Grand Adventures Comics & Games

Murfreesboro's play-space stalwart on Memorial Blvd, dealing Pokemon and Magic singles by day and running game nights that stretch toward midnight.

Grand Adventures Comics & Games has worn a lot of hats for Murfreesboro's tabletop crowd, and the Memorial Boulevard shop still wears them all at once: comic store, Magic and Pokemon dealer, Warhammer supplier, and default living room for the city's game-night regulars.

The card inventory is broad rather than narrow. Magic: The Gathering singles and sealed product lead the way, backed by Pokemon packs and singles, Digimon, and a rotating cast of newer TCGs. Beyond cards, the shelves carry Warhammer 40,000 kits, Gundam models, RPG books, and a full run of new comics — the kind of spread that lets one stop cover an entire gaming group's shopping list.

Events are the heartbeat of the store. Regular gaming nights fill the play tables, and Magic trading events give collectors a reason to bring binders. The schedule pushes late by design: Friday hours run all the way to 11pm, while Tuesday through Thursday go to 9pm, opening at noon every day, with weekends running noon to 7pm. Chris, the owner, is a familiar face at the tables, and reviewers repeatedly call out the shop's welcoming, low-pressure LCS feel.

Parking off Memorial Boulevard is straightforward, and the location a few minutes north of the square makes it an easy add-on to any Murfreesboro card shop crawl — start with sports cards on Broad Street, then finish the evening here with a draft or a casual commander pod.
