Thank goodness The Printed Meeple survived Covid. My daughter Eliza and I enjoy the Friday Night Magic the Gathering Draft tournaments.My family really enjoys the environment and the staff. Toby is the coolest and knows everyone by name. We can gather for games and chill at the huge padded tables.Highly recommend the family monthly membership that allows us to come and go any time with a liberal guest allowance. Free giant soda fountain is so nice.We reserved the back private room for a birthday party a while back and it turned out super fun!My kids are waiting at the door right now so we can head over and play a game tonight. 😁

Highly recommend this shop to any board game, MTG or PokΓ©mon fans; casual or enthusiasts.Great selection of board games and accessories for purchase. Extensive library of games to play in house while visiting. Citadel paints also found here.Wonderfully friendly atmosphere, staff and crowd. They can 3D print files for a modest fee as well as having house printed items available for purchase (dice towers, life counters, miniatures, etc.).They offer a $20 per month membership in which you can receive 30% off a good selection of their inventory.Extremely clean store with no bad smells (a personal disdain of mine with too many game shops). They even have their own soda fountain!Cant really beat this place for gaming and TCGs; one of the best in its class.

Store has a wide selection of RPG game merchandise and a large playing area.Store also specializes in 3d printing and has a decent 3d printer farm setup at the front area. Prices for printing are decent and include both SLA and resin printing.Visited the store for the first time looking for some info on a few things. Staff and people in the store playing games were all friendly and willing to offer help.Store seems to have a good community of frequent cuatomers.

I was in a crisis. I had purchased and owned a Prusa MK3s and suffered a catastrophic print error.This caused my extruder to partially melt and I did not have any back up parts printed to resolve my issue.After pulling the needed files from the support section of the Prusa site. The Printed Meeple were able to print my files and get me back up and running.Thank you for all of your help!PS the error was my fault as I noticed that I had pinched the wiring for thermistor. Once I replaced that ( go figure I had an extra one of those.) my printer is rock solid and *fingers crossed* not a single print error in the last month!

I have been going to this LGS since before the pandemic and they have been caring and very kind to me and my family. We come on Tuesday nights to play the commander format of Magic the Gathering and the people there are very family friendly. If you become a member you get drinks for free, discounts and you meet new people. 10/10

Great place for board games and general tabletop play. One of the big draws of this place is the *massive* library of board games that you can check out, just like a library. You can play them in the store, or take them home to play later. Just talk with the owners. Another big draw youll see right as you walk in: a rack of 3-D printers you can use. If you need or want help, the owners are proficient in their operation, and are eager to assist. The rates for use are very reasonable as well. Lastly, the store offers a monthly membership, which grants you a discount on most items, and free, unlimited fountain drinks from the store.This store is meant mainly for tabletop gaming, especially board games, but a large Magic crowd shows up most days, especially Tuesdays. D&D groups sometimes gather as well, usually Wednesdays. Fridays and Saturdays are usually mixed gaming. They have good hours, usually being open until 10PM during the week.The location is seated along a well-traveled and well-lit artery of traffic, and has many nearby amenities, including restaurants of all stripes and gas/groceries within a half-mile or so.

Offering 3D printing and a great collection of CCG and table top games. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Most products have a regular price and a member price. The regular pricing is competitive or a little above online stores, but still fair. That said, you cant beat the membership pricing on items for a brick and mortar store. Friendly crowd of regulars who use the generous open space sensibly for social distancing while playing. Excellent variety of games to play, try and enjoy while at the store. At the time of my visit almost everyone was masked and those that werent were plenty far away.

As a board game hobbyist/enthusiast this is THE PLACE to go for your board game needs in San Antonio. The owner is super knowledgable and helpful bc hes also a gamer. My biggest problem was trying to figure out which of all the amazing games on the shelves to pick. I mean they have some hard to find games there. I also appreciated that nothing was marked up to Ebay or Amazon prices Most of the games on the shelves to buy had open games that you could look at or play on the other end of the store (might be a modest rental charge to play them). I cant wait to get back there!

Review β„–20

Incredibly great game store.Lots of D&D miniatures and board games. They sell Citadel Paints but not miniatures.One of the big draws of the store is their 3D printing service. I have my own printer, so I didnt need anything, but their prices are fair. Great ppace to get gifts and trinkets made.My main reason for posting this review, however, is to really give major thanks to the staff for helping me service my 3D Printer. The (presumed) owner, Toby, was very friendly when answering questions and teaching me to break down the parts to clean and take care of them. These guys are the only ones in town who are open to helping folks with their printers, and they didnt ask a cent in return for helping me troubleshoot. Absolute Class A business.

Fantastic gaming store! Besides selling games, the Printed Meeple is a place to get together with friends to play games. The have over 800 board & card games, lots of seating and tables. $5 entrance fee to come play anything you want, and it counts as store credit if you decide to purchase something. Stay & play as long as you want. Price includes unlimited drinks. The Printed Meeple also has several 3D printers, and they create the most fun & amazing things.

