How selling works

A space built for playing in

Most stores squeeze a folding table between the shelves. We have a proper play space, and it's open to rent for your group, your campaign or your tournament.

  • Store terrain and an ever-growing rulebook library are included
  • Planning something larger? Ask, and we'll see if we can accommodate it.
  • A functional paint bar, equipped for painting with your friends
  • Box King gaming tables — furniture for gamers, by gamers
Rent the space
Game Nook's play space set with Box King gaming tables and chairs, one table topped with a purple play surface, magnifier lamps in the foreground and the shop's shelves beyond.

Making a day of it in Rocky Mount

Conveniently at the hub of I-95 and US-64, we're a short trip from Wilson, Tarboro, Greenville or even the Triangle. Make a day of it with our guide to the rest of the town — where to eat, what to do with kids, where to go when it rains, and the history most visitors never hear about. Thelonious Monk was born here. Dr. King used the words “I have a dream” here in 1962, nine months before Washington.
