Joshua M.: Best and most friendly game store in the triangle!

Joe Radosevich: Cute store with something for every physical gamer (not much for video games, more board and card games, minis, etc.). Plenty of room for playing in the back. Friendly staff.

Mick Thomas: We play D&D at Gamer's Armory weekly. Great vibe, super friendly staff. Relatively minimal selection of minis but you can order through them.

Brett: Friendly Local Game Store. 40k, Magic and Infinity communities. Nice rewards program as well.

Passive Zealot: Very friendly, will definitely be back!

James Foster: Great local gaming store. Person working Sunday afternoon shift was really kind, and she let my daughter choose her own set of dice from the random assortment directly, talking out the color choices.

Wes Swain: Super friendly group of folks that operate this store! Very competitive prices for games and accessories with plenty of room inside to plop down with a game from their community library and play for Free! Definitely give these guys your business! 👍

Christopher Brown: Stopped in today, from Rhode Island! (Visiting Family in Cary).Great spot for any size gaming. They have events and a great selection of paint supplies and figures. (D&D). The guys there were really friendly and helpful!! More than just D &D BTW.

Jonathan Fay: Great place to find all your games, they order anything at competitive prices, some rare out of print finds too. I was a novice but joined their Marvel Champions league and the staff makes you feel so welcome, no matter your skill level.

Sheri Chen: Wonderful shop to find all your D&D , nerdie things. Shop keep was nice and knowledgeable. Good prices! No trolls or man eating warpletingers. 😜

shalenar: Please inform your employees to verify inventory before blurting out answers. Called and the employee answered within .5 seconds and said yes. 20+ minute drive later I was told they were actually sold out because he misunderstood what I said somehow. I canceled my Amazon order so I could purchase locally, even tho it's already cheaper to purchase online. Long time customer and it's sad that not only did I waste the gas to come out to you, but it was like they didn't care, they had their magic game to attend to and couldn't be bothered to address a problem they caused.

Dave C: A fun place to spend time with friends and family.

Greg Davies: Great staff and selectoin

Grace Wells: This is a cute little place on the second floor above Wasabi with lots of board games to play. It's $10 for a table and then you get to play games as much as you like. It's not too loud and everyone was extremely respectful of other tables. We didn't get to try the food, but they do serve dinner after 5pm.

Marcus: Fun place

Lance Shrader: Now know as gamers geekery. Very cool hang out.

Aaron Leininger: I enjoy the food and the gaming atmosphere and the drink selection.

Matthew Lambert: I visited ECG for the first time yesterday and I had a good experience. My family and I love board games so we decided to give it a go and we had fun. I have mixed emotions on this place being family friendly that have young children as they do serve alcohol but it is what it is. My son (8 years old) and I also play Pokemon and we were hoping to find some sealed Pokemon products here. They are definitely geared more toward MTG players as they have lots of sealed MTG products but very minimal Pokemon stuff. They have some deck boxes and Dragon Shield sleeves on the shelf also. They have a great selection of board games though. Good amount of seating and friendly staff. I would definitely go back again. Masks were NOT enforced when we visited which was a huge plus in my book.

Ryan Curtis: If you are looking for a place to stock up on supplies its not the best location, but there is plenty of seating and tables for actually playing games. At the time I visited masks were still required if that is a problem for you.

Mike Manganillo: Cool concept and fun place to hang out with the family’s

Patrick Williams: Step above typical lfgs.

Scott Christie: This place is awesome! The staff who served me were super friendly, the drink and food items were interesting and varied, and the venue is huge! They had games for rent and sale, and private rooms to rent. I can't wait to come back here with friends.

T L: This is the quintessential local game shop. They have an amazing collection of board games and I always get my MTG from them. They are a store worth supporting and a great asset to the community.

Max Dancik: 👍

Chazel - (Chadlerz): Beers on tap. Very nice, clean place. Staff are great;)

Cody Briggs: We have a DnD group that meets on Fridays. When looking for a place that was conveniently located for all our work that also had food and drinks, ECG was the best choice in the area. The food is consistently good and quick, and there is always a good variety of beers and meads. The space is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Would recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing place to play some games or try out something new

Payton Gragg (ImagineGreater): New location is absolutely amazing! Fantastic restaurant quality food, great drinks, and the perfect rustic aesthetic for table top gaming.

Aaron Eady: This place is great. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Kristen set us up with some beginner games, taught us how to play, and let us go on our own. It was awesome. Definitely coming back.

Peter Larsen: A nice new board game bar with a wide selection, tons of beer options, and weekly specials

Kirk Adams: New name though.

Bas Pluim: Great atmosphere and super friendly staff

Mike S.: I've had 2 great experiences renting games from Carolina Gamerooms. Ryan and Brandon are great to work with. Always do what they say they are going to do, very prompt with delivery and pick-up and just make the whole experience very pleasant and easy. Covid has kept us at home for much of the last year but with a large garage, we have been able to have a couple of great weekends of fun with family and stayed safe while doing it. Can't wait to plan another fun weekend with Carolina Gamerooms.

