Nerdy Needs - Brandon, Florida

Lauri P.

This was our first time in and we were mesmerized by the amount of GAMES and people hanging out to play different games! I want to play them all. After walking every aisle, we finally decided on the new Ticket to Ride ( $120 monster of a box). The atmosphere was a game night fun night vibe! This is definitely a small business we'd love to come back and support!

We visit every game store in every city on this coast, and nerdy needs is her absolute favorite. Huge selection of games, huge selection of cards, and we love the staff.- the owners, Michele and Greg are always amazing, and the friendliest people on earth it’s a delight to shop here.

This place is so awesome. As you can see by the photos lots of *Nerdy Needs* here I was looking for pokemon stuff and found some.. But found allot more Magic the Gathering. Singles, binders, sleeves, if you want to start or add to your collection of TCG, this is ur spot. Also if u want a fun family night or date nite there are so many cool games I wouldn't know where to start. I give an A for customer service for the bank of the store by the games room where lots of people and friends come to play TCG ect. But to the nice lady in the front, A++ made my experience that much better. I will be coming back.

Great board game store! This is a store for people looking for more than just Monopoly, but they have plenty for the more "casual" game enthusiasts. They also have a large sit down area for people into CCGs.

Update

Every time I come here I fall in love with the staff a little bit more. They are so kind they have ordered certain toys that my boys are very fond of. They also went out of their way to carry a product for me that I needed and put it on hold for me. They heard I really like the labyrinth and they got in labyrinth products. I ended up getting a labyrinth game. I also really enjoy hocus pocus and they've got some hocus pocus games in now too.

The people here really do go above and beyond to try and please everyone.

Even though mask are optional the store is so big and there is so many goodies tossed around you really don't have to worry about coming in & interacting with others if you don't want to because of covid fears.

How ever the area in the far back of the store is avery popular place to hang out. They hold special events at this shop and they are vary Nerdy 🤓 just kidding 😂, but They do get populated fast. I've only met kind of sweet people here that includes that includes the patrons that come here as well as the staff.

The lighting is bright but not to the degree that it hurts your eyes. The environment is cozy and enjoyable because of the people 😊.

I love this place technically it's a family Own business but it's actually run by friends. I love that these 4 friends pulled their money together and got themselves this wonderful shop. All of them are very respectful and kind. There is a sweet little girl that comes in all the time with her mom and they treat her and she mother like family 💝. That something that a Idolize about this place they make you feel at home 🏡 . Sometimes if the place is not crazy with customers they with toy's with the young child.

They have a vast amount of dordgames You could acquire. They have car games like pokemon, magic & a new game that came out 3 months ago but is new to the store.

They have lot's of adorable squishy and finger poppets. The squishy toy's are helpful for kids that like to touch every thing. I give it to my two children with autism and ADHD and it helps calm them down when they are upset 😡 + squishy toy's = 😌

This building has a open floor plan by that I mean you can see 👀 most of the place from out side and walk 🚶‍♀️ around easily in the store. You don't need to worry about accidentally knocking something over.

The place is clean and small's fine. Cute stuffed toy's are displayed all throughout the store. I love the price's here's I feel like they make sure to keep the cost of ther merchandise low and for that I thank them 😊.

Awesome games store with friendly service! I came in to purchase the Root base game and Pokemon ETBs. While Root wasn't in stock, the owners ordered the game for me to pick up next week. They also gave me a deal since I was buying Root and one ETB, I got the other ETB for free! Big board game selection, nice shelf for TTRPG books, not as expansive for Pokemon cards - they seem to have more MTG - but I did ask about 151 and they said it was sold out from high demand. Totally understandable. Overall recommend this FLGS, I'll be back!

I checked the new shop out and was very impressed! They have everything I will ever need for my nerdy hobbies and very reasonable pricing! The owners are helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I was thrilled to find lots of cool rare items and "non mainstream" games on the shelf too (the person ordering understands board games and has good taste!). Keep em coming!

They have RPG items, nice variety of tabletop games, Magic the Gathering, lots of supplies/mats & sleeves, Pokémon TCG, nice open gaming space, comics, pop figures, cuddly stuffed animals, nerdy clothing, AND even a kids section. There is even a Bronson.

I am so happy to have them right down the street in the heart of Brandon. Looking forward to frequenting often to game with the community once the world is normal! 🤩

When I say I LOVE THIS PLACE! Believe me! First off, I just want to say how outstanding they are. Super friendly and so welcoming. They have so many different type of cards games you can think of. Magic, Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, Star War I mean you name it and they just might have it. Super clean and organized. Please come by and support them. They deserve the best of the best. If I could I'll give them a 10 star.
