Back in July, I lamented the closure of Dragon Knight Games, a local game store just over a mile from my place. The sign on the door was a cryptic promise of moving to a new location. Time passed and I thought it was just another game store demise.
Awhile back, I was driving past the local movie theatre, and caught a Pokemon window cling in a door, and an open sign. It took a bit of time and some research, but it appears Time Walk Games is some semblance of the remains of Dragon Knight.
Location: The old Evolution Games/Sword in the Stone location was around the corner and parking there was questionable at best for a casual visit. The corner of E. Northampton and S Main in Wilkes-Barre is even worse, with limited storefront parking, paid parking lots and metered parking around the corner.
If you're a gamer attending Wilkes University and King's College? It's perfect.
Miniatures: A limited number of Games Workshop boxed set... I did pick up some nice flight bases during my visit.
RPGs: Nada
Accessories: Not a whole lot, the set of official D&D dice that stared at me at Dragon Knight resumed its staring when I walked in the door.
CCGs: The obvious bread and butter. They carry Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and noted Star Wars Unlimited and Lorcana there's a full case of singles.
Events: I believe there was a pretty full calendar, with Magic (Wizards Certified) and a host of other CCG and GW wargames. This is 100% their bread and butter.
Food: Drinks and snacks!
I'll be honest, it's pretty sparse, and I showed up on a lull day. But they circumvented my one pet peeve by saying hello when I walked through the door, so I'm going to root for them.
With inconvenient parking for an out-of-towner and a general lack of stock, I'm giving Time Walk Games one and a half Gnomes out of five Gnomes. If you're local, love playing in-store, and can fight against Wilkes-Barre parking, please try them out, and I hope you have fun!
Time Walk Games is located at 10 East Northampton St in Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701
