Super friendly staff, tons of events, huge wall of games you can try out, outstanding selection of tabletop games and accessories, reasonably priced drinks, comfortable play areas (there's 2, and they're both big enough to support a large event without feeling cramped), well ventilated. Are there minor anesthetic changes I would make to give the place a little more character or make it feel slightly more cozy? Sure, but aside from minor personal preferences, you really could not ask for a better game shop.

More reviews on GoogleLarge game shop, wheelchair accessible and family oriented. Can be a touch loud but clean and organized. Lots of seating to play games and participate in events. Free games to try with friends, snacks and drinks for sale. We came for an MTG torment and have no issues, the staff was kind. For me it was awesome to see two clean bathrooms with feminine products, a changing table and lots of space.
A True Community Hub and Gamer's Paradise! (5/5 Stars) I can't say enough good things about Guardian Games!!! It’s easily the best LGS I've visited in the area, and it feels less like a retail shop and more like a true community hub. The staff: backbone of this place—friendly, patient, and genuinely knowledgeable about every corner of gaming. The selection is massive and meticulously organized. I went in for MTG, and whether you're hunting for singles, the latest bundle, or a hard-to-find set, you’ll likely find it here. Beyond the inventory, the dedicated play space is always clean, well-lit, and hosts fantastic, well-organized weekly events. If you're looking for a welcoming place to shop, learn a new game, or finally find a regular playgroup, GUARDIAN GAMES is where you need to be. Highly, highly recommended! *they sell MTG and Pokémon, probably Yu-Gi-Oh & Lorcana... I saw a ton of board games, dice, sleeves, Warhammer ~ they even have food/bar in the store! I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time here today, but I can say with absolute certainty that I will be returning!
Very pleasant, roomy environment. Snacks, drinks, and even beer available. Excellent selection items, especially if you're into board games or CCGs. Nice focused displays dedicated to local designers.
This is hands down the greatest local game store I've ever been to. The selection inside is mind blowing and extremely well organized. They had very rare games that were hard to find even online. The staff was extraordinarily welcoming and helpful giving many recommendations with detailed descriptions of each game and how they work, it was very clear the man I was talking to knew all about board games. I didn't have a chance to play anything from their expansive game wall or magic in their huge playing area. They seemed to also sell alcohol which is a huge bonus for some people. Overall this local game store is jaw dropping and i would recommend going out of your way to check this place out.
