This review will be short and to the point. This game store is excellent and also the best in the area in my humble opinion. They have pretty much any board game or trading card game you could want, and staff is really helpful and gives good tips and advice. They hold magic and pokemon tournaments here as well. They have game accessories like play mats and sleeves as well. They have snacks and drinks for purchase and a small little game library you can check a game out of and sit down and play. Gotta check this place out if you're in Salem or looking for a game for your next game night!

Terrible customer service, and regular mfg suggested retail prices. Went there today to get some paints for miniatures and stood in line to make my purchase for 20 minutes, with product in-hand. The cashiers were helping two customers with MtG Cards: looking up prices, going over lists... People behind me finally bailed 10 minutes in but I wanted to support a local business so I stayed and waited. Total waste of my time. The cashier couldn't have said 'please let me help out this other customer real quick and we can go back to your MtG questions.'? Nope. 20 minutes later, I gave up, placed my purchase on the counter and walked out, like the people that were behind me. Wild Things Games has only one positive for me: I can window shop before I go on Amazon and buy the same item faster, cheaper, and with better service. This is an MtG game shop only. Go elsewhere if you want to buy anything else, and even if you do shop MtG, roll the dice on service and good luck.

We have gone here for quite a few things in the past recently disappointed in service in regards to Pokemon cards ,my son tried to trade a card that we looked up that was worth a little bit money that he had gotten early for Christmas and when we got to the card shop they tried to give us like 90 cents for it even with multiple online information showing we should have gotten like five bucks. Wish there was another shop in town we could go to with the disappointment we have been running into recently at this game store

I went in to buy a gift for an employer toy drive for a child I don't know and items I'm not familiar with. The person at the counter who helped me was very understanding, helpful, and provided great customer service. I got in and out quickly and with just what I needed!

Great deals and super friendly staff that helped me find everything I was looking for and even encouraged my less nerdy friends to give stuff a try! Loved my visit, love this store.

Great place! You can chill and work on your decks, play pick up games with other people hanging out, trade with players and the shop, and decent value for all their products as well as having a huge selection for any of your tabletop gaming needs!

Second star for clean, attractively laid out interior and unimpressive but decent product selection. But it is functionally impossible to buy anything here. Staff hold meandering half hour long conversations where they explicate the design of a game to a single, non paying customer while a line of waiting customers piles up, ebbing only as members get discouraged and leave but never because an actual transaction is made and a new customer addressed.

Very friendly Yu-Gi-Oh community, its tons of fun to hang out. The prices are pretty reasonable, and they always support you opening packs while hanging out!

Tiana helped me with the Doctor who set of MTG and was accurate, timely, kind, and professional. If the rest of the store is like Tiana then I would highly suggest this shop.

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

Good in store service but lacking in online/phone customer service. I recently moved to the area and was looking for a good LGS. this is one of few in the area that I was able to locate. I visited and they have a great card games selection and a decent selection of other games. My main issue has been special ordering items and a general lack of customer service in this regard.I ordered some items including a Collectors edition of a rule book. I understood that the special edition might be out of stock when they ordered. I get a call of the day before the items go on sale. I am told my items are there and ready for pick up first thing tomorrow, great! I get there to find out that the collectors edition was sold out and I was not ordered or had a basic edition set aside. Now the basic edition is also out of stock meaning I now have an incomplete set. A game with no rules.I should have been contacted when part of my order was not available to see if I wanted to cancel. I should have been asked if a basic edition was an acceptable substitute. I should have been told when called to get my order part of it was unavailable.Weeks later I see the basic edition of the rule book is available again. Call to see if a copy has arrived for me, nope. Ok i need some more items for the game. tell them I want to order the items so they can be ready to pick up with the rule book when it does arrive. They stop me mid list to go check the shelves for the items. They have some 90% of it, nice. I ask if they are going to be held for me as I had mentioned I wanted to pick everything together. They do not do unpaid holds. So what was the point of checking the shelves? Either way I buy the items over the phone and order the remaining items.At current I would stop shopping there if I didn't have a large sum of store credit that I got from selling some old cards.

Great store with such a wide array of great products to buy from. From card games to table tops to comics. Great place for it all.

What a great store. We were in Salem to visit Willamette U and had about an hour to kill. My kids love games and we were possibly interested in getting a new one. They didn't have the one we wanted, but they have a library of demo games that you can play, and we were welcomed to sit and play for a bit. We had a great time - it was clean, quiet (in the middle of a weekday) and they are great to let people hang out and play for free. My only quibble is the decor is a little dark for my taste - I love the vibe at Modern Games in Bend, but that store charges you to stay and play. We'll definitely plan to come back and support this store next time we're in the area.

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

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