Ive always wanted to go inside to see what TBS had to offer, but the store moved to the current location. Let me assure everyone who may read this, but this IS the one stop place for your gaming needs! They have games from A to Z , and everything else in between too. The staff has been super great! If one goes in and tells them what they are looking for the find it, or can order it. The other thing is they ship from the other store, and in my case I was told it may be the next day, but no later than Monday. I stopped in on Friday, and by Saturday night my request was already there, but I wasnt expecting it until Monday! Im not sure if they set up times for game players to play, like rent tables, but every time Ive gone in, there has been at least 2 or 3 tables with games going on. One time they had a competition going on, and I was invited to come and watch! I always thought I was the only one in our area who liked to play card games, miniature games, and board games, but there are lots of folks who play. My choice is Star Trek Attack Wing, and TBS will always have my business long after this game stops making material for it. I just cant express how much of a Great Experience it has been going in to see everything, the players, and the staff. Please stop by, and take it all in, and you, the reader, will not be disappointed.

Sooo... I dont know who this Kevin Johnson guy is (but, all of my techno-savvy skills point to it being a fake account), but Ive been to a few gaming stores all over Pensacola, through the past 14 years, and Ive never had as much help and assistance from any other place as Ive had there. Being a person who is not exactly a social butterfly (more often than not, I dont talk to anyone), I was welcomed with open arms and glowing smiles from all of the personnel who work there, and can actually count more than a couple of them as friends. Although I dont buy many board games, table top games, or comics (I get far too bored reading comics), it is still a place I can go to and feel comfortable and welcome. The staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable on a multitude of products, and the few times that I HAVE bought a board game, Ive bought it through them because I can just say, "Hey, (insert name here), what do you think of this game? Is it like Risk? Maybe Monopoly? Is there a version of it that comes in Hello Kitty motifs?" and I always get a polite answer, an explanation of the game, how it works, and they dont even make fun of my fondness for eccentric materials. So yeah... gotta love fake accounts!

I have been meaning to write a review for a long time. But I have been too busy enjoying my time at TBS in Pensacola. It is hard to explain, but TBS, to me, is more than just a "store." That word does not do it justice. Yes, you can buy anything you want and need at TBS, and they have a ton, but TBS is an experience. Anyone who has never been there is really missing out. If you are a gamer of any sort, whether its cards, board games, clix, deck builders, living card games, miniatures, etc., you will have a blast. There is a ridiculous amount of space to game. The new location is amazing!! Everyone is a friend. The acceptance amongst fellow gamers and collectors is unlike anything you will experience anywhere else. I know first-hand. None of the other places can compare to TBS. Its not close. Its not a debate. TBS is Hulk and the rest are a little boy who uses finger paints to color himself green. To make a long review short, TBS is a destination. It is a place where you want to shop, hang out, game, meet people, and just be accepted. I cant recommend it enough. Just go. Drop the controller. Grab your keys. Go. Have fun.

I wouldnt suggest playing with or in any even hosted by this establishment due to the people who frequent it. Case in point: (Name Removed) gunna be fun!!! Like · · Unfollow post · 3 March at 14:29 (Name Removed) You wish you could play in tbs sponsored events. 4 minutes ago · Like (Name Removed) firstly, way to show your immaturity, secondly its a public event on public property not private, so to bar me from playing would be discrimination, so by all means try, but there will be ramifications. 3 minutes ago · Like (Name Removed) Fun for everyone who doesnt cheat at a card game, wake up call youre banned for being a douche... And ginger. 2 minutes ago via mobile · Like (Name Removed) I see so you and tbs are discriminating against me. You should know a:) no proof of me ever cheating was ever presented b:) it is illegal to discriminate against people for the way they look. Unable to post comment. Try again The antagonist in this situation is a frequent player at the store and a friend to the majority of the players there and/or the employees. Not a place i would want my kids or myself to support.

I have been using TBS comics for over 2 decades, and now I have introduced my son to the store. Back in the day as a teenager we were chasing books for AD&D 2nd edition. When you walked in the store, the employees talked to you like you were a long lost friend. Today, TBS has the EXACT same feel. Great people, great clean environment, and many different options in games and comics. If you were that kid that used to play D&D, you owe it to your children, or your adult friends to dust off the books, invite people for a character build or card game night. When you do, use TBS comics for your supplies. Just the fact that this store is still open is a testament to how wonderful it is. Speaking for the "old" D&D dorks, it has and always will be, a second home to us. Spread the word. If your kids are playing card games or D&D, at least you know where they are and what they are doing. Happy gaming!

TBS is the Cheers of the comic/gaming stores in Pensacola! Ive been going there for a little over 7 years now and every time I walk in Im greeted with a nickname Im been given from the players and owners of the store. There are other game places in Pensacola that are very nice as well and very friendly, but I wouldnt leave TBS to go play or purchased primarily anywhere else for anything. Ed the owner is awesome and friendly and loves the things he sells as much as you do. Its hard to find a place that cares enough to learn your name when you come around because they truly want to know you and treat you like a family. I found one in TBS. Come in and ask for Ironbrow and ill sing these praises in person. I look forward to seeing you and maybe playing you in a game or two!

This store is one of the most wonderful places Ive ever been to, they have friendly workers, great prices, and a great place to relax and hang with other people, they also host competitions and tournaments allowing everyone to play the games they buy even if they dont have any friends in the area. This store sales board games that you cannot find anywhere else in town as well as card games, not to mention the abundant amount of comics, figures, and and game accessories you can buy as well. Also the workers are especially nice people, I dont think Ive ever been in a shop so welcoming until I came to this one and I now make sure to come to this shop as much as possible when Im in the area. Give this place a try.
