  Great place! There was a nice selection of board games that I haven't seen in a lot of general toy and games stores. I was also looking for some mini D&D dice, because my DM was using them and I had thought they were adorable. (And many other fantastic dice sets. ) All in all, the store is fantastic, and I thought it was also cool how there was an area for playing board games (etc.) downstairs.

  Very cool store! Nice variety of games, cards, novelty, and other items. Large space in the lower level for the community to face off in Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, other games. Feels slightly higher priced than some other similar stores, but won't stop me from visiting again.

  It's the go-to games store for anyone in the Boston area. They carry tons of board games, card games and general collector items. They run a truly astonishing number of weekly events for all kinds of games. Happy to have this store near me.

  Went in to buy Pokemon singles. Was going through the binders and had a stack and asked to put on counter to which the two employees looked at each other like I was speaking a different language and gave me a dirty look “sure whatever” they tell me. Then I ask about singles in the case to which he rolls his eyes I ask to see one they put 4 copies out on the case and just stare at me. No explanation no price. I ask what’s the price he scoffs it changes everyday. Ok this isn’t tcgplayer. This isn’t eBay. This is a LGS that I went out of my way to come and support. Terrible customer service terri

  Griffin was the man ! Took his time & went through 2 binders filled with vintage Pokemon & gave me the best price possible. Tbh more than I was expecting. Nothing but honest & warm welcoming people as soon as you enter the establishment. Thank you Griffin !

  TLDR: I really, really wanted to have a good customer experience with this place, but I was ghosted. A friend recommended I reach out to them about buying some MTG cards. The shop was initially responsive, but after multiple attempts to follow up and pick up some cards, they ghosted me. I try to support local businesses, but I guess I’ll just take my cash to eBay and FB marketplace :/

  Pandemonium is overpriced, with an error-riddled and outdated online store, and heinous, sexist customer service. If you are a woman and you attempt to point out a month's long delay, be prepared to be patronized and condescended to because the store will try to blame the customer for the store's own screwups, all while guys get genial and accommodating responses. Wizards has been trying to make MTG more inviting to women, but LGS's like Pandemonium make it impossible for women to be treated as equals. As a man who wants everyone to feel welcome in MTG, I recommend any of the several other nea

  This is by far the worst customer service ever at a local game store from Ben. Do not expect your orders to be fulfilled accurately, on time or ever. Expect staff to be sexist, snippy, and dismissive when they are in the wrong (oh and no refunds when they mess up). Go to a place like TJ's or Omar's World of Comics for a consistently wonderful experience instead.
