About Woodburn Games

Founded in 2018, Woodburn Games is Cincinnati’s premiere tabletop game store. 

Our mission is to provide an excellent shopping experience while building a community around tabletop gaming that is inviting, comfortable, and fun. We do this by maintaining best-in-class retail operations while welcoming players of all experience levels to make Woodburn Games their home away from home. 

For us to achieve this mission, we are committed to the following principles: 

• Folks are encouraged to show up as their authentic selves to Woodburn Games events 

• Players are expected to play at a casual pace and keep the competition friendly 

• All guests of the store will be expected to follow our community guidelines or be asked to leave 

• Staff is always available to receive complaints or feedback on how we can make our space more inclusive (both physically and emotionally) 

• Anonymous feedback can be submitted via the form on our Connect With Us page

About Evie & Michael 

Evie & Michael are the best of friends and spend way too much time together. Michael says it’s not enough. Evie is wondering how it could possibly be more. 

Feel free to interrupt them next time you’re in the store to ask them to do their jobs but be prepared to hear them argue with each other while they do it.
