101 W. Prospect Ave.Mt. Prospect, IL847-577-9656http://www.games-plus.com/The crowd outside Games Plus before opening on Free RPG Day 2009Ah, Games Plus, one of my favoritest game stores in the world. This is a "gamer's game store," not a mall store, not a comic store, but the place you wished was near your house when you were 14 years old and had hours to browse. Games Plus has the most extensive RPG selection of any game store I've ever seen, and it's extremely well organized, with tabbed dividers for every game system. Their Dungeon Crawl Classics selection is excellent, with every title in stock and presented face-out. They have several gaming tables in the back, an enormous amount of wall space dedicated to miniatures, an extensive collection of tabletop terrain for wargaming, and a selection of rare gaming products behind the counter the way comic stores keep Amazing Fantasy #15 behind the counter. The store actively supports the gaming community with a constant schedule of events, an annual auction, a periodic EN World Games Day, and of course strong representation on Free RPG Day. I know a lot about the gaming industry, but every time I visit Games Plus, I walk away learning something new about games.
