean environment. Love to teach new players (owner is a former teacher). Lots of board games and minis! Good crowd every night!
Nice clean store. Reasonably good stock. Fellow behind the cash register was very nice and accommodating.
Visited from another part of the country. Great use of space! Friendly staff! Get your games here, play them here too!
Super friendly, they’ve shared stories about their dnd games. Showed us many books figures and game boards, showing us how much they enjoyed the games themselves. I really enjoy talking with people who enjoy their job because they shine brightly with excitement.
Unfortunately, there was an event going on and there was no hygiene rules enforced, the place smelled pretty bad...
Always fun and friendly. Plus they have a dog named Luna there sometimes. They accept groups coming in and playing board games, rp games, and any other games that are not video games. A group of my friends come here every other week for a game day. Plus so many games you wont believe it.
Really great folks to chat with, fantastic selection, and very knowledgeable. Proud to call Games U my FLGS of choice.
Love to play my character here. Highly recommended for RPG.
A store to watch! This seems like a very small, upstarting game store, so their selection isnt massive, especially in the RPG section. That said, on both occasions I was in, the staff greeted me as soon as my foot hit the door, theyve offered to order products if its not on stack, and the last time I was in there, the place was packed by the gaming and painting tables. Definitely going to be visiting them more often
This is a great place for miniature, role playing and board games.The staff is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the games.They have great tables for playing and have good store hours.
Its definitely the place to be for any Warhammer enthusiasts. However they have odds and ends worth checking out for everyone else whos a collector of sorts.
Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Nice gaming store. Sells Games Workshop, Forge World and other table top and board games. Has tables for painting and gaming. The people and staff are helpful and friendly.
Go to place for all things Warhammer 🙌 The owner Jeff is so nice!
