So cool it's almost overwhelming. Just a staggering collection. I went for RPG-related needs, but board games, Warhammer figures, and even bird feeding supplies are here in ample supply. The staff are friendly and helpful, the decor is charming, and there's lots of options here....Read More

TWD… it’s unlikely that there is a better FLGS in the western suburbs. An incredible selection that is always updated, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Walking through the shop is a decently organized series of rooms with board games piled everywhere. There...Read More

Drastically marked up Lorcana cards almost 100% over MSRP. I tend to never go back to places that abuse supply issues. Better ways to deal with scalpers.Had an insane selection of board games though. Great atmosphere otherwise.

The Wandering Dragon is complete garbage. This place is nothing more than an extremely overpriced board game store. Save yourself the trouble and buy from Amazon or a different local game shop. They completely miss the mark when it comes to being...Read More

This is my go-to gaming store in the southwest suburbs. The place is decorated nicely, and I like that they offer free tables in the big room in back or private rooms at $2-$5/person. They have a good selection of games in their free-to-play shelves...Read More
