RallyPoint Games

RallyPoint Games is a board, card and tabletop game store at 8132 Old Leonardtown Road in Hughesville, Maryland, serving Southern Maryland's gaming crowd. It is set up as a family friendly shop that covers trading card games, miniatures wargaming, roleplaying and board games under one roof, which makes it a fit for households where players range in age and don't all play the same thing.

What's on the shelves

The trading card lineup covers seven games: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Digimon Card Game and Flesh and Blood. That is a broad spread for a shop of this size, and it spans both the long-running games and the newer ones.

Card players are only part of the customer base. The tabletop roleplaying shelf stocks Pathfinder and Dungeons & Dragons. The wargaming section carries Warhammer, Bolt Action and Konflikt 47, and the miniatures selection includes Warhammer kits, Kill Team sets and datacards alongside smaller fantasy and sculpted figures. Accessories and supplies include sculpting tools and a pin vice with drill bits, which suit people who assemble and paint their own armies. Board games round out the stock, with a large variety aimed at all ages.

Weekly play

The store builds its week around three recurring nights.

Friday Night Magic is the Magic: The Gathering night, while the Wednesday and Thursday events are aimed at miniatures wargamers and general tabletop players.

Getting there

The store sits on Old Leonardtown Road in Hughesville, Maryland 20637. Two other shops are within a few minutes of it in town: Primtyme Sports Cards is 0.2 miles away and Time Warp Comics is 0.3 miles away, so a visit can easily be combined with a stop at either one.

The local scene

Beyond Hughesville, the nearest stores are in Waldorf. Clubhouse Comics Card Games is 3.8 miles away, Game Parties R Us is 8.2 miles away and Angus Macgregor's Trading Post is 8.8 miles away. Players who want to compare stock or find a second weeknight event have a handful of options within a short drive.

Who it suits

RallyPoint Games fits a household that plays several different games and wants a single stop for Magic on Friday, a wargaming table midweek, and a shelf of board games for the rest of the family. Fans of Disney Lorcana and One Piece Card Game will find their games on the shelf alongside the older staples. The store is also working on bringing in new games and new suppliers, so the selection is still growing.
