We had such a good experience here!! I’m new to Pokémon cards and my partner knows a lot about and we both had such a fun time talking to the owner. Really solid vibes and knowledgeable and accepting staff. Would recommend!!!

Awesome local shop that I love to visit!
I go there for MTG (Magic The Gathering), but I see a LOT there. Pokemon, Lorecana, and any board game I could ask for.

This is the only local card shop in the area, and I'm always happy to take my business here. Bonus, my young kids love coming with me & picking out new dice each time.

Since COVID — it's a shame that there aren't as many game nights etc for Magic, I wish I'd heard of the shop pre-pandemic. But that just makes it all the more important to me to support a local shop over big box.

Thank you for helping my grandmother looking for protective sleeves to protect parts of our family history! I am thankful to have your business as part of our community.

I took my son for the first time today. I was so impressed with the owner and his shop. My son is looking for specific cards for his beginner collection and the owner was kind and knowledgeable. He took his time and explained things to us. It was a great experience for us.
Can't wait to come again!!

I brought my son in for a 3rd time last night. I can't say enough about the owner. He takes such time with his clients. Answering questions about pokemon. And -- Let's face it -- I know nothing about Pokemon. My son is 5.5 years old and just getting interested in Pokemon. He is collecting all the original cards.
The owner helped us find what we were looking for and even made my son feel extra special.
I love places like this and people like him who take their time to get to know their customers. This is how repeat customers are made. I feel so good knowing that I can stop in and ask what seems to me like silly questions, but he takes me seriously. He made our night.
My son was so happy to have finally found a regular Bulbasaur card that he giggled all the way home and then ran into my house screaming to my husband about his new cards and how cool they are!
He made a huge difference just by being kind.
Thank you. See you next time!

Had a great selection of Pokemon singles, the owner was very helpful in letting me see whatever I wanted. Also let me flip through thousands of odds and ends in a box to find missing cards from my sets. Very reasonable prices and overall just a nice experience. Will be coming back to support, thanks again.

Spouse and I are new to trading cards - he's into Pokémon and I'm just following along, lol. An employee (I'm actually assuming it is the owner) was there and was happy to answer any questions we had. He was very honest and not trying to push a sale. We had a very positive experience here. 👍

Incredible first experience. Was nervous walking in, because I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Michael (who I believe is the owner) took the time to walk me through being a confused lay-person to leaving as HERO UNCLE! I could not recommend this place more and will definitely be revisiting in the very near future! Thank you for your time, patience and generosity!

Everyone there is so friendly I went in to sell some cards and we talked for a while about them and it was really fun it felt very homey and nice in there. Also while the products are not retail price you need to understand that when they are bought a profit needs to be made especially if they are bought for higher than retail value. Y'all need to realize this isn't retail it's reselling. Anyways love this place and the employees y'all are awesome

Great place for board games, magic cards, pokemon cards etc. The staff is very friendly and Michael is running a great store! Got some great recommendations from him in regards to trying different board games and he hasn’t steered us wrong! Give AFG a shot you won’t be disappointed!

Great place if you looking to do events for Magic the Gathering. Friday at 7pm you got standard magic tourneys, Sunday you got drafts at 1pm and 5:30pm. Also Thursdays Pauper at 7pm, something a lot of stores don't have but should. Also really good prices on single cards. Been enjoying my visit and experiance everyday especially since recently I got back into magic and needed help catching up to today's standards.

My favorite game store, it's always clean, the staff are friendly, and the selection is extraordinary! Whether you're coming for draft, FM, arena, board game night, or more...they have it all!

They've got the finest goods, the lowest prices, and Mary a fancy illustration, just the goods, fair and plain.

I don't get to stop in as often since I moved out of the area. I still make the trip if I need singles or want to trade . I have yet to find a shop that compares. This place has a very welcoming atmosphere from the owners and employees down to the people who hang out there to play. Always happy to give these guys my money.

What a great selection! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. They even offer a game counseling service to help you figure out how to play games with confusing instructions. I can't wait to check out their weekly game nights every Thursday at 7.

Visited on my lunch break and received some great help and advice.

I'm not a die-hard gamer so wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived, but was immediately offered assistance and some expert advice on which games to buy for a family get together we were having.

Will definitely return in the future, many thanks.

Amazing card shop. Everyone who works there is super knowledgeable and they definitely aren't the type of people to try and pull something over on you. A lot of the time you can even get cards for below market value. Love this place 10/10!

Wow where do I even begin with the epic time I had at the m19 pre release. Everything was a gaming moment and there were lots of cards, Obama would have been so proud. If you're a gamer and like gaming, especially gathering for magic, come on down and play your cards at affinity because I had a good time and it was an epic win. Incredible.
