Twenty Sided Store

Stay away from this place mtg players you are not welcome anymore that’s why they lost my business this place soon to go out of business.

Super cool gaming store. It’s not the biggest, but they’ve got a good selection of all the classics, including more expansion versions of Settlers than you can shake a stick at. Of course, they also have Magic cards, other board games, limited edition special versions of games, and a ton of accessories. There’s a tiny table by the front where you can play things. Staff is friendly too!

My nephew went in there and bought a game for –double– the price of the –retail– price. When I called about this, they basically made it impossible to return it. The person I spoke to gave me the excuse that they are a ‘local business’… excuse me, but you are one of many brats around here that kicked out the original businesses, there are hardly any ‘local’ places left and I’m so tired of hearing that.

My girlfriend and I just had dinner at EMMY squared and just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, THIS amazing spot happened to be right next door!
We walked by and saw a whole bunch of cool things from the outside, and as soon as we walked in, we were stuck lol.
They’ve got all sorts of board games, I can’t even describe how much of a variety they have. They also sell little knick knacks, wacky versions of office supplies, gaming cards, and I believe you can even play some of the board games in-​house.
The cashier was very knowledgable about everything! She mentioned that her specialty was board games so if we had any questions about anything, she would know. Moments later, we found multiple expansion packs for one of our favorite board games, «Pandemic» which had about 4 expansions.
I gotta tell you, she was not joking about board games being her specialty! She described each expansion pack so well we ended up getting one of them lol. My girlfriend also purchased some cool zodiac cards for a friend, and I ended up buying a cool 4-​in-​1 (screwdriver, ruler, balance,) pen and a journal that I’ve used every day since the purchase.
Definitely a cool spot to check out!

Coolest store evaaaar!
Randomly stumbled upon this place after having dinner next door (which was great btw). They have a HUGE selection of games. It’s a little overwhelming, but one their employees was great at explaining the different games and giving recommendations. Aside from games, they have snacks, drinks, supplies to make your own game, and some other interesting items — a pac man color-​changing mug, comic book style post it’s and 4 in 1 pens just to name a few.

Jenga and Catch Phrase are usually the extent of my game knowledge, but even a amateur like me can appreciate this awesome game store. It’s at the end of a dead end street on Grand so you have to go out of your way a bit to find it, but you won’t be sorry!
From board games to card games to super complicated looking role playing type games, this place has it all. There was an awesome dude with long flowing hair who seemed to know everything about every game in there. We told them what we were looking for and he gave us a bunch of great options.
I noticed that they have a little back room for people to reserve to play their games. I thought that was really cute, so community focused!
We ended up with this weird board game called Time Stories which was way over my head even when setting up the board, but hey — we wanted to try something new and that’s what it was! I hope this store stays around and keeps its charming ways forever!

As a self-​professed geek, I lob this store! I’m always ready to get my game on, and 20 Sided always has what I need to stay gaming. From D&D to complicated German games, they have it all, and I’ll Unilocal that from the mountaintops any day!

Took a motorcycle ride to this place over the summer and was pleasantly surprised. Great selection and the staff was really helpful. Wish I lived closer.

Fantastic store w/​so much selection packed into a cozy space. The staff is intensely helpful and super friendly, and are more than happy to answer questions and offer game suggestions, and even talk you through each game you ask about.
Such a great find!

OHMARGAAWD I LOVE THIS PLACE!
Stopped here to buy a gift, spent two hours checking the selection of games, eating snacks, watching people go at it with board games at the rentable tables.
This place has a large selection of card games, board games, dice selection, collectables, gifts, rare cards, anything your mind can think of game wise.
There is a mini café for snacks and drinks. The selection is small, but that’s fine though so you can keep your hands tidy for playing.
There are also tables in the back for games that you can sign up for and invite a large group of friends. It’s an interesting concept, and had a large number of people waiting in the wings to play.
Very friendly staff that is easy to talk to about gifts, old games, and yet to be released games.

