Reviews of Source Comics & Games
David Speidel
Great store with plenty of materials for everyone. Books, manga, strategy books, tabletop games, role play games, dice,l and all sorts of gaming supplies. A huge area for group gaming and while we were there a tournament was wrapping up. Plenty of friends gathering for a great time and shared interests. I am glad I went and will be back again soon with my family.
Logan Paquin
I heard this store was a must stop, but had no idea how true that was. If you are into board games, collectables, books and comics, TCG, and more, this place has a huge selection to choose from. Very clean store with excellent customer service.
Tucker Nowak
Probably the coolest place in Minnesota. I wish they would do a little more Pokemon, and yugioh. At least one case of high end singles would be nice and wouldn't be too hard to manage. Otherwise they have basically everything you can think of. Lots of statues too
Jennifer Gibson
We get over to this store every few months and have purchased a lot of board games and different cards over the years. We went today for the Black Friday sale and needed to change our infant. I made my way back to the bathrooms and discover no changing table or even a surface to use, very annoyed I walk back out of the bathroom unsure what to do. After standing there for a few minutes I decided to ask an employee and he jumped into action and got me into a semi-secluded area to change my daughter’s diaper.
To the owner of The Source, please get a changing table in your restroom, nerds have kids too!
Luke T
Whatever your favorite thing is they probably have it. Extensive selection of comics and collectibles plus all types of games. Board games, trading card games, D&D, tabletop games etc. There's also a nice selection of pre-owned games if you're looking for something that may be out of print. Staff is also very knowledgeable and very helpful.
Jonathan Valentine
What is there to say about the source that hasn't been said yet? This place is great. Very helpful staff, fair prices, and great selection no matter what geekery you dabble in. I do wish that they purchased and sold more common and uncommon cards, but I can't fault them for not wanting to manage the bulk they receive. Overall a good space for MtG Commander. With the store being so visible there are quite a few try-hard types, so expect to play against some while you are here.
Tara O'Connor
Source Comics is my happy place. The employees are incredibly knowledgeable about the products they carry and they're helpful if I'm not able to find what I'm looking for. I have a hard time finding One Piece merch at other physical stores in the area, but Source Comics has this covered for me! Great selection.
Nathan Wallestad
This spot is rad if you are into anything from family board games to comics and warhammer. They have a decent sized game area where you can play tabletop games with strangers or friends. I personally love the selection of dice and Deck boxes.
The staff were super friendly and I’ll definitely be returning.
Aurora Pass
One of my favorite stores, they have a great variety of wonderful board games, tabletop RPG books, so many neat miniatures, lots of comics, and fandom swag. They have a little something for everyone, and the people who work there are super friendly! It can be a little hard to navigate, but that's because it's so packed with cool stuff. Plus they are dog friendly!
Trevor Green
You could always shop online, but if you're looking for a hands-on in-store experience for tabletop gaming and collectibles than this is the store for you. They have everything you can imagine from Warhammer 40K, dungeons & dragons, pokémon, to tons of different table top games. They also have paints, minis, dice, and friendly employees.
Did I mention comic books 📚😅
Also there's a large area to play games with people. Great place to go highly recommend it.
Bart Kersteter
One of the oldest game stores in town. GreT selection of products, ample gaming space and easy to get to. I’ve been shopping at the Source since the early 1990s and will keep doing so. Highly recommended!
Eric Colón
My go to board game store on the St. Paul side of the cities. Lovely staff, big selection, and good sized parking lot. Would recommend and I shall return again.
Andrew Sean
Source Comics and Games is a much-loved local destination for games, game gear, cards, comics, and all things related to analogue enjoyment.
I have been coming here since it was a beloved small corner shop down the street, and have watched with the rest of the community as it grew into the impressive space that is acquired years ago from a defunct video rental shop.
You would be hard pressed to come here and not find what you are looking for. The selection is extensive, the staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and the network they maintain outside of the shop itself with sellers, creators, distributors, and more fills any gaps.
This is the place to go for all things "nerd", though anyone of any lifestyle is welcomed with open arms. 😁
Platyben 2.0
Absolutely massive game/comics/manga/wargames store. Biggest Warhammer/wargames section I've ever seen. Wide selection of paints and primers. Very good selection of Magic the Gathering cards on par with Rockhopper comics and games, but with a different selection of old sets. An excellent selection of singles on display for MTG. Comic selection is huge. Also had a manga section, but it's a bit smaller and lacks a bit compared even to Barnes and Noble. Very friendly staff. Has a membership card.
Aaron Wagner
A great inventory of comics, board games, and miniatures. If I need something specific, I can usually count on them having it. Their staff are always nice and helpful.
Danielle Winingham
Great store, super nice employees. I go there mostly for the board games but my husband gets his comics there, too. Always a good experience.
Kim Claggett
The Source is such a unique experience. If you love comic books, anime or Manga, table top gaming such as D&D this is the place to go. The have so much to look at. Paintable figures for gaming as well as all the supplies needed to do so. They have a phenomenal stock of Funko Pop figures, movie fan figures/figurines, toys, boxed games and SO much more. Great location in Roseville. It is definitely worth a visit. $$-$$$
M Booth
Amazing board game selection! Even found some games that would be hard sells; like the Devil May Cry 5 Bloody Palace board game.... Which is pretty niche lol. My favorite game place by far. The store layout is nice too, you can see a lot of different things from any part of the store, but when you get into certain aisles it's a nice surprise to see there is even more to see! The staff were friendly, I didn't ask for help or anything, but I was checked on a couple times so that's great. I also got a DND sourcebook at a nice discount, so that made it even better haha.
Adam Solko
Amazing selection and great staff
PhantomDark21
First time here was recommended by barnes & nobles. You can find many rare collectable comics, manga, and not least tcg cards. They also held game tournaments for fun times at certain time of the day. Many friendly staff who asked if you need help which is a plus. I would recommend anyone to pay a visit here if they are looking for rare collector set.
Zac Reynolds
Great geek space with a ton of selections! Comics, games, figures, sets, dice, tools, DIY and more! Very clean store, knowledgeable staff, and fun atmosphere.
Zane Bodensteiner
Great place for comics and gaming needs. Including all table top games: boards, pieces, and lore!
Very helpful and kind staff.
Lieutenant Terraria
Absolutely astonishing. I love this place! If you like comics and board games this is literally perfect for you. My favorite part is the bundles. I was able to get Munchkin Comics from issue 1 to 7, each comic is 4 dollars. Guess how much the bundle was? TWO DOLLARS. It's a bargain. So amazing I would recommend this place even if you don't like comics. They have statues, dice and even miniatures! It's a place for everything you want out of a nerd store.
Nick Larocco
They have a lot of stock, and if you're looking for a game or comic they probably have it. But they often get things much later than you might expect, and they don't participate in bits & mortar, which is a free service that gives you a pdf when you buy an rpg book from a participating publisher (almost everyone but wotc at this point). Staff is helpful, but you have to grab one of them from the counter, no one really walks the floor to help. Gaming space is small. Don't expect anyone working there to remember you either, it really lacks the friendly local game store feel and is more like a big store with games in it.
CashLife187
Amazing store!! Has everything board games/comic books/figures/TCGs/TCG supplies(Pokemon/Yugioh/Magic/Sports Cards plus more!) Plus way way more! Highly recommend Source Comics!
Clay McCarty
Been going here since I was a little kid. They've got everything a nerd could want, comic books, miniatures, action figures, board games. Always friendly and knowledgeable staff when you need them.
alexander gaitan (大悪人)
Great local gaming and comics shop. Huge selection of comics, board games, and pen & paper RPGs. Very friendly service too!
Justin Walker
Mecca for all non electronic games. D&D and thousands of clones, illustrated novels, mini figurines, card games, MTG and more... Plus play space as well for said games!
Boda TheDestroyer
I've suffered from a case of NERD my entire life and The Source is the ultimate Twin Cities treatment. Comics, collectables, the best selection of tabletop miniatures and source books around. I could spend a week in this place.
minecraftᆞ
I got my manga... FINALLY I HAVE S2 OF DEMON SLAYER AND AOT!!!
Idk why I sounded like a villain.. anyway yea I recommend it cuz its a good store in my opinion 😌 …
Neversoft
Awesome selection of D&D stuff and very friendly staff! If you are at all into D&D you must go at least once!
Dane Bowles
Overall great Game and comic store. Their selection is massive in board games, TCG packs (singles are really slim), comics, and any accessories needed. The staff is super helpful and will answer any questions and give recommendations too. Probably my favorite LGS to go to in st. Paul.
David Vriezen
Great selection of board games, trading card games, comics, and RPGs. This place is huge, clean, and well organized. Helpful staff, and a sizable gaming space.
Probably the best game store in the Twin Cities area, always a pleasure to stop in here.
Deron Kling
If you are a gamer, you have time visit The Source. Whatever your game or brand of miniatures, these folks have it! Friendly staff will help you find what you need and can answer questions about the games. There are places to play games. If you game - stop here!
Aaron Lights0ut76
Loved the experience, staff was awesome and very helpful. For anyone who plays tabletop games and likes nerdy games like I do this is the perfect store for you! Definitely will be returning soon.
Tersa Craig
My son and I came in to purchase D&D figurines for his birthday July 18th. We purchase a large dragon from clearance and a couple of figurines out of the case. We had great customer service who answered our questions and helped with the case. We highly recommend The Source.
Michael McDonald
I love the Source. I come here for board games, magic cards, mini painting supplies and tabletop RPG stuff and they’re always super helpful! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and they stock tons of awesome stuff! Plus they’ve got lots of events for gamers!
Shaun C
Nice store in general. The layout is nicely done and easy to find what you need. Service was friendly and informative. Only reason for 4 stars vs 5 is they are a bit overpriced on some things (I.e. Funkos and some comics) and I’m not a fan of having to pay for a loyalty program.
H.S. Bramanti (Shawn)
Lots and lots of games, huge store. To me the comics back issues are set up in a somewhat awkward way. But once you get used to it they seem to have a large and reasonably priced collection. Lots of employees were there on a Saturday but not one out on the sales floor approached me or offered to assist me. Oh well.
