Welcome to Grass Valley Games Nevada County's premier destination for comics, board games, rpgs, card games, miniatures, & a friendly place to socialize & play.
This game store is always well stocked and well-kept, and everyone seems to be highly knowledgeable, but what I appreciate about it the most is its staff, and the gaming community they host.. I work as a companion for a woman with autism, as well as some other variations of neurodiversity, and she is an avid gamer that loves to visit this store. Her behaviors, especially when excited, can be irritating and overwhelming for people, but every time we visit Grass Valley Games, the staff and everyone in there are not only amazingly patient and deeply kind, they actually engage with her and treat her with so much respect. They allow her to disrupt their game, don’t react to her volume or repeating stories, and let her commandeer their conversations without showing annoyance-they welcome her interest and commentary, and it never feels patronizing or disingenuous. While it should be that way everywhere, sadly that’s not the case. I hope that the staff at this wonderful business and community hub it’s become understand just how much their kindness and acceptance means, to both of us. It allows a sense of belonging that is a part of a larger effort to provide that human connection that we all need and crave. I was planning to write a thank you note to the owner, but decided it would hold more value if I let everyone wondering about this store know how welcoming and comfortable it is.
