Yottaquest

Yottaquest is a really nice store games/​cards/​comic shop located in downtown Mt. Healthy. The staff are all really nice and the selection is some of the best in the city. The only criticism I have of the place is their gaming area is really small, the few times I’ve been there for tournaments it has gotten really crowded and I was constantly bumping into people. And if you go in there on a night they are playing Magic the Gathering just forget about finding a table. Obviously they are doing the most they can with what they have but I would love to see more table space.

Nailed it!
Neat little comic and game mom and pop in the heart of downtown Mt. Healthy. I was looking for an older version of Clue (the newer version is dumbed down). I walked in the front door and as I was giving the clerk the olé, «just looking» line and saw it on my right as I walked in the door.
It literally took me two minutes to get what I needed.
The clerk was nice enough, asked a few marketing questions and I was on my way. Before I took off with my prize, I did notice that the Nerd Olympics were being held in a well lit back room.

I’ve visited this shop on several occasions and I am always greeted with cranky older men that are reluctant to help me. They have a good variety of board games, dice, and decent size section for table top games… That said what they sell is overpriced and I’d rather wait and buy my gaming stuff through Amazon or another shop altogether.

This is now my GO TO store for all things card and board games.
If you need a store for board games, RPG, Magic, D&D, etc., come here. Every time I come here, their selection is great, and the staff is very helpful. I am now making this a once-​a-​month (or more) destination.
They have gaming events in their community room, but I haven’t tried one yet.
There’s parking on Hamilton Ave and Compton, but there’s also a lot behind the building.

First off, this is a table top game store, with a small comics section, not the other way around. Just to be clear. That being said, there was a huge selection of games and accessories that I’m sure I’ll be back to peruse more fully. Almost any game you’d be looking for was here. But unfortunately, I was on a trip looking for comic titles and I was mostly disappointed. They have a small selection of trades and collections, and there are almost zero single issues. There was one staff member who immediately asked if I needed any help, but was quick to look back the other way when I said I was new to the shop and wanted to look around.
We’ll see how it goes when I go back specifically for games.

Great selection of board games, RPGs and others. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Got some good presents here!

A solid staple of Mt. Healthy. Very good for the community.
Highly recommended for seasoned gamers or 1^st-​timers.
Very ecclectic body of card, board, and RP games. Reasonable prices and well networked, too (see Facebook, etc.). Very prompt, professional staff. Overall, a model business in an otherwise difficult field, retail notwithstanding.

I had stopped in several gaming stores looking for a couple games and had no luck. To my surprise Yotta Quest had all three of the hard to find games I was looking for. While it’s a bit too far for me to participate in the gaming events I think it’s awesome that they exist. The staff were really helpful and knew their inventory well. If you’re following gps directions here, be aware that it’s taking you to the parking in the rear.

It was originally advertised as a comic/​gaming store. It is my understanding that they are phasing comics out, which is probably a for the best as they really didn’t have any back issues, and seemed to carry the bare minimum new comics on Wednesdays.
I would give this store a 5 star rating if I was basing this solely off the gaming aspect. They are a top notch gaming store, and the only negative I could find was the store was a little cramped. With phasing out comics though, they may be able to add two more tables which would make a world of difference. They are fair, and very accommodating to their gamers. Just don’t go in there for comics.

Great place for card gaming and role playing, but as far as comic books go this is a hit-​or-​miss stop. I know they have recently announced that, as of April 2013, they are beginning to phase out their back issues and new issues as well, so if you want to go there for books go now! I found a few gems that I had not expected to find, but in general there wasn’t much of a stock to pick from. Comics aside, fun atmosphere and great place for local meet-​and-​greets and TCG gaming.

Your friendly local gaming store! Great selection packed in a small, well staffed shop. Owner is a gamer and collector who is not only knowledgable but one heck of a nice guy to boot! Loads of space for gaming, a well maintained online presence and even free demo days and family friendly board game nights. A real oasis for gamers young and old!

I stopped by Yottaquest last December with a board game enthusiast friend. While he was marveling over their amazing selection, I was there to look for board games for a child on an angel tree. I was lucky enough to meet the owner of the store and I explained to him that the child was five years old and had eight siblings, so it was important to me to find a game that could be played by a wide age range and that could handle losing a few pieces and still be functional. The owner was incredibly friendly and knowledgable, taking his time to direct me to a number of games that he personally endorsed and that fit my very narrow criteria. It was a great experience, and I hope I have the chance to go back again soon.