Dave K
This may not be the best gaming store in the country, but it is the best I have visited. Wonderful stock of comics, books, games of all types, collectables,etc. Store is full but not cluttered. Organized well, allows for easy browsing. I have visited many times now and I still find new things. A great, great store. If I ever owned a game store I would want it to be like this.
David Vande Vyver
Pretty large shop with lots of older comics as well as other things including cards, board games, figures and paints and supplies as well as manga and newer comics and books as well, definitely worth a stop if you're looking for stuff of that nature.
JD Shepard
Awesome store. We mostly went there for magic the gathering things. Fill a box (about 400 cards) for $15. They have cool and funny card deck boxes and sleeves as well. They have many many card games, dnd things, nerd things, comic books, some larp weapons, etc. Recommend you at least check this place out for the sake of your inner nerd.
Jess Hendricks
A great place to find a gift for a loved one- wide selection of manga, board games, dungeons and dragon and any other table top game you can think of. A really big space!
Brandon V
Update: this place is great, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. While stopping by I was asked by 3 different employees if I needed help finding anything. When I asked about a product that only had 1 of the 7 products, the staff explained how its currently in developer lockdown and no news about re-release.
I've gone here a few times and enjoyed the experience. The staff are friendly and attentive and very knowledgeable about products. Board games, comics, war gaming miniatures, and painting supplies can all be found here. If they don't have something they often can order it for ya.
Vlad The Impaler
Quality establishment, definitely the place to go for comics mini figures or any of a wide variety of other various models and games.
Tyler Bolstad
This place is by far every NERDS KINGDOM took my 3 yr old here and his jaw just dropped in amazement at all the items not to mention they have graded comics and vintage as well as new ones cards, games and accessories just wow overall
Joseph Strohmeyer
This is truly a comic book super store with lots of memes and games. Spiderman Star wars etc
Jeremy Mann
I primarily utilize The Source for board games and I would say they are the best in the state of MN. The gaming stock available is amazing and I appreciate being able to browse physical inventory. From a hobbyist standpoint, the painting supplies are largely going online and I appreciate being able to speak with actual people and seeing a wide variety of product. The staff is experienced and gives top notch advice. I do not take advantage of the gaming area, but it is always busy. This is truly a community store that has cultivated a loyal following.
Joe Weston
Great selection of comics, tons of miniatures and the supplies to paint them, original art, this place is nerd paradise. Did I mention the biggest selection of dice in the cities area. If you're a geek in the metro you already know about this place.
C B (CJ)
Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff! One of the best places to pick up all things nerdy!
CreativeCollector
We don't have many comic stores in Wisconsin, so it was nice visiting this one. Only issues is that they didn't have a lot of the current floppies I was looking for.
J X
Long-time fan of The Source. Great selection of games, dice, comic books and related goods. Specifically, my D&D needs are well-met here ❤️🤘 …
Andrew Hanselman
For the dnd, magic or any other gaming style stuff this place will lead you in the right direction. New and used. My type of place.
Evan Fair
This is the place to be if you enjoy comics, games, manga, or a general good time! The workers were friendly, helpful, and covid-conscious which is refreshing! And it smelled great during my experience there!
Larissa Jeslis
Great customer service and always friendly. Great gaming space and always have something going on.
B K
This is a great place for comics, tabletop games, magic the gathering, mini painting, and dice. A most excellent nerd emporium!
Angelique Montag
Went to get D&D DM stuff to gift to a 16 y.o. girl just beginning to game. We found so much to choose from, and got excellent service from Burl.
ZMD
An absolutely fantastic and somewhat exhaustive place to look for games, comics and cards! If you are looking for a good place to visit and get some geek swag this is the place. Such a fantastic local stop.
Ducky
Had a blast gaming here. And their selection is remarkably large. Great place.
Rukland
I've loved the source for years. It has always been the comic or gaming store I tell everyone to go to if that need to find something for sure. And it's still that way today.
shade diaz
Ultimate Nerd Store. They have it all, and more! I went in for dungeons and dragons and they had everything from minis to landscapes to books. My favorite part was where you can pick from like over 20 different dice collections your own individual dice for sound a dollar.
Eric Guthrie
Amazing selection, prices are not better than average...their discount card is worth it if you are a frequent customer.
Justin Post
Best selection of games I have ever been to. I always find a new game to buy here
Noah Newbauer
Best selection of games I’ve seen, big playing space, lots of comics, and a friendly staff. I was really impressed until I tried to leave and purchase my things, the internet was down so they said I couldn’t purchase anything. I had cash and offered to pay that way and they said no and that I’d have to wait till later. It felt somewhat unreasonable, and it hurt my credibility with the business on my first time visiting.
Matt Shursen
I've not experienced a more amazing, friendly, and well stocked game and comic store in the area.
I've been a customer there for decades, prior to their move to their recent digs and keep coming back!
Lisa Koenke
We had a blast...we were going to go to a pool but the weather was not good so we called the Source to see what they had going on. We made it their just in time to participate in a Magic tournament. Everyone had a good time!!🤗 …
David Neubarth
Best place in the cities to find board games, rpg books, dice, and minis!
Kenzell Wagner
Great selection and very friendly staff, only complaint is the pokemon booster boxes are extremely overpriced.
Andrew Bachmann
This is a spacious building with board games, card games, miniatures, manga, comic books, tables for gaming, tournaments. Pokemon, magic the gathering, dice, etc. The staff was nice and the price is reasonable. We felt safe with customers and staff nearly all wearing masks. We bought a MTG commander deck and a couple of Pokemon booster packs.
Eddie Chamberlain
I've shopped here many times over the years. It is a little more expensive than online, but hey, you're supporting a local business! Amazing selection of board games and geeky statues. Worth it simply to come in and browse, or watch people playing games in the back!
Mike Harris
Excellent selection! I spend at least an hour here every time I go! So much cool nerdy stuff to look at!
Paint Minion (paintminion)
Wonderful people who really know their stuff! Something for everyone in our family! Very hard to leave!
Rellim
Love this place sometimes I walk around a hour looking for the right thing to buy so many great things to look at I allways go in looking for one thing and walking out with many items
Brian Breault
Pure Awesomeness!! Crazy amount of things!! Comics D&D and much much more!! Very friendly and helpful staff!! Highly recommended this place!!!
Chris Hanlon
Love this place! They have so many choices when it comes to miniatures for TTRPG's. They have a WIDE selection of paints, comics, boardgames, and way more. It's a gold standard find in MN
Rachel Kaphing
Genuinely an amazing store. Tons of books, games, comics, collectibles, whatever a nerd could desire is here. Kind and helpful staff.
Jason Lucarelli
Comics, games, gaming spaces, Source is an institution in these fields. A great place to spend an hour or a day.
Larry Hui
Love this place. My 5 year olds also love this place. This is where they got their first set of comics.
Kevin Feidt
My favorite store for all my d&d and magic card needs
Michael Standfest
This is an amazing store with tons of space. There is a huge gaming area and a great selection of almost everything you could imagine - miniatures, dice, games, cards, comics, etc. the staff was very helpful and we had a great time.
Reynaldo Robles Junior
Wow! This placebis huge and has almost anything for every nerd and geek out there. Truly a genuine comic book store! Recently they have been getting in more funko pops which is great! Some of them are hard to find and this place has it.
Allen Horstmeyer
Went shopping 9/8/22 and as always the staff were friendly and helpful providing excellent customer service.
Ryan Holz
You'd be hard pressed to find a better gaming shop. If you find one by some odd miracle, let me know.
Sam Browning
Great service, clean, great staff. Recommend it especially for magic tournaments
Alex Williams
Huge selection! Comics, games, posters, books, manga, dice, anything you could want this place has it. Great staff and friendly atmosphere
Brandon Butler
Huge selection of games and miniatures. Loved that it was all alphabetized rather than by maker. Made finding what i was looking for super easy.
Louis
Absolutely loved the place, great prices and great selection and very funny and helpful staff!
Jonny Gavilan
It's amazing. I'm brining my son back to this place.
Bradley Crep
This week I accidentally bought two different covers of the second edition of a new comic I was interested in. Not know that it wasn't the first and second number but an alternative cover of number 2. I brought it back in, explained to the person at the counter, they said no problem. Asked if I had the receipt which would make it easier but not to worry if I didn't. One of the other worker ran out to get number one and returned with 3 alternative covers for number 1. Great service! Been getting better. Nice to see.
Michael Vincent
I've been a nerd a long time and appreciated seeing the old Elmore art... not sure if the three Dragonlance Chronicles prints were for sale, but I didn't ask cause I may have gotten myself in financial trouble. Friendly staff and amazing selection of both new and old.
Tim Noonan (TimDawg)
Awesome store full of games, comics, collectibles, figurines and more! Satisfy all of your geek needs here!!
Alexandra Hanson
Source Comics & Games has a great comics selection and friendly staff! Having recently moved to the area, I was really excited to see how large their comics inventory was -- it's sorted well and I was able to find some awesome stuff easily. Their staff was also really nice and easy to talk to. I'm super excited to go back and definitely recommend them! (:
Trey Walker
In my 40 years of gaming this is by far the best place to browse and buy nerd stuff. They have everything you could want for a store like this and the staff are knowledgeable on all of it. It is my candy store.
Dr. DarthBatHulk
A Geek & Nerd Paradise! Friendly and helpful staff who are very knowledgeable about their products
Eric Doty
I wish they had a larger variety of paints like AK Interactive, Pro Acryl, Warcolour, Scale 75 & Kimera. Dave (on staff) is great.
Joseph
Source Comic & Games has most everything one would need for Magic the Gathering. I come here at least once a week to look at and pick up cards/games. The prices of packs are overpriced compared to Amazon but the store and it's community is worth a few extra dollars. Source has a plethora of the things you would need for RPGs, card games, board games, comics and more. Overall, this store has variety, an active play area, and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Gabe Robertson
More TTRPG books than even a dragon could hoard. Enough dice to make the most goblin-y of players happy. An impressive collection of comics and manga. Staff are easy-going and helpful, the store is very clean and organized, and the membership is well worth the cost.
