Space Coast Games

Space Coast Games is a hobby store for tabletop and trading card games at 2400 S Hopkins Ave in Titusville, Florida. It carries Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Flesh and Blood and sports cards, with Warhammer miniatures and tabletop gaming supplies alongside them. It is open Wednesday through Sunday, with hours running to 9 PM most days, and it suits card players who want singles and sealed product in one place as well as miniatures painters working through a league.

What's on the shelves

Singles are a core part of the store. The singles stock covers Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Flesh and Blood and Star Wars: Unlimited, and sealed product is carried for many of the same games. Newer and smaller card games are stocked too, among them Gundam Card Game, Union Arena, CookieRun: Braverse and Riftbound: League of Legends Trading Card Game. Upcoming releases can be preordered, including booster boxes, cases and starter decks.

Supplies run deep. Card sleeves, deck boxes, play mats, binders and portfolios, dice, and sports card sleeves and toploaders are all on the shelves, with brands such as Dragon Shield, Ultimate Guard and Ultra PRO. The store also sells apparel, collectibles, board games, tabletop roleplaying games and Dungeons & Dragons products. Cards can be sold to the store, and products that are not on the shelves can be custom ordered.

Warhammer and miniatures

Miniatures are a large part of the floor. The store sells Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar miniatures, accessories, paint sets, Citadel paints and brushes, and Dungeons & Dragons miniatures. Army boxes and squads from factions such as Adepta Sororitas, Adeptus Custodes, Astra Militarum and Black Templars are priced from roughly $40 to $70, with larger battleforce sets costing more.

A Warhammer 40,000 escalation league ran for six months, from March 1 to August 31, using the Crusade format with seven rounds from 500 points up to 2,000 points. It opened with a paint and take session in the store, held on a Friday at 6:30 PM, where each player assembled and painted a Space Marine miniature. The league met on Thursdays at 6:30 PM for organized play, painting and strategy talk, and league players saved 10 percent on Warhammer. The league also scored painting and narrative alongside missions.

Events and play

The store hosts regular tournaments, game nights and events, with open play tables available. The store opened with a grand opening on Friday, December 6, which offered free play at open tables from 10 AM until close, locally brewed coffee, sweet treats from a local company, discounts of 15 percent on Warhammer products and 10 percent on trading card games and accessories, and a raffle for a free booster pack for a year.
