Continuing our spotlight series on the Friendly Local (War)Game Stores around the US & Canada
Squirrels Nest Games is located in Conway, SC.
In our key ratings for the FLGS directory, Squirrels Nest Games scores
- 3 – Wargame Friendliness
- 3 – Wargame Inventory On-Hand
- 3 – Wargaming Event Frequency
This is a 1-7 scale, where higher numbers are better; see bottom of article for details
These scores are largely based on Warhammer as their primary foray into wargaming; if you’re looking for board wargames, this is not your store.
They only have TCG cards and supplies available for sale via their TCGplayer website.
What makes this store awesome?
Bill says:
Nice open play space – generally no fee except for large events (think Magic: The Gathering)
Nice selection of Warhammer, including free loaner armiesWarhammer play every Monday evening
Friendly staff
Squirrels Nest Games has TCGs (mainly Magic: The Gathering, but also Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!) and Warhammer as their main product inventory, as well as general game accessories (dice, game mats, markers, etc.) and minis accessories (terrain, paint, etc.). They do not carry boardwargames and there are no used games for sale.
There are roughly 8 tables available for open play when events aren’t in progress.
Drinks and light snacks are available to buy.
