Game Kastle (Ankeny)

The largest and nicest play area in the area. The events they host for TTRPGS and card games are always well ran. Their sealed products and card cases are usually well stocked and priced well. They also have many bulk boxes for pokemon and magic organized by set. Overall the experience is tailored for players rather than collectors but it is worth a check out if you haven't been.

Employee Rebecca was outstanding. Definitely coming back.

I went here for the first time to pick up some Pokemon sleeves and immediately was greeted by a very kind employee who introduced herself to me by the name of Rebecca. She was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the products in the store. I initially went in with the plan to spend ~$15 but ended up spending ~$100 thanks to her awesome recommendations and I am very happy with the products.

Game Kastle definitely earned a new customer thanks to Rebecca's kindness, character, and ultimately help finding products.

Great staff and opening for gaming. Has or can get about anything your looking for. Growing and expanding everyday.

I love this gaming store. They have a solid selection of single cards and games.

I have to stop by and see what’s new when I’m in the area.

This is my go to place for painting miniatures. The staff is friendly, and there is a dedicated area for us to enjoy our hobby with friends.

Super super kind people. My wife was shopping at an adjacent store that didn’t allow customers to use the restroom. Before I jumped into the car to drive my daughter to anther business with a bathroom, The employee at Game Castle heard me what was going on as I was going to leave and allowed my daughter to use their restroom.

Once inside I noticed that they had some cars games going on. They have a good assortment of different board games as well as cards and card games. I will recommend this place because I know that they are nice people. Anyone who wants to get into card games such as Magic and Pokémon, this place work set you in the right direction. Thank you.

Excellent game store! Solid board game selection, great stock of war gaming supplies (from minis to paints to expansions), as well as lots of stuff for tabletop RPGs like D&D and Pathfinder. The true gem is the play area though! Lots of space and the option to rent private rooms is tough to beat. Very pleased to have them in Ankeny!

What a great place! If you like board games, RPG, miniatures war-gaming or mini painting, do not miss this store. They were friendly, helpful and had an excellent selection of paints, minus and games. Enjoy.

Great store with a good selection of items and a good gaming space that includes plenty of tables and space anf two large, private rooms for a more quiet gaming experience, perfect for D&D.

Went in for my first time tonight (had been meaning to for awhile). They have a good selection of games and competitive prices. They have a small weiner dog that roams the place as well who I enjoyed meeting. I well definitely be going back.

Seems like a really promising store. TONS of boardgames, a bit on the pricey side but I understand lots of these things have set prices. They have game nights it seems and I imagine it will get better as they get more established. They also sell cards, like pokemon and magic, and D&D books, and minis. and the like.

Did a gaming tour of the Ames, Ankeny, and Des Moines area and found this gem of a store. This place was quite immaculate from the fancy bathrooms, to the play space, and beyond. They have quite the supply of nerdom, everything from RPG's, Games Workshop, and a wide variety of board games. Their play space is quite impressive and they have a white board as soon as you come in with the events going on daily. One of the stores I was really curious about turned out to be quite the home run and the staff was great.

Super friendly staff, huge inventory of product 👌

Awesome staff! Came in just to check it out while driving through ankeny. The staff let me know all the cool stuff they have. Probably the nicest local game store I’ve seen ever, the gaming area was awesome they even had separate rooms all decked out and themed to play with your friends I’m guessing. Super legit 🤙🏼

Great store with alot of unique supplies

Amazing customer service and really healthy player base

They had an assortment of awesome games that ranged from all levels of play, and an extensive supply of DND tools for building your setup or characters. Can't wait for covid to end to go there for game nights!

Very clean and organized store with a good selection of boardgames, miniature games, and role playing games. Nice looking play area. Friendly staff.

Creatively decorated rooms for rent for game events, nice selection of games for purchase and a schedule of gaming, so you can meet people (and play) games you are interested in. Love the friendly little dog that welcomes you!

Amazing atmosphere, a decent variety of games, friendly staff, and even a lil weiner dog that loves new people.

It was a great visit and I plan on going back again.
