Tucson Games and Gadgets

We dropped by while in town for the book festival. Wow, what a nice shop! Well-​stocked with awesome staff. It was great to see so many folks playing games at the tables. We bought a couple things and mourned the fact that we were just visiting. If we were locals, we’d be regulars here for sure.

One of Tucson’s newest and best game stores! Awesome central location & easy to spot under the «clock tower,» this place has more board games, card games, tabletop minis, and RPGS than even the Grandmaster could ever hope for!
Awesome playspace, plenty of snacks, friendly and knowledgeable staff, all components of the perfect gaming venue. Yeah, I’m drinking the Kool-​Aid. Go check it out!

This is one of my favorite gaming stores in Tucson. The staff is warm welcoming and helpful. They have a feature where you can rent games and take them home to try it out. This is a huge plus when most board games are $ 30+. Would recommend this store to anyone.

I had a great time at Tucson games and gadgets for a get together with some friends. Mark was very friendly and introduced us to games that are totally new and unique to what we’re used to. The selection of games here is amazing, with something for everyone. Highly recommended if you want to try something unique and fun!

Awesome place for all things tabletop! Magic pre-​releases are fun and exciting. Their selection of unique board games is better than any store I’ve been to, and the staff is more than happy to help find and try out new games.

Love this place! Great atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and never to busy to explain and teach a game. Love to come in with friends and play games. Sometimes we come in, buy a game, they help us set it up and teach us to play.
Large game selection, snacks, and tables available, they also have a large selection of demos so you can try a game before you buy.

As someone who has only recently gotten into the world of board games, I was really grateful to find a place like Tucson Games and Gadgets. The staff is very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. They’re quick to offer suggestions and are even willing to teach the rules. The atmosphere is very casual and congenial. I never felt like I was being looked down on for my lack of knowledge by either the staff or the players.
They, far and away, have the best sales in town. Sales don’t just apply to overstocked or less desirable items. I was also pleasantly surprised when we went on a Wednesday night and I was offered a free soda and 5% off our purchase for «Ladies Night.» That struck me as a cool and inclusive promotion.
Tucson Games and Gadgets makes it easy to support a local game store rather than just purchasing games online. I can’t thank them enough for helping us get into the hobby.

Outstanding local game store — professional, clean, and very helpful. The staff will help you find what you are looking for, make helpful suggestions, introduce you to new games, or order what they don’t already carry in stock.
They carry a large selection of board games, and their stock of miniature games is growing as interest presents itself. You can find groups here regularly playing Dust, Bolt Action, Flames of War, X-​Wing, SAGA, Wings of Glory, and Sails of Glory.

Don’t plan on going to store events here they don’t seem to be at all organized. This place makes Show Time Cards events look like a well oiled machine. Also don’t plan on the event actually following the format to which they implied it was going to occur or the prize support (they don’t play at ANY REL for MTG). Sure they have a good selection of games but so does Isle of games and Amazing Discoveries (both of which are better places). This place is set up like your uptight friends moms basement. Everything is fancy and over the top decorated all while it smells like glade plug ins and ozone to hide the smell of her sons stinky friends, probably because thats what they use. I am not a table top gamer, I play miniature war-​games and MTG this place has made me so frustrated with just about every aspect of dealing with them that they can get in the boat with Fredo. If they have what you want fine what ever, but I will avoid them to avoid the hair pulling frustration of disorganized unprofessional events and un-​spectacular selection of products in my chosen areas of gaming.
If you don’t understand some of the initialisms I used then don’t worry, my review isn’t really for you. You will probably say to yourself I don’t care about any of that and this shop might be fine for you but if you are a competitive gamer who likes places that have structure than its best to avoid this place.
They do have cheap dice.
IF I could I would give them a 1.5 as they are not the worst place I have ever dealt with but they are in the bottom 20%. As much as I do feel support your LGS I will shop online before coming here, assuming no one else in town has what I am after.

This is the best game store in Tucson! There’s no other place I would go for my tabletop needs. There aren’t enough words to describe the experience you will encounter here. FREE tables. Amazing staff… friendly, knowledgeable, fun! I tell 4 people a day, at least, about this store. My friends have become regulars. If you’rein a game, bring it there. If you’re not involved in a game, you can find one here! You must stop in as soon as you can. Seriously, go there now.

Great atmosphere, solid collection, good variety. Very clean and the Owner is very welcoming. Would definately recommend.

This game shop is the cleanest and nicest looking shop I have found in Tucson (I’ve been to 3 others in town). Over the past few months it has become a regular haunt of mine due to the friendliness of the owner and great atmosphere.
The Gadget part of the name denotes the fact that TGG sells a selection of «Geek» «Nerd» or whatever you want to call them products. From Star Wars coffee mugs to Tardis soap dispensers, toy catapult models, and Firefly posters there’s a fun spread of geek gear available.
The store has two good size tables up front for general gaming, a private room, two narrow tables for card gaming and four tables in a back room for miniatures gaming. The shop has separate male and female bathrooms that I have always found well kept. Mark, the owner, even tries to keep the store smelling nice, something I found lacking at another location. The two tables up front and in the private room are actual wood, not the plastic catering tables you find at most shops.
Mark carries just about any Fantasy Flight product you could want and will order it for you if it’s not in the store. TGG has several mini’s games available with the exception of Games Workshop products. One whole wall of the shop and a couple racks are devoted to board games, if you want it they probably have it.
If you’re looking for a place to hang out and game Mark sells snacks (soda, candy bars, chips, etc) and doesn’t pester you while you play.
I could gush on and on about this place, but I’d recommend just heading down there and taking a look, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
