Moonshot Games - Plainfield

Moonshot Games - Plainfield is a game store at 1620 E Main St, Suite 151 in Plainfield, Indiana, one of two Moonshot locations in the northern Indianapolis region. It carries Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Disney Lorcana and Star Wars: Unlimited alongside board games, kids games, Dungeons & Dragons, dice, minis and paints. It suits players who want a store that handles both the card side and the tabletop side, and shoppers who like the option of ordering ahead for in-store pickup.

What's on the shelves

The card games are Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Disney Lorcana and Star Wars: Unlimited. The store buys, sells and hosts play for Magic, Pokémon and Lorcana, with singles and sealed product sorted by current set. Magic stock is broken out by format, including Commander, Standard, Modern, Booster Draft, Value Vintage, Two-Headed Giant and a bargain bin for EDH. Pokémon singles and sealed product are organized by recent sets, and Lorcana and Star Wars: Unlimited each have their own set-by-set sections.

The tabletop side is broad. The store specializes in board games, kids games, Dungeons & Dragons, dice, minis and paints, and also sells puzzles, other roleplaying games, preowned board games, deck boxes, sleeves, playmats, drinks and snacks. Board games can be browsed by player count, theme, piece count and franchise.

Events

The store runs prerelease events for major sets. For the Star Trek prerelease, the Friday Main Event at Plainfield runs from 7 PM to midnight on November 6, and the Saturday Main Event runs from 5 PM to 10 PM on November 7 and plays four rounds. A Two-Headed Giant prerelease is also scheduled at the Plainfield store. Each event has its own entry fee, format and prize wall.

A Magic Academy is planned: a program where new players can learn to play and take home a free deck. It is upcoming rather than running now.

Store policies

Returns are accepted for 30 days from the date of purchase on eligible items that are unused and in their original packaging. Magic, Pokémon, sports cards and other trading card game products are non-returnable because of daily market repricing, and gift cards are not returnable either. A preorder canceled before it ships is refunded minus a 10% restocking fee.

Online orders are capped at 8 units of any single product, which keeps new releases and short-supply items available to more customers. The cap does not apply to Moonshot Rips purchases, the store's live-streamed pack-opening service. Orders placed with the Plainfield store can be shipped or picked up. Web orders typically go out within one to two business days, and the store ships to US addresses including APO, FPO and DPO military addresses but not internationally. Store credit is valid for one year from the date it is issued.

The store holds WPN Premium Store status for organized play.
