The Wyvern’s Tale

My boyfriend and I visited The Wyvern’s Tale for the first time recently and it is one of the best board games stores that I’ve been to in awhile. I’m extremely pleased with the selection of games and miniatures. Their prices were not bad for a board game shop. The staff was very kind and pleasant and answered all of my questions. This is a very nice facility. The only thing is they have limited parking. I noticed that another reviewer commented on where to park for overflow, so glad I know for the next time I come and visit. Wish we had a chance to stay longer!

I felt anxious as I drove over here the first time… immediately after hearing about its existence. What I found inside was truly wonderful. The staf and patrons are very friendly and interesting. I now make the drive to Asheville a bit more often, just to stop over here.
You must add The Wyvern’s Tale to your itinerary if you enjoy any of the following: board games, card games, role playing games or decorating miniatures. They carry board/​card games such as Munchkin, Gloom, Ticket to Ride (all versions), Settlers of Catan, Castle Ravenloft, Descent, Netrunner, Firefly, and even old school clue and other vintage games. They carry pre painted miniatures, blank Reaper minis, and a variety of paints. Staff member, Michael is good resource for painting advice. Kent, the owner is fond of grass roots gaming support, and recently bought in as an Ultimate Retailer with Monte Cook’s Nuemenera Kickstarter project. Wyver’s Tale hosts a pathfinder society, board game night, Dnd testing, War HAmmer, and so much more. They also have a small Keurig brewer, so feel free to BYOK-​cups. There is also a balanced ratio of females to males in most gaming groups. I think this is due to the shop’s comfortable and fun atmosphere.
You don’t have to be a genius or an über geek to enjoy this shop, as they are welcoming to everyone. I highly recommend The Wyvern’s Tale for all your gaming needs.

Stopped in while in Asheville for the day and this is a fantastic store. Wide board game selection with an appealing display, tons of reaper minis and a Pathfinder room with ton of RPG items. Upstairs has a gamimg area and there is a case of store games to help yourself.
Staff working was also very helpful and friendly. If you are a gamer passing through Asheville — this is a must stop!

When I moved here in mid 2011, the first thing I did was scope out all the gaming stores in town. While there were a few and all were decent, I never really found myself frequenting any of them.
Then came The Wyvern’s Tale. Hands down the best selection, staff, and service of any FLGS I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling «my game store.»
The space is great, with a huge selection of board games, card games, miniatures games and accessories, and a good selection of popular role playing games and supporting materials. If they don’t have something, they will happily order it for you and notify you when it arrives.
Better even than the retail space is the amount and quality of the play space offered. The entire upstairs of the shop is gaming space, with tables for board and role playing games and high top terrain tables for all your miniatures battles.
They have regular weekly events and also hold special events and tournaments fairly often.
In short, this is the shop I go to in town. Period.
One tip (not a negative, just a fact): parking is mostly behind the shop and is limited due to their location, but if you go one drive further on the same side of Merrimon their next door neighbors allow overflow parking for the shop.
