Amazing store. The guy at the counter was not afraid to tell me that one of the books I picked out was not a part of the most recent edition of the game. Most people would just scan whatever I had in my basket but they really cared about getting me into the hobby.

You need a board game. They got it. You need one explained. They got the knowledge. This is BY FAR the best board game shop I have come to visit. Anytime I’m am traveling near here, I stop in to see what’s new and maybe pick up something. The folks and atmosphere is amazing. Hands down my favorite game store to date.

Nice store. Ive never been in a place like this so there was a lot to take in. Lucky for me the salesman was great and pointed me to the right area. They had tons of D&D books and dice. Lots of other stuff also. Definitely worth checking out.

Great selection and an excellent staff willing to take the time to explain everything related to War hammer. I really appreciated their insight and help in selecting the best starter set to learn with so I can try and play with my son when he is home. Nice, clean facilities and lots of friendly people battling it out throughout the building. Great place!

My experience at this store was amazing not only for their great selection, but also because of one of their employees fantastic service. Merit, I hope I spelled that correct sorry if I didn’t, did an amazing job assisting other customers while balancing the lack of help from other employees. They assisted me, and other customers, in shopping for a game for my birthday and guided me into the correct selection. I cannot stress enough that I might not have bought this awesome game if it were not for their excellent help and salesmanship. For the employees that seemed to give them a rough time because they were balancing not only working the cash register as well as helping costumers, your behavior was the only reason why this experience was not as enjoyable as it could have been.

Place is absolutely trash. Overcharging for items because the market makes MSRP not applicable. Your are the only game store in the local area and your so cool about refunding orders of items that went over night then reposting them for the new market price because you are getting ripped off. I hope you close like all other card shops have. Literally charging 3x what MSRP is. And you get it for cheaper than that! I could understand an up charge to keep people from buying you out. But 3x MSRP? Then withholding promos you got for free, to swear youll have an event but then never do you literally are trash.Unless you want to get ripped off as a customer go somewhere else.

Average board games store, average prices, employees have average game knowledge but act like they know what they are talking about. If you have never been to a game store outside of Arkansas, you might be impressed. If you have been anywhere else, you will not. When you own 900 games like we do, it takes a lot to impress us.

I dont know how I found the online store, but Im glad I did. This company has great selection of hard to find products and the ship fast. When I called to ask a question, the staff bent over backwards to answer my question. Love this company.

My wife told me I got to pick one store or place within reason it acted to go to for Fathers day. Last time we went here they were under a remodel and didnt have a whole lot and we were slightly underwhelmed. I decided to come cause I just recently got into painting miniatures and from the second I walked in the door I was just blown away. The selection and items they have is just astounding. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and were even patient with us while we perused the store for some miniatures for my latest campaign while our almost 2 month old son started to get fussy. If youre looking for somewhere for all your tabletop gaming needs, all Ive gotta say is look no further. This is by far the best TTRPG and board game store in the state. Thank you guys for such an awesome experience for my first fathers day, I look forward to being back very soon.

If you are looking for the Premier Little Rock Area Tabletop store look no further. Game goblins has a giant tabletop space. They sell board games, magic the gathering, and 40k esque gear. The staff is knowledge in all things geekdom as well as being friendly and personable. The store regularly sees most tables occupied with any number of activities going on. Highly recommend swinging by and checking it out if you are just traveling through or if you love to the area make this your go to store for all things geekdom

Friendly staff. Head busting prices. $239 for vivid voltage booster box when I can find it at D2 in Jacksonville for $160. Same with Shining Fates. $140 here and I got 2 through D2 for $79 each. Scalping much?

Have always heard good things about Game Goblins from my friends, but went for the first time recently. Such a unique store and hidden gem in Little Rock. Incredibly impressed with the service and atmosphere. I walked in and was immediately greeted and asked what I was looking for. Wasn’t really sure what all I needed for this new game I’m playing with my friends, but they sure did and ensured that I was well equipped and good to go. Then we had a genuine conversation about various tabletop games. We chatted about D&D, MTG, and much more, all of which they were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about.Long story short - Game Goblins is a very fun, unique, and welcoming environment for those that love tabletop gaming. I will definitely be going back.

