    Just visited Otherside Games to purchase our starter kit of Magic: The Gathering! Our son and his wife play this and we want to be able to play with them when they visit. We are complete newbies but Alex (the owner) was very patient with us, explaining the basic ins and outs and helping us to choose our cards and pieces. He did not try to up sell us and his pricing was on point with what our kids said they should be. The store is clean, well stocked, and had a nice area for group play with several tables. Definitely recommend and will absolutely return as we build up our MTG set!

    This is a great store, the only shortcoming is the size. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is friendlier still. The selection in Magic singles is a little low but this store is amazing at both sealed product and events. This store also has a great selection in tabletop games and miniatures. They hand promos out like candy.

    Absolutely the best! Great selection of miniature figures and War hammer, D and D and magic the gatherings finest. I found out about this place after the guy at heroic adventure in Edwardsville was hella rude to me at March of the machine ..magic the gathering pre release! I'd now devote my time and $$ to this establishment the store was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Plus the items I bought were reasonably priced...Def recommended

    Pretty solid little gaming store. The owner is very knowledgeable about a lot of tabletop miniatures games, as well as board games. He has tables in the back that you can use without a fee, that are regularly used for warhammer, boardgames or magic. The selection in the store isn't enormous, but he's happy to order up anything you may need. He also does comics, and if you have specific ones he didn't normally carry, he'll order them specifically for your pulls.

    Had an amazing experience with this shop. Went in to do some browsing and Alex the owner was just delightful. He spent some time to talk about models and give advice to a newer player and painter. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my gaming needs in the future!

    A great location and the owner and staff are very knowledgeable about the games and comics that they sell. Also there are several large tables to play games as well as almost nightly activities by several groups that host games and card tournaments. Highly recommended! Still my favorite game store in the St. Louis metro area!

    The definition of a cozy game store. Staff is always excited to answer any questions. Prices for in-demand products like Pokemon cards are sold for a legit, honest price, and not egregiously marked up in effort to make a quick buck. You can tell that this business was created in effort to share love of the tabletop hobby. Please do all you can to support them!
