That’s Actually on Memorial Drive
The Forge is the trading card game store Memorial players stop ordering online for. The sealed wall carries seven TCGs, restocked every Saturday morning, with Dragon Shield and Ultra Pro sleeves, deck boxes, playmats, and binders one peg over.
Each game on the wall has a live scene behind it, not just shelf space. Buy the deck, then play it the same week without leaving the building.
- Magic: The Gathering anchored by Friday Night Magic and a community that’s roughly 99 percent Commander
- Pokémon TCG with judged Saturday events at 6 PM run by Professor Bryan, a certified Pokémon judge, plus pre-releases for every new set
- Riftbound, supported since its launch, among the first Houston shops to run it from day one
- One Piece TCG, Flesh and Blood, Gundam TCG, and Star Wars Unlimited in boosters, bundles, and precons
The wall carries no singles cases and no bulk bins. Boosters, bundles, and precons across all seven games. Players hunting individual cards trade at the tables, where deep Friday Commander pods make willing partners and the trade economy stays inside the community.
Warhammer and the Wargaming Wall
Warhammer and the
Wargaming Wall
Warhammer holds the deepest shelf space in the store, and Memorial’s generals give those shelves a workout. Every current Games Workshop system is stocked and played: 40K, Age of Sigmar, Kill Team, Necromunda, Horus Heresy, and The Old World.
Beyond the grimdark, the wall covers Marvel Crisis Protocol, Star Wars Shatterpoint, Star Wars Legion, X-Wing, BattleTech, Warmachine, Bolt Action, Conquest, Halo: Flashpoint, Team Yankee, and Flames of War. Competitive 40K RTTs run the 2nd Saturday of every month, and Horus Heresy runs the 3rd.
Board Games, D&D, and Two Doors That Close
Board Games, D&D,
and Two Doors That Close
The RPG shelves carry D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowdark, Dungeon Crawl Classics, and Warhammer Fantasy, backed by two private RPG rooms that book through Square up to 4 weeks ahead. Session Zero nights seat new roleplayers with a DM and rotating systems.
“Amazing place! I recently got into D&D and stopped by to see what they had. Michael was incredibly helpful and welcoming.”(Kelsee Jordan, Google review, 5 stars)
Board games run from gateway staples to Twilight Imperium as regular stock. Friday nights the open tables turn into player-led board game territory, and solo walk-ins from the Villages get absorbed fast.
Events 7 Nights a Week, Zero Commute Guilt
| Night | What’s Running |
|---|---|
| Monday | Open miniature gaming across the hall |
| Tuesday | AMG Tuesdays: Star Wars Shatterpoint, Marvel Crisis Protocol and more |
| Wednesday | Open play and league nights |
| Thursday | Warlord Games Thursdays, the store’s biggest Thursday following |
| Friday | Friday Night Magic and Commander pods, plus player-led board games |
| Saturday | Pokémon TCG at 6 PM with Professor Bryan, plus new releases at 10 AM |
| Sunday | Open gaming and occasional miniature events |
For most of Houston, a Tuesday night event means an hour of round-trip driving. For Memorial, it means being home by 10:15. That math is why regulars here play more nights than anyone.
Event seats and private rooms book through Square, and big nights sell out, especially RTT Saturdays and pre-release weekends. Open-play tables stay walk-in only, terrain provided. The Discord community keeps pickup games running between official events.
