Arkham Games in Ankeny, IA

I was amazed. I try to shop local as often as I can. My 8 year old son really wanted to get into Pokemon. I know nothing about it. At all. We were greeted by Alexander. We were given time and space to look around. He handed us off to Spencer. Spencer was very kind and informative.

A small selection, but good for it's foot print. The owner is always really accommodating and very helpful. We ended up with a huge group to play with little to no notice and he let us kind of take over a good section of the store to setup. If you need anything he doesn't have, he can order it.

Very welcoming environment. The owner is friendly and attentive. There is a decent variety of new tabletop games, as well as a used consignment section. Owner even offered to order in games that weren’t on the shelf. Accommodating to even the casual board gamer.

Arkham is a must visit for mtg fans in the area! In addition to have a lot of selection for booster packs and precons, they have great prices on their well organized bulk. This store is a great community hub for gaming and had plenty of people playing at their many tables when I visited.
