Our Story

Families That Play Together Stay Together

More than a game store. We're on a mission to strengthen families and communities through the power of tabletop gaming.

Meet the Owner

From Navy SEAL to Game Store Owner

Shane spent 10 years as a Navy SEAL, serving his country and learning the value of teamwork, discipline, and community. When he transitioned to civilian life, he found a new mission: strengthening families through games.

As a father of five, Shane knows firsthand how games bring families together. Whether it's a quick card game or an epic campaign, the time spent around the table creates bonds that last a lifetime.

"I believe building a strong family community is essential to a productive society. My life has shown me that families that play together form stronger bonds and stay together."

Beyond the store, Shane stays active in the community as a track coach at Ben Davis High School, continuing his passion for mentoring young people.
