This is a very interesting place. It's definitely under renovation but if / once those are finished it looks as if it would be a very cool place to game.

They have a large selection of out-of-print GW items. Some board games, role-playing games but nothing amazing.

Owner was very cool. I defin...

Absolutely the worse and most amateurish shop of its kind in the area, if it even could qualify as a gaming shop. It barely does. The owner is a cheapskate and does not have in-depth knowledge of the products he scalps. He is clearly an outsider to serious gaming who is just out for a quick buck. Ga...

I was in the market for some out of print models and was pleased to find them at their website. Delayed shipping due to Covid and their remodel which I'm totally ok with. My items ended up getting lost in the mail and was tracked down quickly for me. Awesome customer service and answered every one o...

Terrible lighting. All the merchandise was in disorganized piles. The unending bagpipe music was way too loud, enough to hurt my ears and make it impossible to think. I drove there all the way from State College only to be severely disappointed. Tim, however, is a great guy. He just needs to ge...

I have been going to Gatehouse Games since I was a kid, over 15 years ago. I started with the Pokemon TCG, then as I grew interested in the table top games, I turned to Tim, the owner, to guide me on my way. I have since built 2 Warhammer 40k armies, several faction armies for WARMACHINE, two fleets...

I spotted this place while getting gas at Sheetz. My wife and I were just passing through, so are not familiar with the area. My inner nerd told me to look that direction and the front facade caught my attention, so immediately good job there!! I am a casual Magic the gathering player so I decided t...

I have gone in to Gatehouse multiple times for Magic, but recently I had asked about other games. Tim the owner helped me find games that I was unaware of and helped me find one that I liked. He didn't have the starter kit for that particular game so I emailed him asking if he could order it for me....

Went to the store twice and both times I like the customer service the guy there is very helpful and he could tell you things for days about warhammer40k factions, he knows what he's talking about and both times he was always friendly. He gave me tips on painting and now I can grow being a painter. ...

Hands down the best game shop I've ever been into across the globe. Owner Tim is knowledgeable about all his products and shows genuine interest to all his customers. The shop is spacious with a lot of room for gaming as well as having tables for Warhammer setup. He has a lot of stock on hand of pre...

One of the employees (Jeff Dietzel) is very arrogant and refuses to answer questions when your are genuinely open to being corrected. Asking a simple "why" will get you shut off. Not friendly to those who are looking for answers to their questions.

The people who think this is a great game store have obviously not been to a lot of game stores (since this is the only one in the area). The selection of minis was huge, but the selection of board games was poor, and poorly treated. Not willing to bulk discount the old CCG packs that have been sitt...

Don't come here for board games. Small, dark corner and limited selection. Nothing is priced and when I asked about prices he said they're all msrp. He actually said people don't like stickers all over games. The brand new games were all in shrink wrap, so price stickers wouldn't hurt a thing. I...

Tim is a very smart and helpful guy. His shop has a major inventory of different tabletop games and schedules for when events happen in house. You will never feel pressured to buy anything but his recommendations are great and pointed to your needs.

I love stopping in to check these guys out! Not only does the place look like a freaking castle, but the owner plays THE BEST MUSIC, prices are totally reasonable, and I've learned something new each time I visit. Super helpful and excited owner seems genuinely interested in what I'm working on.
