Amazing experience!
Gary was amazing easy a smooth transaction.
Took a few of my old and modern cards in to sell which was either doubles or just ones looking to let go and he made my experience amazing!
All staff friendly and chatty even had a customer Y Y come and chat and look at my cards 100% going back and can’t wait to take my daughter

Stopped by the store yesterday to trade in some old Yu-Gi-Oh singles staff was awesome, and the person who helped me out was super chill and respectful. They’ve also got a solid selection of TCGs, and the community there was really cool too. I’ll be back for sure.

Busy Day at Gamers Lodge

Very enjoyable pre-release day. Attended with a junior player and everyone was very helpful and friendly with him. even though he is still learning. Would highly reccomend Gamers lodge venue. Its getting so busy some days we struggle to find a seat to sit out a game. Good to see owners are doing all the can to open up more space for us all.
