Cool store but under staffed and not alot of knowledgeable people there as well I went to sell some of my Pokemon cards three and they low-ball me and told me my cards weren't worth anything yet they had those same cards in their display case!

Good in store service but lacking in online/phone customer service. I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good LGS.this is one of few in the area that I was able to locate. I visited and they have a great card games selection and a decent selection of other games. My main issue has been special ordering items and a general lack of customer service in this regard.

I ordered some items including a Collectors edition of a rule book. I understood that the special edition might be out of stock when they ordered. I get a call of the day before the items go on sale. I am told my items are there and ready for pick up first thing tomorrow, great! I get there to find out that the collectors edition was sold out and I was not ordered or had a basic edition set aside. Now the basic edition is also out of stock meaning I now have an incomplete set. A game with no rules.

I should have been contacted when part of my order was not available to see if I wanted to cancel. I should have been asked if a basic edition was an acceptable substitute. I should have been told when called to get my order part of it was unavailable.

Weeks later I see the basic edition of the rule book is available again. Call to see if a copy has arrived for me, nope. Ok i need some more items for the game.tell them I want to order the items so they can be ready to pick up with the rule book when it does arrive. They stop me mid list to go check the shelves for the items. They have some 90% of it, nice. I ask if they are going to be held for me as I had mentioned I wanted to pick everything together. They do not do unpaid holds. So what was the point of checking the shelves? Either way I buy the items over the phone and order the remaining items.

At current I would stop shopping there if I didn't have a large sum of store credit that I got from selling some old cards.

Wild Things is such a great hang out place. My family is a gaming family. We range from table top games to Magic The Gathering, to video games (not sold here).

My son plays Magic The Gathering and Pokemon. My boyfriend, ex, and I love to play Magic The Gathering. We've always been able to walk in and find the cards we were looking for, at a reasonable price. There is a LOT of space to gather and play these games too. They have space downstairs with tables and chairs, as well as a space upstairs.

The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable. My son is 13 and he loves that he is able to come in and play games and hang out and the staff is always great to him, treating him with same respect and assistance they give the adults.

Over all, one of the best gaming shops I've been in, in a long time.

My favorite place to get accessories for Dungeons and Dragons. Best selection of minis and dice in Salem. I don't play TCGs but they have a large selection of Pokemon and MTG and a lot of people gather here to play them. Everytime I go here, I always leave with something.

They have a large space with lots to offer. The staff was very helpful in providing inforamtion on the different types of games that they had and different pricing for all kinds of products from Magic The Gathering, Pokemon and more. I went in to get Land for Magic The Gathering and found that it cost less to purchase lands through Wild Things than to purchase the large Land box set. Friendly staff, but they do get backed up a bit as when we were there we had to wait a few minutes to get assistance due to so many customers waiting with specific questions.

Best place for games like magic the gathering and Pokemon, also has almost all you could think of needing for dungeon and dragons (don't got tiefing figures for durde) but has so much board games, and as long as you play in the building they have some you can play right there. Also they sell great snacks and drinks, I almost always get a monster when I'm there and a couple of bubble gum balls.

Great local shop with a huge selection of games, cards, figurines, and all sorts of other nerdy paraphernalia.

There are tons of different types of card and board games here for small or large groups. Now a days many games have sequels or additional cards or pieces to add to the original game for more fun or a different twist; this game store has it or can look to see if they can get it for you. Also, if you need dice for various games, they probably have it. There is also a game space for several people or groups to come in and play. Ask to see how that works or if a cost is involved. I just saw people playing with a clock running. I did not ask how it all worked. This is not a video game store.

Stock is meh in any of there games. They have a lot of dnd dice. Customer service is abysmal so go in knowing what you want because interrupting a 4 employee conversation to ask any questions is very awkward.

Wild things is my go to for pretty much anything regarding cards, D&D, or most tabletop games. Staff is excellent, helpful and knowledgeable.