Jacob Ripley
Good service 👍 great place for comics, games and collectibles. …
Tyler Nichols
Awesome selection and very helpful staff, I'd spend all my money here if I could. They had a unique selection of enamel pins which I love to collect and comics for daaaaaays. And the Dnd/game/mini selection was so big I think I spent almost an hour picking stuff out. And the staff was very attentive.
Tyler Jensen
They have a large selection of board/card/dice games which were organized by creators/developers. Adult coloring books, comics, and more. I would definitely come back and would definitely recommend this place to others.
Stephen Simko
Huge selection and very organized! Great staff who are all very friendly and knowledgeable. I absolutely recommend coming here again and again! You will not be disappointed.
Bunker
Amazing place for comics, comic games, and characters from across the board of comics to animate! Not my cup of tea, however my kids love the store and we always spend a while when we visit and the kids leave with new treasures, they could not live without😂 The place to go! …
Keith
Staff is always welcoming here. The mtg booster selection here is really expansive, spanning back at least 10-15 years. Dayton was really helpful with picking out some new manga as well. Definitely get the membership if you plan on visiting multiple times, it will pay for itself. Well stocked store, great staff.
Amanda Harper
Spent 2 hours here looking at all of their games! So many to choose from
Jeremy W
Really the best comics and games store anywhere. Knowledgeable staff that know about whatever niche thing you're looking for.
Fae Petersen
Great place to shop for comics and collectable alike. Staff is very friendly and the store is well orginized.
Joshua W
Fun experience, sales associate behind the counter was extremely nice. Talked to my son and asked him questions as we were checking out. She obviously enjoyed comics and talking about comics as well. I really like when comic shops have a kids section I can direct my son to and source has a good one. I also found the newest ultra mega, which was supposed to not come out until the next day so that's awesome 😎. My son also found an awesome Sonic you fit just a few dollars which made him happy as well. Will keep coming!
Adam “Ox” Wilson
Great friendly local game store. They have a huge selection of board games, comics, RPG's and anything your nerd/geek might need. Staff are knowledgeable and give good recommendations. Definitely check them out if you are in the area.
Chris Shorter
I have been going to The Source for years, and it continues to be my go-to game store in the north metro. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about their inventory, and they're pretty friendly. There is a large area for gaming, and they always have new releases available on time. I love that they offer preorder services, and they make the process easy. If you're looking for a nerdy comic/game store that will treat you right, look no further.
Courtney Willoughby
Probably the biggest geek store in the Twin Cities. Their name holds true on being The "Source" of Comic books, Manga, Board games, card games, and paintable miniatures for your tabletop games along with all the materials you need. Staff is always helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly!
Aidan Buckle
Amazing and thorough selection of comics, and a decent but smaller amount of games, certainly a great place for nerds like myself to shop or hang out. However, they are very strict on wearing marks at the moment.
M P
Excellent selection of games, miniatures and comics.
Prices are a little high, and customer service can be inconsistent. Usually if I have a question and it is slow I get quick help and a thoughtful input but if it is busy or they are having a good conversation behind the counter you have to get their attention.
I would have loved to check out some of their gaming nights but when I asked after a specific day or time people were in to play they the response was "Oh, just come by anytime. People are always playing." If I am going to set aside time to play a game at a place it would be nice to have an idea if anyone would be there and what game I should prepare for.
Corbin Buss
It's hard to pick favorites but this is my personal favorite comic shop in the Twin Cities. I would think it's impossible to rival their selection of new comics. They put on a show of force every Wednesday, and it is impressive and I always leave with a stack of books. Come check their store out if you are looking to get into or get more comics.
Nathan Wade
A HUGE selection of TTG games, dice, books, miniatures, apparel, and merch! Accompanied by a very impressive collection of comics, trade and back issues, as well as even noting local comics being published on their shelves Source was impressive to shop. They also sport quite a large manga collection too. The back third of the store seems to be dedicated to tabels for cards and TTG and to top it all off a huge table for miniatures! While I was in there was a group setting up a bunch of landscape on it and that was a treat to see as that was something unique that I had never seen before.
All in all, an excellent shop with plenty of space and ton of variety to capture whatever your nerd fancy may be.
Joel Stone
The source is a great place for everything geeky. I use that word with love not disrespect. From comic books to, gaming, and toys this place has a great inventory. Only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating is due to the MSRP pricing on everything. When you can have other stores order the same games for a few bucks cheaper it is hard for me to buy games at full retail from the Source.
GirlinTheBrown Hoodie
I've been going here since I was a kid and the staff have always been super helpful! They have a wide selection of comics, manga, and table top games. Great place for geeks of all ages!
Charlie Utzman
Great selection of comics and table top games. Very friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.
David Lancaster
Source is my go to for board games and card get supplies (sleeves, boxes, etc). The staff are always so helpful and their prices are competitive. My partner and I especially love their rotating supply of mystery box toys, definitely a guilty pleasure of ours :)
Grimm lynn
my dad used to bring me here for magic tournaments when I was a kid, and it always felt like a endless nerd wonderland to play around in. After moving out of the metro & returning for a visit, I'm happy to report that feeling of wonderland doesn't fade into adulthood.
decent prices, huge selection, and the kindest staff that's willing to talk your ear off about your nerdy interests. can't wait to come back!

Worth the drive. Some things are cheaper then other brick and mortar stores. Very friendly staff.
Paul Vang
Great selection of comics, table top games, paints, anime, and everything else you could think of. The staff is helpful and friendly and don't bother you if you're just looking around, but will help if you have questions. Decent prices for a local shop. The store is big.
Serge Z
Wow... i heard about this place, then i went. They have EVERYTHING i could want or need for tabletop gaming.
Kate Whiteley
Amazing selection and super friendly and helpful staff.
Hassan Javaid
Really awesome comics, collectibles, manga and board games store!
Keegan rettke
Fantastic collectible store. Great staff, and good variety of things to choose from
Kari Galloway
We go here for Pokémon Cards. We love there rewards program too. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The line can be a little long sometimes but it moves fast as well.
Angie Hansen
Friendly staff, clean store, the layout is a little confusing if you're not used to it, and the categorization of merch is a little odd but it's good place your needy, geeky, gaming goods. Actually a good place for obscure manga, comics, and games. Fun little trinkets line the shelves tempting you to buy.
tim seldal
Great selection! The staff knows their stuff on comics and games! They know their store and inventory! Reasonably priced. My 14 year old loved it as did my wife and I! We will be back.
Logan Dingus
Great place for comics. Very friendly staff. Always had a good crowd. They sell a lot of great games, comics, cards, and collectibles.
Tara H
Date of Visit: 08/20/2022 - HUGE game store. Staff was friendly enough.
Derek Young
Tons of selection for comics, manga, tabletop gaming, card gaming, and board gaming. And a large parking lot to support events and customers. Getting to it off of Snelling Ave is a bit tricky though.
Caitlin Brown
The Manga section Austin has done is amazing and is always stocked woth the newest comics and some of the hard to find old style!! I've gotten some from webtoons and webcomics! I have a few ordered as well which you can do in store which is amazing especially if their out of a volume I need!! Thank you much guys!!
Brittany Flokstra
Great local spot for comics, games, gaming, dice, meeting local gamer folx, etc.
Customer service is so-so. Need more women on staff!!! (Not all geeks are guys.)
Russ
One of the most fun stores in the state.
Sobhi Youssef
Since the recent changes, the community is great. That said, their prices are astronomically high compared not only to online but most game stores in the area. I think this is why they end up virtually giving away games every couple years and clearance sales.
Love the store though and we'll always swing by when possible ☺️
David Warren
Great place for games, miniatures and supplies, comics and manga. MSRP for everything where some other stores will knock a little of the top, but the trade off is that they have almost everything in stock. Good clearance section too. Also don't sleep in this place when it comes to painting supplies, they have a great selection including Army Painter basing stuff.
Kook
Great selection. As a comic collector and a big gamer i was impressed. Saw a lot of stuff i wanted. I also liked that it had some smaller press games and comics which is always awsome because i like to try less known stuff.
Jerz J
Looked all over the Minneapolis area for Ultra Pro sleeves for my baseball cards and finally came across them in this store where they had plenty in stock and at much more reasonable prices than anywhere I shopped - Amazon included. Price was.$.99 for a pack of 100. Best price I found on Amazon was $6.49. Store personnel were very cordial and helpful, too.
Nathaniel Paffel
Excellent well-curated boardgame collection which has what you're looking for whether you're dabbling or plunging into hobbyist.
Carries common family and party games, most of the BGG top 100, well-regarded hobbyist niche producers like GMT and Splotter, and you'll occasionally even see trending Kickstarter titles here before wider public release.
Inventory checks can be hit-or-miss. Visit the location. $10 gets a year membership of 10% off all purchases, and can compete with Amazon prices for a surprising number of products.
daniel rowan-fuller
Sizeable selection of miniatures, which is why I go. Also loads of supplies for painting mini's and running DnD. I've not explored all their stock, but I see loads of other board games, non-dnd mini's, dice, comics, and art supplies.
Michael Winingham
A great comic book store with huge selection of board games. Nice staff too. Highly recommended.
Doug Shores
Great selection. Their clearance table had a few minor surprises. They also offer consignment/used games which I always like to see.
There was plenty of space that was well used and decently organized. I was glad that I stopped in while I was in town.
Hillary Barbetta
Source has super friendly, enthusiastic staff, and the store layout that is easy to navigate and easy on the eyes. It also boasts a good selection of family and party board games, traditional table-top games, novels, war strategy game guide books, and manga/comics (both new and classic). There are also 2 spacious, wheelchair accessible restrooms, the entire store is always kept very clean, and plenty of space for gaming.
Zack Paul
Used to come to the old location all the time as a kid to buy comics, manga, and magic cards. Haven't been there that much recently except to buy some single cards but I really respect the store for what it does as one of the Twin Cities most important local game stores. They have a large collection of different stuff. Other specialty stores may have a better collection of just cards or comics or games but I think this place does the best at having everything. Store is well staffed and they are knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable but for games you may find better deals elsewhere.
