I will never love another game store again.
Steve provides a welcoming and friendly experience every time you go in. Whether your looking for a 50 cent single or a whole booster box Colony games is the place to go.

Owners of this place are some of the most wonderful people I've met in card games. As a woman, when I go into card shops, it's often a very stressful experience due to bias in the industry; however, this place I feel super at home. Love getting my packs here!! Sad it's shutting down due to covid but can't recommend it highly enough

Love this place!

I'm a teacher who needed a sponsor for a D&D club at my school and the owners were all about helping us out.

We just finished a really enjoyable miniature painting session at the store and my students loved it. Can't wait to do it again.

If you're looking for good hearted people and a solid comic shop, look no further!

What a great little family game shop! They were friendly and helpful. My daughter wants to play Pokemon TCG, but won't share her cards with me. The folks at Colony Games helped me out right away. Definitely going back.

Best retail store I've ever been to. Period. Friendly, knowledgeable and hilarious staff. Prices that are competitive even with online retailers. They always have the product you're looking for. Convenient location near the train and free parking. Plus it's KID FRIENDLY.

For a more detailed review...

I played Magic the Gathering about 20 years ago. 20 years of new cards, different rules and strange strategies that I missed out on. I wanted to play again but was very intimidated. I called The Colony to see if someone like myself could still be a viable player at a Friday Night Magic tournament. I spoke with Steve initially and I've never felt more at ease!

Steve offered his guidance and everyone at the store (customers included) were very friendly and played fairly all while teaching me the new rules. After about a year, I'm still not the best player but I've been known to squeak out a win here and there. I've had so many nights with endless laughs, new friends and fantastic memories. The cards are what initially brought me to The Colony but it's the community that makes me want to come back.

As far as the store itself? Jamie runs an organized, clean and safe store. They have players from 10 years old to 60+. If you have ever wanted to try/come back to table top games/card games there is no better place than The Colony!

Had Excellent service from the young men in the garden department. Was there getting large bricks for a retaining wall and the two young men walked up, asked if I needed help and proceeded to load the flat cart and then put 150 heavy bricks into my truck. Thanks so much gentlemen. Home Depot was well staffed and I had a speedy checkout! Well done
