What makes this store awesome?
Brant says
Huge store with a wide selection of many types of games, a big gaming area, a classic 80s-style video game arcade, and even a console game sale section. One of the best selections of dice sets & singles you’ll find that’s not at a convention.
Most of their wargaming is models & minis, which ties in with their big display of imported Gundam/mecha models. The selection is not just scifi/fantasy skirmish gaming though, as they have a lot of historical minis for tabletop wargaming.
They’ve got an interesting GM program for volunteers who teach/lead games where they earn points the GM’s can redeem for “thank you” prizes; there’s a picture of that display case in the gallery below.
There are also QR codes throughout the store for more information on the games.
Firefly Games has Eurogames as their main product inventory, and also carries minis wargames, big-box “ameritrash” games, tabletop RPGs, collectible card games, general game accessories (dice, game mats, markers, etc), non-game hobby merchandise (RC vehicles, crafts, puzzles, etc). And on the shelves, it’s new games only
For in-store gaming, you’ve got a very big dedicated space for gaming, not including the video arcade.
Snacks for sale? Yes, and surprisingly wide range of them, including hot coffee and soups
Take a look at the store!