Ash Strand-Miller
Best comic books store in the country. Huge selection of both comics and gaming. Always exciting to come back and just explore.
J.M.
This squad goes above and beyond. They brought me back all of the variety covers from san Diego comic con. Simply because I asked for them. Great group. All of your mtg game needs are met Nd exceeded. Everything from singles to booster boxes- the source is the place to play
Heaven Muehlhauser
Great store! Always wonderful selection.
Aaron Bieringer
This place is big! They have a great selection of comics, board games, table top RPGs, war games, and all of the things you need to support those. Dice, minis, paints, terrain, battle mats, and so much more. They also have a huge play space and a nice calendar of regular events. The staff has always been helpful and seem to really enjoy being there. Great place that I can't recommend enough!
Matthew Adams
They always have an great selection of comics and manga.
Benjamin Larson
A great place to buy new cards, miniatures, dice as well playing a wide spectrum of tabletop and card games (including various events). Fantastic staff, my go-to hobby store.
Casey Clay
It's always fun to visit and support this local comic book store. Paid a visit today and they still have two tables of Free comic books to choose from as an extension of Free Comic Book Day since the annual event from May was cancelled this year. The staff was helpful and friendly as always and beside comic books there're a lot of fun things to browse; games, books, toys, cards, etc.
Andrew Colella
Great comic/table top gaming store.
Lots of table top minis, paints, and other supplies.
A myriad of comics and other nerdy stuff 😁
Friendly, and knowledgeable staff in all my experiences there.
Shawn Lyon
The Source is my go to for all my geek pastimes. The selection of role playing books and accessories is second to none. They have a large selection of manga and comics, all sorts of tabletop games. The staff is friendly, helpful and are just as excited for geek pastimes as you are.
Karen O'Connell
This place is like no other I have been to for games and stuff. Truly amazing
Fabian Kohen
If you're looking for a good place to shop for the latest comic book or table top game, The Source is a great place to start. They have great service and many options to choose from. If comics aren't your thing, they have other collectables such as figures, statues, and miniature games. Most of the figure selections are at reasonable prices, but others such as Star Wars Power of the Force II can be a bit over priced compared to what you find online. Older comics can be hit or miss. Holding onto older comics can take up a lot of room at any comic shop but some collectors like myself prefer them over books produced in the last decade. Other than that, it's one of the best places in the area to get your collectable fill!
Quang Tran
Wonderful local game store, tons of options from comics, to boardgames, to tcg, and miniatures.
Their mtg single prices are great and they do online price matching, so if you're in need of some single quick for your commander decks, give this place a shot
Marty Davsi
I love the staff and the store. Great variety of comics, games, and tabletop items. The membership discount is totally worth it. I come every Wednesday for adventure league and the people are great, organisers are supportive. Highly recommend making this your shop
Andrew S.
This place is one of the best to go in MN for comic books, collectibles, and board or role-playing games. They have a wide variety of each as well as wide area designated for public role-playing sessions. The community is very welcoming, and I've had a lot fun on my visits there. In addition, the staff are very helpful as well.
S Swish
They have everything a geek could ever want, great selection a of comic books, mtg, games, and beyond. I take a vast majority of my business to them because I enjoy their fair pricing, excellent draft and pre releases, and overall customer service. They truly set a standard for modern game shops.
Michael Radway
Comic and game source gem that hits above its weight in area of selection and dedications to all that is comics and games. The owner is knowledgable and dedicated to being a source for his customers comic, game and all related needs.
Spencer
A great comic and tabletop game store! They host lots of great events and have good loyalty discounts. My only gripe is that the Magic card pricing can vary. Sometimes it's well above the market average for other stores, which is annoying. But sometimes it's below!
Paul Bifulk
My good friend brought me here on a whim (also to pick up his held comics) and to say I was impressed was an understatement. Comics from wall to wall, models, statues, toys, cards, etc...
In the far corner I could hear a group of friends playing a rousing game of Dungeons & Dragons. There were tables nearby for world building games as well.
They had comics I'd never known existed, many from local artists that were held together by staples.
Parking was plentiful, the staff was friendly. All in all a great experience.
My only complaint, I didn't realize how much comics cost nowadays, but I certainly won't be holding that against them.
Tamara Jones
Where to start... if you are interested in any type of games, war history, miniature painting, books, or any fandoms, this store has it. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. It's also a safe and healthy space for your teen to go and play and learn board games with decent people. It's a must-stop every time we are in town.
Jordan Stoeger
A big airy home for the nerd that lives inside us all. From board games to theatre of the mind RGPs, your tabletop dreams are sure to come true here. Excellent selection of books and graphic novels, too!
Hexadecinema
Great selection and prices. Friendly staff
Connor
Great place to go to geek out. They run regular events from MTG tournaments to family game night, and plenty of others with space to meet and play. Not huge into comic books but it seems they have a fair selection including manga and graphic novels. Plenty of tabletops for sale as well as miniatures and craft supplies. Overall a quite a nice large store with helpful staff to boot.
Chrissy Bennett
I love going to this store with my kids. We find so many interesting things. The employees are friendly and very helpful. My 16 year old daughter got some cool role play dice. I got Star Trek magnets and my 13 year old bought Manga. Something for everyone.
Laurel D
This has been my favorite store since my friend first told me about it about 6 months ago. Their selection is awesome, I regularly go here for manga and pokemon cards. The staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable as well, I highly recommend this place!
Joey Papan
Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Even when they're swamped, they will gladly take questions and have even recommended me some good comics in the past! Highly recommend as a local comic shop.
Emma Norwood
Love the game playing space in the back. I used to work here when it was Hollywood video and this is a great place to hang out and look over the books, cards, and games for sale. Great selection of dice. I run and after school program and we are purchasing dice for the D&D kids.
Will Matthews
One of the best spots to go to for Comics and Games. They have a great selection of upscale board games, comics, graphic novels, CCG games and more. Plenty of play space, and lots of activities going on all the time. Friendly staff is knowledgeable, and happy to talk your ear off if they aren't busy scurrying between 5 different customers. Magic singles are a little on the high side, but a vast selection to be had!
Douglas Feyma
I've been going to the Source since its early days, and it's only gotten better with age. The selection is incredible, and what they don't have they can probably order for you if you'd rather support a local business than ordering it yourself online. The staff has become more diverse in recent years, which is great in a market which can become cliquish but has wide appeal in the real world. Dr Hannah in particular has been incredibly helpful on a number of my visits over the past year.
Keith Jerome
I have been coming here for years and have never been let down. I never know what kind of atmosphere I'm going to walk into on each Adventure through the aisles. Whether I'm shopping for a new comic, browsing the Warhammer 40K selection, or shopping for a new board game there is always something new to find. If my resources, and storage capacity, we're bottomless I would be willing to take half or more of the store home with me. I walk them all to try and find something that they don't already stock on their shelves. Enjoy the hunt!
Daniel Schanus
Largest comic book and gaming store I've ever seen
William Beeves
Great comic and game shop with a huge selection of stuff. I found several treasures when I visited this place.
Brian Huilman
I've always loved this shop both in it's "new" (many years now) as well as it's old location. They have great, friendly, helpful staff who can cater to the graphic novel or gaming expert as well as those just stepping into that world. A wide selection of nearly everything makes this the go-to place for the serious collector or gamer.
Teri Lee
Great place for comics, collectables, and more. We always find what we are looking for and more every time we go there. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
Cliff Wood
Source is a great place for games and hobbies. Staff have always been friendly and helpful. Sometimes their paint selection can get a bit haggard, but it's always gotten restocked by the next time I've visited.
Samantha Saykao
This is a really great gaming store. They have a great selection of Magic cards. I don't really play but I think the selection here is more expansive than any other place I've been to. They also have a lot of manga and graphic novels here. If you like comics, board games, and card games; you should really check this place out!
Josh Jaskulka
Came here for free comic book day- there were indeed free comic books. Plus local artists from which I bought a signed star wars print from! The selection of games and comics seemed really expansive and varied. I don't know much about comics but still recognized a lot of niche and well-known titles alike. If I enjoy any of these free comics I'll be back to buy more in the series from here. Great atmosphere, glad the community has this store!
Jesse Holmes
I've been going to this shop for over 20 years and it's only gotten better since they moved locations. They host game nights which makes it easy to find others to play role playing and war games. Their's also an enormous selection of comics, cards, miniatures, and games. I enjoy stopping in just to see what's new in the non-computer game market.
Stef NJ
Incredible selection & well organized! The staff is very helpful, too. There's a gaming space in the back that's comfortable and usually very quiet. My wife & I play games here a lot and we try to make it to "Shieldmaiden Sundays" which is a day for women gamers to get together at Source. So far we haven't met any other lady nerds there but there's always next week. :)
X X
Red head and Blonde girls working at the Source are pretty friendly .I wonder if they still work at the Source?The Brunette and Blonde guys are pretty chill.The Black guy working there is pretty chill as well.
Sophia Bull
The Source is a staple of the geek community in the Twin Cities, and for good reason. Expansive selection of comics, games, tabletop gear and resources, and so much more. The staff are very knowledgeable and fun to chat with. There is space for community play the further you venture into the store. If they don't happen to have what you need, they will order it for you. Make sure to keep an eye on their schedule for upcoming events like community gaming, meet and greets, signings, sales, and convention appearances. Their email newsletter is also worth subscribing to.
Nolan Goplen
Anything you would ever want for comics, tabletop board games, CCG's and collectibles they have! Anyone interested in this job could easily spend hours here briefing their selections. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable, store is well maintained and clean.
Aspen
The most amazing games store I've ever seen. Huge selection, spacious store, friendly staff. I could have spent hours at the dice bins alone. I loved the staff-review tags on the shelves for many of the games, they helped make a tough decision a bit easier!
Joseph Levercom
Awesome place great service ! Tons of stuff for your interest
Kameron Kantor
I've been a regular for a couple years and the staff has been helpful all along the way! Whether you have no idea who Batman is or whether you spend your evenings in a friend's basement playing D&D, you'll find a new home here (yes I speak from experience). Their game section isn't given as much attention it seems, but that selection is fabulous; my friends and I have found many a new favorite here.
