The Connection Games & Hobbies

B Side Games is a local tabletop game store with a selection of games and trading cards. Customer experiences are polarized: some praise the helpful owner, fair pricing, and organized selection, while others report rude, unwelcoming staff, poor trade-in policies, and a hostile atmosphere. The store carries board games, TCGs (Magic: The Gathering), and accessories like card sleeves. No mention of RPGs, miniatures, comics, events, play space, or game library.

BattleGround Breakers is a card shop in Spokane with a strong focus on Pokémon cards, offering individual cards and packs. The staff is consistently praised as friendly, polite, and great with kids. The store has a cool vibe and features an arcade game and a spin-to-win game. They also serve boba drinks. Inventory can be low due to scalpers, but they get cool new stock regularly and notify subscribers via text. The shop is considered one of the best card shops in the area.

Bear Totem Table and Tankard is a welcoming game store and gaming bar in the Hillyard business district. It offers a wide selection of miniatures, board games, RPGs, and TCGs, with recent Warhammer inventory. The store has a ground-floor restaurant and serves beer on tap upstairs. Play space includes many tables for multiple groups, with dedicated areas for D&D, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer, and miniature painting. Events include D&D one-shot nights (first visit free), Commander nights, and themed days. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive, not a 'sweaty' game shop. The owner Seth is praised for his hospitality.