Teresa Thurston: Brandon and Ryan installed a shuffleboard table in my bonus room. They were very punctual and friendly. They made sure they knew exactly where I wanted the table (aligned with the pool table light) and it was positioned perfectly. The final product was beautiful and they took the time to help me understand how to spray and apply “sand” to prepare the top for play. They also guided me through proper cleaning and maintenance. I was thoroughly impressed with their personal approach to ensuring I was not only satisfied with the table installation, but comfortable with all the features as well as proper use and maintenance. They were also very quiet, which was much appreciated as I was on work calls during the installation. I would highly recommend Carolina Gamerooms to anyone seeking services that they offer.

Mike Carone: Brandon and Ryan were awesome to work with on my pool table breakdown and reinstall as I was having new flooring installed. Their main focus was always on doing the job right and they took great care breaking it down and storing it, ensuring that the table would not be damaged in any way until the reinstall took place. For the reinstall, they spent so much time leveling it perfectly that they must have mistook me for some type of professional billiards player (far from it!). They even spent extra time making sure it was perfectly centered in the room. The attention to detail was great. On top of that, they were very competitive with their pricing for the whole job. I would highly recommend Carolina Gamerooms to anyone in the marked for a new pool table or anyone in need of maintenance for their existing pool table. Thank you!

Caroline Pence: We rented a foosball table for the weekend and the whole experience exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend Carolina Gamerooms.

Shawn Mizell: From start to finish this was an easy transaction with excellent communication. Ryan and Brandon pulled some serious heroics to meet the birthday deadline and I truly appreciate it. If you ever need a new item for your gameroom, these are the folks to talk to.

Archie Glaspy: Well, the fellas did it again. 1st class service installing a new pinball machine in my game room. High touch, high quality.

Anthony Thomas: I've worked with Carolina Gamerooms a couple of times now, most recently I rented an Addams Family pinball from them for my wedding as well as hired them to transport a couple of my own games to the wedding venue. They're incredibly easy to work with and super accommodating to any schedule.Their pricing is also incredibly reasonable and their communication is top notch! I'll definitely be working with them again.

Mary Plourde: I recently went to North Hills location with my 1-year-old daughter, and we had a great time browsing the selection. We found a few new toys and books that she’s been exploring and loving. The staff there was so friendly and helpful.I also appreciate that the store offers a variety of educational toys that are designed to promote social-emotional learning, problem-solving skills, and creativity. These are all important skills that I want my daughter to develop, and I'm glad that I can find toys that will help her learn in a fun and engaging way.

Ashley Galliher: Great place to find squishmellers

Rusty Shackelford: They have so many jellycats toys! My baby son loves them and had such fun picking out some new ones. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Great experience!

Galatic Cat: Fantastic, fun place to be!

Rebecca Slater: I’ve been here a few times through the years. It’s always been “good”, went back today and it’s “WOW”. Maybe they are under new management- it’s no longer a store but a destination, a true experience. Like the sign at the door says, step into fun and nostalgia. I keep thinking about how fun this place was to walk around in! Very helpful employees that are just as excited about this experience. I have never known about a line of stuffed animal called Jellycat before- this was a showstopper. I just stood and stared - toys as art!Their rewards program is just a marketing program- no “reward”, but I’m not dinging them for it.Can’t wait to visit the other locations to see if they have all been reinvented. The feeling this place gives you is addictive! Serotonin high!!

Zoe Miller: Awesome place!! I love the staff, and the products here! The stickers are adorable and it has changed a lot over time. It's somewhat calming in there now. In the past there were kids on scooters running around the shop and stuff, now I don't see why, but it seems like less kids come here, rather, the parents getting them gifts. I do love going here though!!

Randy Spain: Creative ideas for children of all ages!

Dan Radez: Great selection and free gift wrapping! Seems like we can always find a good gift at Learning Express for any age.

Amelia Shaw: Learning Express is one of my favorite stores to go to with my kids. We moved here about three years ago and were looking for a particular game and a couple of birthday presents and wanted something unique and super fun. They have so many great products- and such a great variety!I remember walking in the first time and it was a little overwhelming and hard to find things. It didn’t really make sense in how it was set up, but I noticed that the last few times I walked in that the store felt “organized” and it was so much easier to navigate! There were lots of little additions that made it more fun to explore the store. It was more inviting, engaging, and somehow warmer. The staff were all super helpful and honestly seemed like they cared that we found toys that suited each individual kid.The biggest issue now is that we spend about 3x the amount of time when we visit and end up walking out with a lot more stuff! Especially the Jellycat area- it’s probably where all three of my kids come together and spend the most time. I’d complain, except it’s awesome that my kids (11-15 years old) all find things that are engaging and bring us together as a family. Playing and laughing together is exactly what we need! Keep doing whatever you are doing!
