That's the one thing I've discovered about this new store that I'm disappointed with. The people working don't seem to want to talk about things with me. Maybe just because I'm their dad's age. The guys will answer a question or two without really making eye contact or seeming to actually interact. But that's as much as they're willing to put forth. The girls seem to think I'm a creeper guy for talking to them and suddenly need to do something somewhere else. For a 'tabletop' game store, face to face communication doesn't seem to be their priority or in their comfort zone.
Cool thing about the place is there are several tables set up to play on, and a large variety of games on the back wall for you to sit and try out if you wish.
I'll look for the titles you suggest. We have really gotten back into game night.

There used to be a comics and games place near me that was a very cool hang. Two brothers owned and ran the place. They were both really into all the stuff they sold and were willing to talk for hours about anything you wanted to discuss. They would even talk NFL, or NHL if you wanted.
That's the interaction I was used to and guess I expected from this new place. More than a little disappointed with how 'cliquish?' it feels instead.

They are probably not trying to be that way, but they have grown up differently than many of us. I find a lot of younger people are like this. It's almost like they are thinking, why are you asking me, just look it up. LoL
I used to live at the comic book shop .

That sucks. The one near me has managed to hire a few folks that seem to tolerate human interaction rather than run from it.

I'll try and remember to check back here and talk more about games.
