Elite Game Spot

Elite Game Spot is a family gaming center and trading card store at 287 S Front St in Creswell, Oregon. It pairs a retail counter for Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game and Disney Lorcana with a floor of consoles and screens where customers play on site, and it takes bookings for parties. It suits families who want a place to play as well as shop, and collectors who also deal in video games.

What's on the shelves

Tabletop card games are the retail core. The store carries Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game and Disney Lorcana, along with Gundam, Riftbound and Union Arena.

Beyond cards, the store sells new and used video games, consoles, gaming accessories, board games, plushies and toys. Inventory turns over constantly, so what is on hand changes from visit to visit.

The store also buys. It accepts trade-ins and donations of used games and purchases used gaming items in good condition. Grading services are offered as well.

Play on site

The floor is built around playing, not only buying. Both new and retro games are available to play in the store, on an array of 55 inch TVs connected to PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles. Hundreds of games are on hand.

Seating is generous. There are plenty of individual gaming chairs for players and several couches where parents can relax while the kids play.

Parties and events

The space is set up to host parties, with room to feed and entertain guests. Parties and other events can be booked by phone.
