    Probable new nerdy local hangout/gaming place. Closer, yet less intimate than Olympic Cards and Comics in Lacey. Definitely a place ill be going to again for games and cards!

    Game Play and meeting new friends is definitely the way to go. You can order food to go at Cafe Mox for consumption in card Kingdom as well
