The Geek Home is the perfect place for anyone geeky. The shop offers anything from models, action figures and plushies to board games, trading cards and comics.The staff is friendly and quick to help if you are looking for something or have questions. The Geek Home also hosts game days.We had a great time browsing through the huge board game selection!Follow @heloisetravels for more reviews and photos.

The Geek home is an amazing boardgame shop. It has a wide collection of boardgames and you can spend hours looking through the shelves.This is an owner manahed store and the owner has a great amount of knowledge about different types of boardgames. You can sense his passion for the subject. Also ask them about their gaming days, which is currently closed due to Covid-19, but is soon expected to reopen.

My children buy their fantasy game cards, card sleeves and other accessories at this store. I am not a gaming person, so my knowledge of games is limited. However, you can get accessories for Monopoly, Pokemon, Magic - The Gathering, etc. Give them a call to find out if your gaming needs will be met.

I have received great service from both online orders and in-store purchases. They offer items at affordable prices and regularly get in new stock. Can highly recommend them!

Living life the retro way, you need to visit a place like this to get a feel of what things used to be back then, I would recommend this to serious geeks. So great.

Excellent service! My deliver was messed up because of the Couriers terrible addressing system but they managed to fix it for me on the same day and got my paints delivered with my models on the same day! great service at a great price. Highly recommended for your hobbies. Sadly they are pretty short on stock.

Perfect place for anyone geeky. They host game evenings a few times a week too. There is plenty comic memorabilia too. Website has everything you need, so check that out first too. They also deliver nationwide. Prices are reasonable, and probably better than some of the bigger comic stores. Youll love it..

Shop is one of the last remaining comic and Geek hobbie stores of quality. The staff are friendly and helpful and the store showcases a lot of your favorite DnD accessories as well as other hobbie/collectable like MTG cards and tournaments.

Review №12

Helpful and knowledgeable staff, there seem to be more board games on the shelves than comics but I suppose that might just be due to consumer preferences. These days I mostly go to stock up on model/miniature paints of which they have a substantial selection.

Its a good store with good people, we visited for the strixhaven prerelease and it was a well organised event. The store itself is well stocked, well lit, and wel positioned within the centre. They stock a greater variety of games, TCG, Fandom and merch. A great store to support!

Had most of what I was looking for including sound advice. Good place. Just dont bother the guy who works there on week days, he doesnt react well to being disturbed by customers, he wont say Hello or goodbye and will ignore you when you speak to him while he is on his computer.

Great selection of board games. Prices are a bit high however it is understandable considering the amount of stock they have to keep.What is also awesome is the fact that you can rent a board game and play it there. Great idea as you get to sort of try before you buy.Cannot wait to go back

Terrible service. The guy in the shop acts like its a huge inconvenience that there are customers in the store. Dont bother asking anything as he seems more interested in clicking away on his laptop and will probably give you a snarky answer anyway.Wont bother going back. Way better service and customer experience elsewhere.

Review №56

Bought Star Wars Rebellion from them in November 2018 which had a missing piece. Reported it the next day and was told no replacement game available, but replacement piece can be ordered. Followed up 4 weeks later about progress only to be told I need to send them a photo of the missing piece but no initiative from them to inform me to do so in 4 weeks. Since then made numerous phone calls and in store check-ups on progress all coming down to they will follow up and get back to me, which never once happened. It is May 2019 and it seems if the staff and owner could simply not be bothered to sort this out. Would not buy a single sleeve, let alone a R1900 game from Geek Home or Outer Limits.

I recently ordered a few GW kits and some paints from them online. Halfway through waiting for the delivery, (70% items on backorder), I realised i had forgotten to order a specific paint i need but it wasnt in stock on the site so i called to ask how to possibly arrange its inclusion in my order - was told they would let me know if the paint in question arrived with the shipment as soon as customs released it.My package arrived a few days later with the paint in question thrown in for free. A nice little touch, much appreciated :)Will definitely be shopping here again.