These guys have a great story for a small business with a unique product. I would never hesitate to recommend supporting The Source for any comic or game needs!
Jess Standish-Kooiman
The staff and the players for Friday Night Magic were all super friendly. I'm really new to the game, but they all made me feel welcome. It was a great atmosphere with good people. Not to mention, the store itself is massive and has just about anything you could ever want! Easy to get lost looking around for wayyy too long. I'll definitely be back!
Andrew M
It's a very good comic and game shop. It's not open late and it doesn't serve alcohol unlike another shop in the same town but it has been among the best shops of it's kind for the past 20 years that I've gone there. Good staff and an impressive selection of comics, manga, memorabilia, and games. (My view is painted by my interests, I'm a miniature war gamer and board game player mostly with some role playing and manga leans)
Nicole Beck
Associates are very willing to help. Large selection of pretty much anything you could imagine. They do special order items with no extra charge as well. I reccomend this for any of your comic book needs!
Paul Curtis
Great selection and highly knowledgable staff. If you have a question, they have someone who can answer it. I stop by here on my way to almost every D&D session to pick up something and enjoy every stop. They have a huge selection of table top games as well as dice paint and minis, on top of an extensive comic collection. Would reccomend to any person who loves to play tabletops
Orion Vandriska
It was definitely a good experience, lots of cheap but fun and high quality games
Steve Anderson
Best board game store in the twin cities. Such a large selection, good prices, and always fun to see what's new.
Liz Allen
One of the best comic & game shops I have ever been to! In fact, I've made the trip down from Duluth just to visit.
Huge selection of comics, board games, dice, TTRPG source books, and miniatures. Definitely a place on my must-stop list every time I go to the Cities.
Aven McConnaughey
They have a pretty good selection of everything geeky. You can find awesome used books there sometimes, so it's a nice place to go treasure hunting. I have felt uncomfortable there sometimes, and know of friends that have run into some boy's club moments, but it has gotten better over the years.
tara daly
Love this place! It's a wonderfully big store full of miniatures, board games, comics, and so much more stuff!! The stuff are wonderful! Everytime I go in they have advise for painting miniatures, homebrewing dungeons and dragons campaigns, or just talking about an awesome anime. My favorite comic/nerd ship in the twin cities hands down!
Shawn Droll
A great place to buy and play with an awesome staff.
Lloyd Scott
Source comics in the hub on 66th and nicollet or Hot topic I thought was the name of that store I met with James he is the Pokemon buyer comes in Saturdays between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. they also had a game going in store magic with many competitors that was nice also greeted when I walked in very friendly very courteous very helpful very honest I'll go back thank you James.
Barnetta Johnson
Oh my gawd its freakin huge! Substantial upgrades and beautiful big table top game area as well as all the cool stuff ever! Really nice but no spoilers! You are just going to have to drop by and check it out!I went with my daughter, her brother, and we really enjoyed it. They were very nice. Posters abound with info on many Twin Cities events and fan conventions
Tom Lutes
Awesome place to go for anything tabletop gaming related, as well as their comics and general geek culture paraphernalia. But don't let them intimidate you! Maybe you get some stink eyes if you're just coming in to wander and flip through some comic books, but walk in and ask a question about a game you want, you'll find the staff to be helpful and encouraging. Especially if you decide to come in to play Dungeons and Dragons on Wednesdays! They'll take beginners and help them learn.
Brittney Quant
One of the best selections of comic books and graphic novels in the Twin Cities. If they don't have what you are looking for, just ask and they will try their best to get it ordered for you. The customer service is outstanding. If you're looking for something new to read, just ask anyone at the counter for recommendations! I haven't been steered wrong yet with the comics they've suggested.
Ben Anderson
Edit: happy to see this place under new management. I've restarted my subscription and have been enjoying this store again.
This was my favorite store in the whole metro. I drove a half hour every month to pick up my comic subscriptions & preorders. Then, one day, they weren't there. The manager cancelled my account without notice. So, I'm cancelling my monthly trip.
The store, the employees, this place is great. But this isn't the first time I've heard people exasperated over whoever this clown manager is. I'm truly disappointed.
Michael Downey
A lot bigger than expected, with a wide variety of items, games, accessories, comics, graphic novels, cards and more. Very clean, nice staff, and has a playing area in the back. Number of events held for different games. Prices vary on items, some can be over priced such as board games, while others are well priced. Like anything, shop and compare for prices, some will be good others not so good.
Maddi Strom
Fantastic place for all things tabletop gaming :) An amazing variety of dice, minifigures, and handbooks, along with a great selection of board games and Magic the Gathering cards (other card games too, but the Magic Cards are my partners favorite) Alongside the gaming accessories, they have comics, manga, collectibles, and fandom merch as well.
The Source is one of my favorite geeky places to shop, their prices are reasonable and their selection is fantastic. They also have tables available for groups to play at but I've never used them personally.
Charles Brower
The Source is always a stop for me when I visit the metro area. I live in Brainerd and there isn't much up this way for this type of nerdary. They have a great selection and a knowledgeable staff with decent prices. My only gripe is they are 2 1/2 hours away from me, but I can't really sock them for that haha
Alex Mueller
Cool place! Great selection for comics, books, board games or role-playing games, general geeky memorabilia, and much more. Friendly and helpful workers. And, though I have not checked any out, there seem to be a lot of cool events going on there from day to day.
Elijah Steinbauer
The Source has the best selection for tabletop RPGs gaming miniatures in the twin cities. I always go there to pick up a PC miniature if its going to be more than a 1 shot. They also have paint for them.
The store also has a big comic book, board game, and book selections.
Eric Christen
Staff is very friendly. I love going here to play final fantasy tcg and by books/comics for my daughters. Prices are always legit too.
Dan Mizejewski
Used to gate this store but they really have upped their game. The singles are much better priced for MTG and they have come a long way in terms of the array of product. The only thing I recommend is more "vintage" Pokemon products and possibly Pokemon singles because few places carry them.
Ben Kranz
Always a great selection of games and comics. Staff is friendly and has steadily improved over the last few years. If you are looking for a hard to find board game there is a good chance they might have it.
Carter Potthoff
Wide selection of board games, tabletop rpg books, dice, miniatures, and collectables. Not too loud despite many people there. Staff is friendly and helpful. They have a membership card that gets you 10% off every purchase.
Dustin “Pip” Arnes
Helpful staff and so much to look at!
Justin “Coin Scout” Irvine
They have a wide variety of pop culture items, gaming items, paper, pen games, anime books, collectable card games and events for different games. They also have a couple if big sales per year.
The staff is always friendly. Don't forget to ask about their discount club which saves you 15% off of purchases for a year at the cost of $10!
Ruthi
Awesome store. Great selection of comics, graphic novels, board games, and trading card games. Their prices are competitive with online pricing. I have not been to one of their events yet, but they have a ton scheduled for almost every game I know.
JRob Zetelumen
This is the best comic book store in the Twin Cities. This is the place for comics, graphic novels, memorabilia, collectables, miniatures, Magic the Gathering cards, and even some costumes. The place is huge. They even have a large area set aside for gaming.
Susan Nance
My kids love this place. Went there to get gifts for their Dad. They are very knowledgeable of comics, games, retro 80's and 90's. They all had masks and require masks and provide for those that don't have them. Great place to go.
Jacob S. & Charles too.
Great selection of everything you need to geek out. whether its comics, cards or board games. Love the staff, they're great and super helpful. Also a great place to play with your new stuff.
Joey Diaz
In the Twin Cities, this is THE Comic and Games shop to go to. They have everything, they provide great gaming spaces, they are close to food places, they are easy to get to, and they have tons of parking. I have never come to this shop and been disappointed and it has always had a steady flow of business.
Johnny Gregg
This is the best place on the Eastside of the Twin Cities to buy singles. They will match TCGplayer for any card they have. That saves you money on shipping and you have the card in hand! They also have good turn outside for all of their MTG events. Also they let you order food to get delivered there. I love the Source.
Michael Brown
I love this place. The parking lot can fill up durring busy times. Street parking is allowed near by in appropriate places. I have parked behind the McDonald's next door, but do so at your own risk. I love browsing their store because I can always find something that I like. Staff has always been courteous and friendly.
Arianna Wills
The staff are helpful and it's full of Dnd players and other nerds. I had a lot of awkward/awesome conversations there.
It's awesome!
I also spend WAAAAY to much money there...
The curse of a dice dragon.
So many dice!
Mike Bougie
Great place for gamers and comic book lovers to meet and compare notes. If you are looking to play a game of D&D or other RPG games, their game nights engage games of all interests and backgrounds. Nice selection usually quite busy. If ya gotta leave the dungeon this is a great place to go.
John Muraski
This is perhaps my favorite feel place to go. They have just about everything from comics to DandD, warhammer, board games and everything in between. Staff are generally knowledgeable and friendly. A large gaming area is there that allows anyone to come, set up what they want to play and play. Love this place!
Maxwell Kuschel
Great place to get bulk magic cards (common/uncommon) I get a box of almost 200 for about $14 and you can sift through a massive amount of cards for any that you want! I love it, go there for hours to look at cards, no one bothers me and it's one of my favorite things to do now. Their comic selection is great, I don't think I've even looked through half of what they have and I've spent hours in those comic isles! But by far my main reason for coming back is the foreign magic booster packs they sell, haven't been able to find them anywhere else.
All in all my first choice is always Source for the variety that they offer, amazing customer service (one guy now greats me and recognizes me now and how friendly they are about it just makes me feel at home), and those foreign booster packs. Only complaint is the single card selection (higher price point than typical common/uncommons) for magic is smaller than other places I've been too. That being said the layout is by set, color, and commanders, which is amazing if you're just looking for random stuff as inspiration for new decks.
buppa gallati
Love the selection and most of staff are super helpful!
Rabblerouser Esdee
Real nice folks.
Ahren Schuhwerck
Love to spend time here looking at all the nerd supplies for myself and friends! Friendly and helpful employees! If they don't have something ask about it! I go here for all my comics, trinkets, D&D, and more. Would recommend!
