Tower Games: what do users think?

Emerson Maki: Wow! What an amazing store. They have the best selection of Warhammer 40k, AoS, Necromunda, and other games. They also have the best selection of paint and supplies.Not only do they have the goods, but the staff was on another level! One guy, I think the owner, was so helpful in talking with my son and I about everything on the hobby side of 40k. He introduced us to new paints, guides on painting, and was generally very inviting. He welcomed every regular by name who walked in, and set an incredible tone for the store.I will make trips to Minneapolis just to stop here and talk with them again.

Milo: Best local game store in Minneapolis. The workers are kind and attentive, and the sales are great! Love playing games here too. Highly recommend.

Aunt Tassels: Good selection, nice play area, and great staff.

Rey Cavazos: Very nice store people are really polite.

Anthony Bolin: One of the best table top game stores in Minnesota.on road parking is a bit of a pain.

Games by James: what do users think?

Sasha K: Oh my goodness! Josh is FANTASTIC! So patient and knowledgeable about what he’s talking about. He asked me and my partner multiple questions about what games we liked/what we were looking for, gave us plenty of options and thoroughly explained each of them, and made sure we left satisfied! Can’t wait to try our new game “Gloom!” Thank you so much, Josh!

Ann Nielson: Staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable- they make the experience of stopping in fun for me and my daughter.

Micheli Machado: Super helpful attendants. Lots of options for board games, miniatures and the like. It has magic/pokemon cards.

Susie K: Knowledgeable staff and lots of variety.Went in to browse and found a couple fun nerdy games. Also didn't know Arkham Horror was a 1-4 player game and that there is a card game version!

Justin Smith: For those that don't have electricity or simply choose the life of yore - this place has an excellent selection of games and stuff to do during power outages! Really cool and quite retro at this point.

Dre: The manager answered all my questions. Took time to help me. I didn't feel rushed. Felt valued as a customer. I WILL BE BACK

Hunter Angell: From Bayblades to Nostalgix, Sequence to Ticket to Ride, they've got it all.

Jay B: Full of fun, what's not to like?

tyler dahl: Cool place. Way to easy to spend a ton of money.

Micah Mackert: They oughta rename this place Games by SAM, because that dude was so helpful and informative.

Makayla Rhayne: This was the coolest Target Ive ever seen!🤣 We were in awe after walking in- I used self check out with some friends, not too busy but it was around 8 am on a Friday so I'm sure it gets busier.

Zach Wall: Being able to order groceries from an app, drive into their garage for a pickup two hours later, then head home without leaving my car has spoiled me.

B B: I live nearby so this is my neighborhood target.They have good prices on avocados so I come here for those and for hygiene products.That said, the past couple times I have shopped here I have been double charged at checkout.Be sure and check your bank statements because something is wrong with their computer system or something.Otherwise, I like this store.

Ultraviolet: Perfect.

Juan Guemez: I needed the right ink brand for my printer

Mark Ditter: Thankful for a walkable Target! Helps having the very reasonable free parking for spending $20 when needed! I know not easy being a DT Mpls retail business at the moment - but appreciate it!

Level Up Games: what do users think?

Michael Tibstra: Great place for board games and cards!

Laura Heilman: Very diverse selection including comics, manga, video games, ccgs, board games and more. The space is intriguing with many small sectors. The atmosphere is welcoming and the space very clean. Loved what I saw of the play space!

Gwyndolin Sullyvahn: Great little place with good vibes and a good selection of everything from comics to retro video games.

Will P: Such a cool game store! A very cool atmosphere, a good collection of comics and manga, board games, video games, and tons of Magic The Gathering cards. This is the place to go in downtown Minneapolis to make your inner nerd happy!

Emily Ioppolo: Amazing atmosphere and so cozy! This is clearly a neighborhood gathering place. Also had a small but mighty video games section.

Derrick May: Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Forrest Black: Cool little shop below the city streets! Friendly and attentive employees, a cool selection of games and a cool spot to hangout.

Eric Feavel: An awesome shop full of a mix of great thingsTCG, tabletop board games along with video games, comics, and way too many items for my poor wallet lol.

Ben Mcintyre: Great atmosphere and really cool people went in 20min before close with a crowd. Completely interrupted a game. The guy there stayed super helpful and awesome. Will make this a constant stop in the future.

Eriq Duong: This place has everything from board games to card games and video games.

Sam Jacobson: Cool spot downtown, great ambiance and selection of goods. Great for cards, comics, and second hand video games

Josh Schulenberg: Honestly, the two employees I interacted with were some of the nicest game store employees I have ever met. It feels like game/comic book stores always have employees with condescending attitudes, I get how hard it is to deal with people. These employees did not seem judgy or condescending at all, even after they had to get out 4 game discs for me. They were willing to make conversation about magic the gathering and games. Great selection, very well deserved 5 stars.Edit: I forgot to mention the great prices that this store has. The games I bought were for the PS3 and we're between 5-10 dollars.

Wxj Zzzz: So good, i go with my father to buy a fifa 20, the employes are so kind and are good prices

Matthew H.: Great place with every modern game you could want. They even have a section with classic Nintendo games and consoles. Very knowledgeable staff, time disappears when you're in here!

Chess Castle of Minnesota: what do users think?