If you like table top games, you have to check this place out! They have a huge selection of games for purchase, and a huge selection of games in their demo library as well, with a large area with tables to play in. You can even check games out and take them home for a test run. It’s very cool. A bunch of 3D Printers always running cool stuff too and ready to print what you need. This game shop really has everything I could want, within this hobby. It’s also very clean! The whole shop has a really comfortable and clean feel to it and above everything else, their hospitality and friendliness is top notch. They really make you feel welcome and like family every time you go. They are helpful, informed and you can tell easily that they are not just trying to sell you something. They genuinely try to help you find what you will like. This place and everyone running it gets a huge recommendation from me.

The Printed Meeple is my favorite board game store in San Antonio. The staff and play area are fantastic. They always have a great selection of games for sale as well as a play library that is unmatched by any game store Ive ever been to. Their 3D printing area is great for upgrading my board games but weve also used it to print lots of other great things for around the house. I can easily recommend The Printed Meeple to anyone looking for a great experience.

They have more games than I can count, and are willing to help us learn how to play, and to find games we likely would enjoy. Several times our whole family has made a day of playing at Printed Meeple. They are generous with their attention if you want it, and unlimited sodas!

Constantly updated selection of games, UNPARRALLED selection of demo games, very affordable 3D printing services, and a fountain drink machine. The Printed Meeple is my families go-to for Tabletop games, CCGs and RPG materials. There is a friendly atmosphere and plenty of space to play and test games. For the last few months we have opted to participate in a membership program that allows my family access to massive selection of Demo games (I would guess 300+) to play and rent, discounted prices and even free fountain drinks. We really enjoy our time spent here and will use this as our go-to friendly Local Game Store. The Printed Meeple is owned by a couple of great guys who are very knowledgeable and have a great local business.

This was an amazing visit!! For our first time there it felt like it was the third of fifth. They were super welcoming and they showed us around, explained some of the games and we even got to test the one we were considering to purchase! (Which we did end up buying!) Im really looking forward to our next visit, hopefully is soon. Also, I loved how extra they are with theyre 3D PRINTED INFORMATION CARDS! Just amazing.

Absolutely fantastic game store. The store is super spacious, well lit and the bathroom was spotless. The store game library is expansive with games across all genres and types. The stores staff and owners are exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We had our sons birthday party here, and the parents and kids all had a great time playing at least a dozen different games. Cant recommend this place enough, check it out!

This store is the best game store I’ve been to! If they don’t have it, you can print it! There is a whole array of games to play! Comfortable chairs, great people, unlimited refills, and a family friendly environment.When I think 3D printing, I forget that resin is also a thing. They have a great selection of machines to use, very nice when experimenting on different styles. This is also a great place to go if you are considering getting into 3D printing.Overall this is going to be a place that I frequent often.

Amazing place. Super friendly, helpful & inviting staff. Great place to play with fountain drinks, snacks, 3D printing services, private rooms, membership programs for discounts and the biggest board game library I have seen in a store, rivaling (and even beating) most conventions in size and selection. Just go, first time is free.

Local family-owned businesses in the trade of giving smiles and sharing good memories.Youd be hard-pressed to find a better game shop in all of San Antonio. From a wide selection of board games that you can demo at their tables; weekly events, and 3d printing stations. Theres a something for everyone.

I have been to many gaming stores in my time and I have to say this one is up there with being one of the coolest places to play and learn. Not only do they have plenty of space to host multiple gaming events, they have unique features such as a fountain drink machine with 12 different flavors. Unlimited refills to boot. The owners are very family oriented and were very thoughtful in the design. The bathrooms are spotless and clean. The learning possibilities are endless here as the have a if you can think it, we can make it mentality. You can even make your own custom printed t-shirts! Soon they will install a hotdog machine and then Ill Im not sure anyone will have an excuse to go anywhere else to game. Stop by and check it out, youll find it might be youre new favorite place too.

Not only is a premier environment for tabletop gaming of all types (card, board, or miniatures) with ample space, friendly service, bright lighting, and an impressive demo library, it also contains the facilities to design and print (or just print from their many templates) your own 3D printed game components at a very reasonable price.It really has set a new standard for your friendly neighborhood board game store that is hard to beat.

Some of the nicest owners you will ever meet. They are giant kids who love all types of games. If you ever wanted to try 3D printing they are very knowlagable and can help you find fun things to print. They run a Magic the Gathering league on tuesdays in a very relaxed casual atmosphere. They also have groups for DnD on saturdays (for kids and adults, completely new or years of experience). They have groups playing too many bones, catan, marvel heros, klask, and a ton of other games. They have an in house game library and a selection of games you can buy.
