Our Story
The Game Keep of Hermitage was established in 1996 by Karl Myers after its previous iteration, Games Extraordinaire, closed its doors. Karl happily retired in 2020, and the beloved store was purchased by Ron and Brandy Waggoner. As regulars of the store and frequent organizers of events, taking over the business was an easy decision! Our team is proud to carry on The Keep’s legacy, and will do so for many more years to come.
We offer a wide variety of events, tournaments, trading days, and painting sessions. Keep up to date on events and contests by following us on Facebook or joining our Discord server! We boast a large and friendly community who would love to aid you on your gaming quest.
The Game Keep is committed to offering an exceptional gaming experience for all. Our business is centered on creating a welcoming environment for gamers to call home. After all, it’s not whether you win or lose... it’s where you play the game!

This place is awesome!
I have a LOT of board games, and I have been looking for a local board game store that has a good collection and places to play. Most 'board game' stores really specialize in collectable card games (Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, etc) or Warhammer, and usually don't have a good board game selection.
The Game Keep does have Warhammer (and I'm assuming M:tG/Pokemon, but I didn't look for those), but they also have a HUGE selection of board games!!! This is especially good for me, since it's hard to find games I want that I don't already have. They had a lot of games I have never heard of before.
They also have a LOT of tables to play games. Including the area next door, they have at least 10-15+ tables to play games. I believe they have 3 bathrooms to cover all the play areas. Although I didn't ask, it looked like they also have a library of games available to play in-store.
Another good point in their favor is that their prices were competitive (if not the same) as online retailers.
Lastly, the people that were working there were very friendly and helpful.
Although it's not close to where I live, I'm sure I will visit there again when I'm wanting to buy a new game!

100% my favorite game store!!!
The people who run this place are FANTASTIC! There gaming space in the back of the store is really nice and they do an amazing job of updating their inventory on the regular. They get in board games that I've never seen anywhere else, and they sell some really great paint for models. There is a rewards system for however much money you spend , which is always great. But even if I did not game, I would still come in here for the amazing company and the ambiance!
Now, if I could just talk them into carrying Transformers stuff.. 😂