Whether or not you end up buying a game, you’ll have a fun experience in this store because there’s a lot to see and learn, and the kind people who work here will genuinely spend the time with you to go over suggestions and game play. They stock games for kids and adults, and they seem to have a lot of options from games that everyone knows about and you can easily buy anywhere (i.e. Scattegories, Catan), to lesser known games, unique ones that are geared towards avid gamers (i.e. Machi Koro?) If you’re into Flux, they have like, 7 different versions of that game. The store also has a private area if you want to host a party, which is great for kids or, mega nerds (!)
So, we ended up buying two games that were recommended by one of the employees, or as I’d like to call them ‘gaming sommeliers’ — he was So friendly, and helpful, and really knew a lot about the several games that he suggested, or ones that I asked about out of interest as I perused their inventory. If you go there, I’d definitely speak to him (didn’t catch his name, but he’s got really long hair!).
Also, rumor has it that, there is an undeniably wretched B.O. stench wafting in the atmosphere, but due to my current, unabated sinus issue and allergy, I wasn’t able to pick up any foul odors. Yay, me! (Listen, I’m sure the place doesn’t smell bad at all, until you breach the private area and you enter the pit of magic the gathering players doing their thing in the apex of summer, with a broken A/​C situation).

A small shop located in a rather isolated part of Williamsburg. Only found it by chance when I was walking to Marcy Ave train station.
The shop is relatively small and there is a decent amount of people that frequent it. Upon walking in, I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any help. Appreciate that!
They sell all types of game boards, game pieces, and games in general. A great place to pick up a fun game as a gift or to play with friends.

Best game store in the city. Their selection of RPG books (which all I’m looking for out the store) is small but very well-​curated, with a good variety of usually hard-​to-​find indie RPGs alongside the standard D&D and Pathfinder fare. Staff are extremely friendly.
Update: Recently the staff have been weirdly pushy about trying to help when I just want browse quietly. It’s made me uncomfortable enough that I have left without buying anything a couple of times. That plus a recent bad experience when trying to return a defective book have made me knock this down to a 4.

They have lots of great games and a knowledgeable and helpful staff, even if their D&D section isn’t all that huge. They cater to gamers of all kinds and their prices aren’t outrageous. The staff is always ready to help you and answer questions and they seem to have a great community of game lovers that come in regularly. If you like to get your game on, definitely check out the Twenty Sided Store.

Great little store with tons to offer. It reminds me of the Tardis. So much bigger on the inside if you take the time to notice. Knowledgeable and friendly staff that are very engaging and excited about what they do. They have talked us into buying several games we didn’t even know we needed and they’ve been right each time. This is coming from an utter spendthrift so you can imagine the skills these players have.

If fantastically fun and friendly store. It had a great selection of board games and other games. And there are folks in the back playing magic. The staff extremely helpful and even tried to magic.

Went in looking for World of Darkness books. Found a bunch of kids with their pokemons.

Upon hearing the name, my little nerd heart did backflips of joy. I immediately rushed over, only to find a store that has essentially no connection to the 20 sided die they named themselves after.
The store itself was cram-​jammed to the rafters full of very, very sweaty guys playing Magic.: The Gathering.
We found board games and card games galore, and enough Magic cards to choke a mule.
There were, however, no RPG books that I saw anywhere. Flagrant false advertising.
It’s great if you like Magic: The Gathering and the overpowering stench of a High School wrestling mat.
However, for what they had available, good selection. The board games were not anything you couldn’t find at The Compleat Strategist, but being as they’re the only store anything like this on the L train, it’s worth a visit.
If you have the time to go to Manhattan, go to Compleat Strategist instead.

We headed out to Brooklyn to find the 20-​sided store. Having a kid who is a big fan of Magic: The Gathering, this seemed like the perfect place to feed his obsession.
It is a small place, and that is the only reason it is a 4 star place (for me). They have a lot packed into a small area, and he bought some rare cards, dice and some other «crap» for his gaming life. We even got a t-​shirt with their logo.
In the area beyond the merchandise sat a hundred men (all men) playing Magic: The Gathering. Jammed at long tables, they played each other with intensity and fun.
It was amazing to see the variety of people playing: bankers, nerds, geeks, preps, frat guys – gay, straight, well dressed, unwashed, condo owners and fellas who live in mom’s basement. They all were there, playing having fun.
This scene was worth the trip, all on its own.
My son enjoyed himself, spent my money and I felt like I had spent time giving him a cool experience.

They have a solid collection of board games– not as extensive as Uncommons in Washington Square Park, but that’s because this is primarily a game store.
They frequently have Magic tournaments, and while I do not play Magic, the tournaments seem very well run and quite popular.
This game store is very well lit and has a great selection of board games. I would recommend coming here more for purchasing games than playing games.
