The Game Shoppe

North Omaha tabletop and card hub on N 144th Street, open 11AM-9PM most days and 10AM Saturdays, with Magic, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh in the mix.

The Game Shoppe is a long-running tabletop store at 4014 N 144th Street, in the 68116 ZIP, serving the northwest part of Omaha. With about 400 Google reviews at a 4.7 average and its own site at thegameshoppe.com, it has been a regular name in local conversations about where to play and where to buy.

Its core strength is game-night infrastructure. Weekday hours run 11AM to 9PM, and Saturday opens an hour early, at 10AM, and also runs until 9PM. That is a full ten-hour day for people who want to meet friends and play. Sunday is noon to 6PM, a gentler afternoon pace.

We tag the shop for Magic: The Gathering, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, singles and events. In a store like this, trading cards are one part of a larger tabletop ecosystem that also includes board games and miniatures, and that mix is useful: parents who bring a kid for Pokemon can find something for themselves, and players who come for a Magic draft can grab a new board game on the way out.

Visit timing is flexible. If you want to browse, a weekday afternoon is typically quiet. If you want to join a game, evenings and Saturdays are when the tables fill up. The shop phone is (402) 991-8699, and calling is the most reliable way to check on a release-weekend event or a special order.

For people searching for a trading card shop in Omaha that also doubles as a play space, The Game Shoppe is one of the more established choices on the north and west side, with long hours that fit around school and work.
