CM Games Lexington

CM Games in Lexington's Fayette Mall corridor stocks MTG, Pokemon and Warhammer, with long daily hours that make it easy to drop in after work.

CM Games Lexington sits inside the Fayette Mall area on Nicholasville Road, which gives it a very different rhythm from the neighborhood card counters nearby. The space is large enough to hold wall after wall of trading card games, miniatures kits, board games and collectible figures, and it stays open seven days a week, which is rare for this category.

For card players, the draw is breadth. Magic: The Gathering singles and sealed product share space with Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh and other trading card lines, along with the sleeves, deck boxes and binders that go with them. Warhammer shoppers get paint, kits and used-model trade-ins, though staff have been candid that what they pay depends on build and paint quality, so expect an honest conversation at the counter rather than a flat price list. Customers new to a game often mention that employees take time to explain which box fits their goals, which helps when the wall of options is overwhelming.

Prices on singles run closer to retail than to bargain-bin territory, so this is more of a convenience stop than a discount hunt. People travelling through central Kentucky also use it as a reliable place to restock and browse figures. If you want a one-stop trading cards Lexington stop that can cover a Commander upgrade, a birthday gift and a Warhammer paint pot in one trip, it is built for that.

Hours are simple: 10 AM to 8 PM Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 PM on Sunday. Evenings after work are steady, and weekday midmornings are the quietest time to ask questions. The store is in a mall-adjacent unit (look for store B201), so use the street address in your maps app and follow signs for the building entrance.