Joe Snee
Great selection of comics, books, board games, cards, miniatures and all things comics or gaming related! Don't get me wrong, I love my local games shop, but when I can't find that one exact mini, board game, RPG handbook, card sleeves or deck box, I know my best chance of finding it in Minnesota is the Source! I've not participated in any of their community events, but I only hear praise from those I've heard from!
The parking is limited, but mostly because of how busy it is most of the time. It's not uncommon to find customers parked on the residential streets surrounding.
Jared Corvus
Great place to go, the staff has always been super helpful and nice to me, the place has tons of collectibles, a big games workshop section, lots of board games and everything you'd need in terms of mini painting.
Ian Rapson
A friendly local game store. Not my usual neighborhood location, but I found myself here after a child's birthday at the party place next door. They had a huge selection of board games. The friendly atmosphere was bubbling with excited energy - seems le a fun place to play games. We bought a game that was on sale and some dice. My daughter liked getting a free comic (a sponsored one on the register). Thanks!
Chris Pemberton
You cannot beat The Source for it's selection of miniatures, board games, card games, role playing games and comics in the twin cities. The only thing that is keeping me from a full five out of five is that the play area could be a bit better. Great store and a great resource for gamers.
Cyrus Kirby
The game and comic store I compare all others to and very few out match. Very large and complete game selection to peruse, big space to play, and a comic selection to make you swoon. Parent, Child, and Gamer Geek friendly with a knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help.
Austin (evenmonkeys)
This is one of my favorite places to visit in the Twin Cities area. We often visit almost every time we're in the area. While I'm not a big comic book guy, I do enjoy the collectibles and board games that they have. I could spend an hour walking up and down the aisles here looking at everything. During this visit, we didn't pick up a whole lot. But we found some LEGO minifigures that we really liked. These tend to be rather spendy secondhand, but their prices here were great. For those that want to play tabletop games, they offer that too! Play with friends or strangers. Good times!
Joshua
Staff are friendly, big selection, prices are reasonably priced. Oh and if you're a nerd like us, sign up for their rewards. Yes it's $10, but you receive 10% off. I just wish we had signed up sooner...
Andrew Harasymiw
This is the best comic and game store in the twin cities. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The culture is open to noobies and nerds alike. It's a safe place to learn about, share, and have fun with your favorite hero's and games, or maybe even a new one!
Jesse Murray
Huge game store with an amazing variety of card and board games along with comic books and a wide selection of fantasy novels. Staff is friendly and helpful. Great place for any Magic player or D&D addict
Skiler Miller
I want to give a shout out today to Dan Malson at Source Comics & Games. Not only did he message me personally about my ISO post yesterday, he had the books I was looking for waiting for me when I arrived, and gave me a personalized tour of the store. I left with 7 more books than I anticipated. If you've never been there, then you're definitely missing out.
Quintin Schneider
Great selection of board games, comics, card games and figures. Staff isn't the most diligent sometimes but have been helpful everytime Ive ordered something not in stock. Prices on board games are fairly close to Amazon + or -
Ryan Howard [CTG]
Great selection, events and prices, and there are some great staffers there, too. My biggest complaint is that when I make special requests on my pull list (say, asking for a specific variant cover), it is rarely fulfilled correctly. If not for that, I would give Source five stars, as it's a quality establishment in all other regards.
Kamran Hayat
Big store for table top gamers. Decent on selection. Now i understand that you can't hire employees that know all games but how can you have someone who has no idea what magic the gathering is is beyond me.
Mark K
This place is amazing and the staff is so friendly. Come on down and let your inner nerd come out.
Update as of 2022 "Still as awesome as it was before!"
Glad the source survived Covid!
Amanda (TheEyesofSyn)
Extensive selection of Manga, a delightful variety of tabletop books, dice, and comics. I was practically a kid in a candy store, they have a myriad of fantastic things that span near all of my interests, and active tabletop games occuring in the back portion of the store. I plan on returing and giving their dice collection and various tabletop rule books a proper look.
Alex Kaffka
Talk to Dayton for D&D! Really cool guy with great ideas. He's obviously an experienced DM.
This store is massive with the best selection of RPG dice and minis I've ever seen! The comic collection is another amazement! Must have to see if you're in the area.
Nate Gerry
Very fun place. Has a lot of good miniatures and building materials.
James Lynch
Source comics and games has got everything it's got your comic books it's got your miniatures, got your paints, your game books, and they do an awesome job of service to the game enthusiast community. Their products are all reasonably priced and often have great sales!
Troy Karkula
An amazing game store. Has all the comics and all the games you could ever want. I can't walk in without spending a hour browsing everything. It's also a great place to meet friends and play games.
Gaius Tullius
I love this store! I am not into comics but I enjoy Warhammer 40,000--and The Source has a great collection of 40k (and modeling supplies in general) in stock. In addition to their 40K supplies, The Source has some great terrain and tables where you can play your friends--which I have spent many an enjoyable hour doing. Just overall a really good vibe and a great store!!
k e
Fun group events for all ages
Becca Pitan
This place is enormous! I have never seen so many comic books and games in one place. It is like a Christmas wonderland of awesomeness. I was a bit intimidated going in, but I was lucky to be helped by a FEMALE staff member! YES! She was super helpful and knowledgeable, gave me other recommendations, and totally understood that there is a huge market for the ladies out there who are in to comics that are NOT sci-fi, fantasy, or superheroes. I walked in feeling like an outsider, and walked out feeling empowered.
Peter Heeringa
You really can't get better than the Source. Whether for casual games or the hardcore hobbiest the Source us the place to go. At gaming conventions I hear of stores in other towns and it makes me really proud to be an adventure club card holder at the source. They have what I want or they can order it. Knowledgeable staff, best selection, and the 10% adventure club card makes the Source my go-to option, even across town.
Kuj4k “Cardboard_x”
The greatest selection of board games anywhere! If you are into board games and looking to add to your collection this is the place to go. Also a very vast selection of comic books with new ones every week. This is a very large store not your typical hole in the wall gaming store.
Al #
This is a great store, but get your wallet ready, nobody leaves here without buying something!
Pretty much everything you could ever need gaming, comic, nerdom wise. Staff are friendly and informative and they host game nights and so on. Even if you just have a shred of nerd in your definitely check it out!
Nathan Wallace
Personally went here to check out their Manga selection and I was not disappointed. Lots of options to choose from and a helpful staff that was able to help me find books as well as give their own recommendations. I will definitely be coming back here. Not sure about their bathroom as They got me in and out so fast I didn't need to use it while at their store
Jonol Son
Great place to pick up games and comic. They even back some kickstarters and resell for a fair price!
Bob wagner
Spectacular staff and service. Burl really know his stuff.
Nick K
This is my happy place. I'm a gamer and there just isn't any other store that comes even close to the amount of miniatures, game books, and board games that they have. The staff have always been really good to me, with plenty of well wishes and friendly chats.
Ben Harkins
Amazing selection of board games and comics. The staff is super helpful, and there's a ton of space to play games. Be sure to make it to their special events, too - they're especially fun (but a bit crowded)
Casey Callahan
A friend brought me here in 2013 and they have the most extensive D&D mini inventory I've ever seen. I wish I was local so I can come back more often.
Randy Finch
Totally the best hobby/game store in Minnesota there selection is huge and have things for everyone
A. Dixon (Cipher)
Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection of dice. Haven't had a bad experience here yet. :)
Andy Meidinger
Absolutely amazing store! Super friendly and helpful staff with an amazing selection of everything, thanks again for all your help!
William Neve
Huge place filled with an amazing selection of comics, collectables, games and table top games. Great atmosphere, if I lived closer this would be a regular stop in my schedule! I searched for a comic I was looking for that was sold out in a lot of places and they had it!
Danny Grochowski
Large selection of comics, manga, figurines, books, and trading cards!
Staff are always happy to help out, especially when you both share a common interest.
Gen Kewatt
I love to paint they have great stock for miniatures. Helpful staff
Colin Jones
They have a lot of stuff, but it's all full retail price and the nerd level is very high. I like games and dnd as much as the next guy but this is like going into a foreign country. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly and even help to lighten to mood and provide a bit of non-basment-dweller energy to the place.
Ying Thao
I love it here!!! It's like a library for table top games, manga and comics.
Mathew Somlai
I love Source. Unbelievable selection of comics and games. Really well organized as well - easy to find youth sections, as well as similarly themed games grouped nicely. Great prices as well. Often bring the kids, 5 and 10, and feel very welcome.
Oliver Jonelis
Biggest baddest gamestore in the Twin Cities. Knowledgeable, friendly staff is quick to answer questions. A little overpriced on most games, but incredible selection is worth it.
Jonathan Grevenow
Huge collection of comics, figurines, boardgames and tabletop. Employees are friendly and helpful. Lots of tables for gameplay and even a section for painting your miniatures.
I knocked out a star due to organization. The 28mm mini's I was looking for were not in that section but with the gamebooks for that game. They also sort their boardgames by manufacturer versus all by name. I was looking for a game and I knew it's name but not the manufacturer and could not find it til I asked for help. Small issue since they found everything I was looking for quickly.
Reece Nauth
Great selection of items from comics, miniatures, books, and board games. Incredibly open space with lots of room to browse with great hours too. If you're looking for a product there's a good chance you'll find it here!
C Smith
An awesome place to check out some great comics. They have a ton of other stuff as well and they’re very friendly.
Millie Cedillo
Loved it! Excellent manga selection!
Eric
Very helpful and non-judgmental staff. I told them that the Marvel movies got me into comics and even that I am considering subscribing to Marvel online. They helped me buy an anthology book that summarizes the first 50 or so years of Marvel. I would highly recommend for Comics, board games and other things of that nature.
David Rust
A true Geeks Paradise! With plenty of space for gaming, plenty of choices for comic books and books, even from smaller Publishers! Their gaming selection is amazing, including older and sometimes out-of-print games from classic tabletop and board gaming sources!
Daniel Vopava
Magnificent selection, knowledgeable staff, with all the right books and games you want. I wish the staff weren't as intimidating. Only drawback is the elitist and unapproachable gamers who play on the tables near the bathroom -- but then again, that's something you get with *all* game stores. It's part of the territory.
