Tips From Regulars

First Time Here

Pete (the owner) and staff are exceptionally knowledgeable about painting techniques, color selection, and basing supplies. Don't hesitate to ask for guidance on your army—they excel at giving practical tips without overselling, even for beginners.

The store has a strong, welcoming community focused on Warhammer 40K and other wargames. New hobbyists report feeling immediately comfortable, receiving painting tips, and connecting with other players in a genuinely friendly environment.

Pro Tip

Reserve tables in advance by phone or website if you want guaranteed seating during events—4 tables are reservation-only while 4 are first-come-first-serve. Check their event schedule for 'Dream it, Build it, Grow it' events on Mondays at 7:00 PM.

What To Expect

Pile of Games stocks an excellent selection of miniature paints, basing supplies, and terrain sets that reviewers note are hard to find elsewhere in Albuquerque. Come prepared to find specialty hobby materials you won't locate at other local stores.

Bonus: Pile of Games now offers food service including noodle bowls, so you can spend extended gaming sessions without leaving the store.
