About

We are a local games store. Emphasis on board games and very light on the hobbies aspect.
Locally Owned. Gamer Operated.
We are a community space, now open for events and in-store gaming! (For masked and vaccinated guests).

Chess, dominoes, cards, poker supplies and many classic games, as well as European imports, small local game developers and several collectible card games (Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!).

It’s Your Move will gladly make special orders for items not regularly stocked — just ask! We also host many gaming events and are available for birthday parties.

Currently we host various role playing games both for children and adults, as well as a Scrabble club, Go club, Chess club, Magic the Gathering Drafts, Open gaming nights, Free local Comedy and more. We always have many events going on at the store from Chess to Role-playing, Scrabble to Magic, or Board Games to Comedy.

You can find all our Special Events on Facebook -or- check out the Calendar of Weekly Events on our website for info on all the regularly scheduled activities.

Great community place
This store is really more of a community space then a retail space. they do sell great games and specialize in Euro games and Locally designed games but their focus is on events and community. they have lots of gaming groups that meet in their space including; chess club, scrabble club, roleplaying for youth and adults, Magic: the Gathering, and nights for playing board games. There is a used game library that you can rent games for $2. a day. They also have fantastic stand up comedy with 'Critical Hit' every Saturday night from 8:30 t0 10:30, ( doors open at 8 pm it is $5-$10 sliding scale and is BYOB). This place is very inclusive and casual with a great local vibe. they have been here 14 plus years and are well worth checking out!
