Critical Gaming was created in March of 2020 because a community of gamers and friends had been built, and with the previous stores closing, the community could have been lost. To save the community, three friends got together and used their skills and experience to open a new store, one open to people of all ages with the goal of bringing people together to play games once again. Critical Gaming specializes in tabletop trading card games such as Magic the Gathering, YuGiOh, and Pokémon, as well as Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer, and various board games.
