Your Quest Starts Here: A Guide to the SBC Gaming Stores

Even though this year's Geek'd Con has come and gone, gamers, dungeon masters, and spellslingers across the Shreveport-Bossier City area are trying to find their people. The good news for anyone who doesn't have a local game store yet is that the SBC has a thriving scene with a variety of stores catering to every type of player, from casual collectors to competitive champions.

The GamersXP: Shreveport's Grand Gaming Hub

The GamersXP is undeniably the largest and most diverse local game store in the 318. This is where you'll find a bit of everything, from tabletop gaming pieces you've never seen to an endless catalog of trading cards. For fans of tabletop games like Warhammer, the good news is that GamersXP might have the most available playing space in the area.

For trading card gamers, you'll find communities for some of the most popular games like Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokémon. Being one of the oldest game stores in town, the scene for some of these games has earned a reputation for drawing in the most competitive players.

SteelFox Games & The Basement of Bossier City

If crowded game nights with heated competition aren't you're thing, there's a store just for you in Bossier City. The Basement is a hub for casual Magic: The Gathering events and a growing community around newer games like Sorcery.

If you're looking for something off the beaten path, Steelfox offers a unique and casually competitive environment for games that not many stores carry. Trading card games like Gundam and One Piece have a smaller fanbase compared to monoliths like Pokémon, but a dedicated community shows up to Steelfox regularly for these games.

Sportscards Louisiana: More than Sports

When you first read the name Sportscards Louisiana, you'd be forgiven for not realizing they do weekly Magic: The Gathering events. Indeed, the store is mostly focused on sports cards, but there's a dedicated community around the store's MTG scene.

Whether you're looking for a competitive challenge, a laid-back game night, or a unique community for your favorite card games, Shreveport-Bossier City has a store for you. It's time to gather your gear and begin your adventure at one of these local gaming havens.
