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!

Tons of dice and boardgame accessories for all your needs. I love buying mystery items here as you always get more value that way. Can bring games there and play with people with the tables in the back! Great community of people and regulars and always welcoming to new folks.

Love the changes to the store. I hadn't been since the previous owner. The store is much nicer, cleaner, and larger now. You should check the place out! Worth the trip.

On 7/1/2025 Marcus Cole had this to say:
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!
