Grab and Go Games 891 East Grand Avenue, Carbondale, IL 62901

"It's WILD to me to walk into a game shop and immediately feel like a bother to everyone both employees and the friends / customers hanging around Even after showing interest in spending a decent amount of money there wasn't 1% of kindness or even respect to be found It just feels like being in there store is a bother to them so i apologize and I'll make sure me and my local community of friends and customers of my business know not to bother these guys they seem to be just fine having their own personal hang out spot mt mistake for thinking it was a store front !"

"Last time I went into this store everyone just stopped what they were doing and stared at me without saying anything, very surreal experience. Mind you this was some time ago, but it was off putting enough for me not to go back. I have had much more pleasant experiences at the other game stores in town, spend your time/money at the other options."

"Pretty cool people to talk Pokemon with. I come here regularly to check in for new cards and booster packs. I always get caught up in a fun conversation about different cards and lore and it's always great to learn more than you didn't know and pass information about things to others they didn't know. Great atmosphere and a really fun and constantly changing collection. Definitely recommend to people to check out. Honestly the only reliable and reasonably priced collectible store in the area. CP, A2Z, and everywhere else (pawn shops like si pawn) all over price their product by several dollars. Imagine charging 7 dollars for a reverse hollow uncommon from SVI base set. Imagine charging 500 dollars for a used 3ds that's just sitting in a case unwrapped. Imagine charging 50 dollars for a gardevoir ex. Yes all of that I've seen at these other shops. At GnG, you don't have to worry about these things. They're honest people."

"Very strange store with very strange people. Not at all family friendly. This place is ran by middle aged men that have terrible sailor mouths. Not suitable for children. There's this weird pattern that shows from this store. About every few months the employees and their friends from here try and turn the community against each other. No one really knows who the owner is, or what is really going on behind the counter. Most of the community is positive that the employees here pay moles to set out and try to spy on other stores in the area. Their sense of community only shows if you are close friends with these people. If you're not "in" with their group of friends, you are basically an outsider and treated very differently. Also, be on the look out for fake cards from here, they have people going out and trying to sell them as real to other stores in the area."

"More like Grand and Great games! They have good pricing on singles and sealed product for TCG and a good amount of accessories too (sleeves, boxes, play mats, etc). Owners are friendly and welcoming as is their typical player base. Good spot if you are looking for some trading card game action in the Carbondale area."
