About Us

The Gamer’s Armory opened for business in August of 2002 as an Online Game Store. With many years of online customer support and a growing demand for product, we decided to venture into the world of brick and mortar. We opened the doors to our physical Store located in Cary, North Carolina on June 30, 2010 and re-located to a larger space within the same shopping center on November 1, 2013. Our main goal is to keep the historical/fantasy/card gaming hobby growing both online and locally and to strengthen the local gaming community! We have always and will continue to strive to maintain an Online Web Store, with great customer service, where gamers can order products of all kinds by various distributors at a discounted price for both the product and the cost of bundled shipping. As we grow our physical Store, we will continue to pursue our passion to create and maintain a local place where people of all ages, interested in all types of games can come together and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from personal interaction and the strategy of gaming face to face!

To keep our discounts high and your prices low, we can not stock every item that our distributors carry. If there is an item that you are looking to purchase and we do not have it in stock or if it is a pre-order, please let us know and we will be happy to place a special order for you! We will do our best to locate that item from one of our distributors! Most orders are received within three to five business days after the order is placed. Once your item arrives in the Store, we will call or e-mail you to let you know it is in if you placed your order in the Store. If you placed your order online, we will ship your item as soon as it is received. You will not be charged for the item until you pick it up or until it ships!

In an effort to accommodate the growing needs of our customers, we will continue to add additional products to our inventory. Be on the lookout for these items in the news section of our home page.

The Gamer’s Armory has tables and terrain available for open gaming during regular business hours and we also have a Store Library with samples of many popular games available for customers to test before they buy it! We host a variety of game nights, tournaments, demos and special events in our Store. Please check out our Event Calendar or our Weekly Events from the Main Menu for more details. The link to our Event Calendar is available along the top menu of our website. If there are Events that you would like to see, please let us know and we will do what we can to get them on the schedule.

Customer Comments

testimonial 1

"You are a wonderful addition to the local gaming community. I’ve been coming to the shop for less than a year, but it already feels like a long-time friend. Thank you for all the effort you’ve put into making everyone feel welcome."

testimonial 2

I’ve bought from The Gamer’s Armory online store before he opened the brick and mortar location. Very friendly to work with and great service. I was introduced to his store because of his ASL selection. Very deep selection for that system. It looks like he’s expanding beyond board wargames, which is great. Now, if I only lived near Cary, NC. 🙂 I wish you all the best in your new chapter of the business.

I recently attended The Gamer’s Armory ASL Game Day. Before attending I e-mailed the Store to inquire if new Players would find someone willing to teach this somewhat complex game. I got a reply, from Crystal, stating noobs are always welcome and I should show up and a good time would be guaranteed. Crystal could not have been more correct. Both Scott and another player, Jamey, did their best to help me out. They even called a player who they thought was the best person to teach me the game and attempted to find out if he was showing up to the Game Day. Thanks again Jamey and Scott for an extremely enjoyable day of ASL.

The Gamer’s Armory is certainly awesome, and is an excellent place for gamers to call their home store. It’s the single best place to play games of any kind in the area, hands down. We give our support because we want to be able to enjoy the Armory and the games we play.

testimonial 5

Finally there is a local game store that I feel comfortable hanging out at! 🙂 This is the first game store I’ve felt truly at home in. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, and safe and I can always find someone to play with! Crystal and Scott have really done an awesome job making the store a great place to be! My husband and I have really enjoyed the events and amenities offered by the store and we look forward to gaming there for many years! 🙂

The Gamer’s Armory is amazing, the environment got me completely back into games. I had fallen out of interest for a while but when I happened upon the Armory I definitely regrew my interest, and Scott and Crystal helped me add to my already large Fantasy Flight Games collection. The people are inviting and friendly, and every week I see more new faces and more new games! My favorite perk is that when Scott isn’t hard at work he sneaks away to play a game. Unfortunately, he’s very easy to defeat. But they say those who can’t win sell! 😉

I would like to thank you guys for not only opening a store very convenient to my home, not only for allowing us a place to play whatever random minis game the wind blows our way but also for being good, down-to-earth and friendly people. It is a great pleasure every time I interact with you.