Lars Teppo
Extensive gaming supplies for current and vintage games. They had books from all versions of D&D back to the first edition. They also had a huge collection of indie games and war games and figurines in addition to a large collection of comics. A fun place to spend a couple hours browsing.
Tessa Heathman
I visited the source looking for certain items of interest including comics, Warhammer 40k minitures, and other nostalgic items. The gentleman behind the counter were very nice and extremely helpful. They had some good deals in the shop nothing out of the normal price realm for these type of game stores. Had items that were a little harder to find and the Warhammer selection was phenomenal. They are also a Pokemon Gym :-)
Geoff Derks
For the best service, knowledge and welcoming atmosphere, come to the Source. Every employee is an expert at something. I only use the Source for my pull list (subscriptions) and comics, but there is a wealth of games, and many events for all different types of games and gamers out there. Everyone is welcome and someone is sure to point you in the right direction should you need it. Lisa, Grace, and many other reps (too many to name) are happy to help! Their Free Comic Book Day (first Saturday in May), Holiday Jubilee (winter event), and other events are also a plus!
Coach
Great game store!
Friendly staff and always welcoming!
Adam Wise
The Source, where do I start? One of my absolute favorite businesses, friendliest staff I've ever encountered, super helpful. They have a crazy selection, games, collectibles, you name it, and all the new comics every week. A chill gaming community that plays just about everything. They do all kinds of events and giveaways, I always look forward to going here.
Hurricane Mala
This hobby store has a lot going on. Its nice that they almost always have what I want or they are willing to get it. Typically, the prices are average or above. The staff are friendly, but they are usually really busy.
Brant Johnson
Terrific place. More comics than I imagined exist. Staff are always able to give good recommendations. Local creator section is a plus too.
E B
Cool place to go to even if just looking around. They stock lots of games and toys too. Staff has always been great. Their play area is not very impressive which could turn people to other options in the area. I wish their pricing was better thought. If it was I would buy more from them.
haybay gamer
Great place to buy just about any board games, manga, or cards you might need. Accompanied by friendly and helpful staff each returning visit is a delight
Andrea G
Has a good selection of games and comics. The staff are nice but always seem to have trouble with their computers when they ring us up. We also felt their store was somewhat disorganized if you're trying to find something in particular.
Zach M
I have literally never felt compelled to review something before this moment. Source is the best, Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Amazing events and people to share them with! Thank you Source!
Ken Stai
Fun place has everything comics and gaming and very big store a must stop
A. Brandt
This is a great comic book and game shop. The staff is always willing to help find whatever popular or niche items you may be searching for. They have weekly happenings from magic to D&D to Heroclix to Warhammer.
ManENames
So after Fall Comic Con I went to Source Comics & Games. Was completely caught by surprise of how big the place is. Had a "Randal Graves entering Big Choice video store" moment. Also I really like how they give discounts for vending at cons.
Daryl Budakowski
Excellent selection of comics, books, games, statues, etc. The only place I've found in the Minneapolis area that has it all. Prices are comparable to most other places. Truly a 1 stop shop.
Braxton Ray
This is the go-to place in the Twin Cities for nerd related merchandise. Their service is not the best given my several board game purchases there but the inventory availability and fun gaming environment are top-notch.
Derrick Denison
Huge selection of comics and games. The staff are super friendly and helpful. If you like Games-Workshop products, they have probably the largest selection other than the official store.
Ashley German
I've been going to the Source since I was a teen and I love it just as much now as I did back then. I do wish they carried a bit more anime collectable, but I also understand that's not really the audience this store is mostly catering to, so no worries (though I do wouldn't oppose it haha). They have a great and wide selection of comics in all ganres and art styles, graphic novels, anime, collectables, and of course, take top gaming. Huge amount of space to set up and play some games with your friends and tournaments and themed weekend events for everyone. If you're in the area and love comics and all that is nerdy, you'll love the Source!
Christopher Mogel
I've been checking this place out for a number of years and even went to their old location off Snelling and Larpentaur (Yeah, I've been checking it out for that long...) and they have a pretty incredible selection comics, models, and gaming supplies and materials. Pricing on most items in comparable with most places you'd find on EBay or online.
I'm a Star Trek Fan, so they have a limited supply of models and accessories in stock. It's cool - I'm not sure how popular they are. And they had a great stock of Eaglemoss models when their last series was out - all at standard retail.
As long as the items aren't discontinued, they're willing to order them for you for no additional fee. Feel free to ask at the register. Staff is great and will help you the best they can.
Jen Show
This is one of my favorite places to browse comics and games. My only complaint is that it is often hard to get volume 1 of trades/manga. The staff is more than happy to order them for you, but it makes it hard to pick up new series by browsing.
Rew MN
Facility is great, very large/spacious feeling. Lots of inventory, too! Comics, board games, tabletop RPGs, and more. If they don't have it, they can most likely order it. Also, they have a large venue section that seems to pull in plenty of folks.
Daniella Collier
So many choices for so many things!! I love going to The Source. The only downside for me is the pricing. A lot of times I find games / minis there that are significantly cheaper at other game stores. I'll keep coming back but will steer clear of those items.
Michael Dupay
Only criticism is the decision to group games by publisher over other methods. I think it might be easier to find titles if grouped by genre, but that may because I was looking for a small publisher's title and it wasn't where I expected, nor was it next to other titles they published.
Great place for nearly ever game and seems to have a great selection of manga titles (my daughter was pleased).
Wendy Hoskin
Awesome the peeps that work there really know their games and have an awesome vawereness of inventory. If it's not a gane they know well they get you in touch with someone who does. As well their knowledge on the Espionage make up line was exceptional and unexpected!
Lady Baddkitty
Whenever I'm in the area I try to stop here and take a look at the games and usually end up picking one up. Good atmosphere, good selection.
KnyfeWyfe
I have been going to Source for all my warhammer 40k minis. the service is always super fast and the employees are super friendly and helpful. Took away one star because getting to the store from the highway is a nightmare thanks to the little service road they are on.
Dan Black
I have a pull list here. Great store: huge selection, friendly & helpful, great atmosphere. Always a blast picking up comics. Oh, and their game nights are off the charts!
Sam Stewart
A deep inventory of a lot of different hobbies makes the Source a great game store to shop at. Also, the people who work there are good folks.
Matt Wahl
What is there to say that hasn't already been said. This store has been a fixture for years and will be here for years to come. Friendly staff. The best selection you can find, you can't go wrong.
Tanya Degurechaff
It's a fun store full of lots of things to satisfy nerds like myself. Comics, figures, cards, dice. Its great.
K Kane
Prices are a little a little higher on average, but the location and store feel iconic. Always a steady crowd of people perusing the extensive collection of mechandise. Large gaming area at the rear of the store as well.
Angelina Kyraha
Amazing comic and game store. I'm impressed with their selection of ttrpg material. The dice goblin in me wishes for a more expansive collection of dice but it's decent as it is now.
Matthew Deckert
Kind of a mixed bag. I've been to the Source twice now. Both times the staff have been unattentive, too busy cracking jokes behind the counter to ask if we needed Andy assistance. However the first time checking out the cashier was nice and answered our questions, and were friendly enough that I was excited to return for Magic on Friday. However on my next trip in (missed that Friday) the same issues were present, and upon check-out the casher was unenthusiastic, and made me feel like a nuisance for giving them my business. Overall they appear to have a diverse selection of geeky merchandise, however their Hit-or-miss staff make me wary of returning.
Ruben Tipparach
Lot of games, lots of discounts, great deals always! Very community friendly, my favorite place to shop!
Paul Easter
This store is great, and more importantly the staff is fantastic. After I left some feedback on a not-so-great experience (due to a small misunderstanding), one of the owners went out of his way to get in touch with me and explain why things went down the way they did Then he offered to set things right. These guys love what they do and take it seriously. You'd be crazy to shop anywhere else.
Jesse Voeller
Love coming to this place to get all my nerdy needs. From Magic cards to board games to paints for miniatures. These guys have it all. Great atmosphere and wonderful staff.
Michael Frisby
This place is great. A huge source of comics, boardgames, RPGs, and minis. If you can't find something odds are they will order it for you. Staff are really helpful and engaging.
Foomy
As a fan of both American comics and Japanese Manga, this place is fantastic.
Not to mention the sheer number of tabletop games, collectibles, and books available. I live in Green Bay, WI. but every time I stop by Minneapolis, I make sure to visit this store.
Jake Nelson
One of the best and biggest comics and games stories in the country. I'm kind of spoiled for visiting stores elsewhere, because very few compare. One of the most complete selections of RPG sourcebooks in existence, including a lot of long out-of-print material, and a great miniatures selection.
nyhtefall
No Transformers figures sold there
Matt G
Fantastic game and comic store, some of the best selection I've ever seen.
Rob Heim
The Source is a very large store. Lots of comics, board games, card games, etc. There is a gaming space in the back where all sorts of games or tournaments are held every day. Friendly and helpful staff. Love shopping there.
Wendy Frakie
The Source is a treasure trove of games, comics and all the accessories needed to have hours of fun. They also have tables in the back portion of the store for open gaming and a very knowledgeable staff!
PuPPeaZ
The store for board games, I enjoy buying a random recommend game from the staff. They never failed to recommend me board games based on the friends I want to play with. Now there is a collection and it keeps growing.
Tyler Roehning
This store has a huge selection of comics, games, miniatures, and more! The staff are friendly & knowledgeable. It has everything gamers and geeks could ask for!
Sam Schaust
Not much here for indie comic fans, but single issue buyers will find the store well stocked. Prices are okay, but hard to justify making a large comics-only purchase (as a sign of local store support) when just about everything on its shelves can be bought for as much as 50 percent cheaper online.
Holly & Nathaniel Olsen
I grew up with The Source (more than 30 yrs). It was always was an awesome place, especially for a white male such as myself. It has gotten even better since they made serious systematic to diversify and be more welcoming to all.
