Game Kastle (Ankeny)

We use to love coming here for our table top wargaming supplies. On our last visit, we noticed the paint selection and miniatures have all been moved and minimized. Feels like this sore is truly only for the gaming/ card player audience now. Staff was friendly as always, just disappointed in the supply changes.

This is my go-to place for painting miniatures. The staff is friendly, and there is a dedicated area for us to enjoy our hobby with friends. I now run painting classes every Sunday at 1:00, so come out for a free figure to paint and tips on how to make it table ready!

Called ahead of time to see if they would buy bulk for magic. The manager on duty said that would be fine and their regular price is 5$ per 1000 which is a ok rate. Then when I came in. He warned me that he can’t get me that rate any more because he donated his personal collection to the store. I don’t know how that should be my problem. I drove 2 hours to get there. He then called the owner and she said no to the bulk. Don’t go here. They are not a good place to go to. Go to Meyhem or Jays.

Great place for MTG, D&D, and basically everything board game/TCG related. Friendly staff, and Friday night MTG and pre releases have always been a blast!

Great staff and opening for gaming. Has or can get about anything your looking for. Growing and expanding everyday. Pics from a recent Marvel Crisis Protocol event

Went here a few times recently for pokemon singles, they have very little and nothing new. And this is because they have employee only boxes where they horde all of the Pokémon cards they want. Look at Rebbeca’s box it is almost an entire ETB full of cards. And they have been there every time.. smh better chance at Jays or Mayhem. Don’t waste your time or money here!

The largest and nicest play area in the area. The events they host for TTRPGS and card games are always well ran. Their sealed products and card cases are usually well stocked and priced well. They also have many bulk boxes for pokemon and magic organized by set. Overall the experience is tailored for players rather than collectors but it is worth a check out if you haven't been.

Employee Rebecca was outstanding. Definitely coming back. I went here for the first time to pick up some Pokemon sleeves and immediately was greeted by a very kind employee who introduced herself to me by the name of Rebecca. She was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the products in the store. I initially went in with the plan to spend ~$15 but ended up spending ~$100 thanks to her awesome recommendations and I am very happy with the products. Game Kastle definitely earned a new customer thanks to Rebecca's kindness, character, and ultimately help finding products.