Terrible experience and will never go back. First off the guy at the counter was very rude to me. The prices are ridiculous and was told it was market value. And the guy proceeded to argue with me and kept saying cool man in a very sarcastic tone. I didnt appreciate the attitude and the sarcastic tone.

Best gaming store in Arkansas. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Clean, inviting atmosphere. Great selection of board games, card games, Warhammer, D&D, and other roleplaying games. Tons of dice, books, miniatures, and other gaming accessories. Also holds decent-sized MTG, Pokémon, and other CCG tournaments, as well as providing a large space with open tables for RPG, board, wargames, and other games in their game room. Highly recommend.

I miss playing FNM here every week with everyone. But back when I could go, those were some of the best nights Ive ever had out of the house. The staff is great and genuinely cares about their customers. Once had a really bad panic attack middle of a match, stepped outside, and two staff members came out to check on me. Made me feel truly appreciated as a customer and as a person overall.

First time to visit, and I was impressed with the ample supply of games and puzzles. They also had a nice selection of miniatures and gaming supplies. Personally, I was looking for tabletop sports games but found no offerings. However, the manager was interested in what I was searching for and said he would look into it.I was highly impressed with the gaming area available, and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

With friendly staff and a nice selection of board games and RPGs, this is easily one of the best tabletop stores in Arkansas. If you like Dungeons and Dragons or any collectible card game, this is the place to go. They also serve a fine a collection of local beers.

Review №41

The store and service are top notch. The game selection is unmatched. They have accessories for loads of games. The reason for the 4 star rating is the magic card singles buying process. The computer only shows their inventory of MTG singles. If the computer showed every card matching your search criteria with something denoting out of stock it would make deck building a lot easier. I understand why they only show their inventory but card knowledge is everything when constructing a viable deck.

I went in to sell some magic cards. They had me go to the back and make sure my cards were on there buy list. I looked thru my cards and added up the total, off of there buy list prices to over $100 easy. After waiting and waiting i ended up having to call the store to have someone come back finally. He took the stack i had added up and went into a back room. I waited about 45min just to have him come back out with a offer of $39. I took it because i needed the money, but what is the point of having me look up the cards on the buy list if your not going to honor your own prices. And he said some of my cards that i just opened were in less then perfect condition. I opend the pack and put them strait in my binder. What a waste of three hrs. Not a very personal experience and way to make a customer feel swindled. I am from Everett washington and have sold and delt with card shops before. This is not how treat customers and false advertising on there buy list. They will not get any further business from me and i have been playing magic since 1996. Card shops i have been to point out in front of you what marks the cards down. Most of my cards were mint except ones from revised.

Hands down best gaming parlor/table top shop in Little Rock.Theres one thing in particular that makes this place great, and lots of things that are tied for a close second.First and foremost, The staff and how they represent the store and themselves is exemplary. The gentlemen and ladies currently employed at Game Goblins should be very proud. They are always polite, always ready to engage (or let you browse in peace), always ready to be...not just proprietors...but ...hosts. Game Goblins is a good store for many reasons. Its great because of the people.The other reasons include the wide selection of games. The many accessories and trinkets. The large amount of space and schedule of events hosted there. Their library of games you can try. And of course....beer. did I mention they have beer?Come to game goblins and be surprised. Discover something new. Make some awesome friends. Have some delicious beer and roll some crits.

My favorite game store. Staff is knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Even when theyre busy, willing to take the time and answer questions about their EXTENSIVE board game selection. A lot of times games stores like this will have board games as an afterthought with Warhammer and Magic being primary drivers. Game Goblins has a real focus and dedication to getting in new and interesting board games. The owner obviously has a passion for gaming and it shows. Store is well lit, open, clean and welcoming. I spend a lot of time here, and would suggest it to anyone. Love Game Goblins, theyre the best.

