Just Games Rochester

So for our 16^th anniversary we decided to go out to a bunch of game stores in the Western New York region. I’d heard of this place through Facebook and so we figured okay, let’s check it out. So the place is pretty open and the staff is pretty nice. We went for table top RPGs and this place has a decent amount of older games and brand new games. We found a few cheap source books for some out of print games, and they are even stocked in a bunch of indie games. So yeah, it’s completely out of the way, but totes worth the trip for us!

My wife and I stopped in here on a road trip to get a game for the hotel. Aside from their huge selection of games and expansions, they have plenty of other accessories you might need (pokeball chain-​dice bag!). The man behind the counter was very polite and helpful, and was able to help us pick out a game that is sure to become one of our favorites. If we’re ever around the area again, we’ll definitely come back.

This is just about as good as your Friendly Local Game Shop gets. I have only been here once, but can’t wait to go back again. Just Games is located in a large strip plaza in Penfield, and can be a bit tricky to find if you’re not familiar with the area (i.e. me). However, once inside, it feels like you’ve left the hustle and bustle of the plaza behind.
The manager (owner?) of the store was super nice and showed me a few things in the store, gave me their normal schedule of events, and made sure to introduce himself and get my name as well. I purchased some sleeves for one of my games and signed up for their free customer rewards program.
As well as having your normal Magic the Gathering cards and supplies, the store boasts a large collection of tabletop games and accessories. Newer titles were on the shelf as well as plenty of expansions and other goodies.
The store itself has a large collection of games that customers are welcome to open up and play while in the shop, and if desired, rented out for a small fee. This was probably the highlight of my visit. I tried out a couple new games and made mental notes of the games I wanted to come back and play/​rent.
Despite living about 75 miles away, I fully plan on taking a trek back out here to join a game night and meet some new people, learn new games, and enjoy what this shop has to offer.
