The one in my city is really small and fun. Whenever you go in to buy a few cards there’s always a more autistic than me kid asking me if I know this card, if not, they’ll explain, and it goes on for 45min and you can’t get away. Or the owner is there and starts to complain about the economy, his autie customers not working, about politics, about how it used to be better back then, his experience in prison (ehm ok) etc. Again, can’t leave for at least 45min. Few years ago I came there with my partner, she needed a few lands. A hoard of people came onto us. “Ooh, a girl playing magic!” We stayed there for 2 hours as we couldn’t end the conversations even though we tried many times lol.

I love it so much, places like these are super rare and awesome which should never stop to exist. Support your local game stores! Whether it’s trading cards, miniature war gaming or regular boardgames.

I would love to support my LCS, but unfortunately they’re in the scalper business as I caught the owners wiping out inventory at the Big Box stores.

Ahhh brings back memories from my YuGiOh days, sitting in the back of the shop opening extortionately expensive packs and playing game after game. I’d miss it if I didn’t now see just how much of a horrible waste of money it was.

  May be so, but fun is worth some money too. And some cards hold value. One card I bought for 5 euros is now worth 1200.
  
  I haven’t played magic for several years but recently I started playing with friends again.
  
  I also played Warhammer 40k for a bit. Talking about overpriced shit. I want to sell it all. Once they changed the rules so I had to invest 500 euros to get the right books and extra models to get my armies playable again. 55euros for 3 unmoddable models. Plus super expensive paint. Fuck that. And there are many players who don’t know what sportmenship means.
  
  Magic with friends stays a lot of fun so I’m sticking with that. The interest goes on and off over the years while the value of cards only increases so I’m happy.