Great selection of games ranging from light play to heavy strategy and even war type games. Really friendly staff and open bright and very good vibes inside. Able to pursue at your own pace which is nice. Found a game that I played at a game convention a few months ago that I had forgotten about so that was a bonus. Would recommend as a stop for any board gamer in the area– I was just visiting bit if I lived in the area I would be back more often!

Yottaquest is quite simply a gamers paradise. If you’re looking for any kind of book-​based RPG such as D&D, any card based CCG like Magic: The Gathering, any kind of miniature based game like Warhammer, any kind of board game ranging from Scrabble to Settlers of Catan, you’ll find it here.
Discovered this place a few years ago when a friend and I decided to give M: TG another try. On top of being one of the best places to pick up any number of games, Yottaquest regularly has sessions where people can play, including regular league play for some of the games and tournaments. They also run the occasional workshop to introduce new games to people that might be interested. Sometimes the shop can get a little cramped, especially during tournaments, but they manage to save room for those there to shop.
Yottaquest also carries comic books — you can set up a buy list with them, but they don’t have the greatest selection compared to a number of other shops in town. They also have a decent back collection as well, though again, not as much as some other shops that specialize in comic books. Definitely check out their website and sign up for their emailer — it gives a regular schedule of events and the occasional $ 5 coupon for anything in the store.
Parking used to be a bit more difficult, but Mt. Healthy opened up a larger public parking lot in the back, and they offer better hours then most game and comic book shops in town. The staff is friendly and very willing to help you out in finding anything you need. It’s definitely worth the visit if you’re a gamer.

I had first heard about Yottaquest from their booth at the Cincy Comics Expo last September, and as a huge fan of tabletop gaming, I had been meaning to go ever since then, but hadn’t quite gotten around to it. Oh, silly me!
Along came Free Comic Book Day (first Saturday in May!), and I discovered that they were one of the few local shops that opens before noon (or 11) on my favorite nerd holiday, so I stopped in.
The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and didn’t make me feel insecure about being a woman walking into a comics/​gaming shop. Nothing turns a girl off from a speciality shop like this quicker than being ignored or condescended to, and this was thankfully not my experience at Yottaquest.
I scored my free Serenity comic, grabbed a game I’d had my eye on since Dragon*con, and a couple of quick-​play games that sounded fun, just to test them out. I am likely to head back soon for one of their gaming nights, and I hope to report back that it was as much fun as the staff makes it sound.
Their games selection is fantastic, with tons of starters and expansions for some of my favorites, like Killer Bunnies and Munchkin, as well as games I’ve not yet explored, like Settlers of Catan, along with a huge list of titles I’ve never even heard of before.

During a frantic quest for a few sets of dice after a few friends and I decided, due to reasons unbeknownst to us, to get a game of D&D going, we ended up at Yottaquest. Although it wasn’t actually our first choice, due to the fact there were a few places closer we checked first, it became apparent after arriving that it should have been.
If you are a fan of any type of table top based RPG gaming, board games, or card games, Yottaquest is for you. This place is a Cincinnati mecca of gaming and has no problem with that. Not only do they have an excellent selection of the aforementioned items, they also had tables set up for people to come in and meet and play games with each other, giving the place a nice sense of nerd community.
What really sold me on Yottaquest however, was their selection of used D&D books from the 3.0 and 3.5 series. Considering this is what my friends and I all played back in the day, it was refreshing to see we could just jump back into and not have to learn all the changes that were made to 4.0. On top of this, they were pretty cheap as well, averaging about $ 10 a piece, for books that originally would have cost $ 30. This, coupled with the fact you could buy a set of dice for about $ 5, made this a much cheaper venture than we thought it would be.
If you are into gaming and in Cincinnati, Yottaquest is hands down my recommendation for you. I think it will be extremely challenging finding anywhere much better than this.

Cool store but more of a Hobby shop than a Comic Book store.

Looking for a D20? How about a Meeple? Killer Bunny more your style?
Regardless of your personal gaming style, you’ll be able to find all your gaming accoutrement at Yottaquest. The employees are friendly, the store is very well stocked, and there are even tables set up to play.
