Games Ahoy Loveland South

Part card counter, part video game museum — the East Eisenhower Games Ahoy stocks TCG singles and sealed across seven games plus a disc resurfacer at the back.

Walk into the East Eisenhower store and the first impression is density. Reviewers reach for the same phrase — part game store, part video game museum — because the walls run floor to ceiling with four decades of consoles and cartridges. The trading card side has grown into a real operation alongside it, and the seven-hundred-plus review count says plenty of people come specifically for that.

Singles and sealed cover Magic, Pokemon, One Piece, Lorcana, the Gundam TCG, Sorcery, and Star Wars Unlimited. Beyond cards there are board games, plush, figures, wall scrolls, posters, pins, plus Japanese game imports and a shelf of Asian candy and drinks that has become its own reason to stop.

The trade counter is the operational heart. Games Ahoy buys, sells, and trades video games retro through current generation, pays cash or store credit, and backs every preowned item with a ninety-day working guarantee. There's a disc resurfacer on site — one reviewer brought in GameCube discs that came back working perfectly. Staff will phone the sister stores in Fort Collins, Loveland North, and Longmont to run down stock rather than shrug.

One honest note for players rather than shoppers: the chain's public event calendar currently shows every recurring weekly event tagged to the Fort Collins or Longmont rooms. Loveland-organized play appears to have consolidated to those locations, so treat this store as retail and trade-in rather than a place to sit down for a tournament.

Hours are 11AM to 8PM Monday through Saturday and noon to 7PM Sunday — the longest consistent weekday window of any Loveland card shop. The 4.6 average across more than 640 Google reviews skews heavily five-star, with staff named individually more often than any product.
