Good Games

Good Games is an LGBTQ-led card and game store at 111 S Meridian St in downtown Indianapolis. The store focuses on games off the beaten path, with a play schedule built around trading card games: Pokémon, Digimon Card Game, One Piece Card Game and Star Wars: Unlimited, plus Riftbound and Gundam TCG events. It suits players who want a regular tournament night for one of the newer card games without leaving the city center.

Games and events

The store runs weekly tournaments for Pokémon, Digimon Card Game and One Piece Card Game, and hosts Star Wars: Unlimited Premier tournaments. Release events and special nights come on top of that. The Gundam TCG Stardust Trails release event, held October 30, costs $30 to enter, starts at 6 PM and pays out a pack per entry and a pack for each round won. Nexus Nights, the Riftbound events, are held here too. A Final Fantasy biweekly play night also runs at the store.

Weekly play

Each Saturday entry earns a prize pack, and the Pokémon event is the anchor of the week.

Riftbound plays on Fridays in a Constructed 1v1 format for a $10 entry, with play now starting at 6:30 PM. Digimon and One Piece also have weekly tournaments that fall in the afternoon and early evening; check the event calendar for current start times, since the schedule shifts from week to week.

Getting there

Good Games sits on South Meridian Street in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. Phone and email contact is handled through the store directly, and regular opening hours are not yet confirmed here, so plan visits around the event times above.

History and ownership

Good Games Indianapolis is one location of the North American Good Games chain, which also operates a store on West Webster Avenue in Chicago. The chain's roots are in Australia, where it runs stores of its own.
