Game & Company

Game & Company is a local game store at 239 E Walled Lake Drive in Walled Lake, Michigan, that pairs a trading card counter with a wide board game section and a library of games to try before buying. The atmosphere runs relaxed and beginner-friendly, which suits families, newcomers to tabletop gaming and card players who want a store that also feels like a place to sit down and play.

What's on the shelves

Trading cards are the core of the card side. The store carries Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana and Star Wars: Unlimited. The shelves also extend to Riftbound, Gundam TCG, Palworld and Cyberpunk TCG, along with TCG accessories and other card games.

Beyond cards, the store stocks board games sorted by weight and style: light, medium and heavy strategy, cooperative, party, two-player, kids and classic games. It also sells role playing games, miniatures, dice, Warhammer and paints, plus LEGO across many themes, toys, model kits, merchandise and squishies. The store buys cards and games from customers too, and preorders are open for upcoming releases.

Events and prereleases

The calendar leans on set launches, and a weekly event calendar runs alongside the larger dates. The store also hosts birthday parties and team building events.

The Star Trek prerelease is followed by an MTG: Star Trek Commander Party on Nov 24, and a Cyberpunk TCG Welcome to Night City Prerelease Event is on the calendar for Oct 31.

Store policies

Trading card games are final sale. Sealed, unopened board games, puzzles, crafts and decks of cards can be returned within 30 days of purchase with a receipt.

The Library Effect covers opened board games. If a customer bought and opened a game that is not already in the store's board game library and wants to return it, the store refunds 50% of the purchase price in store credit, and the game goes into the library for future customers to try before they buy. It applies to in-store purchases only.

Preorder cancellations made before shipment or pickup carry a nonrefundable payment-processing charge, capped at 5% of the order total. Quantity and household purchase limits apply across related accounts and orders, and orders found to evade a limit can be cancelled with the same capped deduction.

Hours and getting there

The store is at 239 E Walled Lake Drive, Walled Lake, MI 48390. It is open on Sundays from noon to 10 PM, and customers can stop in any day of the week to shop and play.
