What makes this store awesome?
Scott says
Friendly community and the brothers that run the store are awesome to help find games and groups. They are quick to know everyone who comes in on a first-name basis.
GameStorm has other as their main product inventory, and also carries board wargames, minis wargames, Eurogames, big-box “ameritrash” games, tabletop RPGs, non-wargame minis (fantasy and/or space), collectible card games, general game accessories (dice, game mats, markers, etc), minis accessories (terrain, paint, etc). And on the shelves, it’s new games only