Matt Stoll
Overall, a solid store with a great reputation. The new location across from the HarMar mall is a big step up for them - ample parking, tons of space, nice layout. The staff leaves a bit to be desired at times when it comes to customer service, esp. with newbies (to be fair, though, those times are not very often). On the east side, I'm not sure you can find a better shop.
John Teisberg
It's the source! I've been spending money here since they used to be stationed on Snelling and Larpenteur ave. Only now am I finally getting around to posting an official review. Throughout my years, the Source has always been a fun place to visit. Weather I actually need something, or to kill some time. The staff is friendly and (usually) knows how to help. Sometimes incredibly busy, there is rarely a time where they seem shortstaffed. If I need something unlocked from a display case it's never more than a moment until I can get assistance. The place is clean, well lit, and above all; Organized. Back in the day the place used to be so cramped. Small isles, bad labeling, and worst off all, I always felt I was in someone's way. Only occasionally when it's really busy do I ever feel like that at The source's "new" location. Even to a new-commer, the place is well laid out and simple to navigate, whilst also having a huge selection of comics, games, props, knickknacks, and other collectables. 5/5
Doug Sahr
A great location for comic, gaming and hobby needs. Look for local events for most popular games.
Ajax Clean
Source is iconic for Minneapolis nerd culture and has a huge variety of comics, role playing games and magic the gathering cards.
Nicholas Wanamaker
This place is fairly good. They have a lot of comics, books, games, models, etc. Not a great selection for videos or collectables.
If you are looking for a place to play some games, they have an area dedicated to it that you can sign up to use.
Morgan Arntzen-Suess
The best vet staff ive ever worked with. Extremely knowledgeable about new trends in pet medicine and the only place in st cloud with reliable exotic care. Theyve taken care of all of my babies with an incredible amount of efficiency and compassion. They also try very hard to fit in regular patients for emergency appointments which is a godsend when you have pets with medical issues. I wouldnt reccomend any other vet in town.
J. J.
The Source is a Minnesota's center for tabletop games, comics, and card games. The variety and scope of the selection is incredible, and the staff in knowledgeable and always full of great suggestions.
Daron Schmit
Always a good time going to Source. Whether you're into comics, board games, wargames, RPGs, Source probably has what you're looking for. They've got lots of space for events too!
cameron chadbourne
Awesome place had lots of eye candy that could of kept me in there for days. Glad i brought someone with to bring me out...
Damian S
The Source is an institution in the world of nerd things. If they don't have something, generally they can order it. Plus the staff is super friendly and helpful. 10/10, will forever go to the Source.
Michael Doppler
I drive pretty long distances to get access to the huge library of Warhammer 40k stuff.
And they carry everything you'll need, brushes, magnifying visor, handles, etc. Prices are great, newer stuff might be cheaper on Amazon, but obscure or out of production stuff is there, and as cheap as it was at release.
Christian Wood
Biggest selection of board games I've seen in a store. There were a lot of great comics available, but selection did leave a little to be desired. Customer service was okay.
Andrew Strickland
Go to the Source. They truly are the source of great comics and games. They have a great selection of old comics and even older rpgs too! Check them out if you like comics, hobby board games, and collectables.
Brandon Leibfried
Always find something fun to leave with.
Martin Latimer
Huge star tons of product. Great staff. If you don't find what you're looking for here, they don't make it.
Yoshi Satoshi
Big selection of manga and comics. Huge area for tabletop games. Other cool items in store too
Alexander Szymanski
Incredibly knowledgeable about all parts of this nerdy hobby, and has only improved in customer service from the past. Friendly staff looking to help at every turn and an excellent selection of new, old and even some harder to find things. Great place with an open playing space.
Ryan Kalmoe
After going to a few late night drafts on Friday, I'm pleased to upgrade my review of the Source. Dan, the Magic guy, I'd the guy you want to see. He some makes the Source a very reasonable place to go. If for no other reason, check out the Source because of Dan.
S. Grace
Wish I lived closer so I could explore this place more often. Wonderful staff with tables to reserve for table top games. A treasure of a store like this would be a hit back east.
Joel Maunula
The best selection of TTRPGs, comics, and boardgames. Often have Kickstarter Exclusives that you won't find other places, so if you missed a popular Kickstarter in TTRPGs, there's a good chance they'll have your fix.
Andrew Meyers
Friendly employees, great atmosphere. Purchased one Evolving Skies booster box and pulled my chase!
S P
This FLGS is EXCELLENT. They encourage all sorts of gaming. They went out of their way to make room for my group to game, they have a very wide variety of offerings and reasonable prices. I hate the chairs they have there though, so I'll remember to bring a pillow next time.
Be Xi
Cool place to check out and take your kids. They also have some fun non-competitive tournaments for kids too from time to time. :)
Kirsten Mulroy
Always a great experience. Friendly staff, and great selection. They will also order comics that they don't have. Love their subscription service. Highly recommend!
Raymond Wenzel
I like the Source but feel like it has changed, it seems like most of the people working there are not excited to be working there or about what they are selling. In fact I go to the source atleast 2 times a month since they have moved to the new location and just last week was the first time an employee talked to me and seemed excited for the game I was looking at.
Considering how the retail market is now days I would think that the Source would want to have top notch service to compensate for selling at retail price.
Vaughan “Nammakofish” Kamman
Excellent collection of figures and games (comics too ofc) everyone was so nice and all at good prices
Matthew Dickson
I always live going to this store. Even if all I do is look and check out what's nee. Everything is clean and organized. Friendly knowledgeable help is always close by. Great place for my inner nerd.
Dominic Slauson
Source has a wide selection of comics and games. In addition to this, if you are a D&D or miniature enthusiasts, they've got quite a bit of figurines, paints, and other supplies. They also have tables in the back of the store to play on.
Jay Peterson
Great place, friendly staff that is truly willing to go above and beyond for their customers. They have a great selection of Comics and Games as well and you can stop in on certain nights and play those games.
Adam Forsgren
My absolute favorite hobby and games shop. Great community, knowledgable staff, and every kind of geeky product my heart could desire. I wish I could live here, blanketed in an assortment of polyhedral dice and graphic novels.
Sumeet Raina
Great collection, great atmosphere and service
Pete Henderson
Decent store, great staff. Just lacking the stuff I am looking for, which is ok. They have good selection of games and other items.
Rachel Wynne
Great place for anything gaming! If they don’t have it, they will get it for you! I’ve been going here for two decades! They even had manga before it was popular.
S F
This has to be one of my favorite places for board games and comics. The staff are respectful and actually play the games or read the comics.
Timothy Jaszewski
This place has a great staff and great selection. Overall it's a really good space and good place to try games. The return policy is pretty flexible so if you get a game you don't like, you can pretty much always return it
Charlie Morgan
It’s never a bad time when you go to Source! Something for every spectrum of nerd. A welcoming, incredibly helpful staff and a VAST selection of fun stuff.
Kevin Melby
My favorite FLGS! They carry all sorts of games (board, card, RPG, etc...). They also carry comics (as their name says). Along with that, they have a game room in the back for use (no charge). But if you want space on the weekend or afternoon/evening, call ahead to reserve. On Wednesday, they host D&D 5e Adventurer's League, and consistently have 11 tables full (starting at 6:00, ending at 9:00), and occassionally host an DDAL Epic.
Marissa Husnik
Friendly knowledgeable staff who love what they do, not to mention a vast variety of all things geekery. They hold lots of events and it's just in general a fun place to hang out. Easy to access and the prices are fair in my opinion.
James Livingston
This place is amazing!
It's the Midwest comics Mecca, also plenty of board games, decent M:tG offerings and piles of Warhammer fare.
That were very friendly and personable as well.
Jacob Yang
My boys and I play the pokemon league here. They do the job. I don't expect great service from us geeks, lol. But with that said, a couple of the guys there are really cool once you get them talking. They have everything I need for card games. They can be a bit pricey on some things. The collectable card game prices are good. The don't jack up those products beyond the MSRP and if you sign up for the source club membership $10, you get 10% off your purchases for a year. It helps and shopping there helps them to provide a place for the community to play.
Mike Drinane
Great place for comics and games.
Dustin Fenton
Love this place best comic collectible shop I have found In the area
Kate Lanning
A huge selection of games, and they were easily able to order any comics they did not have on site. I also found an awesome omnibus I was not expecting to find.
Sam
Excellent selection and staff. The only place in town I know of that has pretty much the entire line of chessex dice. Also great place for Vallejo paint and products as well as the mecha line of paint.
Troy Small
One of the best and largest game stores in the region, plus “The Source” has always been a great supporter of the local gaming and convention scene in the region as well. I would recommend this place to any gamer.
Joshua “Josh” Lehinger
A great place with a large variation of tcg's, comics, collectibles and more. Not to mention that they have Friday night magic almost every week. Be sure to stop in on the 1st Saturday in May every year for Free Comic book day and grab bags. It is located next to Eriks Bike shop with which it shares a parking lot. On the other side of the fence from McDonald's
Jake Dowell
This place has anything you could ever want if it's comics, board games or even wargaming. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable. I try to stop by at least once a month to pickup whatever I may need or even just to browse.
Craig MTRGoose
Place either has all your comic book wants or can get it. Ample gaming area. Large selection of all types of games. Helpful knowledgeable staff.

Excellent selection of Comics, gaming books and miniatures. Nice spacious gaming area that is kept clean. The staff is very friendly, and helpful.

Nice comic book and gaming place, some collector things as well. Big space, not TARDIS big mind you. They also have snacks, candy and many gaming tables in the back, which is actually the front. What what?

Reid Ronnander
Best selection of comics on the Twin Cities! Have a lot on stock, and will order anything else. Also a good selection of board games and fantasy/sci-fi books.
Paul Vandyke
The best selection in the metro. I was a bit disappointed to see the selection of used TTRPG materials (especially the really old school stuff) disappear though.
Stacey Danner
Amazing! With the best bathroom ever!
Jacob Scharff
Great selection of games, comics, and miniatures. Join their frequent purchaser's club and get 10% off all purchases (excellent deal when building a new Warhammer army).
Eric Haugen
Unbeatable selection, and very friendly staff. Sure, you can get some things cheaper online, but I'd prefer to support the local store and you should too if you have the means.
