Game Goblins

Great local game store. GG compares to stores found in bigger cities. Cannot say enough good things about the staff. They have never talked down to me despite my multitude of questions. I am not a hard core gamer by any means. The space is very inviting not cramped like some stores. The gaming area is quite large.

Yeah, I’m a nerd — a big nerd, as it turns out. And while that can be a little embarrassing to share with folks who aren’t into that sort of thing, it’s a shame to hide it :)
So! Game Goblins is a store dedicated, devoted, and gleefully proud of board games. From Settlers of Catan (and the myriad expansions) through Magic the Gathering, X-​wing, and all the way on up to the super, fiendishly complex, works of art that are Warhammer, Warmachine, and Infinity (seriously, image search «Golden Demon warhammer models»)
If you’re already into those games, you know what I’m talking about! If not, then why not learn?
This store gets a particular nod (and high rating) because of their community. The staff members are all avid gamers, the shop itself has a rack of «tester» games that’s huge and full to bursting with games folks can sit down and play in-​shop, if they want to try before they buy. But also, there are regular events, club meet-​ups, tournaments/​leagues and social media pages dedicated to helping gamers find each other and schedule games around our busy, mostly adult, lives.
As a patron of many, many, game shops over the years, I’m really impressed with GG — their dedication, their enthusiasm, their product selection, and the thriving (and I mean thriving) community of gamers who frequent the shop.
Very cool for old hat gamers, and a pretty awesome place for kids, folks looking for party games, and anyone curious to check out the countless new board games flowing freely in our current board game Golden Age.
**Be warned that although there’s a good sized parking lot, it’s often very crowded right next to the shop, and can make for a bit of a walk to get to the door.

This is, to be succinct, a great store. Their location is great, the space is bright and welcoming, they have a tremendous selection, the gaming room is vast and simultaneously accommodates many groups doing different things (Magic the Gathering tournaments, board games, miniatures), and their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I’m not a hard-​core gamer myself, but I never feel like I’m out of place at Game Goblins. Extra marks for their customer service, which is stellar. Find them on Facebook and be amazed at how quickly they respond to your smallest question. These folks are doing it right.

As I have said before it doesn’t take much to get 5 stars for a game store from me but Game Goblins does not slouch. A little cramped but full of good people and selection or board games, card games and minatures pack the room wall to wall.
As interactive as I am in the Magic: the Gathering community, Game Goblins shines here head and shoulders above the rest. Interactive, lots of events, a selection of singles that rivals many stores twice their size and its clean!
The best news I have heard in a while they are moving to a larger location! OK well its larger but they are going to be in the second shopping center.
Also: added bonus of Game Goblins is that there is a Mexican restaurant and a subway within walking distance. Great for those marathon magic sessions with prize on the line.

This is a really neat FLGS. They are well stocked with board games and have a sizable demo library and public play space. Terrain tables are available for Warhammer/​minis players as well. They also have a great stock of Games Workshop.
The store is neat and well organized, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I asked about a couple of board/​card games and got a great little lecture on the basic rules and mechanics.
They also actively promote a gaming community with events every night — D&D league play, Friday Night Magic, Warhammer skirmishes and more. The whiteboard calendar was only empty for Christmas and New Years it looked. They have a lot going on.
Another nice touch is the refreshments available. It’s a small thing but when you sit down for a night nor board games it’s nice to be able to grab a coke zero or something.
From what I’ve seen this is the go to store for gaming in the Little Rock area.