Pretty comprehensive board and boxed game store. Also they have a great gaming space and allow anyone to come and play on their tables. This really allows for some fun gaming community to build. The best part however is that they have copies of most of their games that are free to try out in their store. You can grab a coke, grab a game, sit down and play with friends, and ask the knowledgable staff about all sorts of games to see which fit your style. Great business model!

As a tabletop enthusiast I can’t express how grateful I am that GG exists in my neighborhood. The staff are generally helpful and ready to engage with their customers at a moment’s notice. Their game demo library is huge and the fact that anyone can come into the store and try some of the big names in games is invaluable to my experience. There are pickup RPGs on the regular, competitive leagues and tournaments weekly, lots of people ready to share the joy that they find in the hobby, it’s just an all around good place to be.

Game Goblins is what all game stores should aspire to be. There is a huge selection of tabletop and miniature games. There is an active gaming community for deck building games, and there is a huge space where you can bring your own games to play or try any copy of an in-store game. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Its an excellent small business that communicates frequently and eagerly with its customers.

I am a new gamer and was looking for a place to start frequenting in the central Arkansas area. Game Goblins is by far the best. They are the cleanest, most friendly and most helpful store I have ever been to. Everyone (players and employees) in the store is incredibly helpful and always willing to answer any question. You can tell everyone in the store is happy to be there doing what they love.

The selection is always changing/evolving. So if youre trying to find something in particular, just ask! They have amazing customer service and will do a special order for you at a discounted rate than what you would find at online gaming stores. Theres always different table tops going on: D&D, warhammer, MtG, whatever suits your fancy. Stick around long enough and you can find a long term gaming group. This is probably one of the better gaming stores in Arkansas, maybe even the best Ive been to in AR.

This. Place. Is. Awesome! I live in Oklahoma, and used to live in Texas, and there are some great gaming stores in Texas. However, none of them that Ive been to so far are as awesome as this place! The staff was super friendly, the prices I thought were competitive, they have an amazing dice selection, a large gaming room in the back with lots of games that you can play and sample at no cost. You dont need any kind of stupid membership to bring your own games and play in the back, which I think is awesome, and lied against the wall of the big gaming room they have models and things people have built for all their different games that are just incredible. I come to Little Rock about once maybe twice a year and I guarantee every time Ill be stopping by this place.

This store is absolutely amazing. When I first went to this store I didnt know what to expect. After watching a friend of mine play a game I decided that I wanted to learn and play also. The entire staff was super friendly and helped me learn the game mechanics quickly. I never felt like I was an outsider or a noob. I have to been to other game shops before, but always seemed that I wasnt welcome because I wasnt a regular. Game Goblins has always made me feel welcome. Their customer service is top notch, but their game selection is absolutely incredible. If you want it, chances are they have it available. I would recommend this to anyone looking fro a game shop.

Best selection of games in the Little Rock area. We go at least once a month, sometimes more often, and there is always something new to check out. The game library is a great way to check out a game before you buy, or even just to kill some time, and the games are all free to play. The snacks and sodas are great, so you can buy those if you want while you play. Game Goblins also has the best sales in town. Make sure to check out their Facebook page for details on any currents sales/events. Weve gotten some great games for great prices, especially when they have weekends where customers can sell their used games.

Review №100

A quaint little game store but small.Okay, my biggest issue with this store is the size of it, or rather the lack thereof. As an avid DnD and D20 gamer, a good store should always have adequate space. Especially in the gaming section. That is something this store lacks. Everything feels confined in this store dye to the small are and it shows. Ive played a few one shot games here and the issue is always the same. If your party is playing with others present, there may be issues. For space youll have to stagger yourself in relation to other groups. If another group gets loud, it will effect you. Usually the staff is quick to say something but that doesnt mean things go unchecked/noticed.As far as the stores selection goes, it is adequate. Meaning they have most everything you are looking for. The staff does a superb job of keeping things clean and neat.I do not recomend campaigning here but I do recommend shopping here.
