Nerdy Needs

Awesome games store with friendly service! I came in to purchase the Root base game and Pokemon ETBs. While Root wasn't in stock, the owners ordered the game for me to pick up next week. They also gave me a deal since I was buying Root and one ETB, I got the other ETB for free! Big board game selection, nice shelf for TTRPG books, not as expansive for Pokemon cards - they seem to have more MTG - but I did ask about 151 and they said it was sold out from high demand. Totally understandable. Overall recommend this FLGS, I'll be back!

I enjoy playing here they a very large inventory for board games, dice, card games like magic and Pokemon. They host tournaments, free play, and accommodate for group sizes. They have snacks, funko pops and other collector figures.

This place is so awesome. As you can see by the photos lots of *Nerdy Needs* here I was looking for pokemon stuff and found some.. But found allot more Magic the Gathering. Singles, binders, sleeves, if you want to start or add to your collection of TCG, this is ur spot. Also if u want a fun family night or date nite there are so many cool games I wouldn't know where to start. I give an A for customer service for the bank of the store by the games room where lots of people and friends come to play TCG ect. But to the nice lady in the front, A++ made my experience that much better. I will be coming back.

Update

Every time I come here I fall in love with the staff a little bit more. They are so kind they have ordered certain toys that my boys are very fond of. They also went out of their way to carry a product for me that I needed and put it on hold for me. They heard I really like the labyrinth and they got in labyrinth products. I ended up getting a labyrinth game. I also really enjoy hocus pocus and they've got some hocus pocus games in now too.

The people here really do go above and beyond to try and please everyone.

Even though mask are optional the store is so big and there is so many goodies tossed around you really don't have to worry about coming in & interacting with others if you don't want to because of covid fears.

How ever the area in the far back of the store is avery popular place to hang out. They hold special events at this shop and they are vary Nerdy 🤓 just kidding 😂, but They do get populated fast. I've only met kind of sweet people here that includes that includes the patrons that come here as well as the staff.

The lighting is bright but not to the degree that it hurts your eyes. The environment is cozy and enjoyable because of the people 😊.

I love this place technically it's a family Own business but it's actually run by friends. I love that these 4 friends pulled their money together and got themselves this wonderful shop. All of them are very respectful and kind. There is a sweet little girl that comes in all the time with her mom and they treat her and she mother like family 💝. That something that a Idolize about this place they make you feel at home 🏡 . Sometimes if the place is not crazy with customers they with toy's with the young child.

They have a vast amount of dordgames You could acquire. They have car games like pokemon, magic & a new game that came out 3 months ago but is new to the store.

They have lot's of adorable squishy and finger poppets. The squishy toy's are helpful for kids that like to touch every thing. I give it to my two children with autism and ADHD and it helps calm them down when they are upset 😡 + squishy toy's = 😌

This building has a open floor plan by that I mean you can see 👀 most of the place from out side and walk 🚶‍♀ around easily in the store. You don't need to worry about accidentally knocking something over.

The place is clean and small's fine. Cute stuffed toy's are displayed all throughout the store. I love the price's here's I feel like they make sure to keep the cost of ther merchandise low and for that I thank them 😊.

Extremely touched by the kindness the owners had towards my young son who loves Pokémon. It really rocks when a shop welcomes the younger kids and has all age board games/cards/play areas that get them excited to develop a hobby. Also, they had MTG and Lorcana singles and all the fun stuff I was looking for. Well worth the drive from Tampa.

Absolute gem for any nerd aficionado, the staff and owners are so incredibly knowledgeable, personable, helpful and friendly. If they don't carry something they will order it or tell you were to get the best price on it. Their game lounge is huge, parking is fantastic, and events are always packed. Great place to spend your evenings complete with snacks if you get snackish

I checked the new shop out and was very impressed! They have everything I will ever need for my nerdy hobbies and very reasonable pricing! The owners are helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I was thrilled to find lots of cool rare items and "non mainstream" games on the shelf too (the person ordering understands board games and has good taste!). Keep em coming!

They have RPG items, nice variety of tabletop games, Magic the Gathering, lots of supplies/mats & sleeves, Pokémon TCG, nice open gaming space, comics, pop figures, cuddly stuffed animals, nerdy clothing, AND even a kids section. There is even a Bronson.

I am so happy to have them right down the street in the heart of Brandon. Looking forward to frequenting often to game with the community once the world is normal! 🤩

Awesome place for gamers and enthusiasts. We just met for a HeroQuest session with some friends and had a wonderful time! I was impressed by the store. Very huge amount of board games.

What can I say about this store.....IS SO COOL! A lot of bored games to different types of card games. From Magic to Lorcana. They also have Dragon Ball Z and Yu-GI Yo. Michelle was the one who helped me out. Super sweet and customer service on point.

What a gem. It's clean and welcoming. The store is well stocked and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Its my go to for my vacations after one visit. I will be back.

Was in town visiting family and was not expecting to find a Board and Card Game store like this. Huge selection of both, especially Magic The Gathering. Added bonus was the gaming room and tables.

We visited this LGS on vacation and it was hands down the best experience we have ever had in a games store. Everyone we met was super kind and knowledgeable and we spend an hour just chatting and browsing before making some fantastic purchases at really reasonable prices! Could not recommend more strongly. A++++++++ would give 6 stars if I could

A Great amongst friendly local game stores! Beautiful selections of board games and fun accessories, pokemon and mtg section of the store. Several gaming tables set up, but watch out- they fill up fast on event nights! Friendly, helpful, accomodating staff. This is a wholesome, friendly hangout!

Great shop that really cares about their customers. The prices are fair, and the service is very friendly. Solid selection of gaming products and collectibles.

hidden gem! nice place to stop by for new dice and gifts for your nerdy friends! exceedingly friendly staff and very clean store. definitely recommend!

Honestly I had been a bit turned away from the "LGS" experience but this place is something special! It is so worth your time to just come in and talk to Gregg and his staff. They know what they're doing and care for the community.

They stay open late at least till 9:00 and the shop owner was very nice when I asked about activities and all that and when people come

The people here are always super nice. Great staff and fun environment. Great selection and welcoming atmosphere.

This place was so amazing, they let us play dnd in the back and the staff were so amazingly nice. The products they have are of really nice quality and there is just so much stuff to look at it was a little overwhelming. 10/10 would absolutely go again, this place is so worth it.

My wife and I just found Nerdy Needs yesterday while trying to find a new LGS. Great selection, great staff, and fair prices. We already plan to head back again today so our kiddo can check it out too!
