Charging Near mint pricing on MP quality card. If I didn't need it for a tournament soon I would have waited to pick it up. Card has wear all around it. Definitely only come here if you absolutely can't wait for something to ship in.Update: went in today and talked with who I assume is the owner and he told me he priced the card at HP. While still higher then I expected definitely one I would have held off on. He did offer to return the card and give me my money back but I do still need it. So in that matter I consider it unresolved. The staff while quiet is helpful to the customers that came in. Overall it's your choice wether to go here or not. Personally after these last 2 trips I can say I probably won't be back unless I absolutely have to.

Purchased something online from them and they very poorly packaged it, so it showed up damaged.

Great local card shop. Great place to War game, they are a Games Workshop retailer along with most TCG's. Friendly and helpful staff, I spent 3 hours picking the brain of Jeff my first time in. Answered any and all questions, made recommendations.The community here is phenomenal as well, super welcoming and willing to teach. Great place to pick up your bits and Bob's and grab a quick pick up game.

Steve the owner dealt with my 15 year old son Cory and was professional without be condescending. Answered his questions politely and offered explanations.Cory said as we walked in “I could live at this store happily.Thank you Steve and Champion Gaming.

I was recommended this place by a friend. I came all the way up from Southeastern PA to check out this shop as I heard good things about it. I was gonna be in Poughkeepsie for the day and decided to pop by. I was assisted by several staff members who were very polite, friendly , and knowledgeable. As a MTG player I felt like a kid in a candy store. In my local area I’m accustomed to seeing maybe 2-4 display cases of mostly obscure powerful cards that aren’t useful to alot of deck themes. Upon entering this store I was surprised and ecstatic to see several dozen cases full of staple cards. They had binders of mostly every magic set. I spent about 3 hours digging through binders grabbing things I couldn’t find in any of the 5 shops I frequent in my home area. The staff member who assisted me was very helpful. I felt so bad throwing an entire decklist on them. They reassured me I was fine and didn’t give me any sense of growing impatient . I paid a very good price for them and was very pleased with my experience. I traded some cards in towards my overall purchase total and feel very pleased that I got a good deal. I turned 7 cards I wasn’t using into a very powerful reserved list card. I left with 75% of a new deck done and found several staple cards for my other decks. The players who were at the shop were also very nice and welcoming of me into their community. I’d definitely make the 2 1/2 hour trip again for the wonderful experience I had. Thanks a lot guys! You’re an awesome store

Excellent physical space and a commitment to supporting the card game community!Champion is hands-down the best card shop in the area: their product selection is immense, their employees are involved and well-versed, and the community they foster is welcoming and engaged. Plus, regular MTG and Pokemon tournaments with good turnout and fair pricing. I strongly recommend!

I have been going here for years and the attitude of staff has only gotten worse. Used to have stellar employees who would offer fair prices for MTG singles and a reasonable trade in value.Now staff seems irritated when you ask for a box/binder to look at or counter an offer they make. They have a good collection but it is clear they do not want to sell cards as they look for the highest price of either TCG or Starcity.I want to support my local LGS but if you go the highest price we cant make a deal. I rarely go because it is not worth the time or aggravation.

A month ago my brother inlaw messaged me asking if I needed any cards I asked a price on a specific card he asked the owner and then told me said price. I asked him to purchase the card for the price the owner gave him. A day after they call then text him trying to get the card back he let them know he didn't have it. Fast forward to today he walks in to the store and is told he can nolonger shop at the stop because THEY mispriced the card and they couldn't get it back over all bad business and extremely immature.

Best game store in the Hudson Valley. Massive selection of rare magic and pokemon singles, more warhammer models than you can find anywhere else. Beautiful custom gaming tables. Helpful and knowledgeable staff make for a great environment.

Terrible shop. Banned a friend of mine for buying a card they undersold, demanded back and complained about. If you sell an item, and take money for it, that purchase is final. Maybe the employees should pay attention more and stop whining over their mistake.

Steve at Champions was a huge help and great person to deal with regarding Pokemon cards. He was a great resource and very patient. We would highly recommend him and his shop!

Great prices for everything and some of the nicest and most knowledgeable staff I've encountered at any business. They know the importance of building a community around tabletop games, and their patrons reflect this.
