Atmosphere was great. Plenty of tables to accommodate a lot of people. Only issue was that with that many people parking was very hard to find in the parking lot next to the building.

Lots of games including some more recent releases.

Food is a little expensive but tastes very good.

Fantasy Flight Games Center is an amazing environment where friends and family can go to experience adventure and excitement. The food is great, the staff is friendly, and the space is huge. Lots of tables to play games on. Best yet you can purchase amazing games produced by Fantasy Flight Games. Check out this event center. One of the best in the metro area

Huge space full of people having fun playing games. Wall of games available to pick from and play. Helpful staff for suggestions or pouring you a delicious drink. One of my favorite places to meet up with people.

Extremely clean tidy and friendly. Has a great selection of up to date board games to buy and try! Best of all they have a really good selection of food and snacks and you really can spend a whole Saturday or evening here gaming. Big play area and friendly staff and patrons.

The pull here is for the gaming atmosphere and options. The retail selection is sparse compared to some others in the area, and ffgc's menu options offsets that. Would give 5 stars but have had issues with ordering items through here.

If you like board games, even a little, you need to visit FFGEC. Their free play space alone is well worth a trip from anywhere in the Twin Cities metro. Add to that their food and beer selection and the game store, you just need to go.

Great space for gaming. Tons of tables, friendly staff... I go there on saturdays for an old school D&D group and I'm thinking about starting up a Toastmasters group just for gamers. This is a great place for your gaming events. Plus games to browse n buy, and food on site, they'll page you at your table when your grub is ready!

This place is awesome. I'll just make a list of the ways it is awesome:

-Good food
-Free to play game library that anybody can come in and use
-Good selection of games for sale
-Friendly, helpful staff
-A great environment welcoming to all levels of gamers
-Fun, organized game nights

I only buy games from this place because they are so cool about offering up a whole mess of games for anyone to play. I think those are enough reasons to justify the 5 star rating. Go in and check this place out!

Stopped by during a business trip. The center is stocked with hundreds of board, card, and role playing games for anyone to walk in and play. Be sure to bring a few friends so you're not standing around alone like I was. Luckily, I was able to find a few people to let me play with them, so I was able to play a few games while I was there.

The bar serves food as well as some beers on tap. I'm not completely sure what they serve, but the selection looked acceptable for this type of establishment.

Seems like a great place, I would like to spend more time in with a group of friends!

This is the Mecca of Fantasy Flight Games. They offer a huge space for playing many board games or areas to play miniatures. Lovely clean place with food and drink service. Great spot to come and sink a few hours with friends.

They also host a variety of events and not just for the games they make. You can also purchase a variety of games or play ones they offer for free at the store. A must stop for any board game enthusiast.

The Fantasy Flight Games Center is a wonderful place. I would imagine most people don't know what it is, or where it is. Across the Roseville Post Office, the GC isn't just a "normal" store. Yes, you can purchase or special order your games here. You can also order food, drinks, and most anything that could catch your fancy.

You can ask any of the seasoned staff questions about new releases.

There is a wall of demo games that you can play at any time. There is also a ton of seating and tables - bring your own games and play, or hang out with your guild and play some roll playing games.

The GC offers support for casual gaming, new gamers, and tournaments.

Stop in and see what they have to offer and you may find your new favorite regular hangout.

Awesome place. I went in thinking it's a place to buy and play games with a small kitchen if you're hungry and walked out feeling it's a great place to eat that lets you play games and buy what you enjoyed playing. Seriously, the food is awesome and they have a huge library of games you can play there for free. I will be coming back for more.

It's been impossible for me to visit and not get lost in fun for hours. Food is great, staff are incredibly approachable and passionate and will help explain any game you're interested in. The worst part of Fantasy Flight is when it's time to go. It's a great place to play games you love and find new games to get excited about.

The game center is great the staff really make this place what it is. They really don t get enough appreciation for all the hard work they put in! Special thanks to Dave for being an absolute rock star!!! He really put in the time, effort, and hard work when this place first opened as the Event Center and pushed it to be the thriving Game Center it is today great work Dave! The GC also offers a lot of space for gaming, and event area, and great menu items!

FFG Event Center is a great place to hang out and play games. The food is pretty standard, greasy bar fare but nice to have on location. Their store is overpriced, but having a huge game library makes most same day purchases unnecessary. Some great deals can be had on Black Friday and sporadically throughout the year (I just got a couple games for a song). The staff is friendly and helpful and loves games as well.

Amazing place. Tons of games that you can play for free, awesome tools for miniature painting, great store front, and good food. Yes, the food is overpriced. But stop and think about all of the FREE stuff available to you there. Many people go here and don't spend a dime, and having such a large space isn't cheap. I'm fine spending a couple dollars extra on certain food items if it means access to so many great free things.

This is a great place to go to buy games and to play them. I prefer this space to source or some of the other local gaming stores, as you have a bit more space and if you plan strategically, can get spaces for playing games that are tucked away and less prone to being drowned out by other tables. Also, the in-house cafe is great, serving a mix of bar-staples (burgers, onion rings, etc.) With more refined fare (fancy salads, delicate desserts, etc.) Also, obviously, Fantasy Flight Games always available here So, yeah. Worth checking out!

Fun place to gather and play games. They have many in stock to borrow, or buy, or bring your own. There is also a little snack bar with sandwiches, cookies, beer, wine, and POUTINE MMMMMMM

Huge fan of this place. It s an awesome place to just hangout for a while and play some games. They have a ton of different ones you can try before you decide if you want to get it or not. The food there is pretty good to and the staff is very nice. Highly recommend if you re a fan of table top games.

Obviously the majority of games stocked were asmodee, but that covers a lot of ground. There was a small offering from other publishers though.

I thought it was very cool to see all the LCG content, but was disappointed that their key forge selection was minimal.

Unfortunately I was only able to visit midweek. Had there been more people or opportunities to take advantage of the space, I would have stayed longer, but... there was a pandemic going on after all.

Cool experience.

I usually go here for Dungeons and Dragons Adventure League and always have found the customers and employees to be friendly and welcoming. However, the food provided, though fairly good in taste, often takes a prolonged time to be fulfilled. Otherwise, it's a good place.

For as big as the place is I thought there would be a better selection of games. Most of the store is used for playing games. They seem to only focus on a few major games. They only cater to card, board, and RPG (D&D, Pathfinder) games. No video games.

Fantasy Flight is great. They are biased towards their own games, obviously, but their games are fantastic. Their selection may not be as expansive as others, but the staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

I mostly come here for Monday night Magic drafts at 1830. Brendan, the organizer, is easily one of the most awesome people I've played with/against. He strives to make sure everyone is poised to have a great time and has been quite successful at learning people's names quickly (and greeting you by name next time!).

I haven't tried their food or drinks, but they're there if you want to!
