They have an amazing play space and are always willing to do special orders for games people are looking for.
Capstone Games Retail Store has Eurogames as their main product inventory, and also carries board wargames, big-box “ameritrash” games, tabletop RPGs, collectible card games, general game accessories (dice, game mats, markers, etc), and minis accessories (terrain, paint, etc).

Capstone is an amazing place. They may not be overly into wargames, but Chris High (Catastrophe Games) works there and has been bringing more war games or at least war-adjacent games into the mix.