Noah Stewart: This is the best place to go and play chess in Minnesota! They have prize money tournaments almost every weekend in addition to weekly blitz/rapid/classical events. I have met a lot of great people playing here, not to mention improved my chess dramatically. Check it out if you are interested!

Robert Hines: If you want a place to play chess over the board with a real person, this is the place to do it. Wednesday nights are casual, just come in and play with whoever. Other nights are usually rated tournaments so you'll need to have a USCF membership.

Zach Manning: Great Chess Club, Its located in the lower level of the Southdale Mall below the Food Court, about 20-30 boards set-up with quality weighted pieces. Very welcoming. Players of all levels, and a very relaxed laid back atmosphere.

Johnny Harbieh: Awesome team. I really enjoy visiting there. I try to go once per week. A good mix of experience and beginner games. They do chess tournaments several days a week.

Michael Dietrich: Great place for ALL levels -

S V: kindwe found a bunny in the parking lot we played with it for a while and the return home

Dan H: Great organization. Dan was very welcoming to me as a first-timer and helped get me acclimated. By the end of the night I was playing my first-ever USCF rated games!

XxFaxeGHOSTxX343 t: Friendly people of all ages that welcome chess players, who wish to play chess with players of equal strength. Membership is not required. Games and tournaments are organized frequently. Entry fees for members and nonmembers. My son has attended events held there since he was in 7th grade! He is now a freshmen in college.

Jonathan Santos: Thank you for check mate support and all the winner- allowers out there. Personally I am still new to the group. I don't have a membership yet. So everyone has been very easy going for low income people as myself who want to share such monumental interest and prosperous history. I met one of the guys in charge there, his me is Dan and he does a great performance keep open through the week,especially on Tuesday's mostly every week when chess familerization support is available for all ages and sex genders. I also want to thank everyone else who support such a community opportunity as well as service standard for community excellence support. Hope to see more people feel open and easy about learning chess at chess castle Minnesota. Hopefully we can prevent stale mate support, thank you so much everyone.

Thomas Madappattu: Awesome place to play chess

The Gaming Goat: what do users think?

Christopher Bigalk: Incredibly knowledgeable about games and answered questions with respect. Would recommend going there just to meet the kind employees!

Nick Coleman: and it is a relatively small store.

Anders Olson: Great prices, friendly knowledgeable staff, and for a local game shop I’m really impressed with the breadth of the selection.Their website is a helpful companion as I use it to do my own quick price check. If the price I have to pay for a 20-30% markdown is having to price check my own items, I can live with that every day of the week. Alternatively, you can ask the staff to check prices but after the third consecutive request I resorted to the website so as not to sound like a child on a long car ride.Overall, highly recommend a visit.

Del Schilling: Awesome game store, the owner is very helpful.

Anthony Bolin: One of the best board game selections I've ever seen in Minnesota.I hate that they have no prices on the games.no independent parking lot. I had park far away to get there on a Sunday.

Shaklik: , as many are a minimum of 20% of msrp averaging around 30% off. Additionally, the back has a bunch of items on clearance of 50% or more off, with a gaming room and demo units to play.The bad: open times have been miss 3/4 times I visited, with the store being still closed 30 minutes to even hours after the supposed opening time.Prices are all subject to discretion, which is why you will never see a price tag. Meaning if you want to know how much it is, you'll have to look up every single item. This actually ended up with me not buying some items cause I would look up the price to find its cheaper or the same price elsewhere. But if you want to support local this isn't really a con.There is no "staff" as I've seen, only the owner of the store whom is knowledgeable, talkative, and helpful, but far from welcoming or friendly. Plenty of times I've come in with a "hi, can I help you?" And if you're browsing you're just invisible after that point. I didn't even know there was a clearance section until I asked, and every question I ask makes it seem like a hindrance to answer.The store is well organized for the most part, but still kind of messy. I'm guessing because it's a one man show, on top of the owner most likely being a family man, it's tough to keep clean but it's a little off putting sometimes.Verdict: Despite all of that I recommend the store and rate it 4 stars. Great place to support a local owner and get usually cheaper prices

Sawyer Osborn: Fun place

Ben Beuchler: Great board game selection.

Pestilents: This store is a true gem. Helpful staff. Expertly curated selection of a ton of games. They retail back crowd funding games. Great prices, lower than MSRP. Keep up the great business model

Niko S: awesome place! friendly stuff. I came here to play D&D. They got a list of emails, where you put your own and when they will plan a game - you'll receive a notification

Mikayla Gabel: Love this place! Great for D&D and always great suggestions on board games.

Sean Kelley: Great game shop, and awesome staff!!!

Ryan Johnson: .

Jeannette Baisch: is a great local game shop! The staff are always very friendly and knowledgeable about the various more "nerdy" games like Magic and D&D, etc., but they also have a nice, pretty wide selection of boardgames for board-gamers of all varieties and levels.I like board games with about the level of difficulty of Ticket to Ride, and Red 6 seems to have a lot of things on that level, and also things that are both more and less intense. They also have a good selection of interesting-looking social games, which I also like. You don't have to be all about the "strategerie" to find something to enjoy here, which I really appreciate.Their prices are cheaper than The Source, though one thing that kind of annoys me is that I don't think they don't put prices on the items, so you have to ask.Also, they have an area for playing games in the back, but it's not big. It's cute and cozy.Update: Still good.

Van: Secondhand models available, good selection of new merchandise. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable.
