One Drop Game Shop

One Drop Game Shop is a tabletop and card game store in Wichita, Kansas, that opened in 2022 and is in the middle of a move. It carries Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Flesh and Blood, Disney Lorcana and One Piece Card Game on the card side, with Dungeons & Dragons, Catan and Descent among its tabletop games. It suits Magic players most of all, from casual tables to tournament regulars, and anyone who wants room to sit down and play rather than just shop.

What's on the shelves

Magic: The Gathering is the store's deepest category, with singles and sealed product both in stock. The card side also includes Pokémon, Flesh and Blood, Disney Lorcana and One Piece Card Game. Board games and role-playing games fill out the rest: Dungeons & Dragons, Catan and Descent are among them. Playmats are sold too.

Magic singles are also sold online, run by a staff member who has played Magic since 2001.

Events and organized play

The store hosts events daily, with a heavy lean toward Magic. It runs Magic: The Gathering prerelease events, and players describe them as well organized, friendly and staffed by people who answer rules questions. Casual play and tournaments both have a place here, so a first-timer and a regular grinder can each find a seat.

The staff skews toward deep Magic knowledge. One associate is a certified Level 1 Magic judge, another is a semi-pro player with 13 Top 8 finishes in Regional Championship Qualifiers and one win, and the assistant manager is the in-store Riftbound judge. Commander is well represented among the staff, from budget builds to competitive lists.

The space

Customers consistently point to the play area: the shop is clean, spacious and organized, with room for board games as well as card tables. The store is built for players of every level to learn, play and compete, and the staff is set up to teach as well as sell.

Hours and getting there

The store is open every day, at 2724 N Amidon Ave in Wichita.

A move to 737 N Maize Rd, Suite 600, Wichita, KS 67212 is planned, with an opening set for Tuesday, September 1.

History

The owners opened One Drop in February 2022 after noticing a shortage of in-person gaming spaces following the pandemic. It grew out of a few friends gathering around a table into a store with a full staff of Magic specialists and a daily event schedule. The planned move is the next step in that growth.
