Common Ground Games - Dallas, Texas

Conrad Jacob

Cool space with a great selection of games! There’s plenty of space to sit and play, a whole wall of demo games to play for free, and a big shop area. There are private rooms you can pay to rent out as well.

This store was recommended by a student of mine, and I cannot say great enough things about this place. We stopped in just to scope the place out, were greeted, and after a while were approached by Elijah, asking if we needed help. After asking about our interests, he matched us to some board games, making suggestions along the way. In about 10 minutes, we had 8ish recommendations that fit what we wanted and needed in a board game.

This place is BIG. Everything is neat and tidy. Take your time looking around and you're sure to find gems. They have a discord too, so you can stay in the know on their latest events. We were told that every Thursday they demo board games, and if you buy the board game being demoed that night, you get 10% off.

Also, if you're looking for Pokemon card singles, they have them! They have kiosks (computers) to the left of the double doors that you can order from their catalog.

While we didn't buy anything on our first visit, we will certainly be coming back! Thank you for providing such great service 🙂

My first visit, and a very nice discovery. Thr store is mostly well lit and certainly tidy. The staffers are friendly and helpful. There are tables with space for at least 60 players, maybe more other days but today they're having a clearance sale that's using considerable space. There's an extensive library of demo games, that's nice !

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I was looking for a specific game and they quickly guided me to where it was. I was looking for an expansion and they educated me on which expansion was the one I actually needed. I have wanted to get into D&D for a long time but never knew where or how to start. Between the QR codes for beginners on the shelf and the friendly guys at the counter I was able to find a great starter kit! Getting into certain games can be intimidating when you're not sure what you need to start or how much if investment it will take. I am really thankful they pointed me in the right direction to start my D&D adventures! They even do game nights during the week and have games you can play in their game room free of cost. I drive 40 minutes to this shop and it was so worth it. I will be back soon for some fun colored dice!

Great store with incredibly knowledgeable staff and a big area for tabletop games. I come here mostly for Warhammer 40K and they always have the models and paints I need. Staff has also helped answer painting questions that I’ve had!

We went to look for a gift and asked Elijah for a game recommendation. He gave us five recommendations based on what this person likes. He knew which games were new, what is popular, how the games play, and what the benefits of each game would be. He knew the makers of the games which ones won awards and which ones were runners up. I could research for hours online and not find as thorough of an answer as I got in a few minutes. It was well worth the visit.

Great selection of games and toys. The staff is always very helpful and, more importantly, there's a lot of great space in which to play some games. Sure, some of the hours don't allow you to play games late into the night except on Fridays, but it's a great place to stop by and check out their library of demonstration games and try out the games before you buy them. I've been going here for the past eight years, including their old location, and would highly recommend that other individuals come here to make their board game purchases and play games themselves. If this place served coffee and maybe some sandwiches and food it'll probably be a pretty cool cafe with some board games, just some wishful thinking!

Bought quite a few items from this store over the past year, give or take. Generally speaking I love their selection and it’s great to have a store like this in the city of Dallas. Although their system for trade in of cards needs refining. I called today 20 minutes prior to entering to see if they had the availability and the staff to do a trade in. I was told they in fact do, upon getting to the store again. Roughly 20-25 minutes after my call I walk up to the counter only to be told by the employee working they are done. I don’t know if the employee just arbitrarily decides when to no longer accept trades, but I don’t appreciate wasting my time driving over there especially when I called previously to confirm they could.
